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

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.
