- 0:58Speaker 1: We won't forget the synopsis. Wait, Scott, before we get
- 1:01Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, we all loved the finale. I yes,
- 1:07Speaker 1: dare I say think this topped the finale. This is
- 1:12Speaker 1: a horse of a different color. Yeah, it's it's different.
- 1:17Speaker 1: It's just it's it is completely a new it's a
- 1:25Speaker 1: new animal. It's it's a brand new animal. It doesn't
- 1:30Speaker 1: it still feels like the old one. But this is new.
- 1:33Speaker 1: This is a new these are new beginnings, this is
- 1:36Speaker 1: a new continent, this is a this is new territory
- 1:40Speaker 1: for me, and I think for the audience, it's like,
- 1:43Speaker 1: what are we what kind of landscapes are we finding now? Yeah,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and it's a whole new show. It's just a whole
- 1:51Speaker 1: new show, you know what I would venture to say.
- 1:54Speaker 1: And you're the expert. All y'all are at the top
- 1:59Speaker 1: of your game. You're you've now got four years under
- 2:02Speaker 1: your belt of playing these characters. To me, every single
- 2:06Speaker 1: character in this episode was just believable all around. Nothing
- 2:12Speaker 1: was fake, nothing seemed It's like I'm settled into Gilmour
- 2:17Speaker 1: world and I'm completely in it with all of you.
- 2:20Speaker 1: That was my like vibe. Yeah, you know, listen, that's
- 2:26Speaker 1: that's the beauty. That's one of the beauties of the show.
- 2:28Speaker 1: And you don't always find that on every show. You're
- 2:30Speaker 1: honor is that the acting, The quality and the level
- 2:34Speaker 1: of the acting and the actors that you're working with
- 2:37Speaker 1: all very high. And what was really really stood out
- 2:42Speaker 1: to me is Melissa's performance, how excited she gets and
- 2:47Speaker 1: how controlled she is within that excitement and the technique
- 2:50Speaker 1: there and all she all of the physical comedy that
- 2:55Speaker 1: she's doing is connected to reality. It's connected to her character,
- 3:00Speaker 1: and she's so good And I had such a well
- 3:02Speaker 1: up of welling up of pride that I acted with
- 3:06Speaker 1: an Oscar winner and I held my own. I am
- 3:10Speaker 1: so happy you brought that up. Yeah, so happy you
- 3:13Speaker 1: brought that up. That scene, which we'll get to, was
- 3:17Speaker 1: the highlight of the episode. I thought so too. I
- 3:20Speaker 1: really thought flight. I felt like I was in and
- 3:25Speaker 1: that was exactly how the best friend would react to
- 3:32Speaker 1: the friend that's now the boy. Like it was so
- 3:36Speaker 1: real and she was perfect. That's an actress that knows
- 3:40Speaker 1: what her job is, and her job was to do
- 3:43Speaker 1: that and to be that and the genuine excitement coming
- 3:48Speaker 1: at her. Yes, all those colors flying around and that
- 3:51Speaker 1: joy and the timing and she is She's extraordinary, isn't she. Yeah? Yes,
- 3:58Speaker 1: her talent was on full display there. Yes. I so,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I think we're saying the same thing, and that, like
- 4:06Speaker 1: everybody is just in the group, including Jared Padilecki, who
- 4:12Speaker 1: if you go back to season one, he was good, right,
- 4:15Speaker 1: but like this, he's always been good. Yeah, but he's
- 4:20Speaker 1: really good now, even in that scene at the end.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I can't talk about it, but she's cooking. I mean,
- 4:29Speaker 1: he's really good in this is that's tough stuff to watch.
