• 1:30
  Speaker 1: just for ten weeks until they get the permanent crime.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: My mom had to have that. Yeah, you have to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: do it like three you go three times or something.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Ten weeks is a long time.

  Speaker 1: Ten weeks to make the thing. Yeah, but anyway, so
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: funny story, I did a I woke up after I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: got home. I crashed for a couple of hours, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I woke up and I was like, there was I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: don't want to gross anybody up, but there was. There's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: blood coming out of my mouth. So it's a streak
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of blood across my and then on my shoulder and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on my pillow. And I woke up and my assistant
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Elaine texted me and said, this cameo is expiring in
• 2:10

  Speaker 5: You please post it?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Can we please post it on Instagram? Please?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: No? I think it's I think that kind of thing

  Speaker 1: is tantamount to, like, you know, showing your junk on.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: You do not want that to fall into the wrong hands.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Wait, so that's not.
• 2:56

• 2:58
  Speaker 4: to them?
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Did they see it?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: They didn't get it. But but but Elaine got in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: touch with them and said, listen, we're going to get
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he has surgery, so can you give them an extension?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: They were cool enough to do that, And I made
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a good one today. I mean, I have this thing
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in my mouth. I sounds kind of funny, but but anyway,

• 4:05
  Speaker 1: different things out of the show. What I want out
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of the show is I like, I like my chuckles,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I like I like the laugh. For me, the power
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of the show is getting the great laughs. And I

• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Laught a couple. Yeah, yeah, I agree, you know.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And so I don't want to I don't want to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: rag on the show too bad, but I mean, I don't.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Get it out of the way so that we can
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: talk about the episode. Let's just address quickly the assault,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the cultural appropriation, so that we've we've addressed that at
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the top, so that as we talk about the episode,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: we maybe can talk about it without having to feel
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: cringey over this salt.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, luke bashing. That's actually battery. That's not assault.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It was I battered him.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It was not cool.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was super cursed. It was super cool. Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: let's recap. I mean, let's uh, let's synopsizepis.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, good call, Suzanne. You sure I'll do it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: This is season seven, episode two. That's what you get,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: folks from making whoopee. It aired on October third, two
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: thousand and six. Wanting to cheer Rory up and take
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: her mind off missing Logan. Lorelei turns her house into
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: an Asian themed wonderland, meanwhile repairing the damage to the diner.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Luke tells TJ about his breakup and insists on him
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: talking about it with Liz, and Luke returns from her
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: disastrous honeymoon with surprising news.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Now, who in a million years ever thought that they
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: would witness an episode of this very fine show where
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: one of the most beloved and funny and endearing characters
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: sits there and says, I hate sex. I hate sex.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I hate sex, and now I'm pregnant and I hate
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: sex even more than I hate sex. I hate hate sex,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: sex as awful as gross. I hate sex.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: It's never happening again.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It was like, what did the pharmacist give me post
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: surgery on my truth? Am I really witnessing this?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Did anybody else feel like the episode was so disjointed?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was my problem.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm a fan of this episode.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It had like a few moments where I'm like, I'm driving,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I like, I like my Gilmore girls, And then I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: was like, is this twelve different episodes?
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I think?
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Also, of course they made Lane pregnant like of course, right,
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, and she got pregnant in two days.
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: Lane's whole storyline throughout this entire series has just made
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: me so dumbfounded.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just it's never been what it could have been.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: You, it could have been so much more.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: No, I think what was truly odd about this episode
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: right away? You know. I I I pushed my theory
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: over the last few podcasts about how this show isn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: capable of such a heavy lift as to break up
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Look and Laurel. I. Right, I think it proved it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: at the top of this, you know, because it was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: as if Luke was going through something and he was
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: trying to gut it out and it was showing in
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: his behavior towards TJ. And thank god for TJ, because boy,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he provide some levity here. And then we cut to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Laurel I, who's sort of matter of factly going about
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: her life and she's got to get to work and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't really seem to be affecting her very much,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to the point where she's you know, pulls the the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Geisha gag and the home and with all the five
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars worth of Autremont from Asia, and it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was just like, what is happening here? And I know
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: there was a you know when they meet and Luke's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: try and play it cool. But if she isn't deep word,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: did you? But the thing is, did you guys feel
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that Laurel I was so deeply affected by the break up.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I thought the whole thing was so weird until the end.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Until the end, Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I thought the crosswalk scene was bizarre and the grocery
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: store bizarre, like shot bizarrely in weird locations we've never
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: seen before.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Like I also didn't feel like a Gilmore Girls grocery
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: store like that is Ralph's Los Angeles.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: It was Whole Foods in Bourbank, like.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Just clearly driving through Sherman Oaks just like I'm like, yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: driving scenes, there's like driving the truck close up, just
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: are we in Encino yet? Like I just like.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: I think for me, the disconnect is that the b
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: storyline with Lane just it shouldn't have been placed with
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: this a storyline.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I think that's what it is. Like if it was,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: it was, it's just different than the thing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Well, I agree, but I'm saying, if they want to
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: put it somewhere. It shouldn't have been with this Luke
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Lorelei storyline.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It should have been an A storyline too.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It's an afterthought, right, it's right, And it's so tone
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: for what the fans invested in, what they really want.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, if you're going to do this, try
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to do this heavy lift, then deal with it, deal
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with the relationship, deal with the fallout of it. There
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: was really very little of that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And if you're going to do this amazing like pregnancy reveal,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: do it better.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I agree with terror, don't do it at all.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: It didn't belong.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: The only the only part of the episode that I
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: even smiled at was the whole Kirk's diner.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: That was.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: And but that was such a small part of the episode.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: That was like the c storyline, Like.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: It was just so for me that it wasn't really
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: executed very well either, because Luke is dealing with this
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: his heavy heart and trying to get over it, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: then he comes over and he's doing light comedy with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Kirk and.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: It's unhinged about it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: He wasn't right.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It's like, let me grew up your paper.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Right if you're if you're going to provoke. It's like,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. What kind of a show is it?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: What is it is?
