Gilmore Girls

[skcin]

I am soooo upset with Luke. WHY didn't he just tell Lorelai? He just found out about the kid, it's not like he's known & kept it a secret or anything. The longer he waits, the worse it's going to be. I dread next week.

Lorelai's dress is fab, IMO. She had BETTER end up wearing it.

Logan? So hot, but such a dickhead.

I've only tried watching the Gilmore Girls once, so forgive me if I'm being sarcastic, but why does the Mom and the daughter talk....like...this...

They are both really monotone and talk...real...wierd... Or is it just me?

[skcin]

No, it's not you. Mark calls it "the fast talker show."

I love it, it's quick & witty & fun.

I seriously hate that they're doing this with Luke & Lorelai. It's so contrived. But I did actually love seeing Luke get all excited and astounded by seeing those pictures of April, and deciding to be a part of her life. I hate the storyline, but Scott Patterson is knocking it out of the park with it. I can't wait to see him try and relate to her.

A WTF thing for me is the casting of Sherilyn Fenn as April's mother. I've loved her since Twin Peaks days, but it still irritates me a little that they're reusing an actress for a completely different part. Sherilyn played Jess's stepmom on that crap episode Here Comes the Son from the third season when Jess went to find his father in California.

I love Lorelai's dress too. I think it's beautiful. I always thought they'd get married at the Dragonfly, it seems like nothing but logical to me.

I HATED Rory's scene crying to the psychologist. It was sooooo bad. The worst fake crying I've ever seen.

Good. I'm glad it wasn't just me then. I'll leave that show to you guys though - it's not my cup of tea.

This sounds like a good one to have missed. I was making burritos and talking to someone I met on Yahoo Personals. I heard some of it though. You're right Hayley, that part of the storyline is very contrived just to create drama with Luke and Lorelie. Omigod, that just gave me a flashback to GH!

What was Rory crying about?

Why does the word "burritos" crack me up? I guess I'm easily entertained.
Now GH I DO watch (as dumb as it is sometimes :rolleyes). I love Jason Morgan - he's hot. And Skye Quartermaine - she's hot too.

Oh, Rory had to go & see the Yale shrink in order to go back to school. She was running late, and Logan was waiting for her at her apartment. She told him to leave her alone, thanked him for having his sister break up with her for him, and said goodbye. Then hotterthanhell says "I tried to leave you alone, I didn't want the commitment thing, but I can't help it. I love you."

So she yells at him again & slams the door on him & he leaves. She gets to the shrink & he can barely ask her a question about why she left school - she busts out crying "He loves me? What the hell is that? Huh? Huh?"

I almost forgot - Mrs. Kim doing a shot with Lane? I thought I'd die.

I am perturbed. Everything is being ruined. And I hate it. Stupid Luke.

There is a Stevie connection with this show. Carole King sings the theme song, which she wrote, with her daughter Louise Goffin (who, for those who may not be aware, released her own version of If You Ever Did Believe years ago).

Yes. Leave it to us to figure that out.

New ep tonight - I think there's going to be a blowout with Emily & Richard.

The episode is titled Friday Night's Alright For Fighting. That alone gets me pumped.

I am ready for some serious dramatics between those four. It's going to be awesome.

There's been two Fleetwood Mac references on the show, both from Lane. In one episode, she was debating whether or not to date Zach, and called Rory to get her opinion on the whole band members dating thing, asking her to listen to Rilo Kiley songs, pre- and post- Jenny/Blake breakup, to see if she could tell a difference in quality, and mentioned the Mac in terms of band breakups. And once, the band was talking about their guilty pleasures, and Lane's was Fleetwood Mac.

I am pissed. My Tivo switched to C-SPAN of all things 12 minutes into GG. Words cannot describe how upset I was. I missed the whole friggin episode.

Please, update me people.

Here's the recaplet from TWoP:

Lorelai breaks it to Sookie that her wedding to Luke has been postponed. She decides, with Sookie's support, to delay the postponement, just for a while. Things are still not going too well between Luke and Lorelai, mostly because Luke is a big, clueless baby and Lorelai is too passive-aggressive to call him on it and instead just mopes around like this is all out of her control, hating every minute of it. Paris is truly, truly flipping out all over the Yale paper. The staff has had enough and organizes a revolt. Rory pulls the place together, with Logan's help, and they get the paper out. To celebrate, Logan and Rory kiss and stuff and, while I am barfing, get back together. The Grandparents find out about Christopher paying for Rory's tuition, and they are less than thrilled about it. Lorelai tries to convince Rory to reach out to them and try to patch things up. They go to the most outrageous Friday Night Dinner in Gilmore history -- an up and down, exhaustive evening of yelling, with a side of screaming, and a flambé of regret.

I liked the episode- so did they, average grades of A.

Paris went PSYCHOTIC, to the point of just silly unbelievability. It was ridiculous. Watching Rory in charge of the paper was fun- I have no doubt that in the next couple of weeks she will become the editor of the paper in place of Paris.

^ So how was the dinner fight?
