3:28
Speaker 1: did you think? Gang? Huh?
3:30
Speaker 5: I loved this episode. This is one of my top ten.
3:34
Speaker 5: I always have enjoyed this one. You have like quirky
3:37
Speaker 5: town people. You've got some Paris, You've got some Lane,
3:41
Speaker 5: You've got Shenanigans with Babbitt and Maury. It's great Luke
3:48
Speaker 5: and Rory scene.
3:49
Speaker 4: Like, I just love this episode. I think it was
3:51
Speaker 4: a great episode. Scott you with that drink. I was
3:57
Speaker 4: laughing so hard. And then of course Laura Life just
4:01
Speaker 4: when she's when she finally when she finally talked to
4:05
Speaker 4: More and is like, your drink is gross?
4:08
Speaker 1: She said's disgusting. Yeah, yeah, I I rate this one
4:13
Speaker 1: way up there. This is also one of my I
4:18
Speaker 1: think top ten. I think we can call it the
4:20
Speaker 1: top ten. Wow, easily easily top ten. It was a
4:25
Speaker 1: joy from start to finish, and I think it was
4:28
Speaker 1: very even very balanced in the production quality, sound quality, lighting, acting, fighting.
4:38
Speaker 1: It was very very balanced, yes, and it had a
4:42
Speaker 1: nice flow and it was easy to watch, and it
4:46
Speaker 1: was easy to laugh with. I mean, it cracked me
4:48
Speaker 1: up on several several moments. It's just it's such a
4:53
Speaker 1: unique show. It's such it does what it does better
4:57
Speaker 1: than any show I've ever seen. Its just it sort
5:00
Speaker 1: of tips into the absurd with the Maury but bet stuff, yes,
5:04
Speaker 1: with the hanging, and I mean, it's just just a
5:08
Speaker 1: great ride. That was a great forty minutes.
5:11
Speaker 4: The town looked amazing, The Gilmore's house looked amazing, that
5:15
Speaker 4: party looked amazing.
5:17
Speaker 1: This is Amy Sherman Palladino at her best. There's firing
5:21
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, and with this ease of writing and
5:24
Speaker 1: the ease of the humor.
5:26
Speaker 4: And when did it air? When did it air?
5:28
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, does anybody have that information? I don't know
5:32
Speaker 1: the exact date.
5:33
Speaker 4: On October twenty fifth, so right either in sweeps or
5:38
Speaker 4: just about to be sweep. So it's like a big episode.
5:42
Speaker 1: Very impressive episode that really played on the tension between
5:47
Speaker 1: mother and daughter and coming back together. It was really
5:50
Speaker 1: the kind of the riveting narrative that kept me hoping, hoping,
5:58
Speaker 1: hoping that they were going to get back together and
6:00
Speaker 1: have a conversation and boy, what a tease that was.
6:03
Speaker 1: And then when they finally had the conversation, it was,
6:06
Speaker 1: it was, it was, It was pretty glorious. But then
6:09
Speaker 1: it was cut short and we realized with that devastating
6:13
Speaker 1: moment at the end that life has changed, and life
6:16
Speaker 1: moved on, and my life moves on, and we all
6:19
Speaker 1: have to move on. And the rory we knew and
6:22
Speaker 1: loved that was attached to lorealized hip is maybe gone forever.
6:26
Speaker 1: And what a what a moment the show, the appeal
6:33
Speaker 1: of the show, It hit me quite clearly that you
6:38
Speaker 1: know this show. I don't think any other show or
6:42
Speaker 1: when when when you do this, well this type of thing,
6:45
Speaker 1: well this this sense of nostalgia wanting to go back
6:48
Speaker 1: and fix your life, and we just can't do that,
6:52
Speaker 1: but boy, if we could, it would be so sweet,
6:55
Speaker 1: you know, that that sensation of maybe a lack of
6:59
Speaker 1: fulfilled and a little bit of loss but with a
7:02
Speaker 1: Wii and nostalgia all mixed in and hope, and it's
7:06
Speaker 1: just just very powerful.
7:08
Speaker 4: It's very very powerful.
7:09
Speaker 1: The themes that they play.
7:11
Speaker 4: On is that's so true, Scott, It's so true. It's
7:14
Speaker 4: because there's so much to that conversation that begins with
7:19
Speaker 4: Richard and Lorlai. Then Emily comes in, Lorli removes herself,
7:24
Speaker 4: and you realize, like I couldn't figure out why are
7:27
Speaker 4: they so hung up on sex? Like why are they
7:30
Speaker 4: so weird? Almost? And then you realize, oh my god,
7:35
Speaker 4: it's because of their own daughter. And I don't know
7:38
Speaker 4: why it took me a minute to get that exactly,
7:42
Speaker 4: and their fear and just they will do anything to
7:46
Speaker 4: prevent that.
7:48
Speaker 1: Right, all right? And I think we're gonna synopsize with
7:52
Speaker 1: the new synopsisization stylings of Queen Susann Go ahead, all right?
7:58
Speaker 5: So this is seasons episode seven, twenty one is the
8:01
Speaker 5: Loneliest number. It aired on October twenty fifth, two thousand
8:05
Speaker 5: and five. As Rory's twenty first birthday approaches, both Lorelai
8:09
Speaker 5: and Rory are saddened by the fact that their ongoing
8:11
Speaker 5: estrangement will keep them from spending the day the way
8:14
Speaker 5: they had always planned. Richard tries to convince Laurlai to
8:17
Speaker 5: help him with a plan to get Rory back to Yale,
8:20
Speaker 5: but Loralai insists that Rory has to make the decision herself.
8:23
Speaker 5: While Richard continues to worry about Rory's future, Emily throws
8:27
Speaker 5: herself into planning an elaborate birthday party. Meanwhile, Emily and
8:30
Speaker 5: Richard are shocked when they realize that Rory and Logan
8:33
Speaker 5: have been having sex.
8:35
Speaker 4: My first question is were you surprised? And I was
8:37
Speaker 4: a little bit. I get it, But that Loralai wasn't
8:40
Speaker 4: more into it when Richard was like, we need to
8:43
Speaker 4: do something.
8:46
Speaker 5: I think she was. I think she was just kind
8:48
Speaker 5: of frustrated with Richard because she's like, this is what
8:50
Speaker 5: I told you all along, and you guys refuse to
8:54
Speaker 5: listen to me. So I kind of get how She's
8:58
Speaker 5: still kind of like, this is the bed you made,
9:01
Speaker 5: now lay in it.
9:02
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, so but but that does that really serve Rory? Right?
9:09
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? In that moment, it's like, okay,
9:14
Speaker 1: we can you know, I can beat you up in
9:16
Speaker 1: this moment, or we can solve the problem. And another
9:20
Speaker 1: thing I thought about this is, you know, thank god
9:24
Speaker 1: things went awry because then we wouldn't have these dramatic
9:27
Speaker 1: moments because these are riveting moments. And so anyway, I
9:33
Speaker 1: just wanted to say I appreciated that she'll be in Yale,
9:37
Speaker 1: And I mean, obviously a different show. And I know
9:39
Speaker 1: we get some some emails about you know, why is
9:43
Speaker 1: Scott always trying to write the show and his ideas suck?
