- 1:37Speaker 1: just taking the world by storm. And we'll get into
- 1:40Speaker 1: all We're going to get into all that. But what'd
- 1:43Speaker 1: you think of this episode? Emily? In Wonderland air date
- 1:46Speaker 1: April twenty sixty, two thousand and one, Roy takes her
- 1:49Speaker 1: grandmother around Stars Hollow for a day and she's horrified
- 1:52Speaker 1: to see where Laura, Lie and Rory first lived. Directed
- 1:56Speaker 1: by Perry Lang, written by Linda Guzik and John Stevens.
- 2:00Speaker 1: I enjoyed this episode. I have to say it was great.
- 2:04Speaker 3: I had my wife giving me a background the entire time,
- 2:07Speaker 3: you know, because I haven't seen every episode like she has,
- 2:10Speaker 3: right right, So I said, oh, and this.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Is what's going on here and everything. I'm like, okay,
- 2:15Speaker 4: she's actually in the house watching Gilmore Girls right now.
- 2:17Speaker 1: So gosh, yeah, it was a nice episode. It was
- 2:20Speaker 1: a really nice journey through Laurla and Rory's past in
- 2:26Speaker 1: a very clever way, and a very shocking scene where
- 2:30Speaker 1: Emily and we'll get into it, where Emily finally sees
- 2:33Speaker 1: where Laurel, I and Rory first had their first kind
- 2:39Speaker 1: of place and Stars Hollow, and what a reaction that was. Man.
- 2:43Speaker 1: All right, So we're sitting here Friday night dinner. Rory
- 2:46Speaker 1: asked Emily for family baby pictures, and we find out
- 2:50Speaker 1: that Laura I, who has a nickname of a big
- 2:54Speaker 1: head when she was a child because her head was enlarged.
- 3:01Speaker 4: She's got big hair, She's got big hair for sure, but.
- 3:06Speaker 1: We learned that she burned all of her baby pictures
- 3:09Speaker 1: because her head was too big, and that's why there
- 3:11Speaker 1: are no photographs of a young baby Larela or even
- 3:15Speaker 1: a Talibar. They have a furniture discussion, they talk about
- 3:21Speaker 1: the chairs. That's when Rory mentions Kim's antiques and Stars Hollow.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Emily becomes interested suddenly in checking that out because she
- 3:33Speaker 1: can't she can't get any good antiques in Connecticut. She's
- 3:38Speaker 1: she's she's out of luck. And Lorela attempts to talk
- 3:43Speaker 1: to Emily out of her curiosity over that particular store,
- 3:47Speaker 1: like she doesn't want Emily coming to Stars Hollow. Tara,
- 3:52Speaker 1: what do you think about this scene?
- 3:53Speaker 5: I feel like Emily and miss Kim could be great friends,
- 3:55Speaker 5: to be honest with you, that was my first thought.
- 3:59Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, I love the scene at the
- 4:02Speaker 5: dinner table, and I think that it was the first
- 4:04Speaker 5: time that we're going to see Emily really see their
- 4:09Speaker 5: life in Stars Hollow, right, and it's set up. It's
- 4:14Speaker 5: the setup to a big storyline coming.
- 4:17Speaker 1: It Isn't it amazing? Though? After all these years, I
- 4:21Speaker 1: mean sixteen years, and has she ever been to Stars Hollow?
- 4:27Speaker 1: Do you think that's odd?
- 4:28Speaker 4: Right?
- 4:29Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 4:30Speaker 5: I mean it's also there are there are parts where
- 4:32Speaker 5: I'm like the inconsistencies of it a little bit and this,
- 4:35Speaker 5: and Susanna and I get into this in our episode
- 4:38Speaker 5: the town Meeting episodes, but you know, like I don't
- 4:41Speaker 5: understand when she moved into that shed. We'll get there,
- 4:44Speaker 5: but like it didn't seem consistent with when Laura l
- 4:47Speaker 5: I moved out.
- 4:48Speaker 6: So it was just interesting. Yeah, it was a little interesting.
- 4:51Speaker 1: How like.
- 4:54Speaker 5: Did she move out the second like she got pregnant,
- 4:56Speaker 5: when she had the baby?
- 4:57Speaker 1: You know, I.
- 4:59Speaker 6: Didn't really know the history there right by.
- 5:02Speaker 3: By episode nineteen right season in the first season. So
- 5:07Speaker 3: I'm always wondering how much the writers like think about
- 5:14Speaker 3: the actually all of the different backstory, things that wouldn't
- 5:18Speaker 3: you know, that don't exist in real life, but that
- 5:20Speaker 3: need to exist in order to build the characters right,
- 5:23Speaker 3: and and how much like and now they've gotten nineteen
- 5:26Speaker 3: episodes in that's a lot of writing.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Well, I think I think they probably do plan for
- 5:31Speaker 1: a lot. You know, they'll they'll plan out a couple
- 5:35Speaker 1: of seasons out and then they'll do a backstory thing.
- 5:37Speaker 1: But there's always things that come up that bite you, like,
- 5:41Speaker 1: oh god, we didn't there's the whole world right, right right.
- 5:46Speaker 1: No matter how thorough you are, right, no matter how
- 5:50Speaker 1: large your bible is, your writer's bible is, there's always
- 5:55Speaker 1: going to be something that like, oh, no, what are
- 5:57Speaker 1: we going to do about this situation? Because we didn't
- 5:59Speaker 1: come right.
- 6:00Speaker 3: That she never would have been there at all. I mean,
- 6:02Speaker 3: you know, I know some people don't see their parents
- 6:05Speaker 3: very often, but I also thought when I saw you know,
- 6:10Speaker 3: you know, it's like when you have people come over
- 6:12Speaker 3: and you go, oh, sorry, the place is a mess.
- 6:15Speaker 3: You know, you know, please forgive me, you know, don't
- 6:19Speaker 3: worry about that. And of course when you go over
- 6:21Speaker 3: to someone's house, you're never sitting there unless their house
- 6:23Speaker 3: is a real mess.
- 6:25Speaker 4: You're not sitting there walking around going like oh geez mes, yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 3: I mean very most you're like, well kind of weird furniture.
- 6:32Speaker 3: But I thought, like, I thought that for being a
- 6:36Speaker 3: single mother, their house is really cute. And you know,
- 6:41Speaker 3: maybe it's not all the finest appliances and stuff like that,
- 6:44Speaker 3: but I was thinking, like, I'd be proud of this place.
- 6:46Speaker 3: It's really kitchy and they have a lot of you know,
- 6:50Speaker 3: cute items, and I thought it was kind of a
- 6:54Speaker 3: nice house, to be honest with you.
- 6:56Speaker 1: So it's a nice little house for two people. That's perfect.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It is kind of perfect. Yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 3: I mean, obviously she's coming from being super wealthy and
- 7:03Speaker 3: everything like that, but you know, I'm like, kind of
- 7:06Speaker 3: kind of a nice house. I'm impressive for a woman
- 7:10Speaker 3: off being a single.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Mother basically and a new town and all that stuff.