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: It is like Luke should have driven through his dining.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Well, can we talk about the beginning where look, it
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: was funny and also it was battery that Luke. So
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: we see, So this is why I got confused. You
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: start the episode with the recap of what happened, and
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you see him with the truck and she says, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: slept with Christopher, and then we open on him driving away,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: which was kind of a nice sort of like moments
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: later and we see him driving and driving and immediately
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you're like, I know where he is going. Knock knock,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: suck him in the in the face. I think about
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: David Suckcliffe probably got his full episode b for just
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: taking a punch. It's never in it again.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You know what that scene was. That was an ending
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: scene that wasn't a beginning. It was weird and also
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it was very odd that that scene happened. And then
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the theme song hits You're supposed to be happy, Yeah, that's.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: What I thought too.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if you guys agree or not.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: I didn't mind it because I just feel like Christopher
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: deserved that punch after like all that he's been through.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: But again, it should have been the end of episode
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: one of season seven, not straight into the theme song,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: because then I kept actually rewound it because I'm like,
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: where am I in this show?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And he also hate to say it because I want
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to say, oh, Luke wouldn't do that, but Luke maybe
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: kind of would.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Do that, Luke beating up on Dean in that one episode.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: So it wasn't really that surprising.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: I just feel like it was a long time coming
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: from everything that happened.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: It was like like he just was over I'd be
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: over it too.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: That being said, I wasn't totally just crazy about it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: It's like you go over to his house and just
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: punch him in the face, and like, really and truly,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: if anyone was to blame, it was just opened.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: The door between guys. Okay, that was appropriate, that's a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that's a guy thing. That means you have no respect.
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: For me, doesn't pay.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And we don't condone punching people in the.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Face between guys. If there's disrespect on that level.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: At Berkeley, we don't love punching.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get whacked. It was.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: It was funny TV moment too, like there was something
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: kind of amusing about it, but I agree it was
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it was placed in the wrong place.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: I did enjoy that Christopher just got knocked out and
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: took it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: He took it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: He's like, yep, did he fall or he kind of still.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Get closed the door. Now, how did you know where
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: he lives? I was trying to sort of process that
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: yellow page or white pages or like, did you actually
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: know where he lives? I don't know how Luke would
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: know where He's a good question, thank you, And he
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: knew his apartment number.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I had my trusty assistant Cato find out all right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: So then then it was weird because we go to
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the house and Lorelei's all cute and or cute outfit
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: kind of looking amazing, which I just don't think after
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: a breakup you're going to look that amazing. I think
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: you're gonna look like dog do but whatever, making the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: famous waffles, which then Rory put chocolate syrup and syrup on,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: which I was like, that sounds great.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of food this episode.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: There was, And then what kind of happens They talk
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: about how he is this where she says he doesn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: want me to come until December. Yeah, and she's super
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: disappointed about the summer trip that she doesn't get to
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: go to Asia, which you know leads to what happens, and.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: She sets that Lane is back from our honeymoon.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Right. So it was kind of a fine scene. It
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: was sort of getting us to a bunch of different
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: plot points. Nothing where I'm like, other than.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: That, I don't put chocolate syrup on it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Did she make homemade waffles or a go waffles?