9:46
Speaker 1: And they might be right about that.
9:54
Speaker 4: You know what. You know what why though, because we
9:57
Speaker 4: take it so real and we always are analyzing it
10:03
Speaker 4: like it's real life and these people are real. Whereas
10:06
Speaker 4: the reason it goes in certain directions is because writers
10:09
Speaker 4: are writing it to make it dramatic or funny or sad,
10:13
Speaker 4: and so we're it makes sense that we're sort of
10:16
Speaker 4: sometimes rewriting it.
10:18
Speaker 1: But we're supposed to feel that loss. We're supposed to
10:21
Speaker 1: get depressed. We're supposed to feel why didn't they just
10:25
Speaker 1: leave her and Yale? And why are they doing this?
10:29
Speaker 1: I have a better idea for the moment, but it
10:31
Speaker 1: doesn't pay off in the longer. Where you going the longer?
10:33
Speaker 1: So they've planned it ahead right right, they know what
10:36
Speaker 1: they're doing. So very satisfying. But uh yeah, I thought
10:42
Speaker 1: I thought that moment maybe was the only moment that
10:46
Speaker 1: I kind of went, eh, you know, Loreli could be
10:49
Speaker 1: a little more.
10:50
Speaker 4: I thought she would be more into it.
10:51
Speaker 1: Of a team player.
10:52
Speaker 4: You know, Well, look, she's mad because she had a plan.
10:57
Speaker 4: They all agreed to the plan, and then Richard is
10:59
Speaker 4: the reason they deep ad from the plan. We understand
11:01
Speaker 4: why he did it. Rory was so upset, he's a grandpa.
11:04
Speaker 4: Then he comes back and says.
11:05
Speaker 1: We need a plan, and she's but I think, I think,
11:09
Speaker 1: I think Susanne makes a salient point that the Richard
11:13
Speaker 1: and Emily didn't want to screw up a second time.
11:15
Speaker 1: They were leaving nothing to chance, and they were not
11:18
Speaker 1: going to let Laura I get in the way of that,
11:20
Speaker 1: you know, and not their right, not their kid. But
11:24
Speaker 1: you know, they control her with the money, they controlled
11:27
Speaker 1: her with the guilt and all that. So I can
11:29
Speaker 1: see why she's put off, and I can see what
11:33
Speaker 1: and that's the beauty of it. You can, you can
11:35
Speaker 1: you can relate to everybody's point of view totally and
11:38
Speaker 1: and and that's the beauty of it, right.
11:41
Speaker 5: And I think she was also pushing back against you know,
11:44
Speaker 5: Richard's new plan is, Okay, we'll we'll delay her trust fund,
11:51
Speaker 5: we'll buy her a car, we'll buy her a condo.
11:53
Speaker 5: Like he's always trying to trick her, trick Rory into
11:57
Speaker 5: doing what they want. And I think Lorlai was pushing
12:00
Speaker 5: back against that concept because they've done it before. They
12:03
Speaker 5: did it with that party that they only invited the
12:05
Speaker 5: boys to and right the Yale interview, and it's like
12:09
Speaker 5: they always result, it's the whole owner and Laurai doesn't
12:12
Speaker 5: like that.
12:12
Speaker 4: It's the premise of the whole show that they bought
12:16
Speaker 4: them back, essentially by paying for Chiltern and ultimately Yale
12:24
Speaker 4: to get to see them, which is what it is.
12:27
Speaker 4: It's how they operate. So yes, it did land a little.
12:31
Speaker 1: Right, And so they're attempting to have this kind of
12:36
Speaker 1: transactional relationship with Laurai because they can't really have a
12:41
Speaker 1: real relationship with her. To apply that same transactional relationship
12:45
Speaker 1: to Rory, though, I think, is a mistake. But here's
12:47
Speaker 1: the say, Yes, there's this thing. What Emily and Richard
12:52
Speaker 1: know and what Laura I should probably know, is that
12:55
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old does not have a fully
12:58
Speaker 1: formed brain. This is not a full, fully aware adult
13:05
Speaker 1: person capable of making responsible decisions because there's no long
13:13
Speaker 1: term thinking involved or not or not enough. And I'm
13:16
Speaker 1: not saying that's the case with everyone, and maybe Rory's
13:19
Speaker 1: the exception and probably is, but I think from Richard
13:24
Speaker 1: Emley's point of view, they weren't going to leave it
13:25
Speaker 1: to chance. It's like, right, you know, how many people
13:28
Speaker 1: have you run into in your life or read about
13:30
Speaker 1: who said, you know, I was, I was on a
13:33
Speaker 1: path I thought was great, and my parents just really
13:36
Speaker 1: kind of kicked my ass about it and forced me
13:38
Speaker 1: back on the path. And man, am I glad they did?
13:41
Speaker 4: Yeah?
13:42
Speaker 1: I hear that more often than you know the other
13:46
Speaker 1: result well.
13:47
Speaker 4: And you can tell like same idea when she says,
13:52
Speaker 4: like put the party furniture in there and then we'll
13:54
Speaker 4: fumigate them. Then I'll tell her there's rats. It's like
13:57
Speaker 4: they rather than empower right a child or a grandchild
14:01
Speaker 4: to make the right decision, they try to force and
14:04
Speaker 4: control it right, which is why they ultimately regularly fail.
14:09
Speaker 1: I just think of how many other ways they could
14:11
Speaker 1: have inspired her back to Yale. Right, So if a kid,
14:16
Speaker 1: like if your kid goes bad, if you have a
14:18
Speaker 1: son that goes bad and he's in with bad kids,
14:22
Speaker 1: you know, you take him, you scare him straight, You
14:24
Speaker 1: take him to the lock up and say this is
14:26
Speaker 1: where you're going to end up if you continue to
14:27
Speaker 1: be And that's like a wake up call. That can
14:30
Speaker 1: be a wake up call for a ten year old
14:32
Speaker 1: if you just leave dark extreme. Same thing could have
14:35
Speaker 1: been done with Rory had Richard or Emily And here
14:39
Speaker 1: I go again, rewriting the show hate me. Maybe I'm ready.
14:44
Speaker 1: It taken her to I don't know, a professional mixer
14:48
Speaker 1: of college professors that inspire her, or you know, they
14:52
Speaker 1: could have gotten in touch with some of the publishing
14:54
Speaker 1: houses or whatever of the favorite books she's read, and
14:58
Speaker 1: let's take her on a trip to New York and
14:59
Speaker 1: go to Random House and Penguin. She can meet the
15:01
Speaker 1: editors and yes, we can take her here, and they
15:04
Speaker 1: can tell us stories about, you know, the struggles of
15:06
Speaker 1: these great writers and their education and their relationship with
15:09
Speaker 1: their parents. And they had struggles too, but they chose
15:11
Speaker 1: to stay in school, and look what happened for them.
15:13
Speaker 1: You know, this kind of thing. So there's a million
15:14
Speaker 1: of reactions.
15:15
Speaker 4: They could have just had another Mitcham, somebody of his caliber,
15:21
Speaker 4: just say, hey, we all think Mitcham's kind of a turd.
15:24
Speaker 4: Don't listen to him.