- 4:33Speaker 1: That's tough stuff to watch, and that I think it
- 4:36Speaker 1: was the hardest sit for me. I mean great storytelling,
- 4:41Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I mean just great storytelling. But boy,
- 4:44Speaker 1: that was hard to watch between those two. But anyway,
- 4:47Speaker 1: so Daniel, let's let's synopsize since since since we need
- 4:51Speaker 1: to synopsize, and we'll go in order. But this was
- 4:55Speaker 1: a real treat. Yeah, this is season five, episode one,
- 5:00Speaker 1: Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller Air date September twenty first,
- 5:03Speaker 1: two thousand and four. We pick up right where we
- 5:06Speaker 1: left off. Rory's feelings were deemed deep in creating a
- 5:09Speaker 1: riff between her and Lorelai. Suki learns of Lorela and
- 5:12Speaker 1: Luke's kiss and cannot contain her excitement, while Loria assures
- 5:16Speaker 1: Luke that the kiss was a good thing. Emily formerly
- 5:20Speaker 1: tells Lorlai and Rory of her separation with Richard and
- 5:24Speaker 1: invites Rory to Europe. Well to summon this up in
- 5:29Speaker 1: let's use a coffee analogy or put it in coffee terms.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Lu it looks thank you, thank you, thanks for sitting
- 5:39Speaker 1: at the in your booth the counter. Yeah, well you
- 5:44Speaker 1: do that. Let's uh, you know, it looks like it
- 5:50Speaker 1: looks like Laurel I would like to order a second
- 5:54Speaker 1: pot of the Loop Blend looks like looks like Rory
- 6:01Speaker 1: Come two, three, four and five Ry has had two
- 6:05Speaker 1: heap and cups of Jared Blend and is really conflicted
- 6:10Speaker 1: and really likes it, and looks like Emily is about
- 6:15Speaker 1: to change the filter. Oh, I'm going for some more
- 6:19Speaker 1: international flavors. So the thing that's so great about this
- 6:25Speaker 1: show too, that's like really happening now, is how generational.
- 6:31Speaker 1: We're seeing three parallel stories with three strong, amazing women
- 6:40Speaker 1: that are each unique even though they're essentially the same story.
- 6:46Speaker 1: They're a woman, you know, with their significant other, figuring
- 6:52Speaker 1: it out, doing the dance good and bad. And it's like, wow,
- 6:56Speaker 1: those are three things that each of these women are
- 6:59Speaker 1: going through. And I think the Luca Lorelai one is
- 7:01Speaker 1: the cleanest one. It's the other two are just messes.
- 7:06Speaker 1: It's got yeah, and they the entanglements of those bookend relationships.
- 7:14Speaker 1: But the Luca Laureli thing is clean. It's pristine. It's yes,
- 7:19Speaker 1: it's it's it's been percolating for a while, but it's
- 7:22Speaker 1: ready to be served. It's adult. For all the flaws
- 7:26Speaker 1: that both Luke and Lorelai debatably have, they are acting
- 7:32Speaker 1: like adults. They are vulnerable, they are even insecure, but
- 7:36Speaker 1: they are adults who muddled through that awkward conversation and
- 7:41Speaker 1: came out the other side so beautifully. Thanks to Luke too,
- 7:45Speaker 1: because I think it was Luke that really said, we
- 7:48Speaker 1: need to explain what we're talking, you know, like it
- 7:50Speaker 1: was so much innuendo in this dance, and Luke really
- 7:53Speaker 1: calls it up and goes like, wait a minute, you know,
- 7:57Speaker 1: And then that was when they got on the same page.
- 8:01Speaker 1: They're communicating, Yes, they're communicating while still remaining guarded and
- 8:08Speaker 1: keeping their dignity. So what did you think about the
- 8:11Speaker 1: technique of And I get why because it's been July
- 8:17Speaker 1: August three months plus maybe June July almost four months
- 8:24Speaker 1: since we've ended. So they do that technique sort of
- 8:27Speaker 1: of the back in time with a different perspective that
- 8:31Speaker 1: I'm so curious if they shot I'm assuming they shot
- 8:34Speaker 1: it back in June. Oh sure, I mean sorry, not
- 8:39Speaker 1: June May, which would have been in April, March whatever.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Maybe not, maybe not. The redid it. It had a
- 8:45Speaker 1: different feel to it. It had a new feel to it.
