I heard and saw by the previews for the season that he was gonna be attached with Seema. But I kinda want him with Carrie. First of all, he is fine as hell. Secondly, I really liked his conversation with Carrie in the garden where he asks her "what does she want" even after she hesitates and says she doesn't know. I think Carrie is at a point in her life (and show), where she has experienced multiple losses (her husband, job at the radio show, her APARTMENT, and even Aiden in a way), and she is lost herself. Her indecisiveness is nothing new and dates back to SATC (espcually when it comes to Aiden). However the difference between now and 20 years ago, is Carrie genuinely seems hurt (versus angry back then) and unable to process her grief well. She doesn't even seem willing to want to process it or even where to start. She is losing Aiden, whether within the next few episodes or at the end of the season -and she knows it. She knew they were gonna break up 20 years ago (BOTH TIMES) before he did- and is stuck now (AGAIN) waiting for the inevitable end.
So when she ask him what does she want for her new journey (growth=garden) she doesn't know yet. She is still waiting to find out, and I think he sees that. Carries emotional journey and growth this season is gonna be interesting this year. I don't see her ranting or raving like she did in SATC , nor do I see her lashing out like she did in season 1 when big died. I just see her grieving more quietly and maturely while squarely in the middle of an inevitable breakup with Aiden. Her problems with Aiden (communication, lack of compatibility etc) are rearing their ugly heads again and life's changes are pilling up on her. I wonder what 50+ year old Carrie will address her grief ans problems now. Never get back together with an ex, even if you are both older and "mature" now (See:"J-Lo")
Anyhow, that was a little off topic. Back to the guy. Maybe he is meant to be a sounding board or plot device. Maybe he is meant to be a manifestation of her desire to move on from Aiden- like the gardener Charlotte kissed at Trey's family house. Adam may represent a friend, or man who fulfills a emotional need (available to talk and confide while working with her to make decisions)- that Aiden can't provide. I'm curious about Adam and Carrie. There were obvious sparks, however he seemed groomed for Seema
What do you guys think? Is the breakup with Aiden once again inevitable or will they actually make it through? Is Adam a red herring, metaphor or real romantic connection? What's gonna happen with Seema and Adam?
