03/29/21 Day Nineteen - Clutch The Pearls, Rory's dating!



Okay, buckle your seatbelts. I watched four in a row this weekend.

Okay. Lukelai is back on thanks to Emily...which…



All I have to say is this - Emily isn’t to blame for them breaking up. Like, sure she’s the catalyst, but, real talk, Lorelai did that shit herself. If she had actually given Luke a second to breathe, everything actually would have worked out on its own.

But that being said, Emily and Richard are out of their damned minds. Emily had that smoke coming.



And Lorelai Jr.! (laughs in 1955)



She sees Logan is dating other people, goes on a date with Robert because, you know, dating. That’s what people do. They date. It’s normal.

Except everybody’s like WTH IS RORY DOING???


The only real annoying thing is Lorelai Jr. is now playing from a different playbook than Logan. She’s all - Hah, I’ll make him jealous! And he is jealous...because he’s clearly not the most well-adjusted fellow in the world, not because he wants to settle down.

I thought that girl was smart.

And then I watched the next couple of episodes and Lorelai Jr. gets drunk and ends up crying on the floor all "why doesn’t he like me??" I ask the writers, am I supposed to feel sorry for this girl cuz...I don’t.

 

And then, she has a rational moment and tells him, Yeah, this isn’t me bro and he flips out. Why? Because he ain’t wrapped too tight. I’m watching this whole Logan “Don’t dump me” scene and thinking GIRL RUN!



But if we learned anything from the whole Jesse/Dean love triangle thing, Lorelai Jr. seems to like textbook terrible guys, so, yeah.

You guys ever see that old Martin Lawrence movie, “A Thin Line Between Love and Hate”? A reader’s digest version goes something like, Boy meets girl. Girl tells boy, don’t mess with me, I’m not right in the head. Boy messes with girl. Girl literally almost murders boy.



I feel like that’s where we’re going with the whole Logalai Jr. thing.

BTW, we need to pitch a Tarantino costume party, ASAP.

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

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.
