The ick factor - S6-E14

Other mistake: When the plastic surgeon is giving Samantha a breast exam, you can tell that he isn't really examining her breast. He is actually moving his hand in a circular motion in the air above her breast pretending to give her an exam, but is touching her hospital gown instead. (00:20:20)

Continuity mistake: When Carrie and Alek dance at McDonald's, the clerk puts down a french fries container and stares at them. Shot swaps to a wide angle of the couple continuing their dance moves in real time, though now the clerk is away, giving her back to the couple. She turns around, walks towards them again, but this time she places a burger on the tray. (00:19:09)

The ick factor - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: When Alek is ordering a burger, the way his hand is bent against his face differs between the front and back shots. After he says "Absolutely!" his hand is lowered, then it's raised again.

Other mistake: At Steve and Miranda's wedding, Charlotte is holding baby Brady, who looks younger than a year (around 8 months) and is using a pacifier. But in 2 episodes prior, they celebrated Brady's 1st birthday and the actor who played Brady looked way older than the Brady at the wedding. I know they cast different kids, but it seemed as if Brady aged backwards.

Samantha: There isn't enough wall space in New York City to hang all of my exes. Let me tell you, a lot of them were hung.

Twenty-something girls vs. thirty-something women - S2-E17

Question: I have a somewhat odd question for everyone that watches Sex and the city. I got into the show about 2 or 3 years after it started running but I remember watching the episode "Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women" which was the episode about Carrie and the girls going to the Hamptons and renting a house. Charlotte dates a younger guy that gives her crabs. There is commentary about comparing 20 year girls to 30 year old women and when I watched this episode originally I swear there was a different ending then what is what is shown now. I want to know if anyone else has seen this or am I absolutely insane. In the episode there is a girl that pukes on the beach - her friend holds her hair back and Carrie makes a commentary about "counting on 20 year old girls to hold your hair back." Later when Carrie sees Big with Natasha she runs to the beach and Miranda runs after her. Carrie throws up because she is upset and Miranda holds her hair back, but the version I saw changes the commentary/narration and says that you can "always count on a 30 something year old friend to hold your hair back." I haven't seen that version again. Has anyone else seen it or did I just dream this, because I swear I remember watching this when it first came out?

Answer: I'm a long-time fan of the show, having re-watched it many times, and I definitely remember slightly different dialogue at the end of that episode than what's on my DVD. I'm afraid I have no idea why this change might have been made or any other info, but you're not insane.
