If you guys aren’t familiar with Carole King’s Tapestry album, you should check it out! So many classics and the theme song (in its original version) came from there. I’ve never really noticed this before but Emily and Richard haven’t been (or mentioned) in the whole rest of the episode so when out of the blue we suddenly see them discussing the symphony fundraiser it’s probably telegraphing that Rory’s about to show up there. I don’t make many excuses for Emily but I suspect a lot of grandparents would get high-handed in this situation and feel like they could equally tell their daughter and their granddaughter how to handle things. I do like the way she tells Rory that Lorelai was “concerned” without making Lorelai the bad guy at all. Of course the part where she gloated a little to Richard was less great.

Thank you! I will check the album out tonight! As for Emily, we always want to give her the benefit of the doubt because she isn't entirely to blame for her strained relationship with Lorelei, but she really did seem to be enjoying the fight between Lorelei and Rory a bit too much.

Lorelai is channeling Michael Bluth in attacking a high school student. Lorelai you are in your thirties!

I like that the JT poster is directly across from a beautiful impressionist painting of a lake.

Season finale next week! Love watching this with you guys ❤️

Kelly Bishop, who plays Emily, recently published her memoir entitled "The Third Gilmore Girl." I just finished it and really enjoyed it. She began as a dancer on Broadway, and originated the part of Sheila in the first production of "A Chorus Line" for which she won a Tony. Here's her acceptance speech from the 1976 Tony Awards (nearly 50 years ago!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVqBvvZNlnA&list=WL&index=5

One of the best parts of this show is that these are human beings, so they make bad choices and dumb mistakes. A lot of times we assume the characters should be moving towards some great goal or something, but in this show they make these small mistakes (break ups, bad conversations with Emily and Richard, whatever) and I love that. It's very human. They are the constructs of their own misery, which makes for GREAT drama

I think you nailed it right on the head. It's a very human show. It addresses things that I didn't know could be so compelling!

AND (dare I say it?) she won her Tony the same year Edward Herrmann (Richard) won his for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play. There's a precious beautiful photo of them side by side with their Tony <3

I was just enjoying her recording of “At the Ballet” from Chorus Line because I added it to an Instagram post of my toddler’s first ballet class (because that’s my sense of humor 🤣)

Fun Fact: Alexis Bledel's (Rory) first language is Spanish. Her dad is from Argentina and her mom was Mexican

I think Emily was being a bit self-centred in her conversation with Lorelai but I also think she had a point underneath that. By the time your child is 16, you kinda have to parent in a negotiating, consensual way. it is a bit too late in the child's life to force them to do stuff. So giving Rory the night does seem like the best option and, of course, Lorelai could have ignored that and gone to get Rory anyway but it wouldn't have ended well. Emily only sees this because it is advantageous to her in the moment, but it is still true. I also feel like Lorelai should know this better than she sometimes seems to, as a person who ran away at 16 and did not come back.

Well I gotta be the one to say, not to vilify or demonize, that Emily was right about giving Rory space that night, but ultimately a lot of self centered parents use their grandchildren as pawns then as well, to feel in control. We're all human, prone to err, and it's very unfortunate, but some people in the world, who are also unfortunately parents, develop defense mechanism defaults towards controlling and domineerance. And until they decide to figure out how to stop utilizing those, relationships will suffer. Plenty of sympathy and even empathy to go around for all struggles, but let's not forget that Richard and Emily don't think very highly of Lorelai in the first place, not just because of what she's done in the past, but how she's choosing to remain independent and out of the elitist circuit. They don't really actually even like her as a person, which doesn't bode well for a healthy and successful repair from past wrongs. It still won't matter what's she's done, or how far in the past it is, her lifestyle and choices are distasteful to them, no matter her successes. I could possibly be projecting lol, but I ultimately see this show as more of a glimpse into a particular experience, rather than a guide on how to resolve.