- 8:48Speaker 1: It had a new director feel to it. It had
- 8:50Speaker 1: a new Season five feel to it, Yeah, because I was.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I was debating that too, but I thought, nah, that's scripted,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and they didn't shoot that at the end of season four.
- 9:01Speaker 1: That's especially when they were like in bed right right right,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Dean lurking the Dean the other
- 9:08Speaker 1: side of the like the other side of the house
- 9:09Speaker 1: and listening like would they know, would they know when
- 9:13Speaker 1: they're filming the season finale, what's going to come for
- 9:16Speaker 1: the next season? Like do the like do does Amy
- 9:19Speaker 1: have an idea or you know, I don't recall. Maybe
- 9:24Speaker 1: she had those conversations with Lauren and Alexis about what
- 9:27Speaker 1: was coming and what they're prepared for, but I don't
- 9:30Speaker 1: think so. I didn't. It's directed by Amy, by the way,
- 9:33Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, she seemed to craft them a little bit,
- 9:37Speaker 1: but I you know, yeah, but it was so smart.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You showed up to the table reading and you got this,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and you got the scripted night before and you sort
- 9:45Speaker 1: of went through it. We watched this two weeks ago, right,
- 9:48Speaker 1: but I still needed the refresher so like, literally I
- 9:51Speaker 1: can only imagine the audience who saw this in June
- 9:55Speaker 1: or whatever it's now watching in September. It just brings
- 9:58Speaker 1: you right back to the you know, like you're like, oh,
- 10:02Speaker 1: that did happen? Oh my god? And then you get
- 10:04Speaker 1: it right right right, Oh genius. But they're in bed
- 10:08Speaker 1: together and you're seeing things you didn't see. That's the
- 10:13Speaker 1: most important part. Did you see how Dean reacted after
- 10:16Speaker 1: you saw them in bed before their conversation, like, and
- 10:19Speaker 1: then you see Lorelai talk to Rory right after, Like
- 10:23Speaker 1: you're getting all these nuggets that you didn't get in
- 10:25Speaker 1: the finale. That's making it makes sense. Yes, for me,
- 10:30Speaker 1: it was a ten out of ten open because not
- 10:37Speaker 1: only was I getting the recap, which you know, a
- 10:39Speaker 1: lazy TV show would have just been like previously and
- 10:42Speaker 1: given me all that, but this gives me the same
- 10:46Speaker 1: scene with a totally different perspective and giving me more
- 10:51Speaker 1: of Dean and Rory in bed, which we can talk
- 10:53Speaker 1: about because there's sort of an awkwardness comes where I'm like, oh, yeah,
- 10:59Speaker 1: of the back the petting. Yes, yes so, But I
- 11:04Speaker 1: think it was important to film that scene with Dean
- 11:07Speaker 1: list from Dean's point of view right right, to let
- 11:11Speaker 1: the audience know that, hey, you know, this season, or
- 11:14Speaker 1: least this batch of episodes, this is important stuff for
- 11:17Speaker 1: Dean and role. Yeah wait, Scott, that is such a
- 11:20Speaker 1: good point And I didn't really realize that until you
- 11:23Speaker 1: just said it. It was from Dean's point of view,
- 11:26Speaker 1: like we didn't and he was such a the bad
- 11:29Speaker 1: guy you know in the finale, and now you're seeing
- 11:31Speaker 1: it from his point of view. Whoa, I just got
- 11:34Speaker 1: a little mindbone with that like that. Yeah, it's like
- 11:36Speaker 1: Dean has graduated now to being a series regular and
- 11:40Speaker 1: main character that we're going to cover. We need to
- 11:43Speaker 1: cover his angles, we need to cover view So they
- 11:47Speaker 1: did that, so he's really in the story now. He
- 11:50Speaker 1: says I love you, Oh yeah, I love you Corey,
- 11:54Speaker 1: and she says I love you too. And the thing
- 11:57Speaker 1: that I also love that so Gilmoury and genius. Just
- 12:00Speaker 1: as it's sappy mcsappie and almost too sappy for me,
- 12:06Speaker 1: this you know, perfect moment, I'm happy? Are you happy?
