• 1:08
  Speaker 3: this time and space together.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, and we're joined with one of fifth of the

  Speaker 1: Intrepid crew. But man, it feels like one hundred percent.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Tire Soud. There you go. How you doing, Tara, I'm good.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I love this episode. I'm excited.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Huh wasn't this great?
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah? It was great?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Isn't this great? It's like these first two episodes are
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just perfection. Everything about them was perfect. I mean talk
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: about talk about setting the trend here, laying down the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: first two episodes and now I can see if it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't already clear to me, And now I can see
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: why the fans or why people who watch this show
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: created this really strong, viral kindind of word of mouth
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, telling their friends, and it just spread
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like wildfire because it was just so darn good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does feel like all of the elements that
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you have throughout the entire series are all just kind
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: of embedded by by episode two, I was.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I was surprised too, just what.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: A what a strong first two episodes, because it's all
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: laid out for you. We're already into the conflict, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking, you know, there are four
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: characters already established that have I mean, you're only your
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: character is only as strong as your antagonist. Who's your antagonist? Right?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: What do you have to do? What's pushing against you?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: What's making your life difficult, and what's creating you know
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that that arc for you and to overcome. And it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: obviously loral I with a mother, Rory with school, Laye
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with her mother there and laying with her friendships. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: then you've got Emily against you know her her antagonist
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is Laurel I and it's her own daughter. So it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: just so fraught with layers already. I think Luke, now
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that we're establishing this Luke Lorelei thing, is sort of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you know, that spark is there. You can see kind
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of something developing now. And you know, uh, he flashes
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a bit of of of maybe not jealousy, but like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of insecurity that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: she got asked out on a date. But I think,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think, really Luke's antagonist is probably his past and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: himself as much as anybody.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And then it you know, obviously it's going to be Taylor,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but it's just so beautifully set up. All right. Let
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: me do a quick synopsis. Loreali oversleeps on the morning
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of Roy's first dge children, and then she dresses as
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in a questionable outfit, only to find her own mother
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: waiting in the headmaster's office. Plus we meet Rory's possible nemesis,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Paris Gellar, her crew, and an additional cutie. That's what
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just there. It is interesting. Who doesn't behave so cutely?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Does he?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: No?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: No, how nice wordplay in that in that synopsis?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Huh, I try, I try?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Oh you wrote that synopsis of I.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Wrote, I write everything?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, I apologize. I'm sure everybody else knows that, but
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I think that's love.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't write a word. I did not write a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: word of it. I didn't even write. Directed by Arlene Sandford,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: beautifully directed, Written by Amy Sherman Palladino, beautifully written. You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: let's talk about your work in this, Kiko. It's further
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: establishing you as a main player here and teasing you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and your mother's relationship and all of the tension that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that's created in your life. I think, very beautifully, very sparingly,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: but it really right now. I want to see more
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of it, which is a good thing, right, that's good storytelling.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I just I want to lean in and I want
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to know more. How did you feel on those first
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks of filming?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, besides incredibly excited, I think I was so.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Nervous.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I was just a bundle of nerves back in those days.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: It's funny even listening to the music as I was
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: watching the episode last night, it's this mix between it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: so joyful and comforting and yet in the bottom, in
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the pit of my stomach, there's this like there's this
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: like ten because.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I remember, I don't know I think I.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Was just a bundle of nerves back in those days that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It was one of the great opening scenes of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: entire running through you running with the the Apple Venus
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Volume two and the I'm the man who murdered love
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: by XTC and you run across and scream it and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: then Laurel I runs in. You guys start rocking out
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and we see what a great opening. I mean, just like, sorry, sorry, Rory,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you know, deal with it, We're gonna go right.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Was always a surprise to see what you were going
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: to do in these episodes, because I feel, especially in
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the early seasons, it was like, what is Kim Lane
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: hiding from missus Kim Right? Yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Scott, but I was.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I was pretty much always surprised by uh, the scripts, delightfully.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Surprised, you know, my what would unfold.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I would always say that the thing about these scripts
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: is that it would it would be the mixture of
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: both that you would hope that you would get, is
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: that you would be surprised, and yet some part of
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: you would say, yep, I knew that was going to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: happen in that way.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So like I love the jacket at the end
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: when she's just like.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: All right, oh yeah, go casually doing her changeling change
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: before she has to go home.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Dual Lives and overall, just staggeringly great performance by Lauren
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Ye in these first two episodes, establishing that hey, you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: there's a new talent in town and I'm taken over.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, just all of the comedic skills that are
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: brought to bear. I mean, usually somebody can do drama,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: or somebody can do or somebody's really strong with comedy,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: but rarely do you find somebody who's really strong with
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: both and just can go back and forth and back
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and forth and actually no what they're doing. And it's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: just just a joy to watch her work. You know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff in Headmaster Charleston, Charleston's office, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: all of all of that stuff with the with his
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: assistant before she she looks up and whoa wow, how hi?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? All that little stuff so
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: great to watch. So, you know, what we're dealing with here,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and what the show is showing us is that, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: maybe Lorelei is a bit irresponsible. It's like who's the parent,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: who's the who's the kid?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Here?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, it's like there's almost a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: role reversal with the you know, getting distracted by the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: good looking father that you know he asked her out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You know, there's some heat between them, and you know
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: she she does a sidebar with the guy instead of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: getting Rory situated at her first day. Right, So, as
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in appropriate as that may feel, it sets up so
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: many great jokes, you know, it just really sets up
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so many great situations. And uh, all right, so all
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: these great sweeping shots of stars hollow and this is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the new Warner Brothers said. The gazebo is central to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that shot. So that's very very well established here. All right,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: let's go to Chilton. Let's talk about children, Kiko. You
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: didn't spend did you spend any time at children?
