03/23/21 Day Sixteen - Liking bad boys is not a good thing

Welcome to another day in Purgatory!



It occurs to me this morning that Lorelai Jr. likes assholes...because they're interesting.
Like, I know that she and Dean aren't going to last. Knew that from jump, actually. It's very apparent that Dean and she are mismatched (a fact that would have played out better if they'd written it that way in the beginning instead of the "Ooh, shiny" thing they did when Jess came to town.)



That being said, her eventual break up with Dean is fine. But I wish it wasn't going to be so much like her last breakup with Dean in that it's step one: Find worse guy ever, step two: dump the guy you're dating for him because the new guy's more interesting.



So, what are we, three or four episodes from them officially getting together and as if on cue, Lorelai Jr. is very clearly going to end up with the school asshole.  At least he's better written than Jess. So far anyway. I don't hate him.  I might mess around and approve of this relationship. The secret society episode made me feel like even I might give Logan a try.

Okay. Rant over.  Love you guys! :heart:

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's

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.