- 12:09Speaker 1: And then she busts out the candy man to give
- 12:14Speaker 1: me instead of that, and it just gave me that
- 12:16Speaker 1: ah ha ha ha, you know, like it was like
- 12:19Speaker 1: it just was that moment you needed in this sort
- 12:22Speaker 1: of lovey situation that also is you're like so tense
- 12:27Speaker 1: about it. Because you're like, I know that Oh go ahead, no,
- 12:32Speaker 1: go ahead, I know that song is going to come
- 12:34Speaker 1: back to haunt us though, I'm like, that song is
- 12:36Speaker 1: gonna come back? Do you know? Do you know what
- 12:39Speaker 1: the significance is is it was the first movie they
- 12:42Speaker 1: watched together when they had a date at Rory's house
- 12:50Speaker 1: with Laura. Really, that was the film they want, So
- 12:53Speaker 1: wait a minute, what was the film? Then you're gonna
- 12:59Speaker 1: say candy Man, the horror film. Oh no, it's a
- 13:01Speaker 1: song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I thought of
- 13:04Speaker 1: the horror film too. Wait, Candynny Davis song, candy Man
- 13:09Speaker 1: isn't Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yeah. Sure, that's a
- 13:14Speaker 1: good piece of pop culture knowledge right there. Hello Laura,
- 13:17Speaker 1: Now I'm down. I'm throwing a flag down. I'll bet
- 13:22Speaker 1: you two dollars you're run hope you candy Man isn't.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I mean it would make sense. It's kind of an
- 13:28Speaker 1: upbeat song. You're right. Yeah, And they did watch Willy Wonka.
- 13:32Speaker 1: That was their first ivy Oh, taraw you two dollars? Sorry? Wow?
- 13:38Speaker 1: I had a couple of zeros thinking about Tara with
- 13:42Speaker 1: the win there. Yeah, good pop culture. Victory really a
- 13:46Speaker 1: big victory, Scott, he has a victory. Tara got a
- 13:49Speaker 1: victory culture. Go w she's gonna have to she's got
- 13:55Speaker 1: special privileges. Now when we do pop culture, you're gonna
- 13:58Speaker 1: have to get out of her. Well not that good
- 13:59Speaker 1: at ball? What did you think of that? I'm happy?
- 14:09Speaker 1: Are you happy? Moment? I'm happy? Are you happy? I
- 14:14Speaker 1: hated the This is this right here is a textbook
- 14:17Speaker 1: definition of a perfect moment. I'm like, it's not perfect, dude,
- 14:20Speaker 1: I don't tell but but but it was. But it was.
- 14:25Speaker 1: And they had to do that because they were both
- 14:28Speaker 1: going back into the real world where that kind of
- 14:31Speaker 1: thing ain't kosher, and they're gonna both get a you know,
- 14:37Speaker 1: they have this moment of of real love for one another.
- 14:43Speaker 1: The timing is so bad. He's married. It's not what
- 14:46Speaker 1: they should be doing, and they're going to return to
- 14:49Speaker 1: their their perspective worlds and really take heat for it,
- 14:54Speaker 1: which they should return to their respective world, but their fantasy.