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Not really?
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Did you?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Did you ever go over there and deliver something to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Rory or you know, you were meeting at children or
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: something to go somewhere else? No, it never got there.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And at children, I think once you got to college
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: there was a little bit more, but never never.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so let's talk about Now we meet Paris,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and it's like whoa from your point of view, Keiko,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in your life, did you ever experience anybody like a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Paris in high school. No, never had one.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: That's that. I love how strong Eliza leans into that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I mean she is like a brick wall and then
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: some you know, it's so good.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's kind of it. It makes the show
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: so watchable. Yeah, because here you have this, not that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it isn't, but now we know we're in for it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Like now things are getting serious for our dear Rory.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Right this this this babe in the woods, this this
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: lamb in the woods being led to slaughter almost at
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: this this this private school. And I actually loved the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: scene where they walk in and Emily's there. Oh yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: because what else did you expect? I mean really, what
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: else did you expect? And it surprised me, but it
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that makes makes perfect sense. Well of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: course she's going to be there, and of course she's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: going to be there to really dish out the humor
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: with the Loreles Geene shorts and tied I shirt, which
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: was hysterical.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I love all the cowboy references.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty good stuff.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: And that's like one of the most memorable outfits to
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: this day.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, it really is classic, isn't it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, people always dress up as Lorelei and Rory with
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: the children outfit and then this.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like I don't even know if there
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: is another one as iconic because it plays in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: opening credits all the time, and when I think of her,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I think of her running down the stairs in that particular.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Outfit that's in the opening.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: That's right identifiable to me. It feels iconically lorele Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And that's all the all the Halloween cosplaying is pretty
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: much that outfit.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: It's just funny that she wears it as she continues
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: to walk around Stars Hollow. I like forgot that she
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: didn't just go home and change. She went to Luke's
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: and like she was still going around town.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Right right, right, So we're establishing a real, real antagonism
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: between mother and daughter, Emily trying to get deeper and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: deeper and deeper, get her hooks in deeper into Rory
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and both of them actually in her opening salvos in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the battle for control of Rory and basically both their lives.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So and also we meet Chad Michael Murray, We meet Tristan, Yes,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: we do who who you know? Do you do you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: feel like he was given short shift or that he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: always they always saw him as a character that wasn't
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: going to be a major player, but that somebody there
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was going to go away eventually because he just was
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: so antagonistic. What did you what did you think of
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: him when you first saw him?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that the way, well, the way that
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: it is written, and also the way that Chad played
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: him again, I think, no no holding back, no punches.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, he really came with with that whole Mary thing,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: like it just like, oh me personally, every time he
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: said Mary, I just like, uh.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I hated it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: So So I don't know, it's hard because I do
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: know that there are sometimes when you'll introduce a character
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: that strongly and then you know, you see that person
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: flip to be kind of like adorable and lovely and
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: and you can see them being being you know, they
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: get together at some point. But I kind of loved though,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: how strongly Chad was introduced, in.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: The way that he played it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: In that way, I thought he was the love and
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the fact that well we can do spoilers on this show,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: you know, yeah, yeah, I mean the fact that the
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: fact that Paris liked him, I mean, it's just so
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: it's so perfect you know. I mean that just gives
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the more that they can give that as far as
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: obstacles between Paris and Rory, that you know that that
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: that are going to happen, and.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And the fact that the fact that Paris likes him.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I just also think it's just so funny because he's
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: such a prickly kind of difficult person and that's the
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: person that you know that she likes.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I think hilarious.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You know, for me, what established how much fun this
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: show is going to be, as if it wasn't fun enough,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: but every element was going to be fun to watch
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: was when her file was passed out the window window
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to an awaiting Paris, Louise and Madeline. I knew. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: knew it was an m and the way they went
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: through that and just the sort of the interaction between
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: those three, I really believe that they were classmates and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that they they they had their their sort of structure
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: about who is in power in that troika of people,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and I just thought, man, this is fun and people
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: are going to love this show. And I'm trying to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: put myself back in two thousand, the year two thousand
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and people watching the show and teenagers watching the show
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and their mom's watching. It's just oh, this is good,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: this is fun. You know. They're taking every moment, every
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: opportunity to do something really interesting and fun. And I'm
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: sure you know, Eliza Wheel must have been thrilled getting
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: these scripts and reading this stuff and said, I get
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to go to work and do this stuff. And it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: so it's so, you're right. You get the script and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you go, God, I get to get be in this situation. Right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It's really the writing at the end of the day.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: It's the thing that makes you thrilled to go to work,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: is like, I get to do this and I get
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to say this, and I get to be in this situation,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and the writers are really taking care of me, you know.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And I think Liza probably felt that as well.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And I think one thing that it just it's an
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: obvious thing that it just dawned on me now, is
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: that in every other high school script, if you have
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: a lead that is kind of a brainy character, then
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: their antagonist is going to be the cheerleader, you know.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The popular pretty girl that is not so smart.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: And the fact that Amy made the antagonist someone that
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: is just as smart as Rory, and that they were
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: going to battle it out on with instead of beauty,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: which they're both beautiful as well, but you know, but
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: that that was going to be the way that they
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: would battle each other. Is how smart they were that,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you know, how fun is that even when we get
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to the end of this episode, the fact that they.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I was about to say when she like, sorry to
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: jump ahead Scott in the episode, but when she and
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: we were talking about when she like answers the question
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: in class after breaking the project, and I was like, well,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: she doesn't want my help, I'm gonna answer her questions.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: It was great.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Martin Martin Luther fifteen to twenty.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's on with no hesitation, with no hesitation.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: It was just fantastic. She had a great line after
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: she broke her project and it crashed to the floor
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and she's trying Rory's trying to help her clean it up.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: She goes, is that like water in the good it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: so good.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Also, like they would be in the same class, it
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: would be her project. It was like, that's the right.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: The writing was just on the walls.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It was perfect right right right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: And it's also like if you think about what in
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: other shows, it's always about there's a girl, she's kind
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: of smart, she has glut well I'm kind of saying
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: too much by glasses and curly hair, right, and then
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: there's the makeover episode, and then she gets.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: All like quote unquote beautified.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Right, And yet in this it's not that she's her
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: makeover journey is not a physical makeover.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It's that she's overwhelmed with all of this.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Stuff in this new school, and her makeover is how
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: does she get her bearings intellectually at this new school?