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they were agos.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: I don't think he always takes the easy way out.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: Her is probably homemade.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm also noticing how much Rory Slash Alexis is older now.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Is anyone else noticing that she's not a kid anymore?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I noticed that multiple times throughout the episode, where almost
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Alexis looks like she looks now almost anyway.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I also thought it was I think it kind of
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: worked in the sense that, like she's home for college
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: and she feels like, oh, I didn't know I was
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: going to be here the whole time, Like she is
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: so much older than the last time she was living
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: in that town, so I didn't mind her like seeming older,
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: but I get what you're saying, Amy, like you kind
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: of just like have this realization like, oh, she's maybe anymore.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you really start to notice it. Okay, So then
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: we go to the diner and this was amusing. So
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: we so we get TJ which was kind of fun.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: You know, he's drinking the coffee. He's outside the window
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: with Luke, and then we we learned that Kirk's has opened,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and then Kirk's gonna sue you, which I was like, Kirk, what,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: like you're gonna sue him for dry crashing right into
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the diner and amusing and with the shirt, all the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: little details were like I just I just.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Want to say this and that's to be over serious.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But it was the only time that I saw Kirk
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: is kind of an opportunistic jerk.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting, true.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the guy can't run his business. He's just
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you know, broke up. It's like that would be the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: time for a Gilmore girl's character to come.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: To his aid, right, but he totally right.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Like do something like you know, I mean to open
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: up a look like you know what I'm saying. But
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it was just sort of like just a selfish thing
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: where he's got to he saw an opening in the marketplace.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It's it's just it was incongruous because it was two
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: different types of shows trying trying to fuse themselves together.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Especially because Kirk looks up to Luke so.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Much, right, and it's like, if if you're gonna break
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: these two up, deal with it, deal with it. Don't
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: try to do jokey jokes all.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: But we're getting right. We're not dealing with it. That's
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the thing. Like they barely deal with it. Yeah, they
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: don't deal with it, and they deal with it in
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: such a strange way. That said, I did love all
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the details, the no cell phone sign, the Kirk's just
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: like the mug. He's wearing the exact same shirt with
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the ball cap backwards. And somehow he has a liquor license, Like, wow,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't he serve alcohol?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: HETJ got a beer from Kirks. Yeah, see another odd,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: very odd detail. It was just strange.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: And all the town is there now. I did sort
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: of love the outdoor cafe vibe of Kirks, and the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: whole town is eating there and he's cooking up stuff
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: on the grill.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'd trust Kirk burgers.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he doesn't know. I'm sure he doesn't have
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the proper permittve.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: That might have been the strangest scene. That was the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: strangest scene.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I liked it. I think the sushi making
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and the discussion of like fried chicken, sushi, a meat loaf.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Again, that's another strange scene we go.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: To that megs We're at the Dragonfly. Sukis showing Laura
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: how to make sushi and she wants meatloafs sushi, fried chicken, sushi,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: peanut butter. I was just like, was it just me?
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Or like was there no setup?
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: That she's teaching her how to make sushi for no setup?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: We have no idea why.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I was later it took me so long to realize
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: why she was making sushi. I was like, what is
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: this scene for? I forgot about like the Asia trip, right.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Because I learned later. We learned later that they're doing
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it because she's going to serve it to Rory with
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the red hots or whatever at the Asia night. But like, okay,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: just making me gag.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: I rewound this scene because I thought I completely just
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: blacked out and missed what setup.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I'm like, why is she making sushi.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they were making it for the dragonfly Yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: and first me too. And then I'm like, why does
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Laura I care about this? She's got other things to
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: do then worry about how to make the sushi.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: And when they said fried chicken and meat love, I
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: was like, what is happening? But then we do get
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: sort of a serious moment and that Lauraai tells Suki
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I told Luke, and Suki's.
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: At like, why would you do that?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Would you? Okay, this is sort of like me going
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: off topic, but whatever, if you were Laura, would you
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: have told Luke.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: You did it? Was that necessary?
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: I think you have to otherwise? Yeah, down ten years
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: down the road, and it's going to be more damage
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: than if you did it right now.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: I mean we've already seen like all the damage that's
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: caused when they don't tell each other things right on
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: both sides. So you know, like, I don't know, I
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: don't see how she couldn't because it would it would
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: always be at least on her mind.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I guess I guess, like we
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: can all agree she kind of did the right thing
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: or the needed thing. Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: The timing, you know, when you tell somebody something like that. Agree,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I mean she really humiliated him. He was in the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: middle of his impassioned good clamp it. Let's move to
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Beverly speech.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Jud clamp the proposal, and she does say it was
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the worst moment of her life, which also was like, yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: then why did you even do it? Like not meaning
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: tell him, but why did you do that? Why did
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you go over to Christopher?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, weird, what a mess?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Totally Jesus So yeah, okay, So then Rory runs into
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Zach on the street and Zach had a weird hat
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and weird hair. Yeah, what was the hat?
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Like were they trying to cover up his hair or something?
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: My husband and both were like, why is he wearing
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: that hat? Can't brain conductors?
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: It was weird. And then we learned about Pedro's which
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that actually was sort of funny because I could totally
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: see that happening to Zach where he thinks he's getting
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: some ocean front room and it's really some weirdo's apartment.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: It's like the first Airbnb, like.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Totally was ahead of it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: Oh my god, you're so right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: So that was good. And then some guy's apartment Zach
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think Zach got a parasite. I think he
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: got Monazuma's revenge. Right, It's very different from a parasite.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Am I right?
