I always liked the spring break episode. I want to know what happened to Madeline and Louise. gently caress the stupid life and death brigade steampunk montage nonsense for taking up potential M&L time.

I never got why they were at Chilton -- I was under the impression that the kids had to be hyper-smart to get in there, but I guess their parents just had to have cash.

That Logan steampunk scene appears to be an homage to the movie Across the Universe. It's the same cover of the song and they do the rooftop thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK_amxSmM70

They were fairly smart. Was admission to Chilton based on grades though? Surely it's more about having a lot of cash and the right connections. If it was some kind of genius school then I'm even more impressed that Rory became valedictorian. Although she did read Russian classics at the age of three according to Richard.

Halfway through Bunheads. I kind of wish there was more of everyone in town hating Michelle just to contrast all of Stars Hollow (...and everywhere else, really) constantly fawning over Rory and Lorelei all the time like they aren't two of the worst people to ever exist, but I guess that wouldn't be fair to her. Also, IMDB said Liza Weil was in it. Is she a chameleon and I haven't been able to identify her or is she only in a single episode or something?

Rewatching the first 7 seasons after A Year in the Life is really interesting. Mitchum was right, Rory doesn't have what it takes to be a reporter.

Gilmore Guys had quite a long discussion about this. It's 2016 and a wannabe journalist has multiple phones, including a flip phone, doesn't spend half her life on Twitter, and can't even prep for an interview. Also, they pointed out ASP doesn't seem to know the difference between a writer and a reporter. I was going to say she'd be a good editor, then I remembered she couldn't even work out distribution for a tiny local paper.

Don't get me wrong, s7 is bad, but more in that it's weird and all feels so different. Just imagine it as a fan tribute. Although my least favourite episodes are pretty much all in s6, it does have Friday Night's Alright For Fighting which is one of the best.

I actually really like the first half of season 6. As difficult as it is to watch the whole Lorelai/Rory rift, they told some good stories using the device, and it was the first appearance of the full reformed and totally adorable Jess Mariano. Everything goes downhill after April shows up (I have no problem with April herself, but that she's a lazy, lazy plot device set up to create walls between Lorelai and Luke when there's already plenty to be mined in their relationship with their insecurities) and the rest of the season is one nasty whirlwind of people not talking their problems out and not dealing with important poo poo with their loved ones.

Well we finished up everything yesterday and overall I don't think I would have watched the show after a couple episodes if my wife wasn't binging through it as fast as she was, the interesting part to me has been how awful some of the plot points and the characters are and how jarring that is against how it's all presented to the viewer. Some thoughts: - I was really hoping the beginning of season 7 was just Luke punching everyone in the face for 40 minutes, but at least Christopher felt the rage. - Speaking of Christopher, the blatant steps they took to make him the anti-Luke was hilariously bad: having a kid and wanting Lorelai to help, the bit about open communication, suddenly being rich - Christopher's kid situation is still the most insane thing on the show - Logan was kind of an rear end in a top hat, but was the best BF Rory ever had - Jess became a solid person as soon as he escaped the Gilmore women, but man he sucked at the beginning - Dean was great until the writers decided he had to be really dumb and horrible so they could move on to Jess - The show in general is loving awful at dismissing love interests - The whole Paul thing in the revival was played as a light hearted joke but it was one of the worst things Rory has done. - Rory being the worst whenever everything isn't literally handed to her was kind of funny in the original since she was so young, but in the revival it really felt like her character hasn't grown at all in 10 years and felt really off - WHY THE HELL DOES NO ONE TALK TO ANYONE IN THIS SHOW? So many problems could be solved if characters simply involved other people in their decision making process. I mean I know that's true pretty on much any show/life but good lord it's so horrible in this show.

Christopher is probably one of the worst written characters in the show, which is a shame cause the actor who plays him does a pretty decent job. He has 0 consistency over his actions, and seems to have no actual drive beyond doing what the women in his life tell him to do.