- 7:14Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, yeah, would you rather live in a
- 7:16Speaker 1: mansion with all the stress or in a cute little
- 7:18Speaker 1: house in a nice town with none.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Honestly, me and my wife say this all the time.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Little house, big.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Life, Right there, you go, that's what they have.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:28Speaker 1: So, so Emily and Rory make plans to visit Stars
- 7:32Speaker 1: Hollow on Saturday. She's going to put off some studying
- 7:35Speaker 1: and Laurel I have some pretty funny moments about how
- 7:39Speaker 1: she's not going to be available Saturday, and Emily says, well,
- 7:43Speaker 1: nobody really asked you to jump? Why do you think, Well,
- 7:51Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious why Emily is so eager to see
- 7:54Speaker 1: Stars hollow. She wants to spend time with her granddaughter.
- 7:57Speaker 1: It's not it's not Star's hollow. It's it's getting to
- 8:01Speaker 1: know Rory. Right, she gets to relive, She gets another
- 8:06Speaker 1: bite at the apple, as it were, to like not
- 8:09Speaker 1: screw up, you know what I mean, Like like the
- 8:14Speaker 1: way she did with Laurel I. Now she's got a
- 8:16Speaker 1: she's got a second chance with with Rory to establish
- 8:19Speaker 1: a relationship.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Makes you wonder why at that time, you know that
- 8:24Speaker 3: she's like so curious about it, re establishing the relationship.
- 8:31Speaker 3: And I also think it's funny how hard she is
- 8:32Speaker 3: on Laurel I as well, considering she's trying to connect
- 8:36Speaker 3: with her granddaughter.
- 8:37Speaker 4: And then she's like, but you can bug off.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, in her mind, Laurel is just a lost
- 8:42Speaker 1: cause she knows she's not going to have a relationship.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Whether there's too much water under that bridge. And I mean,
- 8:49Speaker 1: that's at least the impression we're getting at this point,
- 8:52Speaker 1: and that's coming to the end of season one, and
- 8:57Speaker 1: that's where obviously the right is taking us, and that's
- 9:01Speaker 1: where it should take us, because there's then then you
- 9:04Speaker 1: have to come back from that. So now we're in
- 9:07Speaker 1: the diner. A lot of a lot of diner stuff,
- 9:10Speaker 1: a lot of Luke, Rachel, Laureleye stuff in this episode,
- 9:14Speaker 1: right right. And Rachel's so nice, you know, she wants
- 9:22Speaker 1: to be buddies with the Laurel I and here I
- 9:25Speaker 1: took a picture of you two and you know, sitting
- 9:28Speaker 1: there on the bench.
- 9:29Speaker 6: Just really awkward, like, hey, let's take a picture of
- 9:31Speaker 6: you with my ex.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And then I'm going to give you a blow. You
- 9:38Speaker 1: not nice here? Remember it? He's mine now? So yeah,
- 9:44Speaker 1: And then she talks about the dragonfly and she took
- 9:47Speaker 1: a picture of dragonfly in and Laura they make a
- 9:49Speaker 1: date to go see it. Luke has a little bit
- 9:53Speaker 1: of a problem with it. I guess not much, but
- 9:55Speaker 1: it's just like whatever, And it's really just setting up
- 9:58Speaker 1: that scene in the in the storage room for later.
- 10:01Speaker 1: But what'd you guys think of this scene?
- 10:05Speaker 4: Well, awkward, that's the impression I got. I was thinking.
- 10:08Speaker 4: It made me think of It's not exactly the same situation.
- 10:11Speaker 3: But there's that. There's a video I saw one time.
- 10:15Speaker 3: It was like a comedy video, and it was like
- 10:18Speaker 3: having a conversation with your platonic friends. This guy having
- 10:21Speaker 3: a conversation with this girl and he's and she's like.
- 10:24Speaker 4: How you been.
- 10:25Speaker 3: He's like, oh, good, good, you know, I've been great,
- 10:26Speaker 3: you know, just friends. And then he's like how you been.
- 10:29Speaker 3: She goes, well, Todd and I broke up, and then
- 10:32Speaker 3: you know, oh, he says he just got into a
- 10:35Speaker 3: relationship and how great it is. And then he asks
- 10:37Speaker 3: her and how she goes, well, Todd and I broke up,
- 10:40Speaker 3: and then his whole life crumbles before him because this
- 10:42Speaker 3: is the friend that was always they were just platonic
- 10:45Speaker 3: and they never you know.
- 10:47Speaker 4: Connected like that.
- 10:49Speaker 3: And she's saying, like, I just A'm thinking about getting
- 10:51Speaker 3: out and being wild and everything, and he's like, oh god, right,
- 10:56Speaker 3: I think that. I mean, is that sort of tension that,
- 11:01Speaker 3: if you will, that sexual tension between Laura Li and
- 11:04Speaker 3: Luke is that going all the way from the very
- 11:06Speaker 3: beginning of season one?
- 11:10Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, basically yeah, but they're not acting on it,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and they had a couple of chances and they're just
- 11:15Speaker 1: not going to act on it right now, and everybody's
- 11:18Speaker 1: going their separate ways. It's like, oh, well, but I
- 11:20Speaker 1: mean it's like it's a small town. You really want
- 11:22Speaker 1: to get involved with the diner owner, you know, yeah,
- 11:25Speaker 1: that kind of thing, even.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Though it's pretty he's pretty cool, you know.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but still it's like, got it. You want to
- 11:32Speaker 1: you go there every day with your daughter, You want
- 11:34Speaker 1: to have food day, you want to relax. You don't
- 11:36Speaker 1: want to have all that stuff. I don't blame her,
- 11:39Speaker 1: you know, for for being so cautious.
- 11:42Speaker 6: She also can't help it.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Can't help what because she's addicted to coffee?
- 11:47Speaker 6: No, that she has a crash on Luke, Like she
- 11:50Speaker 6: doesn't want to admit it.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Yeah, but that but but if they're together, if they
- 11:53Speaker 1: get together, that completely changes the relationship.
- 11:56Speaker 5: No, I know, but I feel like she has these
- 11:57Speaker 5: moments like talking to Rachel, where she's always wondering, like
- 12:01Speaker 5: what Luke's like in a relationship.
- 12:02Speaker 6: That's how I took it.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Right, right anyway, nice dynamics. I think Rachel's a pretty
- 12:10Speaker 1: appealing character, right, She's very likable. You really believe that
- 12:15Speaker 1: she grew up there and she was one of those there.
- 12:19Speaker 1: There's always a subset of people in towns like that
- 12:21Speaker 1: that want to get the heck out of there, that's
- 12:24Speaker 1: stifled by the place, and they want to go out
- 12:26Speaker 1: and see the world. And she's one of them. Right now,
- 12:31Speaker 1: we're at the end. Very funny stuff here. Anytime you
- 12:35Speaker 1: have a Max Perlock as Rune, it's going to be
- 12:39Speaker 1: a good scene. So he's in the lobby, we see
- 12:42Speaker 1: Roon again, and he's staying with Jackson. And you know,
- 12:45Speaker 1: Suki doesn't know how to tell Laurelai this. They don't
- 12:49Speaker 1: know how to tell Laurala I that that run is
- 12:51Speaker 1: in town staying with Jackson, but that that Rune needs
- 12:54Speaker 1: a place to stay and he needs a job and
- 12:58Speaker 1: this is all falling of Laura. What did you guys
- 13:00Speaker 1: think of this?
- 13:01Speaker 5: I mean, Kendall, do you know what happened with Ruin?
- 13:04Speaker 5: Did Mika explain this to you?