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: A parasite?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: He did?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Like, so they both got it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, correct, But guess what I get it? She might have.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: She might have also at the water did so well.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: But so yeah, okay. So then Rory goes over and
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: we learned that the honeymoon sucked, right, okay, So we
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: sort of get the beginnings of it here, and we
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: kind of get like, well, I was sick, but now
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not sick, but then I am sick like that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: So we're starting to get like, oh.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Right, we have Brian in that giant sombrero.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I know, I said, there's a lot of sort of
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: weird cultural things in the second that I'm just like,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to just let it go for the sake
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: of the conversation. He's playing video games or something.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: Does he still live there? I guess he does?
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah he does.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, So then we go back to the diner and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: TJ wants Luve to put up a stained glass window.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: M hm, super chair.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Was putting his head back because he fell asleep.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: I saw the escaping.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Ever you guys almost, So.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: DJ realizes that Luke's kind of been a mood and
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: then he talks about Lis being so horny during the pregnancy,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: which it's if.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: I was a brother, you know, that does happen to people,
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: but like for me, I was just like absolutely on
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: the level of never. I don't know how people get
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: like that during pregnancy.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: But also who's telling their person like their's I know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: it's so brother.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: So I also like Luke is so just patient in
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: this episode, like he's just like all right, like you're
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: gonna tell me, all right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Wait tell you how patient he was for the tunic
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: cast role, which I call castle. I guess she called
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: it a tuna loaf. Also, oh god, and I just
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: felt like that's been sitting in that oven for how long?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: How not food safe is this now? Because we'll get
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to that though, right. So now we're at the gazebo
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: and we learned about the horrible sex it's yeah, And
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: first of all, who's having sex for the first time
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: on the beach?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh god?
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: My favorite part is how Lane was like, I mean,
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: now I know it's horrible, and Rory's.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Like, uh, like it's not.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she Lura is being really respectful about it, but
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: like the conversation was just weird, Like I could not
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: imagine having that conversation. Also, the timing of all this
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: is just like so like how long was the honeymoon?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I know, I know you're trying to do the timing
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: because it just really beat meant already because they'd have
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: to have been gone a month.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Exactly, it's been two days.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I thought it's been two weeks. Yeah, week honeymoon, but
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: maybe it was a month long honeymoon.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe day one.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: That was day one, and then it's day one ish.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I mean she'd barely get a pregnancy test that would work, yeah,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: literally barely.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: And it's also like we're I know that pregnancy tests
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: now are a lot more accurate, but like.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Two thousand what year was this two thousand and six?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Like my sort of flag on it is that we're
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: they're talking about sex, right, but in gilmore Land. So
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: it's like you can only talk about sex and gilmore
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Land kind of like PG. Maybe PG. Thirteen. When in
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: actuality you're having this conversation with your best friend, you're
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: gonna have it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Way more, do you know what I mean?
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Are you saying, yeah, you're gonna have way more conversation.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: It was like the high school version and totally of
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: this conversation and they're like twenty one two.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like I should have should leave the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: room when they were I got up and left the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: room because I didn't feel it was appropriate that I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: was listening.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: To them two young girls that are basically like your daughter,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and you're just like yeah, And I was like, if
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do it, let's do it at Carrie Bradshaw
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and Samantha style. But instead we were doing.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: It very tog.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: I thought it was drawn out way too long. I
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: thought that whole scene was way too long. Right, They
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: could have made it half as long and still gotten
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: the same message across.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably would have been better.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know those messages we got like you're beating
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a dead horse kind of thing, that's what they were
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: doing on this episode.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Well, then we get to yes, I mean I agree.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: The whole episode felt like that. Oh, the whole episode
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: felt so like weird and disjoyt and like I'm liking
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: it and not at the exact same time, I'm like,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: how is this possible?
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Also, my other question was does Zach feel the same way.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's such a great question.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: She's like, I'm open to sexless marriage. I'm like, what
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: does your husband think about this?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And does she think it waiting so long?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she just to wait twenty years.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: And that's actually something that would love to ask his character.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: M hm, because does that mean they never so say
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: they were gone for a month, which were to believe? Right?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: So they have sex day one, right, you know, they
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: get to Mexico sex day one, and they're on this
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: month long honeymoon and paid at Pedro's gross apartment and
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: they never have sex again. And then she comes home
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and two days later she's pregnant. Like they're off to
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: a great start.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like an episode of the Bachelor or something.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So then we have sort of the stock the stuff
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: of dreams, right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: They're in the fantasy suite.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Then this was awkward for me. So we finally have
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: this moment where Luke and Lorelai are reunited in the crosswalk,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: a crosswalk I don't know that I've ever seen before.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: She's carrying all the groceries. They're quite distant, like it
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: was so like they spotted each other from across I
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: don't know where we're supposed to be, like this is
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: so dramatic, but instead it was just weird. And then
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: they're crossing and kind of keep crossing, talking awkwardly. I
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: didn't love it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it wasn't like this the first time. I wanted
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: them to see each other after the breakoup, Like it
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: was almost like too casual. They both were just like, well, hey,
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: well you're the one that proposed in the first like,
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, I punched Christopher your boyfriend. I punched your boyfriend.