15:25
Speaker 1: Right.
15:31
Speaker 4: The other thing is, don't you guys think and tell
15:33
Speaker 4: me if I'm wrong? If Loralai, Emily and Richard would
15:37
Speaker 4: have done the original Loralai plan. She would have gone
15:40
Speaker 4: back to Yale, just the three of them talking to
15:43
Speaker 4: her and saying, we want you to go back to Yale.
15:45
Speaker 4: This is not good. The three of them could have.
15:48
Speaker 1: Done it right, like an intervention.
15:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the original plan was good. Yeah.
15:54
Speaker 5: I think if she had seen the three of them
15:57
Speaker 5: actually agreeing on something, that might have made an impact
16:00
Speaker 5: on her because she'd be like, Okay, these two parties
16:03
Speaker 5: of people never get along. If they're coming together on this,
16:06
Speaker 5: they must really mean it, right.
16:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a throwaway line. It was a throwaway
16:11
Speaker 4: line in this scene too, but I laughed out loud
16:13
Speaker 4: when she says it's freakish, but you know how like
16:16
Speaker 4: she's talking about how Rory likes school, it's freakish.
16:21
Speaker 1: I love the medal and all Bright scene too.
16:23
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it was just so off.
16:26
Speaker 1: The walk right. What it is the last thing you
16:30
Speaker 1: would ever expect to see in Rory's bed is all Bright.
16:34
Speaker 4: I mean it's like, wow, can you remember that at all?
16:39
Speaker 4: Like her being around and how they ended up casting
16:41
Speaker 4: her or like anything.
16:43
Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't. I I think I was there the
16:47
Speaker 1: day she was there. But I didn't ge to meet HM
16:49
Speaker 1: because they were in a different part of the they
16:51
Speaker 1: were on a different sound.
16:52
Speaker 4: Stage, right, because it was just the two of them.
16:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I just remember that day. There was
16:58
Speaker 1: some secret service, I think, and I was going to
17:01
Speaker 1: say it was kind of a big deal, and Madeline
17:04
Speaker 1: all rights here, and you know, I think I was
17:06
Speaker 1: going to lunch and they said, well, you want to
17:08
Speaker 1: go over and watch something, and I say, no, I'm hungry.
17:10
Speaker 1: I want to go to lunch.
17:12
Speaker 4: I was trying to look in in my book. They
17:16
Speaker 4: had the authors on to see if they knew I
17:21
Speaker 4: don't know, Susan, do you know anything about the cat?
17:24
Speaker 5: They do not. Yeah, I remember there was also some
17:28
Speaker 5: political figures appeared in that episode where they were they
17:31
Speaker 5: had the summer program in Washington, right right, right right,
17:35
Speaker 5: So I don't know either Amy or Dan or somebody
17:38
Speaker 5: must have had some kind of you know, political connections.
17:42
Speaker 1: Well, no, I think everybody's a fan, and these people
17:44
Speaker 1: all all have representation in Hollywood. You know, we're speaking engagements,
17:50
Speaker 1: they'll have raps, and everybody's a fan of the show.
17:53
Speaker 1: They love the show was so Madeline probably watched the
17:57
Speaker 1: show with her daughter or her granddaughter or whatever.
18:01
Speaker 4: Okay, here's what I found out. Political junkies Amy and
18:05
Speaker 4: Dan would ring up the casting office and rattle off
18:09
Speaker 4: a few names of high profile politicos she'd like to
18:12
Speaker 4: see on the show. Madeline Albright was one of them,
18:17
Speaker 4: so they thought it was worth a shot, threw it
18:20
Speaker 4: out there. Yeah, and Madeline Albright's assistant ring back almost
18:24
Speaker 4: immediately saying she would love to do it, right, wow, right,
18:29
Speaker 4: And that is from the Gilmore Girls companion book.
18:34
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you she did a pretty darn
18:36
Speaker 1: good job.
18:37
Speaker 4: I thought so too.
18:38
Speaker 1: And on the acting front, for somebody who is not
18:40
Speaker 1: a trained actor to come in there and do a
18:43
Speaker 1: scene with somebody as sophisticated at that point as Alexis
18:47
Speaker 1: Bodell was with her with her chops, right, I mean Alexis,
18:51
Speaker 1: Alexis got really good and she was always good to
18:56
Speaker 1: begin with, naturally good and naturally instinctual and never pushed
19:00
Speaker 1: anything but h man, I mean, she just kept getting
19:04
Speaker 1: better and she was great in.
19:05
Speaker 4: This and recreating that scene. So it had to have
19:08
Speaker 4: the feel and the tone to let us all go,
19:12
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, because if you can imagine when people
19:15
Speaker 4: saw this, the first time. They hadn't necessarily seen all
19:18
Speaker 4: the episodes many many times because it's in its first run,
19:22
Speaker 4: so it had to be iconic enough. People were reminiscent enough.
19:28
Speaker 1: But people were dvring it and they had that yeah.
19:31
Speaker 4: And DVDs, but they weren't. It wasn't the same. You
19:34
Speaker 4: weren't watching things over and over and over watching.
19:39
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they'd wear them out. They'd have to buy
19:43
Speaker 1: new DVDs because they.
19:44
Speaker 4: Wear before the before burning to the dvs. Before that scene, though,
19:50
Speaker 4: I did chuckle at you and Laura Lai and the
19:55
Speaker 4: dollhouse and she's really going with her thing as you
19:58
Speaker 4: guys tend to do, and you're going with this thing
20:02
Speaker 4: is so heavy? Is your father a Hercules? And then
20:06
Speaker 4: at the very end we get the payoff.
20:08
Speaker 1: The time very nice, It was no no, But I
20:12
Speaker 1: loved how Luke treated her and fixed her hair and
20:17
Speaker 1: touched her hair, kissed her on the forehead and just
20:21
Speaker 1: you know, was there for her. I love that kind
20:25
Speaker 1: I love that little detail. I love that kind of
20:27
Speaker 1: stuff me too.
20:28
Speaker 4: And is that you? Is that you? Or is that
20:32
Speaker 4: a director?
20:33
Speaker 1: So that's not no, that's me making making the relationship believable.
20:39
Speaker 1: It's what what do you do to suspend the audience
20:44
Speaker 1: disbelief that you're in a real committed relationship with this person?
20:48
Speaker 1: How do you behave in this situation? How does this
20:52
Speaker 1: character behave in the situation? So yeah, I felt we
20:55
Speaker 1: really nailed it up. And by the way she walks away,
21:02
Speaker 1: by the way the top comes off, perfect, it was
21:05
Speaker 1: a perfect scene.
21:07
Speaker 4: Perfect are Yeah, it was good fun.
21:10
Speaker 5: Little inconsistency was when she walks away and she says,
21:13
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go order a pizza. But the reason she
21:16
Speaker 5: went to the door in the first place is because
21:18
Speaker 5: she had already ordered the pizza and the doorbell rang
21:21
Speaker 5: and she thought it was her pizza coming, but it
21:22
Speaker 5: was Richard.
21:23
Speaker 1: Sooy, this is why you're a legend. You got you.