- 15:01Speaker 1: They're living out their fantasy in the real world and
- 15:05Speaker 1: it feels good for the moment, but boy, there are consequences. Boy,
- 15:09Speaker 1: they both ever wanted Rory to have a full bed
- 15:13Speaker 1: more though the twin was just the same. I would
- 15:16Speaker 1: have been okay, childhood bedrooms, so I kind of get it,
- 15:25Speaker 1: But it would have been better if they were in
- 15:28Speaker 1: a Vegas penthouse with a huge rotating bed. Yeah, I
- 15:33Speaker 1: got a Vegas. That brings up a good point, though
- 15:36Speaker 1: it's got I understand it was in the heat of
- 15:38Speaker 1: the moment, but like, who really, I just don't think
- 15:42Speaker 1: Rory's doing that in her childhood bedroom, Like, why didn't
- 15:47Speaker 1: they just find a room at the end. I know
- 15:48Speaker 1: there wasn't one, but well they they yaked it out
- 15:51Speaker 1: and in Miss Patties on an now Gilbert record, Yeah,
- 15:54Speaker 1: oh yeah, you know, but well I don't know. I mean,
- 16:02Speaker 1: I feel like that's like a pretty normal thing to do,
- 16:05Speaker 1: but I think didn't. Don't you think Rory, for her
- 16:07Speaker 1: first time, wanted to feel super safe in her Yeah childhood? Yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 1: I also followed. He also followed her. It's not like
- 16:14Speaker 1: she had planned that, like not in that moment. Somebody asked,
- 16:19Speaker 1: um this on Instagram. What was he doing there? Hm,
- 16:25Speaker 1: she ran home to get the CDs. What was he
- 16:28Speaker 1: doing there? Or did he just go over to get
- 16:33Speaker 1: to her? I think he just went over to get
- 16:35Speaker 1: the almost kiss. Probably the scribe, yeah, but I think
- 16:41Speaker 1: if it was my guest, he probably was like, this
- 16:43Speaker 1: is a moment. I have a loan with her, not
- 16:44Speaker 1: for that reason, but right to talk to her. You know,
- 16:48Speaker 1: she her lie to lore lies. He came to borrow something.
- 16:51Speaker 1: But like, we don't ever really learn why was he
- 16:56Speaker 1: there other than he must have just followed her, right, yeah,
- 17:00Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think we know well.
- 17:06Speaker 1: And then we do see the mystery door on the deck, right,
- 17:08Speaker 1: didn't we learn that that door wasn't actually always there,
- 17:14Speaker 1: that they had to create it for those scenes that
- 17:16Speaker 1: are shot on the deck. It was, it was there,
- 17:20Speaker 1: but it wasn't dressed as it wasn't dressed. Okay, okay, okay, okay,
- 17:24Speaker 1: so then they dress it so they can shoot those scenes.
- 17:28Speaker 1: There's only a minor amount of scenes that take place
- 17:32Speaker 1: on that deck. Yeah, that was on a sound stage.
- 17:37Speaker 1: So that was on a sound stitch the head to
- 17:39Speaker 1: do things. And it still is painful for me. When
- 17:42Speaker 1: Lindsay answers, it's like, oh, well is it I mean
- 17:47Speaker 1: we're jumping, but it's it's not really, I don't know.
- 17:50Speaker 1: You never got to know, Lindsay at all. I mean,
- 17:53Speaker 1: you didn't. They didn't show Lindsay in a very good light.
- 17:56Speaker 1: And then and then finally, now now we get to
- 17:58Speaker 1: see her in her element and we smpathies, start sympathizing
- 18:01Speaker 1: with her. Yeah. Yes, and now I'm feeling guilty. It's like, geez, man,
- 18:06Speaker 1: you know, she's pretty sweet kid, and she was so
- 18:09Speaker 1: good and you know, there was something I told him.
- 18:16Speaker 1: She was there getting CDs. Okay, morel I told Jan
- 18:21Speaker 1: just showed up. Lorel I told him. That's so that
- 18:23Speaker 1: was the issues, all right. So they almost had they
- 18:25Speaker 1: almost had there getting the CDs. So they almost had
- 18:29Speaker 1: the kiss at the end. Remember, so there was this
- 18:31Speaker 1: like sexual tension between the two of them. Then Lorelai
- 18:34Speaker 1: sends Rory to go home to get CDs for the
- 18:37Speaker 1: end and tells Dan that, oh, Rory went home to
- 18:40Speaker 1: get some CDs. So then he went right. But there
- 18:46Speaker 1: wasn't like go help or find a CD. It just starts.
