Another Beautiful Day in Purgatory

  Hey, so, real quick: Lorelai said, "Rosie O'Donnell plays a retarded woman" and my brain actually shut down for a second. Also, there was this: Oh, this show...

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 watch...

  Okay. Just did the Lukelai blow up at Emily and Richard's wedding. Heh. The Lorelai's are terrible people. So, the blow-up happens (which was entertaining) and Luke says give me some time to process the fact that you say there's nothing between you and Christopher, but then, why didn't you tell me you hung out those times if it's not a big deal. Lorelai Sr. instead of respecting his boundaries and giving him a second, word vomits all over him publicly and surprise, surprise, he pushes her away. But... Once again, this show has me feeling bad for Lorelai Sr. That phone call to him with her saying "I just need my best friend". And he came running because well, he might very well be the only decent person in Purgatory. There goes my cold black heart again. And Lorelai Jr.  OMFG. The boy tells her that he doesn't do the commitment thing. They make out and she's watching her phone like "WHY DOESN'T HE CALL ME???"  And then acting all lik...

So, wow, they really are writing Logan really well. He saves her at Emily and Richard's meat-markety slave auction thing. She ends up having a legit good time. Wow.  Why didn't they write Jess like this? Like...when the inevitable roofie/gang rape/let's try crack heroin cuz it'll be a fun thing or whatever happens with Logan, I'm really going to be heartbroken because they made the effort of humanizing the guy. At this moment, I actually like him. I would have liked to have had a chance to like Jess. Kind of upset at that.

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 appr...

Found my least favorite episode!  The one where Jackson beats Taylor in the Town Jerkman race. I don't think I like anything about this episode. I mean, they butchered my second favorite karaoke song, even.  But the next episode where Luke snaps on Dean...weird, a bit hypocritical, but oddly satisfying. Not sure why.

  So... 1) Love Luke and Lorelai Sr. as a couple. 2) Wondering how long it'll be before Lorelai Jr. dumps Dean AGAIN for the worst possible guy she can find. (Just got to the part where she met the three jerks in school and got into with the worst one. 200 dollars says that's the next boyfriend.) 3) A town hall meeting to discuss Luke and Lorelai Sr.'s relationship just strengthens my "Stars Hollow is Purgatory" theory.