21:31
Speaker 4: And I like the four oh three am, four oh
21:34
Speaker 4: three am. I like I like how they've done that
21:37
Speaker 4: as they've been apart. We've seen her version, but they're
21:43
Speaker 4: in parallel. Yeah, yeah, and I think that's that's nice.
21:47
Speaker 4: So in a timely manner, we're just a little we
21:53
Speaker 4: almost had it perfect. That it's Halloween, so we all
21:58
Speaker 4: just had Halloween. Now it's Gilmour Halloween. They're they're talking
22:02
Speaker 4: about she's in town. The town looks amazing.
22:05
Speaker 1: Oh I roared when when when Bet came on screen,
22:08
Speaker 1: but Bet and Morey came on screen, and the can,
22:10
Speaker 1: the candy, the apples hanging off the trees. You're going
22:13
Speaker 1: to do that again, Sugar, really thinking it's not It's
22:17
Speaker 1: not really that scary, is it. You're gonna do anything.
22:21
Speaker 1: She's just Bet feeling sorry for like, you know, you're
22:25
Speaker 1: a little weird. I feel a little sorry for it.
22:27
Speaker 1: It's not scary, but we're gonna go do our big
22:29
Speaker 1: production of hanging.
22:30
Speaker 4: We can go out of order, just because the hell makes.
22:34
Speaker 1: Me laugh so hard is that she is such a
22:38
Speaker 1: great actress.
22:39
Speaker 4: Totally, that scenems great. And then the scene again, so
22:43
Speaker 4: you see them with the groceries and the whole thing.
22:44
Speaker 4: Then the scene where they're in the yard and you
22:46
Speaker 4: actually see what they do amazing, And then I really
22:52
Speaker 4: thought it was hilarious her idea, and obviously we get
22:55
Speaker 4: the great payoff at the end about the sausage links.
22:58
Speaker 4: But her explained, it's just so good.
23:04
Speaker 1: This is some of the best Luke and Laurel I stuff.
23:08
Speaker 1: It was good. It was so strong.
23:11
Speaker 4: Well, and I love another line.
23:12
Speaker 1: That go feed your psychotic dog.
23:17
Speaker 4: And there's another throwaway line where you're making the chicken
23:21
Speaker 4: and you're talking about everything, and she says, will you
23:23
Speaker 4: marry me?
23:24
Speaker 3: Like it's just those scenes are so cute.
23:29
Speaker 4: I want to do a skin. I'll bring you out
23:33
Speaker 4: and you're like, okay, okay, no way.
23:36
Speaker 1: Not great banter, just great banter, isn't it?
23:40
Speaker 4: Yeah?
23:41
Speaker 1: And isn't it so great? How she drives that stuff,
23:44
Speaker 1: How Lauren just drives it and drives it and drives
23:47
Speaker 1: it and drives it and you can always rely on her.
23:49
Speaker 1: That's why it was so easy to just sort of
23:51
Speaker 1: hang back and throw stuff at her because you knew
23:53
Speaker 1: she was going to be there, you knew her timing
23:56
Speaker 1: was going to be there. It's just wonderful. I really
23:59
Speaker 1: miss doing things with her. She's she's terrific.
24:02
Speaker 4: She's you know, I kind of want her to, like work,
24:04
Speaker 4: get a show.
24:06
Speaker 1: I thought she's had a show.
24:08
Speaker 4: She was on Zoe's Extraordinary Playlists then and then like
24:13
Speaker 4: a singing show.
24:15
Speaker 1: But isn't she doing Mighty Ducks? Or is that over? Now?
24:19
Speaker 4: That was only two seasons?
24:20
Speaker 1: Was it two seasons?
24:22
Speaker 4: One with Emilio Estevez, one with Josh Deamel.
24:24
Speaker 1: How long ago did that end? A year ago? Two
24:27
Speaker 1: years ago?
24:27
Speaker 4: Like a year two years?
24:29
Speaker 1: Okay?
24:31
Speaker 4: A show show, like a show that we all watch,
24:35
Speaker 4: Sex and the City.
24:38
Speaker 1: Well, they're hard to come by, you know, they are,
24:41
Speaker 1: they are, And you know what, she's probably at a
24:43
Speaker 1: point where she wants to take a little break. I
24:47
Speaker 1: mean she's been working NonStop since two thousand, right, this
24:51
Speaker 1: is twenty three years. She's like, work, work, work, work, work,
24:54
Speaker 1: maybe a year or two in between. But yeah, it's
24:56
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot, you know, you really you throw
24:59
Speaker 1: yourself into these shows. It's a lot, It's yeah.
25:03
Speaker 4: So right, we think this is hard. One hour a week?
25:07
Speaker 4: How about two hours a week?
25:09
Speaker 1: How aboutized fabulous diner show?
25:12
Speaker 4: I'm into it? Oh my gosh, I'm so into it.
25:16
Speaker 1: Huh. I think you think we could carry our own show?
25:19
Speaker 1: How about a sitcom in front of a live audience?
25:22
Speaker 4: For sure? I wouldn't be mad at any of it. Yeah,
25:26
Speaker 4: I'm into it. So the thing that, because you know,
25:29
Speaker 4: we're talking about sort of parallels, I guess this is
25:33
Speaker 4: a loose parallel, but we're really starting to see Emily
25:39
Speaker 4: being Emily and Rory not really totally on board.
25:44
Speaker 6: But that.
25:47
Speaker 4: Like the birthday party. I like Logan, no whisking plans.
25:53
Speaker 4: I like Logan in this episode, I know everyone.
25:56
Speaker 5: I have a small red flag on that scene with
25:59
Speaker 5: Logan and Emily and ri so how I find it
26:04
Speaker 5: hard to believe that Logan didn't know when Rory's birthday
26:06
Speaker 5: was agree.
26:09
Speaker 4: I thought that was weird.
26:10
Speaker 5: They've been dating for months now. How would they not
26:13
Speaker 5: know one each other's I don't know, small.
26:15
Speaker 4: Very no good good good note. It's true. I kind
26:18
Speaker 4: of thought we're and Logan being Logan, he would have
26:22
Speaker 4: had something totally planned, like he had a whole party
26:25
Speaker 4: planned for her. When she walked out arrested, right, I'm like, dude,
26:30
Speaker 4: he's gonna have a twenty first birthday plan.
26:32
Speaker 1: But Emily's just panicked, you know, she's she's in desperation mode.
26:41
Speaker 4: I love when she says, back to what you were
26:43
Speaker 4: doing and then she walks out and Rory says, hey,
26:47
Speaker 4: Grandma says right, quite comfortable together, Like I'm not. You're like, okay,
26:56
Speaker 4: this is taking a back.
26:57
Speaker 1: To point out Emily had some outstanding.
27:01
Speaker 4: Looks, great fashion.
27:03
Speaker 1: You don't want to steal your thunder on the fashion side.
27:05
Speaker 4: No, please, I'm happy you called it out.
27:08
Speaker 1: That was the nice blouse, and then Rory had the
27:12
Speaker 1: nice Hartford zoo. Yes, come on, man, there's some goods
27:19
Speaker 1: fashion going on.
