04/09/21 Day Twenty-Five - Waiting for the Shoe to Drop

Hi Guys.  Having a good morning?  I'm on my second cup of coffee. I'm turning into a Lorelai.  Help!



Can we talk for a second about Paris finally cracking? I mean, I knew it would happen. I just didn’t think it’d begin with her in a cubicle bunker...or this soon for that matter. IF I watch the reunion show, I expect her to be in an institution after that incident where she climbed a water tower one fateful fall day on campus.




Ugh. This show is making me talk like them now.

Side note: Michel loves Lorelai. <3  His missing their coffee dates was sweet. Zydeco band, no. Did the writers watch that one scene in Steel Magnolias and say “Hey!  That’s what Zydeco sounds like!”  





Ooooh, and Rory moved in with Logan and OMG, Logan and Christopher are the same damned person. Why didn’t I see it before now?? I can’t get over how Freudian Rory’s romantic choices are. The only difference is that Logan appears to be slightly more responsible than Christopher which is really messed up when you think about it.





And CHRISTOPHER TOLD LORELAI TWO SECONDS AFTER TELLING RORY HE WOULDN’T!  God, he’s the worst. 


And the dinner with Lukelai and Emily and Richard, that was unexpected. Scaring them with insurance and fake paternity tests. That was actually almost loving.



And then, the Valentine’s day episode. Lukelai and Logalai at Martha’s Vineyard. 


Side note: Lorelai reading the bio on Martha’s vineyard and “Indians” and making fun of Gay Head Island with a “Ferry”.  (sigh) Jokes from 1985 are great.





Anyway, Luke, Luke, Luke...sigh. He’s what we call “Funny acting” in my family. No one wants to be the Funny acting guy at the cookout. Everybody will talk about you behind your back and you will not get invited back. But hey, he and Lorelai kind of came together in the end. Still waiting for the other shoe to drop though.





So, then the party’s over when Mitch Huntzberger shows up. Oh, my heart. How horrible. And things were going so well...




And of course, Emily and Richard put an announcement in the paper. Is anyone surprised? I’m not.

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.

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.