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Like that's her That's gonna be her make up quote
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: unquote makeover journey, which I really like.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's she's returning to the world that Laura I
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: was intended to occupy, you know, sixteen years prior, right,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: or was occupying. I mean, do we know where Laura
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I went to high school? I mean she didn't. She
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: didn't go to Chilton.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: No, she didn't go to Chelton.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That's a good piece of trivia on Earth. I wonder
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: if it's revealed in any I don't recall it being
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: revealed in any of the episodes. Where did Laura I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: go to high school? Did she go to Hartford High
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: or something like that and when she must have gone
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to some private school because her parents were loaded. Christopher's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: parents were loaded, so they were probably in some private
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: private school in Hartford somewhere, right, but not Chilton anyway. Yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: so it's it's not history repeating itself, but it's a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: history that Emily certainly wants to try on with her.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: You know, she's given up on her own daughter, so
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: now she's got a granddaughter, she's gonna she's gonna fight
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: like hell to get her a classical education and then
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: go onto Harvard and do whatever she wants in life.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: You know, write her own ticket in life. So Emily
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: gets another bite at the apple here. So all great stuff,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: great scene with the Rory and and Headmaster Charleston. That listen, kid,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: you know, just because I play golf with your dad
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and my wife and Emily are good friends, doesn't mean
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you're getting any special treatment here, you know. And he
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: kind of laid it out for so that's you know,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that's tough stuff for a kid. I don't blame her
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: for collapsing into her mom's arms and just give me
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a hug. That's a tough day, man, like am I gonna?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, we know intellectually academically, she's going to be
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: able to hack it, right, I mean if she's already
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: sort of mastering her her English class. But it's you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the challenge is like, is this girl going to survive?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: This is? Is is Paris, Madeline and Louise going to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to wreck it all for her? She's going to force
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: her out? So the question is tough enough. We'll find
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: out entertaining great stuff, all right, So we go to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: we go to Luke's and here comes Laurel.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I right, this is another famous line that everyone says
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: where she wants copy in IV.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So the second I saw that, I'm like, oh
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: my god, it's this episode.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It's this episode. Yeah, just man, the beginnings of it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: What did you guys think of this scene? It's it's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite Luke and Laurels scenes that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I've seen, the whole thing. It's just like the beginning
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of it. I mean, it's like they were teasing that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in the in the pilot. Now in the second episode
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you get a real you know, you get a bigger
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: chunk of it, and yeah, it's like, oh okay, It's
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: like Luke's.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Always been around, but now she's like paying attention a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: little more in this episode.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Like mmmmm, I feel like her.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Well. I also thought it was interesting that in episode
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: one Laura gets hit on by the guy in the diner,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: and then in this episode she gets hit on by
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: another student's dad, but she's like coming back to Luke.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: So I I like the way they set it up
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: that way.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Right right, And I like, I like Scott how you
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: played Luke and how Luke was. He was not a
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: conventionally flirting back. You know, there was so much wall.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: But I mean I think that that was great because
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: this was not gonna be something that you were gonna
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: that was gonna this wall cannot crumble in season one's
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: episode four, you know what I mean, like you but
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: you want to have that that that that tension and
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: that holding back for a long time.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: And I think that you see that in episode two,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: which is.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Which is great.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I also thought it was funny that he was like
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: putting a screwdriver in the in the toaster. It was unplugged,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: no I know, but like it was just funny. I
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: was like, why screwdriver? It was like you were so
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: into it, like just fixing it. While you know, you
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: weren't even I thought it was funny that you weren't
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: even like looking at Lorelei the whole time. You were
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: kind of distracted, but still, you know, still bantering with her.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Have you have you ever? You know I played it
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: with There was so much I was so deeply taken
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: with her that I couldn't even look at her. You know.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: It was that kind of thing where it's like it's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: paralyzing because she's so glorious and she's so beautiful, and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: she's got such a an effervescent personality, and she's so smart,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and she can be you know, she can also be
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: very impatient and acerbic. You know, that's all that's intimidating
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for him, right for a guy like that, that's really scary,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: And it's like, there's but she's just obviously just this
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: spectacular woman, strong and fierce and loving and fun everything
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that basically he isn't you know, somebody somebody had done
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: gone and hurt that boy, really, you know, and you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: can tell. And I just always thought that, you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: this is her show, for her to shine and for
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: her to you know, I mean, a scene with Lauren
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Graham is like watching the fireworks at the fourth of July.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And sometimes they're super beautiful, and sometimes they're loud, and
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: sometimes they're a little scary and sometimes but they're always colorful.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: And you just watch, you know, everybody's fixated, and you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: how do you how do you get next to that?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: How are you going to do it right? So it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: it's it's quite a puzzle for Luke. And it's the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: only way I thought I could pull this off and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: make this you know tense, you know, have tension, is
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to just shut down when she shows up and just
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: like struggle to have a conversation with her. And and
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: if the intention is strong enough, if the thoughts are
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: strong enough, then it won't come off like he's being
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you know, a jerk to her or whatever, that there's
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: something more there and that look for moments to leak
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it out, like just little moments.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like you look at her when she like walks away,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: like she's not looking at you, but he's still look up.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: It's those little moments.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Right, because he's scared. Yeah, he's really he's scared that
