I am pretty sure that Paris invents these weird school related excuses to go to Stars Hollow just to hang out. Because she can't just ask to hang out like a normal person

Emily would rather mourn the future Lorelai never wanted, than celebrate the person she actually is.

I also did not remember Rory being into Ayn Rand / The Fountainhead, it does seem a little out of character. Get her a copy of The Dispossessed.

I don't think Christopher was out of line to be angry and upset, I think his interpretation is valid. Sure his reaction was over the the top, likely because he still has deep feelings for Lorelai. Sherrie was a bit OTT, but not in a harmful way, more like one of those dogs that keeps jumping up into your face to say hello. I think it was all nervous energy (especially as there was a clock running).

The (to me) spiritual successor to Pallardino's Mrs Maisel that I mentioned previously is Hacks, which is currently midway through Season 4, still very high quality throughout. The premise is an aging stand-up comedienne who is going through the (Vegas billing) motions gets a fresh lease on life thanks to a new young writing partner. Seeing Deborah Vance as an older Midge Maisel came very easily! 🥰 But...I just realized that you guys already did S1! 🤪🤪 Did you stop because you didn't enjoy it, or because there was no Patreon interest?

I actually was totally on Christopher's side there at the end of the episode. So bit eye-opening to see you guys' reaction, and some of the other comments here. I agree that Lorelei didn't mean it like that, and what she said makes sense. But there really was no reason to verbalise it to him. That just puts it on him, IMHO. She could've just kept it to herself, or a simple "I'm proud of how you've gotten your act together." would've sufficed.

Although I do agree that Christopher totally over reacted to Lorelai's confession, I have to agree with him. She meant to say one thing but to Christopher it did sound like she was using him as an excuse to fail relationships. And it could sound a bit insensitive when you consider how Christopher has felt about Lorelai. It triggered him. Still can't stand him tho lol. Sheris spiel to Lore was super weird but I do think that Christopher had something to do with that. And poor Lane, I do feel for my girl. She deserves better. And Paris for President!

After sleeping on it, it was a really ugly situation with Christopher. I still think he overreacted regardless, but maybe Lorelai overshared there a tad; being "blunt and honest" can sometimes just be hurtful regardless of your intentions.

Yeah, it was probably an overshare by Lorelai. I completely believe her when she said she was fine and not trying to upset him (and I absolutely think he overreacted). Maybe it was a conversation that would have served everyone better if she just kept it to herself.

Isn't this such a great show? Before the episode you were discussing Dean and Jess and by the end you had completely forgotten that. Other shows would have made the whooooole season about the love triangle (specially with two really good looking actors as potential love interests)

I am the girliest of girls but-- Joe and Kevin, I swear to God if you guys don't stop ragging on Fountainhead & Atlas Shrugged when you have not even read the books -- Rand was a nutjob, sure, but Atlas Srrugged is not about rich people looking down on poor people and running away from them. It is about the inventors and the composers and the curious and the gifted who are beat down and gaslit and stolen from by the Trumps of the world. There is a Ted Cruz. There is a Marco Rubio.There is a Cheney and there is a Turtle. The bad characters in the books use poor people as an excuse to take the gifted's inventions and discoveries away from them. She created an entire MAGA scenario including having the less fortunate lose hope and parroting the bad guy's propaganda. These two books are just fun, melodramatic soap operas. Anyone who would take them seriously as some kind of playbook for civilization would be idiots. And yes, there are a lot of Rand idiots. But there are a lot of Hemingway drunkards, Salinger misanthropes and Neruda narcissists. rag on the artists all you want but don't hate on the art. Even if it's bad art. Rant concluded....