- 13:05Speaker 3: She gave me a little bit of the backstory. But
- 13:07Speaker 3: I know that he's kind of uh not bad apples
- 13:11Speaker 3: not the right word, but a challenging character.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Yeah, but can.
- 13:16Speaker 4: You explain why he's challenging that? That part I didn't get.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Is he just like, well they went on a date together,
- 13:24Speaker 1: Well they were not.
- 13:25Speaker 5: They was kind of like forced because Suki and Jackson
- 13:27Speaker 5: were on a date. And then he pulled Jackson aside
- 13:30Speaker 5: and was like, I can't date her. She's tall, like
- 13:32Speaker 5: right in Laurel's house and am amazon. And he was
- 13:40Speaker 5: just rude throughout the whole dinner and just make comments
- 13:42Speaker 5: like why did you set me up with her? Right?
- 13:46Speaker 1: Basically he was not appreciative of who he was having
- 13:53Speaker 1: a date with. He just he didn't say it. He
- 13:56Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm out, I can't do this. It
- 13:59Speaker 1: was really funny.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Anything ever come up with them? Like do they ever
- 14:02Speaker 4: go on another date?
- 14:05Speaker 1: Oh? No?
- 14:05Speaker 6: It was like stay far away. So that's why when
- 14:07Speaker 6: he comes up, you're like, why is he here?
- 14:10Speaker 1: Right to work?
- 14:13Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 14:14Speaker 4: Yeah, where did he come from?
- 14:16Speaker 6: Jackson's cousin?
- 14:18Speaker 4: Right, and he doesn't have a job, he doesn't have
- 14:19Speaker 4: a place to stay.
- 14:21Speaker 6: No, he was visiting.
- 14:22Speaker 3: He wasn't exactly a catch either, No, no, yeah, to
- 14:27Speaker 3: say the least.
- 14:29Speaker 1: The thing I love about the Palatinos is they they
- 14:32Speaker 1: know families very well because there's always somebody, there's always
- 14:37Speaker 1: a cousin. You know, you get Lizen TJ right, you
- 14:45Speaker 1: get now, you got roun you get Jackson with a roon.
- 14:49Speaker 1: It's just so good.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Family to which cousin is that?
- 14:52Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everybody has one, you know, there's one or two,
- 14:58Speaker 1: there's no question about it.
- 15:00Speaker 3: It's so weird thinking about it now with having a
- 15:03Speaker 3: baby and then my brother and my siblings and my
- 15:06Speaker 3: wife's siblings having kids and stuff, all the cousins, and
- 15:08Speaker 3: I'm like, my god, which one of this generation is
- 15:12Speaker 3: going to be that cousin?
- 15:17Speaker 4: It's not mine?
- 15:20Speaker 1: All right? So Emily, Emily's now and stars hollow and
- 15:24Speaker 1: she's wearing she's she's wearing glarelized socks and sneakers and
- 15:33Speaker 1: and it's the only way she can she can motor
- 15:37Speaker 1: around town and comfort. She's not happy about it, but
- 15:40Speaker 1: then she kind of gets used to it and she's
- 15:43Speaker 1: swallowing and she's feeling pretty good. And you know, they
- 15:46Speaker 1: go into they go into Kim's antiques, and immediately Emily
- 15:52Speaker 1: and missus Kin get into a negotiating battle over a
- 15:55Speaker 1: very fine piece of furniture that missus Kim wants thirty
- 15:59Speaker 1: two hundred for and Emily offers two. And they go
- 16:02Speaker 1: back and forth and back and forth and back and forth,
- 16:05Speaker 1: and Emily just falls in love with missus Kimp because
- 16:08Speaker 1: she's as tough as she is, right, And let's talk
- 16:14Speaker 1: about the parallels between and the similarities between missus Kim
- 16:19Speaker 1: and her experience with Lane. How she's raising Lane and
- 16:24Speaker 1: how Emily apparently was raising Laurelai at the same age.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting? But these two would be friends. They're
- 16:32Speaker 1: very similar. Is Lane a young Larelai?
- 16:37Speaker 5: Probably as someone who was really sheltered and wanted to
- 16:41Speaker 5: get out. I think I don't think they're exactly the same,
- 16:44Speaker 5: but I think there are the similarities there.
- 16:45Speaker 6: And having protective.
- 16:47Speaker 4: Parents they give similar energy for sure.
- 16:50Speaker 1: No.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny that you said earlier that they would
- 16:53Speaker 4: be friends.
- 16:53Speaker 3: That's really clever writing as well to put that together,
- 16:57Speaker 3: because that could be a missed opportunity there to to
- 17:01Speaker 3: not have them connect, you know, on the fact that
- 17:04Speaker 3: they're similar missus Kim and and Emily and I I
- 17:12Speaker 3: actually thought the thirty by the way, in two thousand
- 17:18Speaker 3: is an expensive piece of furniture. Yeah, you know, like
- 17:22Speaker 3: that's that's outrageous, Like that's like ten thousand dollars in
- 17:26Speaker 3: today's money.
- 17:28Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, what was the what was it?
- 17:30Speaker 4: Was it like a chess these.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Are old antiques, rare pieces. You know. Emily was she
- 17:39Speaker 1: scoured every antiques store in Connecticut until she told she
- 17:43Speaker 1: was stupidly told her friend about all of these great places,
- 17:47Speaker 1: and she went and bought everything up and left Emily
- 17:51Speaker 1: out to dry. So Emily had to find a new source.
- 17:55Speaker 1: She found She found it with missus Kim. So, yeah, that.
- 17:58Speaker 5: Stuff's expensive, like anyone in stars Hollow buying that. I
- 18:01Speaker 5: don't think anyone in Star Starts Hollows shopping there.
- 18:04Speaker 3: There's places that in Vermont that remind me of that
- 18:08Speaker 3: where you know, you go it's an I know it's
- 18:10Speaker 3: an antique store, you know, and I know that some
- 18:13Speaker 3: of these things are a couple hundred years old. But
- 18:15Speaker 3: you're like, I just was looking for a coffee table,
- 18:18Speaker 3: and I don't want to buy something from Ikia, but
- 18:20Speaker 3: also I don't think I can buy this Louis the
- 18:23Speaker 3: fifteenth coffee table for twenty five thousand dollars.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Like, have you ever gone on first DIBs or not?
- 18:31Speaker 3: First DIBs? Yeah, first DIBs. It's like that website that
- 18:35Speaker 3: sells antiques stuff like that. You're like, Oh, I'm gonna
- 18:38Speaker 3: go in here and find something interesting. Of course everything
- 18:40Speaker 3: is twenty grand Peace, but yeah, there's places like that
- 18:48Speaker 3: in Vermont that remind me of that. Everything in there
- 18:50Speaker 3: and you're like, I don't think the people around here are.
- 18:52Speaker 4: Buying this stuff. I think, yeah, coming up and you know,
- 18:56Speaker 4: yeah they have.
- 18:57Speaker 1: They have antique shops all all over the North Northeast.
- 19:00Speaker 6: People driving through or buying.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Yeah, some of the best antiquing there is absolutely.
- 19:14Speaker 1: All right. So now we're at the abandoned in with
- 19:19Speaker 1: Rachel and Lorelei and they have their conversation and laurel
- 19:25Speaker 1: I shares her vision that includes Suki, and Rachel shares
- 19:30Speaker 1: that she wants wanted to be a photographer, to be
- 19:34Speaker 1: anywhere but there and start as hollow. So she got out.