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he won't have ever have the courage to initiate anything.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: He's scared and he knows it, he knows, this is
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the this is the kind of woman he wants to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: be with. There's he's never seen anything like her. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: also there's like that sort of Romeo and Juliet aspect
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of it, Like this is a rich girl from a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: rich family, and I think everybody knows that. So she's different,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: she's better, she's she's smarter, she's you know, she's not.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I don't have the the temperament, the demeanor, the education.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have the class she has, right,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And the irony is it turns out he kind of
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: does in a way in certain areas. But just a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: fascinating dynamic I thought between those two. And I just
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: love these early scenes. God, I love these early scenes
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: because I don't remember them, you know, and I know
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: three years ago we saw them for the first time.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I saw them for the first time. But man, I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: just isn't she great? Though? I mean, but the thing
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: is is she gives you so much. She's giving you
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: so much you don't really have to do much, you
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. Can you imagine two people like that?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: You imagine if I was like that too, I mean,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: it would too like I mean, it'd probably be entertaining
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: as hell, but it would be mayhem and like so anyway, yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: just man, she made it easy. She just made it
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: so easy to work, you know, And not that it's easy.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta hold the line there and not.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: What was difficult about working with her is you just
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to bust out and laugh at times. You know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you wanted to you wanted to engage, you wanted to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: have that much fun on acting. But you mean, no, no, no, no, no,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: no no, it's not your job. Your job is to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: do this. Do your job. Tell the story, Tell the story,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Tell the story. I don't know, Okay, I I had him.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I had a moment there watching this where I'm telling you,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I got a little emotional. I said, how did I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: end up in the show? I mean, I just felt
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: so lucky. It's like, wow, look at this. All right?
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: So now we go back. Oh, and plus yet I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: think it's the first time we see him. Is it
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the first time we see him in flannel? Oh?
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: When we're in flannel on the pilot?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I was no, I was in a I was in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: a denim, denim and a backwards baseball camp and then
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: was I in flannel the first time you see me.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I remember, No I was in that. I thought I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: was in that denim.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Right, it was denhim in that very first seeing which
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: comes in from coffee in the pilot.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Right, it's denim, isn't it. If I'm not mistaken, But
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I think maybe this is the Maybe I could be wrong,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: but maybe it's the first time we've seen it in flannel. Yes,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: it was denim. Okay, we have that confirmed from a well.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: A couple of iconic outfits then established, right, yeah.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Right, and then there the green but it was green.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: It was like it was yeah, we have to wait
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: for that moment, yeah, right, when when Laurali crowns me
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Luke right with the blue hat. All right, So now
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: we go now we meet uh, well, we've met her before,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: but now we go back to Miss Patty's impressions of
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Miss Patty.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, I love her.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: The thing about that character. She can say so much
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: with just you know, a cigarette and one line. Right, definitely,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: once we get over because Sally and Mortar established this
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: episode two right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Right right as their neighbors.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Miss Patty just has it in her body, like
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: her whole history is in her body, in the way
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: she speaks, in the way she looks at people, right,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the way she dangles that cigarette. It's just she's she's fabulous, right,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: She's like a she's like a theater fabulous person, a
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: dancing fabulous person. Right. And there's a bunch of little girls.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Uh And it's just it's just established a stars Hollow
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: as a very very place, in a very charming place.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And she's h she's being a little nosy about uh
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Rory going to Chilton. Uh so we so we now
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: we're starting to see as an audience, Oh, this place
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you know of ninety nine hundred people, which is a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: little larger than I thought it would be. That would
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: be more like in the four thousand range, the three
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: thousand range.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was that sign in the scenes.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Right, ninety nine hundred people. I don't think we ever
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: saw that sign again.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: No, because I think that shot was well, I think
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: it was shot probably from the pilot when you guys
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: did in Canada, right, because it wasn't It wasn't the
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: back lot.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Oh it wasn't.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: No, if you actually go back to it, it looks
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: completely different.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: So it makes sense now.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: I think it was just like an establishing shot they
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: threw into this episode.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But I guess, I guess ninety nine hundred people in
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you know, outside of metropolitan areas like Hartford and New
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Haven and places like that that are far more populard,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I guess ninety nine hundred. It's still considered a small town. Yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: it is. It is. That's a small town, let's face it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But we're now we're seeing that everybody is involved in
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: everybody's life. We established it. This is an element of
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: small town life, and this is what we have in
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: store for the audience, Like this character is going to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: get know your business. Everybody's going to know your business.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And it seems like the central hub of where the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: gossip may take place might be Luke Steiner because what
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: a perfect place for that to occur.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, So Scott, I know you know this because we've
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: talked about it. But Keiko, there is a clown pillow
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: that has made an appearance throughout the entire series, and
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: as someone who's watched the show many many times, I
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: don't pay that much attention to details, so it wasn't
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: until this podcast that I like found out. But it's
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: pretty like a pretty straight on shot in this scene,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: did you notice it or when it was happening? Did
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: you know about a clown pillow going around on set?