27:20
Speaker 4: So I would say one of the things that I
27:22
Speaker 4: find I don't know what the word is, but I
27:26
Speaker 4: was so jarred by Lorali and Digger in bed. But
27:29
Speaker 4: I'm never jarred by Luke and Loralai in bed or
27:33
Speaker 4: Logan and Rory in bed.
27:34
Speaker 6: I'm always like, so I'm just saying, I know, I know, no, no,
27:42
Speaker 6: it's it's it's nice these two.
27:45
Speaker 1: Logan has turned out to be a pleasant surprise, you know,
27:49
Speaker 1: he's he's really turned into kind of kind of a mensch, right, Yeah.
27:54
Speaker 4: I love him. I know everyone hates him, but.
27:56
Speaker 1: Why, I don't know. He's a good guy. He's not
28:00
Speaker 1: a bad guy. He's a good guy and he loves
28:02
Speaker 1: her and he he's just struggling with his dad. You know,
28:06
Speaker 1: he's the poor little rich boy Zac line. So you're rich. Huh.
28:14
Speaker 4: The party's cue. But to get to that one, the
28:18
Speaker 4: cake tasting, I should not watch the show hungry. I
28:21
Speaker 4: was literally like, what all those cakes? And then I'm
28:27
Speaker 4: talking about sushi?
28:29
Speaker 1: I know, right, It's like every time you watch Goodfellas,
28:33
Speaker 1: I get so hungry Italian food. It's like the cooking
28:38
Speaker 1: scenes in prison. Wonderful stuff. Yeah, good, good stuff. Where
28:44
Speaker 1: are we now in the episode?
28:45
Speaker 4: Well, so we went out, so we bounced around a
28:48
Speaker 4: little bit. So we get the cake tasting and who's
28:50
Speaker 4: she gonna invite Lane Paris, et cetera. There was a
28:53
Speaker 4: little fringe there with Emily but.
28:57
Speaker 1: Oh, because she kept saying that your Asian friend.
29:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, so I don't know if she
29:04
Speaker 4: if it's meant to be cringe or if it's.
29:07
Speaker 1: It defines the generation.
29:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, yea. Then we do all the Halloween bit which
29:15
Speaker 4: we talked about. Then the Porsche, which the Porsche. Sorry
29:20
Speaker 4: to be that girl, but they're so cool driving up
29:22
Speaker 4: in the Porsche. And that's when Richard comes to the window,
29:25
Speaker 4: and I'm just.
29:26
Speaker 1: Like, that was really kind of creepily funny with his smile. Hi,
29:31
Speaker 1: I didn't interrupt anything.
29:34
Speaker 4: He goes back into Emily and calls it necking and
29:36
Speaker 4: that she's having relations with that boy. Do you think?
29:40
Speaker 4: Do you really think?
29:42
Speaker 2: God?
29:42
Speaker 1: Man, it was so good. It was so good. Richard
29:46
Speaker 1: just appears.
29:48
Speaker 4: It was good. It's all amusing it's very grandparenting.
29:52
Speaker 1: Oh ma.
29:53
Speaker 4: Then we go to suki in the kitchen with all
29:55
Speaker 4: the different sausages.
29:56
Speaker 1: Oh, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
30:01
Speaker 4: Which was good. And then the invitation came and she
30:03
Speaker 4: was sort of upset by it. I mean, it's moving
30:05
Speaker 4: this This episode really moved along the US.
30:08
Speaker 1: It really has some good connective tissue.
30:12
Speaker 4: Yeah. Then the scene with the first she gets to
30:17
Speaker 4: have hot roast and the whole thing and she's like,
30:21
Speaker 4: am I dying? And then she goes in.
30:25
Speaker 1: You know, they Emily and Richard put Justin Off on
30:28
Speaker 1: it to make it obvious that they were trying to
30:30
Speaker 1: clear the decks here for the the could be the features.
30:36
Speaker 4: The whole script was so, I hear, you have a boyfriend,
30:39
Speaker 4: Virtue is a gift? Want to give that gift? That's gone?
30:45
Speaker 4: I have no gift. And then you meet the right
30:48
Speaker 4: person and you have no gift to give, and then
30:50
Speaker 4: she says, oh, dear, do you have to give him
30:54
Speaker 4: a sweater? That scene was so hilarious.
30:59
Speaker 1: It was good.
31:00
Speaker 5: The two of them were great together.
31:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, so I love it all. And then Emily's
31:10
Speaker 4: party planning just so much party planning and we've got
31:13
Speaker 4: the sushi and the carving station, beef not chicken, the
31:17
Speaker 4: past apps, I mean, the planning. I love it.
31:20
Speaker 1: M h yeah, all good, all good.
31:24
Speaker 4: Yeah. And then the poolhouse is full of all that
31:27
Speaker 4: crap and you start to.
31:29
Speaker 1: Go Emily, work in her game, work in her game
31:35
Speaker 1: plan right, Emily just forcing Rory into the bedroom right
31:42
Speaker 1: next to Richard that they can keep tabs on her
31:46
Speaker 1: an end the sexing, the end of the sexing.
31:51
Speaker 4: The recurring mentions of the chocolate box. Also just we're
31:56
Speaker 4: so good, just she thinks chocolate boxes grow on trees.
32:00
Speaker 4: Chocolate boxes do not throw on trees. Like and then
32:04
Speaker 4: the call. I love the scene with the phone call
32:06
Speaker 4: and you're in the diner with Laura line she's first
32:09
Speaker 4: of all, the whip cream on the chocolate chip pancakes.
32:12
Speaker 4: You're like, I'm gonna be sick that.
32:15
Speaker 1: That was a really funny first line off camera watching
32:18
Speaker 1: or do that. That's gonna make you sick. You're gonna
32:21
Speaker 1: get sick. It was like Luke in a nutshell, right.
32:26
Speaker 4: And then the call and you're like the ghost.
32:28
Speaker 1: I love the relationship. It's just so open. They can
32:31
Speaker 1: say anything they want you.
32:34
Speaker 4: And then I love the call, and you're the go
32:36
Speaker 4: between and you're kind of it's almost like your tone
32:39
Speaker 4: was softer than her tone, so it's landing a little
32:42
Speaker 4: better on the lie. And then yeah, and then it.
32:45
Speaker 5: Was such a clever way to get them back together
32:48
Speaker 5: because Rory could have just called Laura Lai directly, right,
32:51
Speaker 5: she didn't. She chose to call the diner. And then
32:53
Speaker 5: you have like that Luke element, and Luke is like,
32:56
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, she said hell, and like, I just
32:57
Speaker 5: thought it was a really clever way to.
33:00
Speaker 1: And it's a way again, it's a way for lorealized
33:03
Speaker 1: character to be excited because she can't be excited on
33:06
Speaker 1: the direct phone call, but she can be excited by proxy.
33:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she called by proxy. That's exactly right, right,
33:13
Speaker 4: and you were able to sort of tone it down
33:15
Speaker 4: just enough that it sounded right.
33:19
Speaker 1: He wanted to get them back together.
33:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want a chocolate box. I want a chocolate right,
33:23
Speaker 4: right right? What is it? Chocolate box? By the way,
33:26
Speaker 4: is it like a.
33:28
Speaker 5: A box made out of chocolate?
33:30
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know.