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: You know, it's like just it was just weird.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Point these characters are destroyed. It's hard to relate to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: them anymore. It's hard to like them anymore. And you know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: they're not saying anything that's remotely recognizable for six previous seasons,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and it's it's just awkward. Everything is awkward, And.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that was my problem with the episode,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: is that, like I'm still pulling for Luke and Lorely,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: like I still think that deep down they still love
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: each other, but then this episode is there, it's just awkward.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: They're just acting weird and it's all disjointed, and I
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: didn't know if maybe that was intentional. They wanted us
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: to feel weird and awkward because the characters are feeling
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: weird and awkward trying to figure out how there's I
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: don't know, but the whole thing just was like, I
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: don't think I need to see this episode again. Yeah,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I don't usually watch this one.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: The question, I think the question really is do you
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: think that Luke and Laurel I, given this, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the weight they bring to the show over the years,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: do you think they deserved an episode or two or
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: three where you really had to deal with this breakup
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Andre that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I would have preferred that we get a glimpse of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: it at the end of this episode. And I sort
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: of was like, Okay, now I'm in I.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Think the fans the fans are getting short change period. Again.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed this relationship.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Liz, I thought. Liz, which we'll get to, had some
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: really astute comments and she really said to her brother,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: well that wasn't normal what you did, and that was
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: some good meat. And I thought, oh, okay, well, okay,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: well we'll keep going because we can break that down.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: So then this is where we have the scene where
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: TJ and Luker, you know, fixing the window and TJ's
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: got his beer and he's got four tickets to the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: hawk Ats And this is where Luke finally tells him
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: that hug. They broke up in the hug and then
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: he says, you got to come over for dinner, which okay,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: good good.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I thought that was sweet, Like, yeah, yeah, TJ saved
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: this episode for me, saved the episode for me. They
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: made it enjoyable.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I agree, because when we get to it, I mean,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: we've got one more scene before it, but I really
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the scene with the three of you. So right
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: before that, we get Rory at the house with Lorlai
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: and this is the whole we've transported ourselves to Asia
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and we've got which was quite extravagant in the kimono.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: And did you find that it was one of the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: strangest moments on the show for her to go to
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: those lengths to do that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like she would do that. Yeah, is
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: this where they ate the hot sushi?
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: It maybe feels out of place at this age in
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: this season.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I think if it was like.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: Three seasons earlier, maybe, but it's just been Also.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: She's heartbroken, so was awkward for me that she's doing
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: this when she should just be in bed crime.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I thought of it as light escape.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: She doesn't want to think about it, so she's gonna
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: throw this extravagant night with Rory so she doesn't have
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: to sit in bed and think about it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: She made a Tutsi roll, marshmallow twizzer roll, sushi, a
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: butterfinger junior mint chocolate chip, jujubie roll on an oreo
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: red hot shashimi, and were they wrapped in the traditional seaweed?
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Who?
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Then this has a moment where we hear the message,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: which I was like, okay, now we're now, I'm now,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I'm in and we hear Christopher leave the message and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Rory's reaction, which what did you all think of her reaction?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Well, let's let's talk first about his intention. Why did
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: he leave that message? He knew that Rory probably might
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: hear it. There's a chance she could hear it. Why
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: would he These characters are acting like.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Why why wouldn't he just call her cell phone?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I just you know, leaving that message with all the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: detail on it. And Luke punched me, and you know
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: we had nookie and I want to have more and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: call me. Let's discuss because you know I have a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: broken nose from your boyfriend who you just dumbed. But
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: we had nookie, So call me and gosh, I hope
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: alexis is Rory isn't listening. I mean it was just
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: it was just such a Again, I don't understand. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: don't get it. Do you think it was intentional that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: he did that? Or was? I think I think sho
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: he's so in his own world that he just doesn't care.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I like hearing you tell it that being said, I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, he would call, he leaves messages there.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: He I wasn't. I sort of.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Rory doesn't live there full times.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: That's how I took it, Like, you know, he didn't
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: know that she'd be there, so I actually didn't think
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: of it that way.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he saw that she was in your in
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: your not Europe Asia.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: But he's her dad. Who still believe?
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Do you leave something like that on a on an
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: answering machine?
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well he's not that bright right there?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: You think.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: The Ry herself said, he's never not stupid.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: What do you all think of Rory's reaction?
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: I I actually like I liked it. I was like, finally, like,
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't always agree with things that Rory says.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: But I think in this moment, it's like Suki wasn't
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: going to snap Laura, I had of it, so and
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: her mom like, we haven't seen Emily and Richard, and
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: usually Emily's the one who's, you know, saying some things
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: are actually kind of true.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: So Rory stepped up and she's like, what are you doing?