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: That's usually a Laurelize house.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I did not know. And when when Lauren's in a scene,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty much just looking at her. Yeah, it's hard
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: to look away, right, So this clown.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Sorry, this clown pillow shows up in other people's houses.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: No, it's usually a Laurelize, but it was like place
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: in different places. But it's been in like dozens of episodes.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Like it's like it's like a thing, like people look
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: for the clown pillow. So I don't know if, like
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: maybe when you were filming a scene in Laurrelized house,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: you ever noticed a clown pillow?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Were there? There are a lot of fans out there
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: that can recite to you chapter and verse from memory,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: what episode, what time stamp, what scene it was when
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the clown pill appeared, they can say, and they can
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: just sit there and list it all right in front
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: of you. You know, it take some ten minutes to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: do it, but they do it, and it's amazing. Yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: that's that's how dedicated these fans are. This how many
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: times they've seen this show and this is how much
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: they pay attention. Oh yeah, it's amazing. And there they're
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: always asking me questions that I don't have the answers
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: to watch the show. And they've seen these episodes, you know,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: literally dozens of times, if.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Not more, you know, pretty impressive.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: It is impressive because I'm sure, I'm sure there's people
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: that just sort of they have their favorite episodes and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: they watch only those episodes for a while, and then
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: they'll sort of like try to watch the other episodes
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that aren't their favorite episodes. It'd be interesting to take
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: a poll how many people just watch your favorite episodes
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: versus people that will, you know, sort of dogmatically watch
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: in order and that's the way they want it them.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: So let us. I did see something on Instagram that
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: listed every Fall themed Gilmore Girls episode, So because of
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: like you know, people want to watch in the fall,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: you can just jump around and I'm like, I didn't
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: realize because like there's different.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Like oh I saw that too, Yeah, you like they.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Have different events like in like by the Gazebo, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I guess it's just fall themed. So
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: it's funny, all right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: So we're Chilton. Paris is sitting in front of U
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: in the front. She's answering every question correctly with a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: little bet of sass. I would say, self satisfied sass.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Tristan walks in and uh, he makes quite an impression.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: He stares at Rory, ask a friend who she is,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and this is the first time Is this the first
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: time we hear Mary?
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, hey, Mary.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Kind of deal calls her Mary.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And Roy seems a little bit worried about the work
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: she's given, right that this giant folder, this giant notebook
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: filled with her class assignments, and her teacher says, well,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: this is just sort of the outline. You're gonna have
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: to get the details, and you know, ask somebody to
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: borrow their notes, and she's like, whoa, okay. And then
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Paris introduced herself and establishes that she is the head
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: girl in charge of that self styled prison, I guess
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: if you want to call it. And it doesn't seem
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that Rory is at all flustered right now or care
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: about any of Paris's antics. So we meet Paris. We
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: meet a very crucial piece of this of this of
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: this dramedy, who will influence things greatly, and I mean,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: what a great arc. All right, let's go to the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Independence in Ah again. We're in the kitchen, right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Scenes are so fun.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: The kitchen scenes. Yeah, and this is the first time
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: we see Jackson and they're yeah. And what about all
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: these great shots they have of rolling the peach to
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: decide if there's too much water in it. I mean
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the putting the camera on the ground and rolling a
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: peach toward it, all this great stuff. What do you
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: guys think of this scene in meeting Jackson for the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: first time, what'd you think?
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I thought it was fun. It was like that establishing
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: shot of the community that's at the Independence in and
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: you know, giving I think Suki's character a little bit more,
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: a little more room to play as well.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they kind of show the three
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: different ways people flirt, well, actually no four if you
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: count Tristan. So it's Jackson and Suki flirting with basically
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: arguing over produce. They have the you and Laurel I scene,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: which is flirting but you know its own special type.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: That the more obvious one where she's at Chilton, and
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: then the Tristan terrible flirting where he just makes fun
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: of her.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: But I like that.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: You know, it's all different, there's every.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: There's so many different ways that this kind of strange
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: male female dynamic can happen. And I like, I love
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Suki in Jackson's way of flirting.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's very true, the different ways of flirting.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I'm so used to them being together. I forgot that
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: they weren't together. In that episode, they realized, well, they're
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: not together yet. He's just like, yeah, he's sitting but
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: he's sitting close to her, and he seems to It's
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: like the thing is the acting so good that the
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: vibe is there already that they kind of like each other,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: but they're not you know, they're not doing that yet.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: So that's the impression I got from their body language,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, that's you got a couple of
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: great actress in there. They'll do that. And uh uh yes,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: all that foreshadowing. And and Lorelei is dressed to impress
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: today she changed uh and uh yeah, she got hit on.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: She got hit on by the valet guy. And then
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: and then the chiltern dad shows up.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: That's right. It's like you know, the bees are swarming, uh,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you know, and and we we do get a wonderful, wonderful,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: wonderful line ah from Drella. Oh yeah, do I look
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: like I have a stamp on me? It says Panasonica.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: She's playing all this beautiful harp and people are just
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: surrounding her. Then she tips it ever, all right, that's lunch.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: That was so funny, like it's a construction job.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Oh man, it was such a.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Great just unbelievable.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, man, I wish we saw her more in
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: that character throughout the series.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dear mad TV, I know, huh threw you man,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: you know, but I mean we did all right without her,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: but with her, I just think, I mean, it could
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: have been a little funnier of a show, not that
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it needed to be any funnier, but man, you got
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Drella and the Independence in if.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: You had Drella with Michelle, just going back and forth
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: through the whole series, actually of them you got.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: You got the you got the Suki in the kitchen
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: with the comedy, you got the Drella, you got the Michelle,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you got Laural Anson. I mean it's like, come on,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: you'd never want to leave the Independence in so great,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: so great, and then the chilt and Dad shows up
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know it puts on the full court
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: press there.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: That was quick. He didn't go to work, he just
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: went He dropped off this kid and went to the Independence.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean of course. I mean you
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: meet somebody like that and the ViBe's there, Yeah, you're
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: gonna show up. He's like, uh huh uh yeah. And uh.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that she respected Rory's boundaries here. Yeah,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Not she got swept up
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: on it and swept up in it in the moment,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: which was a little you know, inappropriate, you know. But
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: still when there's you know, this sort of mutual attraction,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of hard to resist it, I guess
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people, especially somebody looks Lorelei. But
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: you know, she kind of made up for it and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: cleaned it up a little bit with like, nah, all right, yeah,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: you're a chilter and dad can't do it. You could
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: tell she was tempted, but her daughter, you know, her
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: daughter comes first and it just makes you love her
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: even more. Right, good job, mom, way to go. But
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: he's coming back from China and he will return.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Now we get to the they we'll go
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: back to Chilton and her project is wrecked. Paris's project
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: is destroyed by Rory pulling on her locker and falling
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: backwards after not being able to open her locker. In
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, I mean, they really wreck that thing. Man,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that thing just blowed it all over the ground.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I felt really bad for her. I'm like, oh, I
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: was taken. And also the fact that the teacher only
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: gave her one day to do it. She can't redo
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: that whole thing kind of felt I felt for Pars
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: a little bit in that moment.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of glue, right, yeah, yeah, I mean she's
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to rebuild it from scratch,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: She's got to blow it all.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Also, did she just leave it on the floor for it.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Like glass?
