You mentioned parallels, and I don't know if it was intentional. but the closing scene with Luke had him almost towering over Lorelei. It could have been a coincidence, because the staging always has them sit at his diner, but it really contrasted with the Rune of it all.

That's a good point (and I don't think staging is ever an accident if the director knows what he/she is doing). Rune was SO punchable.

rune was played by max perlich, who has definitely been in a million things over the years. off the top of my head . . . he was one of the kids in ben stein's econ class in ferris bueller, at least one episode of buffy, homicide: life on the streets starting in season 4 or 5, that beautiful girls movie with timothy hutton and natalie portman . . . his characters are sometimes sweet, but there's almost always an element of the annoying or obnoxious about them. rune, however, takes the cake.

A common I guess criticism of the show is often that “Lorelai wants to be a friend/cool mom and isn’t a parent” and that always annoys me because I actually think it’s really untrue, and this episode is a good example. Yeah she talks like she and Rory are best friends and jokes about Rory being the responsible one, but she isn’t at all afraid to pull the mom card when it’s appropriate. And like - Rory is at a completely appropriate age to have some responsibility for herself, and nothing about the show actually suggests that Lorelai neglected her when she was a young child? Annnnnyway . . . yeah I like the two moms stuff in this episode. Because Lorelai *is* a good mom who knows where her kid is. Also, she’s such a good friend to Sookie in this episode and I love how both she and Rory build her up.

For whatever reason Walmart stocks strawberry pop tarts wherever there is a hurricane approaching. No one seems to know exactly why, but people bulk buy strawberry poptarts specifically prepare for a disaster.

The Slyvia Plath book is foreshadowing for how the dates are about to go

Peter

Sookie has some intense dating anxiety...

Peter

Rune describes Lorelai like she is an elephant. Gigantic, big ears, huge feet, big nose...

Having worked in a restaurant, they would be the worst possible table.

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is excellent. It is also a really feminist film, largely about how men take advantage of women.

Peter

Mrs. Kim is just begging to get sued. Can't leave tripping hazards in the walkways.

Peter

The last season is the only one where Amy Sherman Palladino and her husband were fired from. She also made a big deal about knowing how the series would end. So, yeah, the reboot existed mostly to allow her to end the show with her creative vision.

I love how you both became "Team Todd" by the end of the episode! I also love that my Monday evenings consist of a usually emotional "West Wing" followed by a more lighthearted "Gilmore Girls" before bed. Perfect for my mental health. Joe, I grew up on a diet of cinnamon-sugar Pop-Tarts. Forty years later I tried one and could barely keep it down. I'm glad you haven't grown out of that childhood joy. And by the way, I HAD to look up that singer I'd never heard of, Claudine Longet, "the one who shot the skier". It turns out she was the first wife of singer Andy Williams, and after she divorced him she got involved with an Olympic skier named "Spider" Sabich. She did indeed shoot and kill him, though she claimed it was an accident. With her ex-husband's support, she was convicted only of negligent homicide and spent 30 days in jail. She later married her defense attorney, and they still live in Aspen where she shot the boyfriend. See? The things we can learn from watching TV.

I grew up in basically Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson town and have read very little of either...

My pop tart regular is the s’mores one. Works as breakfast or dessert. I have met the actor who played Rune. He was well cast.

Team Todd is a little overstated IMO. Guy isn't a dick but he's clearly not worthy of Lane. Microwaving pop-tarts is sacrilege to me. They are to be enjoyed either straight out of a toaster or cold in the morning on a platform after canoeing the Okefenokee swamp.

There's literally an article about my hometown being the lesbian capitol of the US, the town where Sylvia Plath went to college and neighboring the town where Emily Dickinson lived: https://www.reddit.com/r/northampton/comments/fy2yts/a_strange_town_where_men_arent_welcome_10000/ One of the people interviewed in this article was a volunteer for my youth group in the local Unitarian Universalist church. Bragging rights I guess, I grew up in the gayest and most liberal small town in the United States.

I've always interrupted it as Lane was interested in Todd, partly because she thought he was cute and partly because she thought he had similar music taste. Since she keeps bring up music and finds out that Todd has borrowed at least one band tee off his sister, I just assume he does that a lot and it lead to her thinking they had something in common.

After reading The Bell Jar in high school, I decided that I should change my name to Melancholy, as a joke. Teenaged angst.

okay, i know we're only halfway through season one, but i can't wait for you guys to see season 2 and 3, arguably the best seasons of the show

That's a good point. I didn't even think about the music connection. You live and you learn, hopefully both Lane and Todd can find their person!

season 1 is so special and intimate and cozy, but I feel like season 2 and 3 is quintessential Gilmore girls!