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: And you know, it just shows you that Rory really
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: respects Luke over her dad. And I think that was
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: a really important scene because of Rory's relationship with Luke
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: M hm.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: And also I thought it was a point well taken
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: when she says, things are so good with me and
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: my dad, why would you do this?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: And it is you know, it's true sort of a.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's true because Rory always gets so flustered when
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: her dad brings her mom down, and so doing that.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: She knows Christopher is always bad news. So what the
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: heck were you thinking? I can kind of see both
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: sides though, because Rory has made some questionable decisions too,
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: so it was a little there was an element of,
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: you know, the pot calling the kettle black, but I
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: think she could have shown Loralai a little more grace.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: But then she kind of for me, she kind of
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: redeemed that at the end of the episode when she
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: came back and.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we did need somebody in Lorali circle to do that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Though yeah, you said we don't have Emily. Suki was
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: just kind of like, oh, don't tell Luke, you know,
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: kind of shrugged it, not shrugged it off, but pretending
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: it didn't happened. We needed somebody to call it for
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: what it is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: And I actually, for me, I don't know, it's always
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: a little cringey when the daughter and the mother have
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: conversations about who the mother's sleeping with. I don't know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I'm always like, oh god, that being said, I think
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: she's older that Laura. I would sleep with Christopher. She's
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: not going to go sleep with somebody else, you know
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: what I mean. So it's like it's Suki. Like say
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: it was Suki having the conversation, or even Babbett, it
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: would be like, oh, honey, you always go back to him,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: and you can't really have that with the daughters. But
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I still thought it was an interesting sort of plot
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: point and.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: Kind of like, yeah, I mean, right, she could have
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: chosen to not have sex with anyone she could have
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: chosen to eat ice cream or something like Christopher's not
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: always the answer to the problem when you don't feel well.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's also like that that episode when.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know how Lorlai phrased it, but it's when
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: she broke up with Dean, Oh, wallow, She's like, you
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: have to wallow. I think it was kind of like
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: a callback to that where it's like you told me,
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: if I'm having a breakup, I need to sit and wallow,
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: And it's exactly what she's not doing well.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: And she's also doing with what Logan did, which when
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Logan and Rory had their break he went out and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: started sleeping with eighteen bridesmaids. But you get My point
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: is like true, wallowing would have been the better move. Yeah.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: I thought Luke had a really good point in that
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: scene where they were breaking up and he was and
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: he had he said, I'm also in this relationship and
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: I'm not letting it. I'm not giving it up, you know,
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: And I don't know. I thought he had a point
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: there because it's true.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I what was interesting for me, Luke's a character
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: probably has greater impact as a stable force for Rory
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: over the years, and he does as a relationship with LORELEI. Yeah,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that's when I got out of this scene between mother
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and daughter and daughter reprimanding mother. It's like, why didn't
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: you consider me and my relationship with Luke? How this
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: is going to affect me and my relationship with my
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: real dad.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Well, and her relationship with Luke has always been stable,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it actually is more
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: stable than Laureli's relationship with Luke. Over the years, they've
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: had other breakups, whereas Rory and Luke have always had
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: a constant.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: All right, I mean that's really the loss, isn't it.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: It's like, now Rory's cut off somewhat from Luke.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just I was about to say that
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: in the sense that like they needed to take all
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: that into account when they started dating, which I think
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: they did, and then everything's just in the bucket. I
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: don't know how to say it any other way. It's
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: like it's all just a mess. Well, then we go
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: to Lane's apartment and Lane's on the floor and oh
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: she's pregnant, and she freaks out and Rory's kind of
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: talking her down.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: I don't hate the idea of Lane being pregnant.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: But oh, I'm sorry skipped a scene. I'm sorry because
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: we talked about it briefly. I skipped the scene where
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: you're having the white Russians. So you go over to
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: the to Liz's and you start to have the drinks.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: And this is where I do like Liz a lot.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: She asked if it was Anna, and Luke doesn't want
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: to talk about it, but that that's the beginning of
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: very important stuff to come.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Jello.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, we haven't gotten to that yet, but we
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: can talk about should we talk about why we just
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: talk about the whole dinner. Let's just talk about the
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: whole dinner because the scenes are separated, but they're so important.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Susanne.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: I was just going to say, talking about things that
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: are awkward and unexpected. Who would ever have thought that
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: Liz would be the voice of reason.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I know, and yet she fully was. And also I
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: guess the one thing is she can totally call out
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: her brother, right, yes she does, and she was she
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that I totally agree with
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: everything she said, but she finally did call out like
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: that was weird that you didn't just include Lorlai with
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: April right, and that she was pretty quick to say
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: was it Anna, which it kind of was Anna, even
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: though everyone's like, no, it's not Anna in the sense
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: that he loves Anna. But Anna laid apart into pushing
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: the Luke and Lorelaia apart.
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: I think she planted it in Laura Lai's head that
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: she's not married, Like we like, Laura knew she wasn't married,
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: but like create it an issue.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: But she's less than because they're not married. Yeah, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: then we get the gross tuna loaf? Is that good? Tunas?