- 18:49Speaker 1: It's not like they're on others the other side of
- 18:51Speaker 1: the world and they're you know, sniffing each other out
- 18:55Speaker 1: so powerful. They're in the same count. He's down the street.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Isn't the in super close to the Rory and Lorelis.
- 19:02Speaker 1: I think, so, yeah, everything's pretty close proximize. Yeah. So okay,
- 19:07Speaker 1: before we keep going, all that that we just talked
- 19:10Speaker 1: about is before the credits roll, Like that was a
- 19:14Speaker 1: freaking ten out of ten that it was different kind
- 19:18Speaker 1: of opening. It was a little shocking, Yeah, to see
- 19:22Speaker 1: our beloved Rory, you know, in her birthday suit and
- 19:27Speaker 1: yes with Dean, it was like, this is a different show.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Is this Gilmore girls? What's going on here? This is
- 19:33Speaker 1: getting a little steamy. Things are getting steamy and stars hollow.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So Scott, I want to analyze that for a minute,
- 19:40Speaker 1: because it's not like I'm not an adult and I've
- 19:43Speaker 1: watched like adult shows, right, but for some reason, on
- 19:47Speaker 1: this one, whenever anyone is like other than Kirk, dude,
- 19:52Speaker 1: naked whatever word you remember, I got weird when Loureli
- 19:56Speaker 1: was all sexy sexy in her neglige with like digger
- 20:00Speaker 1: and now it is that because this is such a
- 20:02Speaker 1: wholesome show. Like literally, I think you're asking the question,
- 20:07Speaker 1: why does why does nudity and sexuality feel so wrong
- 20:11Speaker 1: in this show? So that's the question you're asking and
- 20:15Speaker 1: the answer is because it does. Yeah, because this show
- 20:20Speaker 1: is not about sexuality, and it's about growth. It's about
- 20:26Speaker 1: time passing in a small town and a community that
- 20:30Speaker 1: supports each other has But this is, you know, the natural.
- 20:35Speaker 1: You've got to stay true to these characters, right, I
- 20:38Speaker 1: mean they're going to if they don't have these experience,
- 20:40Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot of Another thing I
- 20:42Speaker 1: found a little jarring is that you take Laying away
- 20:47Speaker 1: from her mom and it's a lot less entertaining. Not
- 20:51Speaker 1: that Keiko isn't great or Lane isn't great by herself,
- 20:53Speaker 1: but we'll get into that. You know, I'm not going
- 20:55Speaker 1: to debate that because I have some thoughts on it
- 20:58Speaker 1: on Lane that are different. On that. I think I
- 21:03Speaker 1: think that sexualizing these characters um is risky. I think
- 21:10Speaker 1: it's a real risk. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And even
- 21:13Speaker 1: like when when Suki's pregnant, it's so like did the
- 21:17Speaker 1: stork do it? Do you know what I mean? Because
- 21:19Speaker 1: it's like exactly, like it's like a musical. It's like
- 21:24Speaker 1: a Broadway musical. It's so it's like such vomiting sunshine
- 21:28Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah, the show doesn't go there
- 21:30Speaker 1: like that. The show doesn't go there exactly. And and
- 21:33Speaker 1: and you couldn't have hit the nail more on the
- 21:36Speaker 1: head by brithing. We get a lot of kissing. Very
- 21:42Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's it's the tease, it's the building
- 21:45Speaker 1: up to it. It's all of that wholesomely right right, no, no, right,
- 21:50Speaker 1: gee right. It's like when you dropped white and pretty charming. Yeah, man,
- 21:58Speaker 1: so when you have Rory naked in bed for that,
- 22:01Speaker 1: that's the married guy that ge feels like a double
- 22:05Speaker 1: X on a PG show like that, doesn't it. I mean,
- 22:07Speaker 1: let's play off the alphabet game, Scott. Yes, it suddenly
- 22:12Speaker 1: feels like or something. It doesn't when she when she
- 22:16Speaker 1: even said to Lane in that scene, you know, getting
- 22:20Speaker 1: yackadoodle and miss Patty's over now, i'l Gilbert record, I'm like,
- 22:25Speaker 1: what did that just come out of her mouth? I
- 22:28Speaker 1: totally agree, it's so And what did you do it?