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did not address it at all.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Just it's so funny.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: That's true to character, right, I mean that's how she
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: grew up, right. She probably never took a plate to
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the sink and rinsed it off. She just left it
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: on the table with all the crumbs and all the Yeah.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: All right, So yeah, we have that little tet tet
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: in the classroom, and the teacher and I odd very
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: wisely said all right, you two need to work together, okay,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: since you broke it and you know you're gonna help
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: her fix it, and they gave her a day. Uh,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Paris wanted nothing to do with that. She didn't want help.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: She kept telling Rory to shut up and that was that.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: So now we just keep building on this tension between
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: these two and it's wonderful to watch.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: I also like the way Alexis played just like she
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: was just so overwhelmed. When she's like, do you go by,
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: are you Rory or are you LAURALI, she goes call
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: me whatever you want or like whatever she says. It
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: was just it was just played so well. And then
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: at the end the teachers like, by the way, we
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: have a new student, right right, right right, Like those
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: comedic moments in the element.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: It was so lovely to watch because I hadn't seen
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: it for such a long time to see Alexis in
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: this from the beginning, because she had that wonderful vulnerability
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: and believability, you know. And if you think about also
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: just Alexis as a person's she's coming into this new city,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: she's got this huge weight on her shoulders of being
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: the second lead in a show crazy hours. I mean,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I feel like there's probably some relatability to this episode
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: two filming, where you're going into this new school and
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: there's all these expectations and this, and I always thought
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: that was such a key thing about the series, but
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: seeing it in episode two and just watching how you're
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: drawn into Alexis because you believe her. I think I
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: believe her in this, and I care about I care
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: about her journey through this maze of a yea of
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: a school, and Alexis probably you know, in Los Angeles,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: the city she's not, she hasn't been in before, you know,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: navigating this whole world too.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, yeah. No, imagine being eighteen and thrown into
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: something like.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: This, really, right, it's it.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I know that she didn't expect this level of work daily.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Who would, right, I mean who really somebody experienced in
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the business would be like overwhelmed with it, like, oh boy,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot, it's a lot. Their schedule
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: was terrible, it was, it was. I mean, if you
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: consider having like the two greatest jobs, maybe among the
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: two greatest jobs in the history of television, now that's
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: turning out the show as establishing itself, as you know,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: deeply wove it into the fa fabric of pop culture
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: America and global society, and in the at least in
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: the entertainment side of things. But yeah, I mean the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: price that those two had to pay in terms of
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: their their personal life and free time, they had to
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: donate all of that to the show. And yeah, I
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: think I think half the time she wasn't acting. It
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I am really overwhelmed with this, and yeah,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do this. And
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm eighteen, and man, this is not what
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I expected it to be. Like, you know, because you're
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: god eighteen, Remember when you were eighteen. It's a lot,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: it's a lot farther away from me than it is
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: for you two. But you know, eighteen is know, it's
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: fraught with fraught with a strong feelings and and a
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: lot of energy and a lot of excitement about life
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, just beginning it. And that's the beginning
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: of your college experience, you know, and if you go
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: to college. And yeah, there she was an old pro
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers sixteen hours a day. So yeah, it translated,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: it definitely translated into the work. Ah. All right, so
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: we go back to loops and a.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Lot of loops she having.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: We kind of you know, look, we kind of went
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: over this already. But a pivotal scene, I think a
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: big scene between these two really really a pivotal scene.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Now we know perhaps what the stakes are or what
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: they potentially could be, that maybe Luke's candidate. How's this
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: gonna go? All right? So we pretty much talked about
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: this iconic line came out of this iconic wardrobe, iconic line.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: You know, these are the characters, these two characters as
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: we remember them most fondly. Ah, all right, So then
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: we get to the auspicious debut of one Sean guns
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: as as Kirk, the debut of Kirk as Mick. Right,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: but he isn't.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: He's Mick Emily Why the change is so much different
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: than Mick? But I just.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: This show. But here, here's the thing I love about
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: the show is that Amy is so loyal to people
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: that she's fond of, which was like all of us, right,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: that she's like, I gotta have more Sean gun So
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I don't care like like I'm sure Warner Brothers or
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe people around and saying no, you can't
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: do that. He's been established at Mick, but she goes, no,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I want him as Kirk. This is this is how
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I see him now. And she's stuck to her guns
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and made him Kirk and does anybody care? No, It's like, yes,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: I think there's also one more episode before he's actually
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: established as Kirk, like he's yeah, so there was like
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: there was like two or three where he's just a
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: random character.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Right, I mean, just just beautiful. So Emily, uh, Emily's
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: being a little uh uh. I mean, she's being very
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: generous and she wants things to go well for Rory,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's really insulting to Laurel. I
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and it and it should be and and and she's
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: not liking it. And it's like, hey, man, you know