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: It was a tuna loaf?
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: She said, a loaf, yeah, and it.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Was not in a castle role dish. It was like
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: on a cookie sheet.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: All meat that it was like a shaped thing.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: And wouldn't you know the oven's broken?
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: But I was gonna say, how did she check it
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: like three times and not notice it was hot until
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: the lost time?
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: And it does set us up to get Luke to
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the store, which we'll talk about.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: But I did like for else.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I did like that Luke had family support in
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: this episode.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Never seen.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen Lizen TJ before, but not in
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: this this way.
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: He's always been the support so like, I appreciate he
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: has it this time.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, We've got more to talk about there that. But
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: also I want to talk about the scene with Rory
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: and Lane. This is a hot take, but I'm just
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: going to say it. Did anyone get the vibe for
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: a moment there that Lane might be considering other options?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: M h, I did do That's it made me very uncomfortable.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, like I thought, okay, they're sort
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: of going to have this deep conversation and then it
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: just pivoted. But I don't know if that was intentional.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Did you guys? Do you know what I'm talking about?
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: She sort of said, this show is going listen, this
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: show overall over the last I don't know, five or
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: six episodes, end of season six, beginning season seven is
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: going into territory that it doesn't normally occupy and doesn't
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: necessarily do very well.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, your points taken, and that it's like they started
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: to go there where I thought they were gonna have
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: a deep conversation about her options and then who that
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: just went away.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't think of it.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah I didn't either, But I mean I can see wat.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: You Yeah, I think I think just overall like what
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: I gathered from that, Elaine is just super bummed. Like
• 43:25
  Speaker 7: she went on honeymoon, it wasn't amazing, she had sex
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: for the first time, it wasn't amazing, And now she's pregnant.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: I think she's just I.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Mean, let me ask you, let me ask you something.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Was that supposed to be funny that scene? Yeah, I
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. Was that supposed to be funny? What were
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: they going for there? What was the point of it?
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: I took it as someone who's just been sheltered her
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: entire life, and like she's never had that conversation with
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: her mom or even in season one if you remember,
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: like Lane was just weird around guys, and Rory was
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: awkward too, but Lane was just like a different you know,
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: like she didn't really know how to like talk to guys.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: So I just thought of it as like Lane never
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: grew up.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: But that's just.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: How I m.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she's like not I get what you're saying, but
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: she's put in the situation where she is grown up. Like,
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: you know, she she is married. You know, she seems
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: a little.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Too to be married, too young to have a kid,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: too young for all of this.
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like she wakes up.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: The diner and has a band that cruises around in
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: a broke van.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: She hasn't really had much opportunity to be independent yet,
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: like she's going from her mom's house to being married
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: to being a mother, Like she never gets a chance
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: to like do her thing.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: I think I just expected more from Lane. Not that
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: not that it's bad that she got married or pregnant,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: but like she doesn't really have a purpose quite yet.
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: And maybe, yeah, her storyline is just so jumbled, like
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: she works at the diner here and there, she sometimes
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: has some music shows, sometimes has band practice.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: And she's pregnant.
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: I don't know, it's just her storyline just yeah kills me.
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: It's also with someone like Rory, who's always had like,
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: you know, interesting relationships and back and forth you usually
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: have like in these shows, like the friend who has
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: their together as a guess, but in this sense, both
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: of them don't, and so they're kind of just like
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: figuring it out together.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's mature sometimes and very immature sometimes. I guess
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: that's what I would say.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, so then this episode is such a
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: train wreck for me because everyone miserable except for Kirk.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Unhappy and when he shouldn't when he shouldn't be right right.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it's so messy. The whole thing's disjointed is
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: a better word. But then we go to the Ralphs,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: which was so weird because it didn't even look Gilmoury.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: It was just we're clearly like on a handheld camera
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: and Ralphs, like you has.
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: Like cut little Dozies market where all the produce is like,
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: you know, it looks like a tiny, tiny trader Joe's.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: They acknowledge it too, so like she even says like, oh,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: my attempt to avoid you at Dosies didn't work, And
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, I'm at this grocery store because I've
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: been at Lizon TJ's on the other side of town,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: and it's just like.
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: What Dozy's on the back lot was booked that day,
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: literally booked.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Isn't TJ also live in stars Hollow? Now they do,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: like they bought a place. We know this, so why
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: would we not just shoot this scene at Dozi's. It's
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: so weird. It's so weird and weird.
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: We've never in seven seasons seen any other grocery store,
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: Like it's apparently really far away to go.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Literally, I think Lorli drove thirty miles to that grocery
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: store because where is the Ralphs? Like by Ryan target too?
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Like what it was so weird and it was like
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: that person like they definitely shot that in a grocery store,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: which I also don't understand, like that is lighting is
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: not allow at all.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: Which maybe I mean, maybe that was intentional to add
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: to the feeling of disconnectedness. It was like, let's put
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: them in a completely different place that we've never ever
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: seen before and really throw everyone off their axes.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Where are the town busy bodies? Where's Taylor? Where's that?