- 19:37Speaker 1: So they're kind of, you know, they're bonding a little bit.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Suki is being funny and you know, kind of freaked
- 19:44Speaker 1: out about the prospect of buying the place and having
- 19:47Speaker 1: to renovate it, and but she's excited at the same time.
- 19:50Speaker 1: And hilarious h little appearance by by Melissa McCarthy. It
- 19:56Speaker 1: was really a funny scene. And then Rachel lowers the
- 20:01Speaker 1: boom tells laurel I she's ready to settle down with
- 20:04Speaker 1: Luke and then we see that look on laurel Ized
- 20:08Speaker 1: face and you never see it coming, do you? They
- 20:11Speaker 1: really know how to drop in these these story beats, right,
- 20:15Speaker 1: because these are like necessary story beats. This is storytelling.
- 20:19Speaker 1: You know, how are we going to drop this in?
- 20:21Speaker 1: Why aren't we going to get this in? And then
- 20:23Speaker 1: there it is, boom. You just don't see it coming
- 20:26Speaker 1: with these With these two, it's it's really fantastic writing.
- 20:32Speaker 1: What'd you guys think of this? Were you surprised when when?
- 20:37Speaker 1: Because I was surprised when Rachel said it's time to
- 20:39Speaker 1: settle down.
- 20:40Speaker 5: I mean we've only seen her for a couple of episodes,
- 20:42Speaker 5: so yeah, like if we're going back, I think she's
- 20:44Speaker 5: been in like two or three before this, so it
- 20:46Speaker 5: kind of was shocking.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you're going to have that character right,
- 20:49Speaker 3: you need they have to. Something's got to happen quick
- 20:53Speaker 3: otherwise people lose interest in the character.
- 20:55Speaker 4: You know.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Well, now we're really going to lose interest in her
- 20:58Speaker 1: because she's going to take look away from Lorealizes. So
- 21:01Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, they're going to storm the.
- 21:03Speaker 5: Poor Cullis with pitchforks, you know, it's Yeah, they're not
- 21:06Speaker 5: setting us up to like her that much.
- 21:08Speaker 1: So what do you think here? Here's an interesting question.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Rachel is constantly expressing her desire prior to this, even
- 21:22Speaker 1: even in this scene, her desire to be anywhere but
- 21:25Speaker 1: stars hollow. How do you think that affects Laureli? Right,
- 21:29Speaker 1: I was going to say, do you think that's offensive
- 21:31Speaker 1: to Laurel? I?
- 21:31Speaker 3: Yeah, And Luke I would imagine he's he seems like
- 21:34Speaker 3: he's a I mean, he would be the definition of
- 21:36Speaker 3: a towny, right, He's a towny. He's the guy he
- 21:40Speaker 3: owns a cafe. So her wanting to get out, I
- 21:41Speaker 3: mean that obviously means that she's trying to get him,
- 21:44Speaker 3: pull him out of town.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Certain people are struck by wanderlust, right. They just want
- 21:52Speaker 1: to see the world. There's nothing wrong with that. Most
- 21:56Speaker 1: people don't. They want to stay in town and and
- 22:00Speaker 1: they want to have their friends and their family, and
- 22:03Speaker 1: they don't want to leave the town very often or
- 22:05Speaker 1: if at all. But she's just one of these, you know,
- 22:08Speaker 1: she's wild at hard I guess, and she just wants
- 22:11Speaker 1: to see the world. Nothing wrong with that.
- 22:12Speaker 6: And she's left before.
- 22:14Speaker 5: So it's interesting that she's saying this now because I
- 22:17Speaker 5: think Lurla's probably thinking, well, is she going to leave again?
- 22:19Speaker 1: Right? How many times has she done this to Luke?
- 22:23Speaker 1: It's like millions of times. They use the word millions,
- 22:27Speaker 1: so she must have done she does this all the time,
- 22:29Speaker 1: all the time.
- 22:30Speaker 4: It's called doing a geographical Oh is that geographic? Geographical?
- 22:35Speaker 3: It's like that's a therapy term right where it's like,
- 22:37Speaker 3: you know, you can move to another place, but you know,
- 22:43Speaker 3: if you don't address the problem, then you're just moving
- 22:45Speaker 3: your problem to another place.
- 22:46Speaker 4: Right, You're just.
- 22:46Speaker 3: Going, well, maybe life would get better if I lived
- 22:49Speaker 3: in Hawaii, which it might arguably, I might be better.
- 22:56Speaker 3: But yeah, she seems like she might have that sort
- 22:58Speaker 3: of I mean, what do you what are you running from?
- 23:01Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 23:02Speaker 3: Maybe just not wanting to be stagnant in a town
- 23:04Speaker 3: or something like that. But it makes me think of
- 23:08Speaker 3: I remember I've read this somewhere about maybe it was
- 23:12Speaker 3: in one of those like Stapiens books or something like that,
- 23:14Speaker 3: but it was like that there's no there's no human
- 23:18Speaker 3: like biological prerogative to travel, you know what I mean?
- 23:23Speaker 3: The real you just humans just need food, water and
- 23:26Speaker 3: shelter and stuff.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Like that. But so like traveling is like a new thing,
- 23:32Speaker 4: you know, and.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Some people like I just I gotta get out of here.
- 23:34Speaker 3: I gotta go, I gotta go. It's interesting because there
- 23:37Speaker 3: isn't and it's more of a psychological thing. It's not
- 23:40Speaker 3: a necessity, actual necessity to live a good life. You
- 23:44Speaker 3: don't have to travel, that's true, especially.
- 23:47Speaker 4: A cute town like Stars Hollow.
- 23:48Speaker 3: You know, you could, you know, you could live in
- 23:52Speaker 3: a cute town like that your whole life, as long
- 23:54Speaker 3: as you maybe go on a couple of vacations a year.
- 23:57Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 23:57Speaker 1: When I was growing up and reading books, and I
- 24:00Speaker 1: was always wondering what these places were like and wanting
- 24:02Speaker 1: to go there, you know, right, because there's stories attached
- 24:06Speaker 1: to it, and it's more than just going to a place.
- 24:09Speaker 1: It's sort of revisiting your childhood almost, you know, and discovering,
- 24:15Speaker 1: you know again, all those feelings you had while you
- 24:18Speaker 1: were learning about that place and those events that took place,
- 24:21Speaker 1: and whether it's a poet that you particularly like, and
- 24:25Speaker 1: you can walk that that that road to Paris from
- 24:29Speaker 1: Charlesville and you know, retrace their footsteps and that kind
- 24:34Speaker 1: of thing. So yeah, but I yeah, I think I
- 24:38Speaker 1: think you're right. It's probably uh, you know, with the
- 24:42Speaker 1: with the industrial age and the ease with which people
- 24:48Speaker 1: can transport themselves. Yeah, that's the traveling became a thing.
- 24:55Speaker 4: You're crazy.
- 24:55Speaker 3: If you just buy a ticket, you can be in
- 24:59Speaker 3: you know, if you can get the ticket, you can
- 25:00Speaker 3: be in Paris tomorrow.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Yeah you know.
