| It was a short but sweet fifth season for Sex and the City, as HBO's resident comediennes found themselves affected by forces beyond their control--the pregnancies of both Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda). A truncated shooting schedule to accommodate the actresses forced this season to be reduced to a mere eight episodes, and indeed, you can tell both actresses are expecting. (Carrie's wardrobe became more outlandish and more concealing than usual.) Still, the actresses and creators forged ahead, creating a handful of episodes that if short in content were long on emotion and laughs. Whereas the fourth season found all four grappling with various relationships, the fifth season focused on the perils of being single, with a new intensity lacking in the previous sexcapades. Carrie and Miranda wrestled with their solitary lifestyles, albeit with new attachments--Miranda had new baby Brady and single motherhood, while Carrie found herself in the world of publishing as the author of a real-life book of her columns. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) wondered if she'd ever find another man, while Samantha (Kim Cattrall) finally got rid of the one that had been vexing her far too much, hotelier Richard (James Remar). If the season as a whole felt less than the sum of its parts, those parts were some of the best comedy in the show's history, from Samantha's anointment as the "Michiko Kakutani of vibrators" to Carrie's stressful, one-degree-from-fiasco book launch party. (And fear not, Chris Noth's Mr. Big does pop up now and again.) The season's climactic episode, "I Love a Charade," found all four at the straight wedding of a seemingly gay pal (Nathan Lane) and contemplating their future with a wry, bemused tone. It was one of the series' best episodes ever, equally touching and funny, and grounded the show in an emotional maturity that announced that after all their wild travails, these women had truly grown up. --Mark Englehart Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

....For the first time in years, Carrie is completely alone. Aidian broke off the engagement, Big moved to San Francisco, and she even learns Berger has a girlfriend. Sammantha takes Richard back, but learns that being without him is better than worrying about getting hurt again. And in one of her bravest efforts, she broke it off for good, saying, "I love you Richard... but I love me more." Miranda does her best to keep Steve away and learns the downside to being a single mother. Charlotte makes her divorce with Trey final and fails in an attempt to patch up the bad feelings with Bunny (Trey's mom).
But we notice soon that this is a season of change. All the girls' lives change in this season and you need to watch this season in order to understand where and how they got to where they are in season six. There is then a positive light at the end of the season, though. Carrie sets a date with Berger after realizing he left his girlfriend, Charlotte falls in love with her divorce lawyer Harry, Miranda realizes that Steve could actually be a "corre-shaker", and Sammantha is finally free from her dramatic experience with Richard. In the end, all the girls learned a very valuble and life-changing lesson: You need to stand on your own before you can build and experience something extrodanary.
