Another Beautiful Day in Purgatory

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 whic...

Only one episode this go around. I slept late. But what an episode.  First, Paris loses her mind on the paper and it almost doesn’t go out to print, leaving Rory to come in and save it...with the help of Logan. Let me pause for a second, here. You guys don’t like Logan and for the life of me I can NOT figure out why. Compared to the other boyfriends, he’s actually showing up. Like, SHOWING UP. Like, they miss their date and he comes and helps her get the paper out showing up. Y’all do know what Jess or Dean would have done in that same situation, right? Here’s a quick impression: Jess: Man, this is too crazy for me. Bump this noise.(leaves) Dean: Duuuh, what do I do? WHAT DO I DO? WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME? YOU’RE NOT THE SAME PERSON I FELL IN LOVE WITH! HULK SMASH! He better be a serial killer. And the passive-aggression theatre with Emily and Richard being mad at Rory’s audacity. Oh, and when it turned to aggression-aggression...wow. The jumping from subject to subject of EVERY p...

  OMG, the Logalai thing is still going on. Oooh, is he going to give her a stern talking to?  (clutches pearls) The very nerve of him. He’s such a bad boyfriend. That was sarcasm if you couldn’t tell. And wait, wait...did Paris just use the term “Ghetto ears” while describing the difference between gunshots and a car backfiring?  I’d like to be insulted, but, I, myself happen to have “Ghetto ears” so… Anyway, Logalai. Y’all know Logan isn’t the bad guy here...right? He needed a minute. And instead of confronting him right off and working it out with him, she took his sister at her word. She’s all WHY DIDN’T HE CALL ME?  I’m like, Girl, WHY TF DIDN’T YOU CALL HIM?? All I’m saying is that I’ll be damned if somebody ELSE is going to tell me I’m broken up with my girlfriend. Well...at least she’s getting therapy. I think. Shoot. They're never coming back to that, are they? They had that whole "OMG, therapy is the devil!" thing. What a missed opportunity to promote ment...

  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, Lu...

So another four-episode streak... First of all, the burn from Emily’s read on Mrs. Huntzberger, yo. I think I have blisters.  And when Mitchum Huntzberger showed up at the party and Rory’s having a heart attack.  (sigh) But evil bastard that he is, he’s basically right. Instead of that experience being Rory’s origin story, she let it derail her life. He didn’t say that, but he might as well had. Yeah. He’s an ass, but if she had any self-respect, well…*sigh* And Richard running to Lorelai about how they need to get her back in school. (laughs hysterically) The irony. But the whole thing with him lamenting about Rory. And Emily going “WE HAVEN’T FAILED UNLESS SHE’S PREGNANT” right in front of Lorelai. Maaaan. These people are a mess. And Rory’s 21st birthday...wait, wait...she was born on Halloween? She wasn’t born on Halloween before? Sorry. Sorry. Thinking too hard. Emily going, “We’re going to invite your ASIAN friend…Oh, she has a boyfriend?” like She’s Asian! How did she d...