- 25:05Speaker 4: Yeah, actually I guess if that's right now.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Wild right, right, It wouldn't take three years to get
- 25:12Speaker 1: there by foot, right because you had to work, because
- 25:15Speaker 1: you had to work jobs along the way to get there,
- 25:17Speaker 1: like like in the middle of the eighteenth century. So, uh,
- 25:22Speaker 1: we're back at the end. Run is uh. Now, this
- 25:26Speaker 1: is one of the finer scenes I think in the
- 25:28Speaker 1: entire episode with Michelle and Run and Michelle are going
- 25:33Speaker 1: at it and Michelle doesn't believe him that, you know,
- 25:39Speaker 1: he has a job there and that he's going to
- 25:41Speaker 1: live there. He's like, go away, little tiny man. You
- 25:46Speaker 1: don't know what he believes you. And Emily and Rory
- 25:52Speaker 1: come in and and Emily meets Michelle and they of
- 25:58Speaker 1: course hit it off. The famous oh.
- 26:01Speaker 5: Yeah, his French accent was all she needed.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Right, that's it. A couple of French words and she
- 26:11Speaker 1: was done, and laurelized a little shocked by Emily's shoes,
- 26:17Speaker 1: a choice of restaurant, and her pleasant mood. I don't
- 26:22Speaker 1: know that she's ever seen her mother like this, right.
- 26:26Speaker 6: Definitely, not in those shoes.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Not in those shoes. And Rory and Emily are having
- 26:32Speaker 1: a really great time, aren't they. I mean they're really really.
- 26:35Speaker 1: I mean, Rory's just having a great day and she's
- 26:39Speaker 1: beaming because she's with her grandma, and that is just
- 26:42Speaker 1: so sweet.
- 26:43Speaker 5: It is one of those things where you're like, they're
- 26:45Speaker 5: having too good of a time. Something's going to happen.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Did you feel that way? Did you feel something was coming?
- 26:50Speaker 1: Because I didn't. I didn't remember where this was going.
- 26:56Speaker 5: I did, But even before that, I was like, Emily
- 26:58Speaker 5: always turns, so I knew something would happen.
- 27:02Speaker 4: Right. It makes Lorla jealous a little bit too to see.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Them bonding, right, I mean, that's totally I guess jealous
- 27:10Speaker 3: is the only word I can think of, but the
- 27:12Speaker 3: sort of like, well, why wasn't it like that for me?
- 27:16Speaker 3: And also thinking it's like, you know when someone's really
- 27:19Speaker 3: nice to you because they want something. So I'm sure
- 27:21Speaker 3: she feels a little bit like, what is this manipulation?
- 27:27Speaker 3: What is this manipulation technique.
- 27:28Speaker 4: That she's got? Now? Now she wants to like act like.
- 27:30Speaker 5: You know, yeah, and she always sees like she kind
- 27:35Speaker 5: of tries to see the bad in her mom. She
- 27:38Speaker 5: never tries to see the good because I think it
- 27:40Speaker 5: did start.
- 27:41Speaker 6: Out as good.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think laurla I is still kind of
- 27:44Speaker 1: in her trauma. You know, it's a trauma response every
- 27:48Speaker 1: time she sees her mom, and that's where all the
- 27:51Speaker 1: humor's coming from. It's a defense mechanism. She's just traumatized
- 27:54Speaker 1: by the woman. So that's her reflexive defenses. And then
- 28:03Speaker 1: we at the height of Emily's joy with stars hollow,
- 28:07Speaker 1: the swans, the lake, the white picket fence, the lawn,
- 28:12Speaker 1: the charming cottage in the back, the gardening shed. Here
- 28:15Speaker 1: we come. That's when it all ends. Did you you
- 28:23Speaker 1: guys didn't see this coming? Terry Kendall, what was your
- 28:28Speaker 1: impression of this when Emily, I mean, you didn't know
- 28:31Speaker 1: the story, right, so a little bit harder for me, right, right?
- 28:36Speaker 1: So what did you think of this scene? Did you
- 28:38Speaker 1: have to ask your wife like, hey, what what's going
- 28:40Speaker 1: on here?
- 28:41Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 28:41Speaker 3: She did have to explain it to me. She was
- 28:44Speaker 3: as much backstory as possible. Are we talking about when
- 28:46Speaker 3: she's at the base.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Shed, no where, the gardening shed where Laurel I ran
- 28:56Speaker 1: to when Rory was a baby and they lived in
- 29:01Speaker 1: the owner of the dragon Fly in who was still
- 29:04Speaker 1: employing laurle I took pity on Laura I as a
- 29:08Speaker 1: sixteen year old with a baby. Right now, we're in
- 29:19Speaker 1: Luke's apartment and this is the first time so we
- 29:26Speaker 1: got so we're dealing with curtains that Luke chose that
- 29:29Speaker 1: Laura I finds out that Rachel didn't choose them, and
- 29:33Speaker 1: it's the first time she's in there. Not that she
- 29:35Speaker 1: ever thought about Luke's apartment. She's always sort of like
- 29:38Speaker 1: stumbling around Rachel and getting to explain me with her
- 29:43Speaker 1: right Rachel said she doesn't think she will always stay
- 29:46Speaker 1: in the stars Hollow. Again, here we are with like,
- 29:50Speaker 1: I'm out of here, and so that's all this character
- 29:52Speaker 1: says is like, I want to get out of here,
- 29:55Speaker 1: and you know, she's got a prompt So she goes
- 29:58Speaker 1: to Laura I and she says, can you help me
- 30:00Speaker 1: with my problem? My problem is I can't convince Luke
- 30:03Speaker 1: that I'm that I'm going to actually stay this time
- 30:06Speaker 1: because I you know, I've only run out on them
- 30:08Speaker 1: about thirty times. But and we don't know, right, It
- 30:13Speaker 1: makes me wonder, It makes me want to know more
- 30:15Speaker 1: about what the heck happened between these two and they're
- 30:18Speaker 1: telling us, but you know, you'd really rather see it.
- 30:24Speaker 1: And so she asked Laura if if if she can
- 30:27Speaker 1: give her a little help in that regard, and Laura
- 30:29Speaker 1: I agree, says yeah, you know, did she agree?
- 30:31Speaker 6: She did?
- 30:32Speaker 1: She did agree. What do you think of this? That's
- 30:35Speaker 1: putting Laura in a very awkward position, isn't it. And
- 30:39Speaker 1: here's here's the real question. Do you think Rachel's aware
- 30:43Speaker 1: that Laura I and Luke maybe have feelings for John?
- 30:46Speaker 6: I think she can see it, right.
- 30:48Speaker 3: I mean, if she's seen the same thing that we're seeing,
- 30:51Speaker 3: because we don't know, we don't know if if it
- 30:53Speaker 3: looks a little different in the actual world that they're in,
- 30:57Speaker 3: you know that the characters are in. But I mean,
- 31:00Speaker 3: if any casual observer could see that there's a tension
- 31:05Speaker 3: between the two of them. And I was thinking, like,
- 31:09Speaker 3: are either one of them like a girls girl?
- 31:12Speaker 4: You know what?
- 31:12Speaker 3: I mean by that where it's like, you know, she's
- 31:15Speaker 3: she's a, hey, we do this favor for me. You know,
- 31:19Speaker 3: I need your help, and it's like kind of a
- 31:20Speaker 3: kind thing to do. But are either of them girls
- 31:23Speaker 3: girls like.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Broad? I don't know what the opposite of it is,
- 31:28Speaker 4: but I.
