5. fans of The Books: The Names, They Are a-Changin'
In the libros the pilot is based on, one of Carrie's best friends, Roberta Castells, is the one who instigates Carrie's thoughts about virginity and sex -- a topic that very clearly eludes to the parent series -- but tu won't find any Roberta on the CW version.
