03/11/21 Day Eleven - Tailgating at Yale

So today was the Yale game episode and

1) Richard's a fun drunk, I can dig it.



2) Lorelai Sr. really is an awful person BUT I like Digger and the way that whole date thing shook out.  I couldn't help thinking though "So the writers DO know how to write romantic wooing and playful banter and not make it weird and stalkery. Good for them!"



3) Oh, yeah, and Paris and the writer teacher guy making out. Heh. That was a nice twist.

05/12/21 Sprung on Spring

Recap... Rory’s writing a novel for a crazy British lady, she’s also still not-dating Logan (Oh, look, there’s Logan’s dad) and Lorelai is in therapy with her mom. And they’re holding a town meeting to plan for a Pride parade and I’m happy to report that there are very few gays in Purgatory. (I always knew it) Anyway, they can’t do it, because despite what certain people have been led to believe, there is a startlingly low number of homosexuals living in Stars Hollow. Also, Taylor commits a HIPAA violation and steals Lorelai’s guest list and finds there are B-movie actors in town and WE CAN’T HAVE THAT! Michel has a straight-up meltdown because of the B-listers. Lorelai talks to Luke about it, but Luke’s basically like F* that guy. Side note: Paul Anka’s still alive?? I'm not repeating myself, I mean the guy, not the dog. And also, the movie they watch on movie night...Eraserhead?? This really is Purgatory. But Kirk’s short film. Hysterical. Best thing I’ve seen so far. Anyway, Lor...

05/14/21 Have a Nice Trip, See You Next Fall

  So, it’s fall and Lorelai’s “doing Wild” and it’s just as stupid as you think it is.   Yeah...you know, "Wild"? Like the 2014 movie with Reese Witherspoon? It's a trend or something in Purgatory. Please don't ask me to explain it. Anyway, Rory starts seeing weird stuff around town and it turns out that the Life and Death Brigade are back!  Logan and his buds come through and they have a pretty awesome night that even this old curmudgeon thought was pretty cool. I mean, really.  I was very entertained. Side note: Luke now thinks Lorelai left to find herself and she could leave him because that makes sense. Hello, insecurity! Anyway, after the night of debauchery, Rory decides that the fun is over. It was very Wendy and Lost Boys. It was adorable. So, Rory signs off with Logan. Finally. It’s a good breakup. As hardcore Logalai as I am, this is a breakup that makes sense, mostly, so I have no objections. Meanwhile, Lorelai never actually goes hiking because she'...

01/25/21 - Day Damn One, Vivian. Day Damn One.

Jane the Virgin is complete. I laughed and bawled during the last episode. Intensely fabulous show.  This morning I started Gilmore Girls and I have thoughts:  1. Has Jared Padalecki ALWAYS had that voice? Like was he born sounding 40? It's weird and disorienting.  2. This show is very white privilege-y...but I don't hate it so far.  3. Not sure I like the Lorelais and their relationship, but it's starting to grow on me.   4. What is with all the coffee? I'm getting hyper-watching this thing.  Overall, I'm not hooked, but I'm willing to watch episode three, so that's progress. And I like the grandmother. I don't know why. I know I shouldn't, but I do. It's weird.