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I did the heavy lifting here with my daughter, and
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to do the heavy lifting because
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: it's not heavy lifting, it's just what I do. It's
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: how I love my daughter. And so uh Lorle I
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: bounced Nick, see you get out of here. And and
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: we meet we meet Babette and Maury and they provide
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: us with the information that the DSL installers kicked a
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: gnome in the head.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: And there are so many gnomes in the yard too.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: What a bizarre world we are in, right where you've
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: got and and Maury says, and you know, he kicked
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: a gnome in the head, and that's not cool. It's
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: not cool. Nothing about it is cool.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: We know Maury knows what is cool and what is
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: not cool. By the way he is dressed, yeah, that's.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Right, right, you know, all black with black sunglasses and.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Glasses always regardless of the weather.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: All right, let's bounce back to Chilton, and now we
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: see Rory is seated next to Paris. And this is
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: where Rory sort of draws her sword a little bit
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: and says, look, how pointy and sharp this thing is, right,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: answers a couple of questions about Martin Luther, who it
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: was and what year it was Martin Luther fifteen twenty,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: and then we get the dirty looks from Paris. So
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: it's game on, man.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: My favorite line, which is hello Mary. It was just
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: like the delivery. It was just perfect.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's good, isn't he. He was eighteen at the
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: time too. Wow, God, man, imagine being eighteen and being
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: able to do that. Well, I'm sure you guys can
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I couldn't all right now. A great scene, great scene
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: for Lauren and also firmly. But it's like at the salon,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Lorel I storms in and just sort of tells off her.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Mom.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I love I loved how she walked up
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: to the the contraption over Emily's head and knocked on
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: it like she was knocking on a door.
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: That's Funny's great. That would freak me out too, though.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: It would be loud, right, yeah, And so now we
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: have Laurel I establishing boundaries, re establishing boundaries just because
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: you paid for Chiltern and I so appreciate that, and
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you know I will pay you back. But don't cross
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: this line again. Mom, I'll make the decisions. We like
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: our slow internet. We get to dance around and build
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: an appetite and have some snacks and then we go
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: back to work. That's how we liked it. That's how
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I do it with my daughter. Okay, so butt out.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: And it was I thought, you know, Lourla I was
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: appropriately angry, and it's like now is the time. It's
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: like she couldn't contain it anymore. And we see that
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Emily's a little embarrassed, and we are not used to
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: seeing Emily back on her heels. Even though we've just
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: met her, we can tell that this is not a
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: woman who has to be defensive. Ever, She's always got
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: it together, or she's on the attack in some way,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: or she's plotting. So interesting dynamic. And as we've discussed
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: the pickup scene at She'll, where there's an iconic moment
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: where Rory just falls into her mother's arms and and
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: that is that is a very memorable scene, very memorable
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: physicality between mother and daughter which just collapses into her arms.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Don't let me go, Mom, I'm not done yet. I
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: need more hugs. They both had horrible days, and this
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: is where we get the the good lines. And once
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: they get into the jeep about the Virgin Mary, why
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: is he calling me Mary? Well, he's because you know,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: the Virgin Mary. And and but if I was what'd
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: she say? What if you? What if I was a
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: little more slutty and luralized this, well, that would be
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: a Magdalen. Biblical insults, insults of biblical proportions. All right,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: So now we come to the iconic lane in Kim
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: in a fox a pink fox hoodie, foxy Foxy? Was
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: it fox or foxy? Taking a nighttime stroll with with
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Lorelei and Rory, all having had pizza okay.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: And just to eat two meals and multiple meals.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Tell us about that scene. Do you remember that scene? Keiko?
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I do not at all.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Tell us anyway make something up.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: Full night in Burbank to believe that I was Connecticut, Scott.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: It was a brisk night in Burbank. I'll never forget it.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: The salamanders had gone away for the day, the street
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: corner of the streets no longer hot.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: The airplanes for some reason, we're not landing in Bourbon.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: We had the quiet that we needed for that crucial
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: outdoor shot as we.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Did our mini wunner across the street.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, but it was it was a really interesting camera
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: position because you guys were in the distance. There was
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: some you know, there was some railings or or or
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: partitions in front of you, separating the camera and you guys,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: and it looked like a movie shot.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: There was.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of movie shots in these first
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: two episodes. There's a lot of sort of film movie
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: shots in these Yeah, and I enjoy them so much.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: And you guys will walk into frame and and uh,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you had your little easy friendship and breezy
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: nice time and the three girls enjoying each other's company
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: in pizza, and then we say you have to take
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: off your you have to take off your hoodie, you
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: have to take the ribbons out of your hair and
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: transform back into Lane Kim prisoner of Missus Kim.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: I did sort of enjoy, well, definitely enjoyed the fact
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: that you know, they found a way to have to
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: have the Lane Rory relationship feel easy and just part
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: of the fabric of life that it didn't necessarily need
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: to be. That we went to school together, but we
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: were still close, right, and that home life would home
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: life being stars hollow. I guess is also includes Lane
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: is kind of.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Part of that fabric, which which I.