- 22:30Speaker 1: Once you got the hang of it, I wanted to
- 22:34Speaker 1: die and I'm like, God, damn it, I sort of
- 22:44Speaker 1: cringe to love it, Like I'm all I love it.
- 22:47Speaker 1: That's really that's a hell of an opening. Uh. I mean,
- 22:51Speaker 1: it's like just just we've been waiting for this, just
- 22:54Speaker 1: going punch us in the face about twenty times, have
- 22:58Speaker 1: a nice summer. Oh yeah, we've all been talking for
- 23:02Speaker 1: what how long? Twenty minutes and we're just to the credits.
- 23:06Speaker 1: That's how major that opening is. So I did notice
- 23:09Speaker 1: there's just a few new clips in the credits, but
- 23:11Speaker 1: the credits are basically the same as we've had. Like,
- 23:14Speaker 1: there wasn't anything too new or in do you know
- 23:17Speaker 1: what I'm talking about? In the opening credits, they were
- 23:19Speaker 1: basically the same. I saw a little bit a couple
- 23:22Speaker 1: of new clips anyway. Okay, so now we go. So
- 23:27Speaker 1: we've got Richard and Emily just solo trapesing around the house,
- 23:33Speaker 1: going down to the cellar, getting the European luggage, making
- 23:37Speaker 1: a mess. They're having the big fight. She calls out
- 23:39Speaker 1: Pendelin a lot. She's gonna go to Europe and have
- 23:43Speaker 1: two glasses of wine. She's dragging her Louis Hutan's around.
- 23:46Speaker 1: She's stuck in the cellar calling it. The security comes.
- 23:49Speaker 1: It's just a mess. The banter was so good though
- 23:54Speaker 1: it was. They were one of my favorite lines. I
- 23:57Speaker 1: actually wrote it down. I'll just say my favorite line
- 23:59Speaker 1: because Richard, only prostitutes have two glasses of wine at lunch,
- 24:02Speaker 1: and I'm like goes, well, then buy me a bowa
- 24:04Speaker 1: and drive me to Reno because I'm open for business. Yeah,
- 24:08Speaker 1: there's this so funny. There's this part where she's there
- 24:12Speaker 1: like arguing, and she's storming through the house and there's
- 24:14Speaker 1: just this like palm tree right here, and she just
- 24:17Speaker 1: hits the palm tree. Okay, just keeps rocking. I'm like,
- 24:20Speaker 1: that was so good. I just couldn't believe when she's
- 24:24Speaker 1: taking her skirt off crawling out the window. They're just unhinged.
- 24:28Speaker 1: It's so But Richard and Emily, you know who she
- 24:32Speaker 1: brings up again, it's pendelin Lot. It's crazy that Penelon
- 24:37Speaker 1: only had one episode. I agree with you, Daniel apparance
- 24:41Speaker 1: and she's crazy. Yes, Tara is so significant one appearance.
- 24:45Speaker 1: So I don't like when mom and dad fight. Do
- 24:49Speaker 1: you know saying I don't like the Gilmour's fighting. It's
- 24:53Speaker 1: so I like to watch it. Don't get me wrong,
- 24:56Speaker 1: It's not like I'm not enjoying this scene, but but
- 25:01Speaker 1: I don't like it. Like they've been together thirty nine years. Like,
- 25:08Speaker 1: do you think Richard shut the door like locked it
- 25:10Speaker 1: or it was just jammed? I thought he locked it.
- 25:14Speaker 1: I'm sure think he locked it because then he started
- 25:16Speaker 1: playing piano. Right after He's like, I can't hear anything.