33:33
Speaker 1: Apparently filled with high end chocolates. Sounds wonderful.
33:39
Speaker 4: So yeah, I would like a chocolate box myself, then
33:43
Speaker 4: then a little bit more of the four h three
33:45
Speaker 4: A M see a little more of that, and then
33:49
Speaker 4: the party. And it's interesting. I actually was surprised that
33:55
Speaker 4: Richard didn't even fake it, that he really just bailed
34:02
Speaker 4: the party. I thought, you know, hmmm, I don't know.
34:06
Speaker 5: I mean, it shows there was there was really a
34:08
Speaker 5: disconnect between Richard and Emily, because Richard is starting to
34:11
Speaker 5: see the flaws in their plans, but Emily is still
34:15
Speaker 5: liked like she's doing the daar thing. She even says
34:21
Speaker 5: like there's nothing wrong until the sex thing came up.
34:25
Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong, and so Emily is like perfectly happy
34:27
Speaker 5: with the way things are. So it really showed how
34:31
Speaker 5: Richard and Emily hadn't really come together yet on that issue.
34:34
Speaker 1: And you can't imagine Richard failing at executing a plan, right, Yeah,
34:40
Speaker 1: he's so strategic and he's so smart and he's sow
34:42
Speaker 1: this and it's he's accepting defeats. So it's a crushing
34:47
Speaker 1: blow to him. So yeah, I know, I buy it.
34:50
Speaker 1: I buy it. You know. I want to throw a
34:51
Speaker 1: flag on the party. I want to throw a flag
34:53
Speaker 1: on the party. One of the entrances, the second time
34:58
Speaker 1: the maid open the door and let that couple and
35:01
Speaker 1: they were holding some kind of silver wrapped gift or something.
35:04
Speaker 1: They didn't even stop and acknowledge Emily that the extras
35:08
Speaker 1: just sort of walked right in.
35:10
Speaker 4: Oh, they don't even say hello, they.
35:11
Speaker 1: Don't even make eye They kind of make eye contact her,
35:13
Speaker 1: but and she said, hello, it's the Klingman's or something,
35:17
Speaker 1: and they just kind of motor right byer. I just stop. Boy,
35:20
Speaker 1: they needed to shoot another take, yeah, to make it
35:24
Speaker 1: a little more believable. But that's the only flag I
35:26
Speaker 1: have on the park.
35:28
Speaker 4: I had a little bit there was some confusion at
35:31
Speaker 4: the door. Yeah, yeah, Like I was like, oh, the
35:35
Speaker 4: door's hectic. Yeah, I had.
35:38
Speaker 5: I had a flag on when that first couple walks
35:41
Speaker 5: up to Emily and the woman says, oh, I'm sorry,
35:43
Speaker 5: we're a little bit early, and then Emily like walks
35:45
Speaker 5: away from them and makes a snide comment. But there
35:48
Speaker 5: were the place was already full of people like they were.
35:51
Speaker 5: They were at the bar getting their drinks, they were
35:53
Speaker 5: sitting down eating food. So I don't know why the
35:56
Speaker 5: people weren't early. Everybody else was already there.
35:58
Speaker 1: It was kind of a little too populated that. But
36:00
Speaker 1: those lines are yeah, yeah, yeah, those lines were great.
36:03
Speaker 1: I mean disgusting, right.
36:07
Speaker 4: They should have brought a sleeping back and.
36:09
Speaker 1: Just bring sleep and to sleepover last night.
36:16
Speaker 4: The drink the gross pink and taste pink.
36:21
Speaker 1: That's my favorite line. Drink the drink, drink, the drinking
36:26
Speaker 1: that Yeah, timing was perfect, great gag.
36:32
Speaker 4: And then I like the sweetness but yet awkwardness of
36:37
Speaker 4: when Lorelei sees Rory trying so hard Hay birthday girl,
36:42
Speaker 4: and like, you know, Paris knows the whole situation, but
36:46
Speaker 4: it's just awkward but sweet and also potential. I was like,
36:54
Speaker 4: there's potential, this could be things could be getting.
36:58
Speaker 1: It was a real real tease. Yeah, I wanted Tom
37:02
Speaker 1: back together too, But in what form she What would
37:08
Speaker 1: have made you happy? Amy would have made you happy
37:12
Speaker 1: she was back at Yale? Would it have made you
37:15
Speaker 1: happy if she moved back in with Lorelei? What scenario
37:18
Speaker 1: would have made you happy? What are the fans hoping for?
37:21
Speaker 1: What are they clamoring for?
37:23
Speaker 4: I asked such a good question because I'm sort of
37:26
Speaker 4: pleased with the progress we're making. I don't look at
37:29
Speaker 4: this as a negative at all. I feel like we're
37:32
Speaker 4: making a lot of progress. I feel like Emily and
37:34
Speaker 4: Richard are definitely setting themselves up for failure, like it's
37:40
Speaker 4: gonna blow up soon enough.
37:43
Speaker 1: You know. I just had a thought. What we're watching
37:48
Speaker 1: now and probably season six and seven should have been
37:51
Speaker 1: the episodes, the Netflix episodes. I still think, and this
37:56
Speaker 1: may sound a little far afield or controversial, but I
38:02
Speaker 1: think getting her off to college was hard for the audience.
38:08
Speaker 1: It was hard for me to break those two up
38:11
Speaker 1: because that's the core of the show, right He's toured together.
38:15
Speaker 1: We count on their banner every single week in those
38:21
Speaker 1: sets in the diner, in their house, in the gazebo,
38:25
Speaker 1: and around the town at Babets, at MS Patty's, at Dozy's.
38:30
Speaker 1: We want them together. To get her off to Yale,
38:34
Speaker 1: that was a tough one. I remember I chafed at that,
38:38
Speaker 1: but then it turned out to be this really great
38:40
Speaker 1: thing and it shut me up because it was just like, oh,
38:43
Speaker 1: that works. They can be on calls, they can visit
38:45
Speaker 1: each other on weekends. That's fine. It's all working for me.
38:48
Speaker 1: So it took on a whole energy and it kind
38:51
Speaker 1: of expanded the universe of the show. But this dropping
38:57
Speaker 1: out of Yale and moving into Richard. I think I
39:01
Speaker 1: don't know, and now I understand, even though this episode
39:05
Speaker 1: was a delight to behold, I don't know if if
39:09
Speaker 1: it was a good move to to drop her out
39:12
Speaker 1: of Yale, you know what I mean. I'm just gonna
39:15
Speaker 1: say that.
39:15
Speaker 4: Right because it took so much for us to get
39:17
Speaker 4: used to her being there.
39:18
Speaker 1: Correct, now that was that was a big flex uh
39:24
Speaker 1: to lift that and we got settled in and now
39:28
Speaker 1: we got to do it again, which I maybe is
39:30
Speaker 1: the secret of drama. I don't know, but it's like, wow,
39:34
Speaker 1: now they're not Now she's not in Yale. None of
39:36
Speaker 1: the dreams are coming true. It seems like a declining
39:40
Speaker 1: yield curve. Right. If we're gonna speak in charts, like
39:48
Speaker 1: what are we getting out of this? It's like what
39:51
Speaker 1: what we invested in? And what's the payoff? Here? Where's
39:54
Speaker 1: the payoff? And you can give us great episodes based
39:58
Speaker 1: on all this dysfunction and all this declining yield curve,
40:02
Speaker 1: but where's the ultimate path? Where's this going? So I
40:05
Speaker 1: think that's maybe the reason the fans have a problem
40:08
Speaker 1: with season six and season seven. And I'm beginning to
40:12
Speaker 1: see their point I'm actually being to see their point
40:14
Speaker 1: of view.
40:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, what were you saying, Susan, I was going to
40:18
Speaker 5: see This episode really is kind of a turning point
40:20
Speaker 5: because from the beginning of season six to this point,
40:23
Speaker 5: it's it's been like a chug uphill, like how long
40:27
Speaker 5: is she going to stay away from Yale? And then
40:29
Speaker 5: we had the Baptism episode where she connects with Lorelei again,
40:33
Speaker 5: but it doesn't go very well. And so this episode
40:36
Speaker 5: we finally made some progress where she's reconnecting with Lorali.
40:39
Speaker 5: It's a generally positive experience, and so now we start
40:42
Speaker 5: to think, Okay, once she makes amends with laurele I,
40:47
Speaker 5: that's going to get us more on the path to
40:50
Speaker 5: maybe getting her back to Yale and we can get
40:52
Speaker 5: back to where we're all more comfortable.
40:55
Speaker 1: So maybe it's maybe it's just a fan preference of
41:00
Speaker 1: whether they want the banter and the comedy more than
41:03
Speaker 1: they want the dramatics. Okay, maybe that's where a lot
41:09
Speaker 1: of the fan base falls on the side of can
41:13
Speaker 1: we just have these two back together making us laugh
41:15
Speaker 1: and making us feel good and have that connection and
41:19
Speaker 1: have that hope. Yeah, this can last forever, even though
41:23
Speaker 1: we know it's not gonna last forever. It can't last forever,
41:25
Speaker 1: but it's television, for God's sake, It's television, and you
41:29
Speaker 1: can do that on television.
41:31
Speaker 4: Is it possible that the fans, all of us fans,
41:35
Speaker 4: h just get twisted when the characters don't act like
41:41
Speaker 4: we expect them to act, or we think that they
41:44
Speaker 4: should act like.
41:47
Speaker 1: Well, the writing, the writing is so good most of
41:50
Speaker 1: the time that the Palatinas can get away with anything,
41:53
Speaker 1: right m hm, no, darn under sure entertaining, But then
41:57
Speaker 1: it's like, what is happening with the narratives? What's happening
42:00
Speaker 1: with all these themes that were established and now they're
42:04
Speaker 1: just broken apart into a million pieces, and how do
42:07
Speaker 1: we get them back together? So that's also useful as
42:10
Speaker 1: a dramatist, but for comedic purposes and for just plain old,
42:16
Speaker 1: good old, feel good purposes, I think it's working against
42:20
Speaker 1: the show. I think maybe that's what the fan base
42:25
Speaker 1: is chafing at season six because of these reasons. What
42:31
Speaker 1: do you think?
42:33
Speaker 5: I think that the first four seasons there's a certain
42:38
Speaker 5: feeling about them that goes away in the second half
42:44
Speaker 5: of the series. And so this episode, for me, at
42:47
Speaker 5: least kind of hints at that the town feeling and
42:51
Speaker 5: that kind of the warm, fuzzy Gilmore feeling, you know, visually,
42:57
Speaker 5: it's fall, it's Halloween, and so I think I totally
43:03
Speaker 5: just lost my train of thought. But I think people
43:06
Speaker 5: definitely feel like in the second half of the show
43:10
Speaker 5: they're missing that warm, fuzzy feeling that was so prevalent
43:14
Speaker 5: in the first half of the show.
43:16
Speaker 1: There's there's there's so much more hope in the first
43:19
Speaker 1: four or five seasons than the tail end. Right, the
43:22
Speaker 1: hope seems to be waning. It all seems to be
43:25
Speaker 1: sort of disintegrating before our eyes. The dreams are fading,
43:29
Speaker 1: the dreams aren't being realized, and it's just it's you know,
43:32
Speaker 1: it's that, it's sort of that it's kind of a
43:34
Speaker 1: natural dramatic arc, you know, and other and some of
43:39
Speaker 1: my favorite films that I that that I have, that
43:44
Speaker 1: I watched over and over and over again deal with
43:47
Speaker 1: the It's sort of like the Rise and the Fall.
43:50
Speaker 1: It's like that up and down.
43:56
Speaker 4: I think the thing that they hate about season six
44:00
Speaker 4: m it's not yet it's in one or two.
44:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I'm taking my cans off. I'm taking the cancer.
44:09
Speaker 4: No, you don't have to. You don't have to because
44:11
Speaker 4: I won't reveal it. But my gut feeling is the thing.
44:16
Speaker 4: And I actually, when I watched it the first and
44:19
Speaker 4: second time, was not as upset by this thing coming
44:23
Speaker 4: as other people were in R for Me Season six. Though.
44:28
Speaker 4: The reason it gets so dragged is because of what's coming.
44:32
Speaker 4: I think in two much Okay, I don't think we're
44:37
Speaker 4: quite there.
44:38
Speaker 1: I will contact an attorney and I will get back
44:41
Speaker 1: to you.
44:41
Speaker 4: I'm really interested in the way Scott reacts to what's coming.
44:49
Speaker 4: I think that's what everybody wants to see. I think that, yeah,
44:52
Speaker 4: there's going to be a lot of interest in seeing
44:56
Speaker 4: how you feel about it, because yeah, god, oh god yeah,
45:01
Speaker 4: And if you are.
45:02
Speaker 1: Like WT, there's a high likelihood of a couple of w.
45:10
Speaker 4: T all right, a couple a couple more things before
45:14
Speaker 4: a couple more things before we end this. I actually,
45:16
Speaker 4: first of all, everyone, when you're like, what's.
45:18
Speaker 1: The da r oh, that was great.
45:22
Speaker 4: And when Laura la I says, oh, she runs around
45:25
Speaker 4: with the bad girls, I actually laughed out loud. And
45:28
Speaker 4: she taught us about kilpen poppers and buffalo wings. But
45:34
Speaker 4: the most special moment for me in this episode is
45:38
Speaker 4: two things. One we've sort of talked about in the truck.
45:40
Speaker 4: You can pull sausage links out of me. But when
45:43
Speaker 4: Rory says, this is my soon to be stepfather, and
45:47
Speaker 4: when you give the necklace that was your mother's, it's like.
45:51
Speaker 1: Wow, right, right, finally a scene between those two that's
45:56
Speaker 1: tender and sweet, right.
45:58
Speaker 4: And and what we want. That's what we are used
46:01
Speaker 4: to between them, that's what we want. And so I
46:05
Speaker 4: thought that was very very sweet with the juxtaposition of
46:09
Speaker 4: the not sweet scene when Emily sees the engagement ring
46:15
Speaker 4: that tracks also to the characters, but it was just like, oh,
46:22
Speaker 4: I guess congratulations are in order, Like it's just so yeah.