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: Loved and felt it was a way to I think,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: keep keep that, keep that friendship and dynamic involved in
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: the show over time as well.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all these years later, it's amazing how deeply the
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: lame your character and Missus Kim resonates throughout that show.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: It was a huge piece of that. Even though I
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: don't know that you guys, you know, you and Emily
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: had a ton of screen time, but but what you
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: guys did was just so h It's so deeply embedded
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: in me because it was just so good and it
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: was so thank you. I mean, it said everything. It was.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: It was it was like, you know, this the difference
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: between cultures, and it was the you know, pretty much
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: the opposite of what uh Lorelei and Rory had and right,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: it was just so moving and so powerful the work
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: that you two did together. And then to have a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: nice relaxing stroll at night eating pizza in a small
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: town with your best friend and your and your you know,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: your second mom. Almost really lovely scene, really really lovely scene.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: All right. So Laura I says she had a Paris
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: in high school. I mean, this is after you go
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: back and you know you want the cross, give me
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: the crust? Can I have your crust? I have to
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: go to dinner now. My mom's I'm late for dinner,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: all right, so you you take off and uh so,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Laura I tells her daughter, Listen, I had to Paris
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and you'll be okay, And Rory Ashore's yeah, I'll get
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: through it. I'll figure I'll figure it out, mom. Because
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: mom says, do you need me to talk to anybody?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Hire a guy named Vinnie, what do you need? I'll
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: do anything, And she says, I'll handle it, Mom, don't worry,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: I'll figure it out. And then they stop and they
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: take a look at Luke, who's cleaning cleaning a table,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't see them, or so we think, and
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: they sort of spy him a little bit, and and
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Laura I asked the question, what do you think? What
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: do you think of? Look? What do you think?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: You think?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: He's cute? And and and Rory's like, OK no, no, mom,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: no we could. You can't date him. He's like, come on,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: we'll ever be able to eat there ever again, because
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: because it's inevitable, it isn't gonna work out. That plays
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of faith in our own mother's ability to
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: have sustained relationships. But but a very nice moment at
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: the end after they walk off and Luke walks out
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: of the diner and just looks after them like he
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: was aware and a little disappointed they didn't come in maybe,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: you know, very touching stuff. So again, episode two ends
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: with the diner yep, just like episode one.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 6: Whatever the last and there's an un and then there's
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: an unanswered question, why does it say William's hardware because
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: we don't know that it's his dad's store yet, that
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 6: he inherited from his father.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: We don't know that yet. Yeah, we see the Luke sign,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: and then we see another Luke sign which is a
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: smaller one on the other window on the opposite side,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: right on the left side of the door, that is
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: a white light with red letters. And I don't know
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: that it was in this episode. I'll go back and
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: try to find out. But but there was also a
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Lukes Diner coffee mug logo that became you know, the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: logo was on the Was it on the side of
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: the dowa?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was treeway. It was like not in this scene.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: It was like I think it was one of the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: scenes where Laura I walked in and it was like
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: kind of like established that that was It was like
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: the coffee exactly what the sign looks like now, maybe
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: just a different version of it. But yeah, it wasn't
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: in the final scene though, when the camera zoomed out.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that this show is so meaningful to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: so many people, that that Luke's Diner logo has become
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: iconic in a way that few logos are yeah, I
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: mean people instantly they see that Luke's diner mug with
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: the red letters, the yellow mug with the red letters,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: and the feelings that that evokes in people. Isn't that amazing?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Just just stunning show?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: So one tradition we're going to hang on to, I think,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: is how we felt about the episode. I don't I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: don't know if we want to rate them anymore one
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: to ten or anything, but uh, keiko start out, what
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: do you think of these this this second episode? You
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: think it was?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was really I was really touched.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: You know, it had been it had been years since
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: I hadn't seen it. But even in that last moment,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: they were just talking about about how she asks Rory
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: right at the end of the second episode about Luke,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: you know, so.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: And and all of all of what.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Happens with with Paris and just and of course the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: iconic uh Laura la Emily dynamic that is going to
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: fuel the whole season for seven years. You know, it's
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: all like I said at the top of this, as
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: we were talking about the fact that all of it
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: is there, you know, all of it is there in
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: that second episode, right, just makes me love television. Not
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: only love this show, but love television. The fact that
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: you it really all of the elements are in there,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: embedded in the beginning, and if they're they're good and grounded,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: then we can go on a journey with these people
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: and watch them, you know.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: For years, and it's a special, special thing.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: And I'm I'm I loved it. So I don't know
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: how you can rate love, but I love.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: The thing that's thrilling about for me watching these first
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: two episodes everything you said, but that we get a
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: glimpse inside Amy and Dan's brains and how this show,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: how they built the foundation for this show and this
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: platform so all of these characters could grow and interact
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: and thrive, and it's just it's like being on this
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: awesome construction project that's going to sort of make the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: world a better place almost, you know, if you want
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: to look at it that way, Because the show really
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: has made the world a better place. It's really given
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: a great deal of comfort to people. So watching these
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: first two episodes is just I felt the same way.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I felt very moved by it because I now know
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: that this show, this little innocent show on this smaller network,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: has grown into something that nobody anticipated that nobody anticipated.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: It just sort of came out of nowhere. Just art
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: is fascinating, isn't it just just art is unpredictable and fascinating. Yeah, anyway,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: I have one question.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if we're going to get this
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: chance again. So sorry, Scott, I'm jumping ahead, But Keiko,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: I have to ask you. Recently, with Adam Brodie's show
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: on Netflix, everyone's been saying Lane should have been with Dave.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: And absolutely, and everyone's like justice for David Galski. And
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: I know we mentioned that, you know, Lane wasn't in
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: every scene every episode, but what does it mean to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: you when that character and little moments like that means
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: so much the fans? And it keeps coming up because
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: I feel like we've talked about that character and that relationship,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: and I guess two part question, what do you wish
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: happened with that with that relationship? And too, what does
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: it feel like to have moments of the show come
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: back in your life?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on, hang I know I want to
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: leave this on a cliffhanger. That's a great question, by
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: the way, that's an awesome question. I've been waiting. I
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: don't want an answer. You know why I don't want
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: an answer. She has to come back exactly, so when
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: we get to that fantastic day Vergalski stuff. Okay, you're
• 1:08:29
