SATC question

Re: SATC question

Mr. Big" appears in the first episode as a very wealthy and mysterious man who accidentally meets Carrie on the streets of Manhattan. He has sex with Carrie. The nickname "Mr. Big" refers to his status as, "the next Donald Trump" and "major tycoon, major dreamboat, and majorly out of [Carrie's] league". When Carrie and Samantha bump into Mr. Big at a night club, Samantha tries to hit on Mr. Big, but he graciously declines. In the first few episodes, he and Carrie constantly bump into one other, until finally Carrie suggests the two of them should bump into one another on purpose. Mr. Big agrees and thus begins their on-and-off-again relationship.

Re: SATC question

I always thought it referred to his size, lol.

Re: SATC question

great explanation above, just wanted to add two things:

1) when Carrie first bumps into Big on the sidewalk- some things spill out of her purse, including some trojans! I guess it was a sign of things to come

2) supposedly Big's "real" name on the show is John

Re: SATC question

In the film he is "John James Preston"

Re: SATC question

In the last episode on TV Carrie's cell phone rings and it says "John" so we got his real name for the 1st time then

Re: SATC question

If you notice, thru out the show every time she goes to introduce him, they somehow get interupted or cut off... he's never really introduced to anyone by name.