- 31:30Speaker 6: Think Laura I is.
- 31:30Speaker 5: I don't think we know enough about Rachel, but off
- 31:33Speaker 5: the bat, probably not. I don't think she probably moves
- 31:37Speaker 5: around too much where she hasn't established like real relationships
- 31:43Speaker 5: like that. But again, we haven't learned that much about.
- 31:45Speaker 6: Her to know.
- 31:47Speaker 1: You know why, I think Rachel asked her to do that.
- 31:50Speaker 1: I think Rachel asked Laurela to do that because it
- 31:53Speaker 1: was really a test. She was testing local Laura Lai
- 31:58Speaker 1: to see what they're feelings really work or for each other,
- 32:02Speaker 1: which would inform her decision to stay or leave right,
- 32:06Speaker 1: because she suspects there's probably something going on because right,
- 32:11Speaker 1: like Kendall said, you can feel that energy, right, and
- 32:15Speaker 1: she's I mean, she's coming into this situation and she
- 32:18Speaker 1: sees this. You know, laural lies beautiful and she's sitting
- 32:21Speaker 1: there and you know, a girl girls can tell, right,
- 32:27Speaker 1: they can really tell. I mean, guys can tell when
- 32:29Speaker 1: other guys like their women. You know, it's it's it's
- 32:31Speaker 1: just instinctual. We do well, no, we do, we do?
- 32:37Speaker 1: We do? Come on, let's face it. You know, the
- 32:40Speaker 1: radars out and you know it, man, you know when
- 32:42Speaker 1: somebody's locked on and and I think, yeah, this is
- 32:47Speaker 1: just a heat check for for for for Rachel. And
- 32:52Speaker 1: I don't know if she's I don't know. I wouldn't
- 32:53Speaker 1: accuse her of being manipulative, but it's like, I think
- 32:56Speaker 1: she's just sort of like trying to justify another exit
- 32:59Speaker 1: stage left because now she's in a situation where she
- 33:02Speaker 1: really wanted to come back, she really wanted to start something.
- 33:05Speaker 1: But gosh, I don't know that. Why is Luke being
- 33:09Speaker 1: so stubborn? And it's like because of Laurala and Laura,
- 33:12Speaker 1: I would you help me out with this problem? And
- 33:14Speaker 1: she kind of thinks she knows already what the answer
- 33:17Speaker 1: is going to be.
- 33:19Speaker 6: You have a point.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Even if she tries, it's not going to be successful.
- 33:22Speaker 3: People like that are so frustrating because it seems like
- 33:25Speaker 3: Rachel is the type of person who will ask for
- 33:30Speaker 3: things and not realize how awkward to put somebody in
- 33:33Speaker 3: a position, you know, there is she like a little
- 33:37Speaker 3: oblivious to that. I mean, that's what you're saying that
- 33:39Speaker 3: she's got to know that there's some sort of connection there,
- 33:42Speaker 3: but we don't know if she's seeing it the same
- 33:45Speaker 3: way that we're seeing it from.
- 33:48Speaker 4: You know, that perspective. So it is, yeah, she might
- 33:51Speaker 4: be testing her that. I mean, it would seem obvious.
- 33:53Speaker 1: And it leads to that scene in the supply room
- 33:57Speaker 1: where Laurla comes in and actually does as asks, advocates
- 34:02Speaker 1: for her a little bit. And you know, I think
- 34:06Speaker 1: so far in this season, that's one of my that's
- 34:08Speaker 1: my favorite Luke and Laurel I see because it was
- 34:12Speaker 1: so filled with truth and it was so filled with
- 34:15Speaker 1: masking real feelings on both of their parts. You know,
- 34:20Speaker 1: he just continued to rip open boxes and stock the
- 34:24Speaker 1: shelves right, and he was firm in his belief. And
- 34:30Speaker 1: I thought, you know, there were two things that Luke
- 34:34Speaker 1: was balancing. One was he has no faith or trust
- 34:40Speaker 1: in Rachel's ability to stick it out. He's seen that
- 34:44Speaker 1: movie too many times before, Laurel I relax. He also
- 34:49Speaker 1: wanted to appear I think, kind of open and available
- 34:54Speaker 1: to Laurel. I. I think it worked in his favor
- 34:58Speaker 1: in both accounts right without really showing how he felt
- 35:03Speaker 1: about her. He was showing how he felt about her
- 35:06Speaker 1: with his attitude, which is what I love about the scene.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I really love their dynamic and I think the writing.
- 35:13Speaker 1: The writing is so good. The writing is so good.
- 35:17Speaker 1: And you know, I've been in four series a series regular,
- 35:22Speaker 1: and to go to work and to get to be
- 35:25Speaker 1: in scenes like this is a just a very rare treat.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Let me tell you.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Going like yes, you know, like as you're reading the script,
- 35:35Speaker 3: you're going, I know I'm gonna do these scenes later,
- 35:37Speaker 3: but you're like, oh oh, and that.
- 35:41Speaker 1: The way they write. You read it, you see it,
- 35:46Speaker 1: you go, I know exactly what I'm going to do.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I know exactly how to cover this, I know exactly
- 35:52Speaker 1: how I'm going to interact with her, and they just
- 35:57Speaker 1: and they don't put it in a scene description, and
- 35:59Speaker 1: it's not in the dialogue, but it is. They write behavior.
- 36:06Speaker 1: They write dialogue that elicits behavior. They draw out behavior
- 36:11Speaker 1: in you, and I've never seen writing like it. It's
- 36:16Speaker 1: wonderful to do and I miss it terribly.
- 36:19Speaker 4: It's a lot of words too.
- 36:22Speaker 1: But they're but they're perfectly placed words they're perfect words.
- 36:27Speaker 1: There's a lot of them, but they're still in a
- 36:30Speaker 1: sense economical in that every word is effective, every word
- 36:35Speaker 1: has a purpose. It's not too much. It's like I'm
- 36:40Speaker 1: going to take you over here, but we're going to
- 36:43Speaker 1: come back here because you don't you're not going to
- 36:45Speaker 1: see this comment. I don't know. I love that.
- 36:48Speaker 3: I think of any examples of shows that I mean,
- 36:50Speaker 3: because to me, it seems like Gilmore Girl stands out
- 36:52Speaker 3: as a a very particular style, which is probably what
- 36:59Speaker 3: made it so popular, because it was, you know, one
- 37:03Speaker 3: of a kind in the way that the pacing was
- 37:06Speaker 3: and the storytelling and all the connections and the characters.
- 37:10Speaker 3: You know, are there anything that's kind of was it
- 37:14Speaker 3: modeled after something or just sort of a.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's very sophisticated film writing from
- 37:20Speaker 1: the thirties and forties. Yeah, those those fast paced comedies,
- 37:27Speaker 1: and but it's just so smart. You don't find writing
- 37:32Speaker 1: like this in television. You just don't find it. It's
- 37:35Speaker 1: just I don't know that it's there's ever been writing
- 37:38Speaker 1: like this on television.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Well, maybe the reason for the pacing is because of
- 37:42Speaker 3: how much they how much story they were telling. Is like, well,
- 37:45Speaker 3: we only have forty minutes to do this, so that's
- 37:47Speaker 3: why we've got to keep it based up to get
- 37:49Speaker 3: this story in you know, all these good character points
- 37:52Speaker 3: and everything like that.
