Tell me what's happening on "Gilmore Girls" a.k.a. The "Gilmore Girls" thread.

this is hilarious

Just finished this, very satisfying. Paris is still the best.

Lorelai & Emily in therapy felt v classic GG to me also

idk why lorelai is hating on this charming musical

I remember people really disliking the April plotline, but I really enjoyed her scene in this series. Would like to see more April-Rory heart to hearts.

april makes much more sense as a college student

the april plotline is definitely one of the low points of the series, but imo it had nothing to do with the actress, and everything to do with the scenario being a stupid cliche deployed to transparently add "drama." The writers had luke hide it from lorelai for an extended period of time, it was ridiculous.

I agree that April's scene in this was good. With all the aforementioned nonsense in the past, they did a good job showing how the family dynamic would work a decade later. It made sense that she would idolize Rory and her nervousness and lack of a filter would add to Rory's building shame at how things are going.

oh yeah, life and death brigade scene was probably the stupidest part. like, these guys are in their 30's at this point. they're still doing this? Idle rich i guess.

also, this didn't really touch on what a shit Logan really is.

I understand that it was supposed to be a last hurrah/"goodbye to all that" moment for Rory, but it was hard for me to suspend disbelief that these jerks have no commitments that would prevent them from dropping everything to rampage all over a small Connecticut town. Obviously that's a quibble; I mainly just didn't want to see them at all. It's not like anyone was seriously wondering, "I wonder what's happened with Finn since 2007?"

yeah, fuck those stupid steampunk idiots

That cover of "What a little help from my friends" was pretty bad.

Now knowing those mythic "final four words," a bummer to think Amy S-P was going to end Season 7/the series with Rory being pregnant at 23-24.

the song part was like something out of Across The Universe

My Facebook friend who's a Wordsworth scholar is pretty upset that the Wordsworth quote on the grandfather's grave is attributed to Longfellow and there was no hilarious payoff.

Overhearing tt listening to the last episode - la la person's blithe strumming over graphic description of whale killing methods = the greatest sonic cognitive dissonance in TV history

"the song part was like something out of Across The Universe" that's where that cover version is from, apparently

la la person = Sam Phillips

"My Facebook friend who's a Wordsworth scholar is pretty upset that the Wordsworth quote on the grandfather's grave is attributed to Longfellow and there was no hilarious payoff."

haha, that is hysterical though; can't imagine that wasn't intentional

yeah i love that

about halfway through the first episode of the new shows and all i can pay attention to is luke's catastrophic hairpiece

when they shine direct light onto it in the last episode it looks made out of wood

it's like lego-man hair ffs

looking up this april person i realize that i never did watch any episodes from after they dumped amy sherman-whassername

April is from the Sherman-Palladino era, she appears halfway through season 6.

hazy

final few eps of S7 are def better than most of the sludgy leadup

^^ agree

i am glad I'm finally catching up on it

god, even when i was mad at them those new episodes put me in such a good mood and now i'm back in the terrible real world and i wanna go baaaaack

otm

i had this feeling today like i had this v exciting weekend that i wanted to tell ppl about but then I remembered it was just watching GG

god, even when i was mad at them those new episodes put me in such a good mood and now i'm back in the terrible real world and i wanna go baaaaack

Yeah, I saw some people complaining about the slightly fantastical nature of the end (and of the rampage of the rich losers), but the whole thing is a fantasy, why not embrace it? (Course, that didn't stop me wondering how Rory is flying back and forth to London all the time when she doesn't have any money.)

As someone who has watched the whole thing through several times, I did have a few issues. Stars Hollow does not have a pool. And Emily never mentioned Nantucket before in her life - they were a Martha's Vineyard family through and through.

I was v happy with Shonen Knife

Stars Hollow also doesn't have police? Or black people for that matter.

or crime or roadworks or leafblowers ... the list goes on

i'm guessing in the intervening nine years taylor lobbied for a pool and luke fought him on it for some reason and we just missed those wacky shenanigans

i'm down with that notion

taylor: "we need a pool in this town, pools convey a sense of class and make for a fine summer attraction."

luke: "pools convey a sense of urine. also i'm scared of pools. my father was a pool."

loooool

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” hails from the “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, and it shares some of that show’s rhythms and mannerisms. Quick and clever dialogue, yes, and also a main character who’s quite taken by her own impish brassiness. Rachel Brosnahan (“House of Cards”) stars as Miriam Maisel, a.k.a. Midge, living her nice-Jewish-girl Upper West Side dream in 1958. After her aspiring-stand-up husband turns out to be a dud both onstage and off, Midge discovers she’s actually the one with the comedy chops. The show operates at maximum archness, and while the period setting never feels truly real, the moments of emotional authenticity that do break through shine beautifully and brightly.

i guess they're showing the pilot on Amazon. but who knows if it will get picked up or not.

I just discovered that the Bracebridge Dinner is a real thing.

The beginning of season 7 is dark as fuk.

ASP's new show on Amazon (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) is excellent.