Keep in mind that the Exec. over Season 7 was a nutso guy who wrote a play about how much he wanted to gently caress Heidi Klum. Not a surprise that was bad. I think in the alternate AS-P universe, Season 7 wouldn't have been as bad, and Season 8 would've been a neat return to form where Rory is out of Yale, moves back to Stars Hollow, and gets with Jess (they said this would've happened somewhere I think). I liked Rory up until she really started to feel the influence from Logan in S6 and 7. She just turns so _awful_.

They weren't exclusive. I'm sure Rorie gave it up for Paul a few times. Also Rorie is terrible so of course she drinks. Does she even need to work? Grandpa probably left her a $10 million trust fund.

That poor Wookie. She probably made some snide comment about his boltcaster, ate $400 in room service, and hosed off while he was in the bathroom. Finished Bunheads. The last six or seven episodes really meander and then it's just... over? Like they started burning through their next season's worth of plots to fill an extended episode order that didn't pay off anyway.

Despite Lorelei being amazingly strong at 16 and letting him go and live his life, he still manages to be a total gently caress up. They obviously turned Sherry into a total monster who abandons her own child just to make him look better by comparison, even though it made no sense for the character. I really hope they aren't planning more GG. The revival was nice, but the last two seasons were a mess. Do we really need to see Jess pining over pregnant Rory? Or Logan dumping his fiancee because he knocked up an ex? And where the hell could they even go with Luke and Lorelei now?

I feel like I've had this conversation too many times with people: Rory having a child with Jess would be keeping family too close. That would make Lorelai the Aunt (by marriage) and Grandmother, Luke would be the non-blood Grandfather and Great Uncle, then if Lorelai a baby with Luke that entire situation would even more confusing: Rory the half sibling and Jess the cousin (and half brother-in-law?? ) and the two babies would be... I don't even know, my brain is starting to hurt. It's been a while since I watched, am I am not sure if the baby thing between Luke and Lorelai was squashed for good. I can't see the writing going in the double baby direction (or at least I hope not). That would make a pretty intense conflict though, Lorelai does want to do the surrogate but realizes the baby drama it would create if Rory and Jess did get together.... I think it has to be Logan's because it creates the most realistic conflict. Telling Logan makes the baby a Huntzberger and drags her back into that family's drama. Which apart from Logan, she clearly doesn't want and shows it during the surprise Mitchum visit. Logan is going to marry Odette even though he doesn't want to -- She asked him if he was really going to marry her, and his response was "That's the dynastic plan", implying that it is not of his choosing and the whole thing is set up. Going to her father and asking how he felt about being left out also makes more sense if it's Logan's. Why would she care if Paul knew or not? She can't even remember the guy, she probably doesn't even remember if she recently slept with him. If he even slept in her bed, how freaking rude do you have to be to tap dance in the kitchen next to someone sleeping. It would be weird for her to regard his feelings in any way after her past displays. Either way, she said her final goodbyes to Logan, so she could keep it to herself and not tell him and never see him again. I feel like I'm the only one surprised Rory never grew up. Growing up she worked hard in some aspects, but in others she did have things handed to her. Adult Rory walked into that interview with the crazy woman expecting the job to be handed over. The other she was asked what she's working on and her response "Well, I'm here. Hello!". She's doing nothing with all the time she has? She had a Headmaster from her prestigious high school school tell her to get her Masters and he's got a job waiting for her, and she shrugged it off. She whines she's broke when there's no way she burned through all that money from her trust fund. She is not interested in working for income, only working to be a known writer.

Is it even in question that the baby could be Jess's? There's like, nothing between Rory and Jess besides an easy camaraderie in the revival, until the longing look moment. It's Logan's if we subscribe to ASP's full circle theory, there's no other possibility.

I've talked to a lot of people who are diehard Jess fans and don't want any more episodes unless it's his. I just thought it was funny none of them sat down and thought about the family tree.

They could easily write it to be Jess', we don't have to see literally everything that happens. We didn't see her sleep with the wookie but we know she did. Having said that I'm pretty sure it would be Logan's if they do write more. It would very much parallel Lorelai's pregnancy - a kid fathered by a rich, privileged guy who loves her but can never really be what she wants/needs due to his family and his commitments etc. Who gives a gently caress about the family tree though, btw.