- 37:53Speaker 4: I also know that it's in a style.
- 37:55Speaker 1: But you know you're you're a guitar player, right, So
- 37:59Speaker 1: you go to a figure out Peter Frampton solo, or
- 38:03Speaker 1: you go to a Clapton solo, you go to a
- 38:05Speaker 1: Hendrick solo, and you just go, wow, how did they
- 38:09Speaker 1: do this?
- 38:10Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 38:11Speaker 1: Right, I mean there are levels. So this is what
- 38:16Speaker 1: we're dealing with here with Amy and Dan. It's just
- 38:20Speaker 1: remarkable the writing. And it's no accident that you know
- 38:26Speaker 1: this show is so popular and that you know ten
- 38:32Speaker 1: year old girls are falling in love with it because
- 38:37Speaker 1: Amy and Dan treat an audience like they're intelligent. They
- 38:42Speaker 1: don't ever write down to them. They know that the
- 38:47Speaker 1: audience will get it. And that's what drives me crazy
- 38:51Speaker 1: about most television. They're always dumbing everything down. These two
- 38:54Speaker 1: don't dumb anything now you know, they go the other way.
- 39:00Speaker 4: Oh man, well it made it an evergreen, that's for sure. Yeah.
- 39:04Speaker 4: That's hard to do.
- 39:04Speaker 3: That's hard to do, especially so many years later and
- 39:09Speaker 3: people still finding it and it comes up in conversation often.
- 39:15Speaker 1: All right, now we're in Rory's room, h and Lane
- 39:19Speaker 1: tells her that Henry guy hasn't called, and he actually
- 39:23Speaker 1: did call, and fine, what was this transition? He did
- 39:27Speaker 1: call eight and a half times.
- 39:29Speaker 5: Yeah, no, he left a message and she listened back
- 39:33Speaker 5: to it eight times.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Oh, eight and a half times. Okay, all right, so
- 39:37Speaker 1: he finally called or she just didn't get the message.
- 39:41Speaker 5: She just didn't pick up, and he left a message
- 39:43Speaker 5: and she just kept listening to it.
- 39:45Speaker 6: So he did call, he just didn't answer.
- 39:47Speaker 1: So she's admitting this now to Rory. Yes, so why
- 39:51Speaker 1: was she saying that he never called?
- 39:52Speaker 6: No idea. I think it's just a teenager being a teenager.
- 39:57Speaker 1: All right, we won't dwell, let's not do well, okay,
- 40:01Speaker 1: I ain't now at the movie theater, this was great,
- 40:03Speaker 1: This is so good, this is see this is something
- 40:07Speaker 1: you just don't see. And I don't know where they
- 40:10Speaker 1: came up with this line. But when she said you
- 40:14Speaker 1: want to take that that particular medication to Kirk the
- 40:19Speaker 1: cinement'out a found about of it? What did she say?
- 40:21Speaker 1: Remember this scene Kirk sits behind him, and he's telling
- 40:24Speaker 1: them to be quiet even though the lights.
- 40:27Speaker 5: Are still on, right, yeah, he wanted quiet before the
- 40:30Speaker 5: movie started.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Then he said he was feeling a little under the
- 40:33Speaker 1: weather or something like that, or he was sniffing or
- 40:36Speaker 1: some sniffles, and Lorelai turns around said, you want to
- 40:39Speaker 1: take that cine fin and minus obada, you don't want
- 40:43Speaker 1: to be driving a fort left. You get a bet
- 40:45Speaker 1: your drowsy, And they're just you know, it's like, where
- 40:47Speaker 1: do they get this stuff? Where do they get this?
- 40:50Speaker 1: I mean, that is just like.
- 40:51Speaker 4: They're having fun with it, you know, in that.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Way right right, It's like two people having a good
- 40:57Speaker 1: time and enjoying their lives at the expense of poor Kirk,
- 41:00Speaker 1: who has no idea what they're talking about. And it's
- 41:03Speaker 1: not like it's hostile. It's just like a fun little
- 41:06Speaker 1: thing they throw. And then they see Rachel and Luke
- 41:10Speaker 1: come in, and.
- 41:11Speaker 6: I was kind of surprised by that, were you.
- 41:13Speaker 5: I was surprised that like his arm was around her
- 41:15Speaker 5: and they were like suddenly dating. It seemed like after
- 41:20Speaker 5: the conversation in the stock room, Oh that's to throw
- 41:24Speaker 5: us off, No, I know, but like I don't know
- 41:27Speaker 5: I've watched it so many times. I'm still watching it
- 41:30Speaker 5: like it's the first I'm like, oh, it was shocked,
- 41:31Speaker 5: like his arm was around her.
- 41:34Speaker 1: You know, they made up.
- 41:36Speaker 3: Every time I see the Luke outfits, it's so funny.
- 41:39Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure you had people dressing up as
- 41:41Speaker 3: you for Halloween.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Uh yeah, like legions every Helloween.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it makes sense. Plus, it's an easy
- 41:47Speaker 3: costume to pull off. You know, people can put it
- 41:50Speaker 3: together with something to have in their house.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Everybody's got a flannel, everybody's got a baseball, you know. Hard.
- 41:56Speaker 5: We did an event at the Warner Brothers lot and
- 42:00Speaker 5: it was a Gilmore Girl's event and Scott was there
- 42:02Speaker 5: and every girl dressed their boyfriend as Luke. They were
- 42:07Speaker 5: just like hundreds of Luke's walking around.
- 42:13Speaker 3: I saw those posts. Was that at the ranch or
- 42:15Speaker 3: was it at the lot? That wasn't at the ranch?
- 42:16Speaker 3: You guys filmed the lot a lot.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Yeah, we're at the back lot. Yeah.
- 42:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I need some of that coffee by the way.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah. They The only way to get it
- 42:28Speaker 1: is go to the Warner Brothers website.
- 42:30Speaker 4: I was gonna say on the tour, right, you can
- 42:32Speaker 4: get it right.
- 42:33Speaker 1: The tour website. You can get the coffee, can get
- 42:35Speaker 1: all fine. We have we keep increasing excuse so there's
- 42:39Speaker 1: probably more there. Now you can get hot chocolate too.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Oh yeah, more stuff coming. Very exciting, all right. So
- 42:47Speaker 1: at the movies, uh, Laurelin and and Rory gossip about
- 42:51Speaker 1: Emily's phone call that Emily wants to be Rory's pal.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Now Kirk sits behind him, tells him be quiet. Luke
- 43:00Speaker 1: upholding Rachel's hand. We've discussed this. Rory agrees with Laura
- 43:05Speaker 1: I that she did the right thing by butting into
- 43:09Speaker 1: the Luke and Rachel's relationship, trying to influence it. All right,
- 43:24Speaker 1: So now we're back at Friday night dinner with one
- 43:29Speaker 1: of the funniest entrances I think I've seen so far
- 43:34Speaker 1: on a Friday night dinner. This might be the ultimate
- 43:37Speaker 1: entrance where Laurel I opens up all chipper and happy
- 43:45Speaker 1: and leans in and says, Rory, check the rubbing alcohol.