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Where's miss Patty? Yeah, chiming being involved in the breakup
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: of Luke and Laurel, e all the ramifications. I mean,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: this is such a missed opportunity. It's kind of shocking. Really,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: Even a missed opportunity. It's just not the show, you know,
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: like your show.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: It's just this is a different show we're watching. It's
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: like a whole different show we're watching with these characters
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: we don't really recognize, but we know they're bela missing.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense with how they're behaving.
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: Now, Yeah, I.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: Thought that the the whole Kirks thing was the perfect
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: opportunity that they could have had, you know, Gypsy or
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: Miss Patty or somebody you know having their coffee at
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Kirk's because Luke's is gone now, But they just have
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: like generic.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: I was I was looking for, like bebetter, someone who's
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: gone listen in and ask Luke like how you doing
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: or you know something? But we didn't even get that.
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but the way the way in a small town,
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: the way they tee up a lot of these things,
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: and especially this relationship, they didn't tee it up for
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: the breakup.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: It's not affecting the town in any real way.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: It's right.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: The way.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: And before they trained the audience for six seasons to
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: count on this relation, to want this relationship, to really
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: root for it, and then when it happens, this big celebration,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: and it's they're breathless waiting for Luke and Laura to
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: get together, and now that they're not together, it's like
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's really talking about it.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: I actually wouldn't mind if, like she drove to Emily
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: and Richard's house totally.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: I just was about to say that, why why are
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: we not doing that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: Or like, I just feel like they should even though
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: like they've always been critical of Laura I and her relationships.
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: I just felt like we needed them in this moment
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: and we don't have that.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Well, why didn't she take Rory and out of town?
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: We've seen like I know we've done that before, but
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: it's like kind of did that with the Max break up.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: But it's just like, I don't know, nothing tracked. And
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: I have to say, I think one of the things
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: that was so awkward for me was how happy she
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: was in Asia. Do you know what I mean? Doing
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: the Asian She's smiling and putting this. It just I
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: was like, what candy and watch movies?
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: But like I also just thought like, why don't they
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: go on a trip together? Like was that addressed at all?
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Five seas pick your choice?
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, back to season three? Oh my god.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Anyway, So then we do have a scene that was
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: sort of felt gilmoury and poignant is that she goes in,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Rory gets comes home, and lower lie there finally you know, crying.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I felt like just to go back one step.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: At the in the grocery store scene, she looked like
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: she wanted to talk about it more like she she
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: looked like she wanted to maybe have more of a discussion,
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: but he kept putting up that wall, like you go
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: be with Christopher, you know, you know you shouldn't be
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: with me, And I don't know. I just felt like
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: she wanted to have more of a conversation there.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's gutted, he's done. He's hurt so deeply.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, she slept with it a.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Guy, and he's just so like, I'm fine, We'll be fine.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I'm angry now, but I'll be fine.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: He's watching out because he was hurt.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very luke like though, that's how he would be.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I'm fine. I don't want to talk about it.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Let's write this puppy. What are we What are we
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: giving it? What's the measuring stick?
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Who wants to go first?
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: I think I think tar should go first, giving she
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: just has that look.
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: This is this is where Gilmour lost me. Honestly, like
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: this season. This is why I say I don't like
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: the season. I prefer the movies. But I'm going to
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: give it a four.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Generous that's actually generous.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: Tune of loafs.
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Danielle, I'm going to give it five point five
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: red hats, extremely generous.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: How did you give it?
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: How many she gave?
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Five point five?
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give it.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, we haven't call on you.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, continue, I got excited.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I know, I understand Susan French.
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna give it a four point five.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: This didn't really do anything for me. Four point five
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: beers from Kirk's Diner, Amy Sugar.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Six point five, which is my low score ever, still
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: higher than you all, but six point five. Rory having
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: a blue dress over jeans, which was a look.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: I rocked in that era.
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, so I respected the fashion.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, six point five, and I feel bad giving it
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: that low. I'd like to give it a seven, but
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going six point five.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give it. Well. The TJ hug was
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: worth at least three points. God disjointedness of it is
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: so I don't know. I can't give it anything. I'm
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: sorry it's a zero. Oh no, because it's such a did.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: You give a zero last week?
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: Zero?
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Zero?
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I agree with Tara. I mean the
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: thing like, it's how many episodes does it take to
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: lose you? I mean this thing's lost me too.
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I mean, we're only on episode two.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: And nobody's acting like their characters and it's just an
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: odd experience and I'm just really like, I'm just looking
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: for some laughs and I got a couple, you know,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: but it's just none of it makes sense anymore. There's
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: no real emotional logic to it any longer. So yeah,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: that's a double zero. Give double zero. I'm giving it
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: zero zero's Oh my god.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't great. I'm not gonna lie about that. Well,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: maybe next week things will be better because I think
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Emily at least we get Emily.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's coming back. All right, Well that's going to
