"She's Jack Kerouac..." [Rory is in line at Comic Con]

NO ONE looks like they've aged!

i'm really looking forward to this; i need some twee feel-good tv in my life right now.

it looks like it will be great! best thanksgiving ever imo

sidebar: i tried listening to the Gilmore Guys podcast bc i heard it was v fun but it made me feel old & grumpy & i had to stop

:)

It makes me feel old and grumpy as well. Those young people wear their ignorance so proudly, and I really dislike podcasts (and companion shows like Talking Dead or whatever) that have guests on who have clearly watched this one episode and nothing else.

That said, their interview shows are great. I particularly enjoyed the one with Sam Phillips and Helen Pai, and the one with Jane Espenson.

Yeah I used Gilmore Guys to get a rewatch going last year and I did get my rewatch going but had to abandon the podcast. They harp on and on about how sympathetic the character motivations seem to them. I'm sure they're nice guys though, and yeah, it was nice to hear interviews with various members of cast and staff.

yeah they seem v chill and nice - i feel kinda bad!! but half the references go over their heads and i'm like "oh you adorable children pls shut up"

i will check out the interview episodes

'Okay, guys, you'll never believe this but I found out there's a singer who named himself after the Gilmores' dog. How cool is that!'

no you don't understand paul anka is the name of my canadian-american singer, songwriter, and actor

SPOILER

Lalala

We're all back in Stars Hollow but why

Oh I know it is because we haven't thrown another gala for RORY about how she is the greatest person

Luke is a bit of a lunkhead and Chris is back in town. ROMANTIC TENSION

Lala

RORY is also choosing between a posh one and a rough one, who both know she is the greatest person in the world, but instead she chooses dinner with her grandmother

It is time for the gala! RORY IS AMAZING say all the signs and everyone in Stars Hollow gives her all their hidden gold

Lalala exeunt pursued by a cutesy zinger

go peddle your Rory hate elsewhere, weirdo

<3

fuck u k3v i'm objectively right

i haven't heard great things but we are still probably gonna try and power through much of this starting tomorrow

i've onlg just started but giving this a serious review is so pointless, just relax let it wash over you like a bathtub full of snow & babble

ooo-ber

i like it mostly! but rory's condenastathon is so dumb... it reminds me of a story I wrote in sixth grade about being a model at a modelling agency

i'm halfway through and (pretending season 7 doesn't exist) i think the show has slightly lost its grip on the uh "wacky" dialogue but the drama is all super good i.e. i'm crying a lot

also kirk is perfect

also like, motherfucking kelly bishop and liza weil

Bad? Do you actually like this show? This was note perfect for pretty much the entire six hours. Considering it's a revival nine years on, it's even more impressive. Go look at the x files return to see bad.

tbf the x files was always bad

I'm currently battling my completionist impulses, which are reminding me that I never finished the seventh season and, oh hey, its also been a while since I watched the rest of the series, who knows what I've forgotten, maybe I should spend a hundred hours refreshing my memory first. But I can probably just jump right into this new thing, yes?

well, you'll miss the controversial episode where lorelai and rory set up their bounty hunting agency, stars hollow skip tracers, with help from special guest star dog the bounty hunter, and you won't know exactly how kirk came to have bionic legs, but you should be able to pick up the thread of the story if you pay close attention

I'm still hoping for Lorelei and Dog to end up together

yes all the things i loved about gilmores like... 20 minute musical theater sequences, or lorelai self-actualizing via chick lit bestseller. i appreciate how it embraced history's judgment of rory-as-monster but even that was drowned out by kirk chasing a pig in circles for half an hour like a family guy outtake.

the musical is just the worst possible expanded version of the town-oriented setpieces in the show. i'd prob like it more if we didn't see like....all of it

sutton foster tho!!! <3

and Tom from Smash!!

Special appearance by Ted Nugent in an instructive episode entitled Kill More Squirrels with the Gilmore Girls

there was a lot of Palladino fan service; sutton foster and the girl from bunheads...also the Ritter guy and Lauren Graham's brother but actual boyfriend from Parenthood / Six Feet Under. I liked all of that; it wasn't overbearing, it was clearly all there for fans, and it worked. The long musical? I thught it was funny at the town itself was always the third main character of the show so it makes sense to give the town a showcase like that. The pig? loved it. I don't know, I'd be hard pressed to think of any way these could have been better; less Logan and more Sookie I guess.

(sutton and tom from smash were married for a long time; I gather they're still close friends)

huh i didnt know that

that unbreakable song sutton foster sings made me cry all my tears

i am on ep 12 of s1

it is very watchable in the sense of "i can read and post to the internet while watching and still feel i am enjoying it" (which i am) despite lots of elements i feel i shd be annoyed abt (like rory's horrible school) plus some characters are kind of needlessly cartoony

i'm almost finished ep4

this was pretty much everything i wanted. it wasn't perfect & corny in places but it made me laugh and cry and crylaugh and laughcry & that's all I wanted

I never watched GG but picked up enough for the first two eps to be coherent, thinking maybe I should try the originals.

steely dan flashmob

waiting to watch this with the kids. i think this was the first show i put on with the kids and i kinda thought they would only last one episode and we ended up watching the entire series together and they loved it and i loved that they loved it. they were really young! they even got carole king's autograph on one of our DVD sets when she was in town for a political fundraiser.

i don't really have any expectations so i'm good with whatever. i'm not a big fan of reunions/revamps/reboots/revisionism in general. when i saw the band swans on their swans are dead tour i really believed them and was fine with their decision!

but i do love the characters so what the hell. i made do with parenthood. which i liked a lot.

you'll like the swans cameo in this then

j/k. this has three parenthood nods! ritter, krause, and mae whitman all have little cameos

yeah it's kinda nice!

i appreciated the BUNHEADS cameos

otm

not holding out hope for 4 bunhead minimovies from netflix since vegemitegrrl, maura, and myself were probably the only people who ever watched that show, but it would be cool anyway

okay, i like this a lot. forget what i said about being a reunion hater. i love seeing everyone and its funny and i loved this show and i still love them.

i couldn't watch bunhead cuz i didn't have cable and it was never on hulu/netflix. i totally would have watched it though.