- 43:54Speaker 1: And then she invites Rory and takes off with Laurel
- 43:57Speaker 1: I's just and they're like, okay, I'm fine, yeah, okay,
- 43:59Speaker 1: I would just commit right, just brilliant stuff. I mean,
- 44:03Speaker 1: it's just brilliant stuff. You know what it is. This
- 44:06Speaker 1: is like theater. It's what you This is theater. They're
- 44:11Speaker 1: giving her performance like their own stage on Broadway, and
- 44:14Speaker 1: we get to see it. And I thought Perry Lang
- 44:17Speaker 1: did a fantastic job directing this episode, really beautifully directed episode.
- 44:24Speaker 1: He just felt the impact of everything throughout the entire piece.
- 44:28Speaker 1: And then we say that Emily has made Rory her
- 44:34Speaker 1: own room so she has a place to go. And boy,
- 44:40Speaker 1: I tell you it's it's a win win for Emily
- 44:44Speaker 1: because she gets the benefit of pleasing her granddaughter, but
- 44:47Speaker 1: she also gets to stick that dagger into Laurel li
- 44:50Speaker 1: ion twist it at the same time. Right, what'd you
- 44:53Speaker 1: guys feel about that? I thought it was a little
- 44:55Speaker 1: bit cruel that she didn't prep Laurel I on this.
- 44:59Speaker 6: Yeah, she can her heads up.
- 45:00Speaker 4: That probably wouldn't fly in most situations. You know, I
- 45:03Speaker 4: think everybody would be pretty ticked off about that. I mean,
- 45:06Speaker 4: it is weird.
- 45:07Speaker 3: I guess she just she does seem to like to
- 45:10Speaker 3: go after her, you.
- 45:11Speaker 4: Know, set her up.
- 45:12Speaker 1: She set her up. And I thought Laura I handled
- 45:16Speaker 1: it beautifully like she wasn't trying to start a fight.
- 45:19Speaker 1: But mom, you know, hey, you know what's going on here? Okay, look,
- 45:23Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, I don't have a problem with it,
- 45:24Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, you could have let me
- 45:26Speaker 1: know and then Emily attacks her.
- 45:29Speaker 5: Yeah, it definitely came up sudden. Like even Laura I
- 45:33Speaker 5: was like, when do we start? When did we start fighting?
- 45:36Speaker 5: She was waiting for that opportunity to bring it up.
- 45:39Speaker 1: I mean, how horrible that she has to stand there
- 45:40Speaker 1: and absorb that and again more trauma. I don't know
- 45:44Speaker 1: how honestly, at this point, Laura I can take it.
- 45:48Speaker 1: I don't know why she even goes back there on.
- 45:50Speaker 6: Friday nights early on season one.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Right, it's like, wow, you have to deal with that
- 45:55Speaker 1: maniac every Friday night, and you know she's looking for
- 45:59Speaker 1: an excuse to tear into her and yeah, at this point,
- 46:04Speaker 1: I'm like, don't go back just there's no reason for it.
- 46:10Speaker 4: How far away did they live, by the way, like twenty.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Minutes, twenty minutes, twenty thirty minutes, yeah, twenty thirty minutes.
- 46:20Speaker 1: All right, So now there's this long walk and talk
- 46:23Speaker 1: night Time stars Hollow and mother and daughter are having
- 46:26Speaker 1: their conversation about the evening's events. The bloodshed the humor.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Laura I says she never opened up to Emily about
- 46:37Speaker 1: what she has been through because of you know, pride, right,
- 46:43Speaker 1: And then they show up to the diner for happy
- 46:47Speaker 1: Pie and they see Rachel. She thanks LOURAI for speaking
- 46:53Speaker 1: to the loop. Things are working out. She's got her
- 46:55Speaker 1: own drawer now. Luke gave her a set of keys.
- 47:00Speaker 1: It's a it's it's a big scene. And Rachel says
- 47:05Speaker 1: she's gonna stay for a while. And then they bring
- 47:08Speaker 1: the coffee and the coffee doesn't taste the same anymore.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Isn't that a beautiful device? M hmm, isn't that? Isn't
- 47:17Speaker 1: that just the great writing? And the coffee doesn't taste
- 47:21Speaker 1: as good anymore. It tastes different.
- 47:25Speaker 4: To find a new cafe, mmmm, diner.
- 47:30Speaker 1: So there's trouble in Denmark. Let me tell you all right,
- 47:35Speaker 1: Laurel I feel she can never fully open up to Emily.
- 47:40Speaker 1: Obviously Rachel decided to stay complicates the whole thing. I
- 47:44Speaker 1: see it, you know what, I see more from Laura
- 47:47Speaker 1: I in this instead of thinking about herself and her
- 47:50Speaker 1: own emotions getting scrambled because of the you know this
- 47:54Speaker 1: this quote unquote rivalry, it's is this good for Luke.
- 47:59Speaker 1: I think she's more concerned about him as a friend
- 48:03Speaker 1: at this point. You know, I think, of course there's
- 48:05Speaker 1: maybe some feelings there, but it's like this girl, right,
- 48:09Speaker 1: this Rachel is Rachel the right for him. So I
- 48:12Speaker 1: think maybe she's looking through a lens of friendship to
- 48:16Speaker 1: see if this is the right situation for him because
- 48:18Speaker 1: her friend keeps getting hurt by this woman and she
- 48:22Speaker 1: doesn't like that, you know, So as a friend, I
- 48:25Speaker 1: think she's she's something's off here. The coffee's wrong, she's wrong,
- 48:29Speaker 1: that's wrong. That's my friend, and I may have feelings
- 48:33Speaker 1: for him, but he's my friend first and foremost, and
- 48:35Speaker 1: I don't want to see him get hurt. And that's
- 48:37Speaker 1: how she played it, and I thought it was really
- 48:39Speaker 1: quite touching. It was really quite.
- 48:41Speaker 3: Touch aggressive balance too, you know, yeah, to be in
- 48:45Speaker 3: that situation, I mean, I'm sure many of us have
- 48:49Speaker 3: had situations like that where you like somebody but this
- 48:51Speaker 3: is not going somewhere, But then you really and then
- 48:54Speaker 3: they start dating someone and you're like, well, am I
- 48:56Speaker 3: telling them?
- 48:58Speaker 4: Am I feeling off because of that?
- 48:59Speaker 3: Or my feeling off because I just don't think that
- 49:03Speaker 3: you know that person is right for them.
- 49:05Speaker 1: Right. Well, let's talk about what's really really important here. Okay,
- 49:09Speaker 1: what's really important is that Kendall, you and Big Time
- 49:12Speaker 1: Rush are heading back out on tour. That's right, Oh
- 49:16Speaker 1: my god, tell us about that.
- 49:18Speaker 4: I guess we're gonna watch so much Gilmore Girls.
- 49:20Speaker 1: On the back. Well, I would hope.
- 49:26Speaker 4: So I'm actually gonna see.
- 49:27Speaker 3: I'm gonna see if I just start playing it like
- 49:30Speaker 3: Logan and I are sharing a bus on this tour,
- 49:32Speaker 3: so I'm going to see if he I'm just gonna
- 49:34Speaker 3: start leaving it.
- 49:35Speaker 4: On the TV and the phase attention on it, you.
- 49:38Speaker 3: Know, if I catch him sitting down with a nice
