04/06/21 Day Twenty-Two - Jumpin' the shark

 Onward and upward.  :D


So, we’ve finally reached the jump-the-shark episode. (Checks watch) Yeah, that’s about accurate. 



Rory comes home (Yay!) Luke finds out he has a kid out of the blue (Hence, the ‘add a kid’ trope).  So, this is how Lukelai breaks up, I’m guessing. Or at least this stops the wedding that we all knew wasn’t going to happen. Oh, the drama.





Side note: Luke’s sister calling him “Yakov”. Like...I’m old as hell and I literally have not thought about Yakov Smirnoff since I was, maybe eleven or twelve years old. Wow, writers. I mean, you know there are about a dozen corny comedians between Yakov Smirnoff and Jeff Dunham that were way more popular. I mean, were Gallagher or Carrot Top too obscure? For those of us who know it, do we get a secret prize?



Anyway, so I appreciate the simmering pot of things that are about to explode in the next few episodes. Christopher paying for Yale, Emily and Richard losing their minds because Rory got some audacity, Luke and his secret kid. Oh, we shall be entertained.





And how I laughed at the “Ross and Rachel were on a break” revelation between Rory and Logan. (snort) 



(No, I haven’t seen “Friends, but I’ve seen enough “Friends” episode chunks to know that joke.)


I’m really disappointed that he’s not a serial killer or at least the guy who had girls spilling out of his closet every episode so Rory could be all like, “WhydoeshekeepdoingthisOMFGIlovehimsomuchwhydoesntheloveme.” That would have been nice. At least I would have hated him more than Jess. Who I still hate. Because he sucks. Still.

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...

  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.