46:28
Speaker 1: I thought. I thought Kelly Bishop was just outstanding in
46:33
Speaker 1: this episode. Ed Herman outstanding in that scene in his
46:40
Speaker 1: study gut wrenching, just gut wrenching, you means when being
46:45
Speaker 1: and avoiding the party forty.
46:47
Speaker 4: Thousand dollars Sex House, and Emily says, I was on
46:56
Speaker 4: board to go with the plan. So that was interesting too.
46:59
Speaker 4: That really was Richard that pivoted from the plan. We
47:02
Speaker 4: understand it. I understand it. His granddaughter was just like.
47:08
Speaker 1: She got insulted, you know, Emily got insulted when Richard
47:12
Speaker 1: was describing what she exactly she does it. What Rory's
47:15
Speaker 1: doing now is right, right, just so much more potential
47:20
Speaker 1: than that, you know, isn't isn't he isn't exactly wrong? Right?
47:25
Speaker 1: But why, you know, why say something like that in
47:28
Speaker 1: front of your wife, who, yeah, he justly supported and
47:34
Speaker 1: yeah been you know, the champion of her husband all
47:37
Speaker 1: these years and has made their lives fly. Yeah, not
47:42
Speaker 1: getting the credit in the crucial moment, which is kind of.
47:45
Speaker 4: The last ten minutes of the episode is so it's
47:49
Speaker 4: just amazing. I mean, the episode was great leading up
47:51
Speaker 4: to it, but it was lighter and fun and all
47:54
Speaker 4: the things, and then you get this last ten minutes
47:56
Speaker 4: where you're like wow.
47:58
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, hmmm. The cake cutting was devastating.
48:02
Speaker 4: It was so sad.
48:04
Speaker 1: I just wrote sad because here's Rory entering this world,
48:08
Speaker 1: being completely celebrated by this world where she doesn't necessarily
48:15
Speaker 1: feel like she belongs, yeah, and her mother knowing she
48:19
Speaker 1: doesn't belong, And it's gut wrenching to watch that.
48:23
Speaker 4: I wanted her so badly to be like mom, Mom,
48:27
Speaker 4: come up here.
48:27
Speaker 3: Mom.
48:28
Speaker 1: That's like watching somebody you love stuck in a you know,
48:33
Speaker 1: a raging river and you can't save them, and there
48:37
Speaker 1: they are, you know, and I'm glad they left. And
48:41
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that she said let's get out of here.
48:44
Speaker 1: And he was like.
48:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he says, exactly the right thing. You can
48:48
Speaker 4: pull sausages out of me, yeah, which is the same
48:51
Speaker 4: thing we've seen consistently from Luke, like I've got your back.
48:55
Speaker 4: That's why. Look, I know we all had the argument
48:58
Speaker 4: about it, but that's why she proposed. This is the
49:01
Speaker 4: whole thing. She realizes, like this guy continually as my back,
49:07
Speaker 4: this is so strong, is so puts me first, over
49:11
Speaker 4: and over and over again.
49:14
Speaker 5: Well, that's what I loved about Luke in this episode
49:16
Speaker 5: was that he managed to support both of them, like
49:19
Speaker 5: he supported Rory and he supported Lorlai, but he managed
49:23
Speaker 5: to do it without taking sides, which I really enjoyed.
49:28
Speaker 5: So I thought this was a great episode for Luke.
49:32
Speaker 1: All right, so uh, let's let's read it. Susanne.
49:37
Speaker 4: I have between two things.
49:41
Speaker 1: Let's do favorite lines. Do you want to do favorite lines?
49:44
Speaker 4: Yeah?
49:45
Speaker 5: I wanted to just call out one little piece of
49:48
Speaker 5: writing that was so subtle and you had to really
49:51
Speaker 5: be paying attention to hear it.
49:54
Speaker 4: But when Paris was.
49:57
Speaker 5: Talking about her new you know, editorship, and she made
50:01
Speaker 5: the comment, I had to I had to.
50:04
Speaker 4: Pull it up.
50:04
Speaker 5: She says, the last person that ran the shop was
50:06
Speaker 5: too busy ironing his petticoat to put out a decent paper.
50:10
Speaker 4: Well, she was talking about Doyle.
50:11
Speaker 5: He was the last editor, right, well, and he agreed
50:15
Speaker 5: with her and.
50:15
Speaker 4: Didn't even realize that she was totally slammed. How about
50:18
Speaker 4: the joke, like I was hilarious last year, I was
50:21
Speaker 4: sleeping the editor and now I am. And then she's like,
50:25
Speaker 4: could you come in a little bit quicker? Could you
50:29
Speaker 4: come in a little bit? I mean, there's a thousand
50:36
Speaker 4: good lines in this one, a lot of favorite lines.
50:38
Speaker 5: I have multiple ones.
50:40
Speaker 1: Okay, you get one. We'll do a couple of rounds.
50:42
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Round one, Say what's your favorite line?
50:45
Speaker 5: I think my first one was when Lorelai and Richard
50:48
Speaker 5: were on the front porch and Richard's.
50:50
Speaker 4: Talking and he's not getting the feedback that he.
50:53
Speaker 5: Wants Laura I, and he says, aren't you listening to me?
50:55
Speaker 1: And she says, uh no, Amy favorite line? Round one?
51:00
Speaker 4: I said a bunch of mine, but.
51:05
Speaker 1: Pick one for round one.
51:07
Speaker 4: I think it's the reverend you've got. I hear you
51:11
Speaker 4: have a boyfriend, crazy feelings. What your virtue is a gift?
51:16
Speaker 4: Once you give it, it's gone no gift to give.
51:18
Speaker 4: Oh dear, oh dear, indeed, that old thing.
51:23
Speaker 1: Round one. Favorite line for me is just drink your drink.
51:26
Speaker 1: Drink your drink, or drink the drink.
51:29
Speaker 4: Drink is disgusting. I got a dog what that was
51:36
Speaker 4: when they were really bonding again?
51:39
Speaker 1: All right, so rating, what are you going to raise?
51:42
Speaker 4: Please? I'm afraid someone's going to take mine.
51:45
Speaker 1: Then what we're rating it around?
51:49
Speaker 4: Takes my my sausages ten out of ten sausages.
51:53
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna throw a flag on you. That's a violation.
51:56
Speaker 1: I called on Suzanne first, and you just tried to.
52:01
Speaker 4: I didn't even sages.
52:04
Speaker 1: Do you want to use the sausages? Were you intent amy?
52:09
Speaker 1: Were you intending to my cereal?
52:11
Speaker 4: I was not intending to use sage.
52:13
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're in the but we're still going to
52:15
Speaker 1: be sanctioned half of use ahead.
52:18
Speaker 5: I was going to rank it nine point nine chocolate boxes.
52:22
Speaker 1: Nice.
52:23
Speaker 4: We need to have a party. Where everyone gets chocolate boxes.
52:27
Speaker 1: Amy, what's your rating?
52:29
Speaker 4: Ten out of ten sausages? I love this episode. I
52:31
Speaker 4: don't really have much criticism.
52:32
Speaker 1: What kind of sausages Louisiana sweet?
52:34
Speaker 4: What I wish I could remember all those?
