If theres one ex-boyfriend who deserves a comeback, its Jack Berger.
Dont go back into that creepy haunted house with an evil nun puppet you cant remove!
Didnt you learn your lesson last time?!
Abetteralternative: Bring back Berger.
When Berger was dating Carrie in Season 6, it was a low and vulnerable time in his life.
And he was embarrassed to admit it to his incredibly cool, incredibly successful new girlfriend.
Dagger wound!The book is already published, Carrie!
He is sensitive and vulnerable!
That is not the moment for a critique!
But its too late; Berger is wounded, and his pride doesnt recover.
Its bad, I agree.
And its a shame because Carrie and Bergers beginning was so promising.
They had great chemistry and even better banter.
(Im a candy man.
Sammy Davis ripped me off.
You dont feel the need to use the junior?
He knew they had a problem and he was able to communicate through it.
(He brought salt and pepper shakers to the bed to pretend it was a restaurant!)
Most importantly, they had a shared sense of humor.
Berger was funny and smart, with a motorcycle and a house in the Hamptons.
He was also sensitive, defensive and, yes, immature but thats exactly why he deserves redemption.
In the time between the Post-it breakup andAJLT, I bet things have turned around for Berger.
I bet hes been in therapy, and not in a creepy,using-therapy-speak-to-be-abusiveway.
(That feels like a Skipper move.)
I am not an Aidan person and I will go on the record as saying that.
Aidan is a perfectly nice guy, but hes also sanctimonious and a little annoying.
(Actually, come to think of it, he would definitely usetherapy-speakin a completely wrong way.
Can you imagine it?
You smoking yes, even outside the house just violates my boundaries.)
Hes passive aggressive with Carrie and judges her for the jot down of person she is.
Carrie is not, and will never be, someone who likes camping or big dogs.
She likes impractical heels and air conditioning, and thats OK!
She and Aidan were simply not a good fit.
But for Aidan, it was just a fundamental character mismatch.
They tried, then tried again, and it did not work.
Have some self-respect, my man, and leave Carrie in the past.
Isnt that worse than an immature Post-it for a short-term relationship?
Berger and Carrie had something prickly and interesting and special.
He understood who she was, and he was on her level creatively.
Carrie isan incredibly successful writer who deserves someone who sees that in her.
Hopefully, Berger has grown into someone who could celebrate her without getting insecure.
They meet for drinks after, and he admits what a d*ck he was back then.
Were back in, baby!
Let the banter and Hollywood kisses flow again.