- 25:20Speaker 1: You know that Richard's moving into the pool house. We're
- 25:22Speaker 1: done with this, like Emily living at a hotel. But
- 25:25Speaker 1: you know what was so real hashtag relatable. So I'm
- 25:29Speaker 1: from a small town too, and like anytime the police
- 25:33Speaker 1: are called, it does end up in the police blotter.
- 25:35Speaker 1: I don't know if it's called the police blotter, but
- 25:37Speaker 1: it's like the my town had this and that written
- 25:41Speaker 1: by Edith blaz not kidding this and that, all the
- 25:47Speaker 1: police calls, just anything that happened. There weren't very many
- 25:51Speaker 1: police calls in that town. One like a squirrel got
- 25:54Speaker 1: out of control and ate some hedges or something. I digress.
- 26:03Speaker 1: But one time I couldn't find my mom. She was
- 26:06Speaker 1: just not answering the phone and not answering the phone,
- 26:09Speaker 1: and I'm just panicking and panicking. So I you know,
- 26:11Speaker 1: we live in a little small town. So I call
- 26:12Speaker 1: the police and I'm like, not nine one one, Obviously
- 26:15Speaker 1: I knew what I was doing. I called the police
- 26:17Speaker 1: and I'm like, I can't find my mom, and they're like, oh,
- 26:21Speaker 1: we'll go do a wellness check, probably picturing like a
- 26:23Speaker 1: ninety year old lady. My mom is like not, she's
- 26:27Speaker 1: like very young. Turns out she was over at the neighbors.
- 26:31Speaker 1: So the police are knocking on all the doors because
- 26:34Speaker 1: they can't find her, and the one neighbor's like, oh,
- 26:36Speaker 1: she's down at that neighbor's and the police show up there,
- 26:39Speaker 1: and my mom has her little like cocktail and she's
- 26:42Speaker 1: over at the neighbors and she looks around and she's like,
- 26:45Speaker 1: I forgot my cell phone. I'm gonna be in trouble,
- 26:47Speaker 1: and goes running home and calls us and she's like,
- 26:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna end up in the paper. So it was
- 26:55Speaker 1: just hashta relatable, like if you're in a small town,
- 26:58Speaker 1: that was real. Yeah, so I think there is a
- 27:03Speaker 1: lot of significance of this scene. But I'm sorry, but
- 27:06Speaker 1: they're talking about Hartford. They're in Hartford. That's not a
- 27:09Speaker 1: small town. So that's different small community. Yeah, it's not Chicago.
- 27:15Speaker 1: It's not stars Hollow, you know what I mean? True,
- 27:17Speaker 1: that would be even crazier, right, What the heck is
- 27:21Speaker 1: she even talking about a police blotterer in Hartford, Connecticut.
- 27:26Speaker 1: It's it's like, does that exist? At ours is in
- 27:30Speaker 1: the Contra Costa Sun and that would be all the
- 27:34Speaker 1: five communities, and it has like the police calls and
- 27:38Speaker 1: literally it could have been like, wellness, check on grandma.
- 27:41Speaker 1: She was down at the neighbors having a cocktail. Was real. Yeah,
- 27:50Speaker 1: harsh one, Scott, what did you think of? Nope, You're
- 27:52Speaker 1: no longer the woman I married. It's a tough set.
- 27:58Speaker 1: That's a tough clap back, right. Yeah. I don't like
- 28:03Speaker 1: saying that. This is what I was about to say.
- 28:07Speaker 1: I think this scene just really puts Emily's thought process
- 28:13Speaker 1: front and center because it's like, after thirty nine years
- 28:16Speaker 1: of marriage, she actually doesn't know what her marriage is anymore.
- 28:20Speaker 1: And with when after Richard said that she said, the
- 28:24Speaker 1: woman you married was your partner, you respected her, you
- 28:27Speaker 1: consulted her. I'm definitely not the woman you married anymore.
- 28:30Speaker 1: And like I think she's like taking that to heart
- 28:33Speaker 1: and she's like, you know what, I'm not that person
- 28:37Speaker 1: to him anymore. So you know what, I'm going to
- 28:39Speaker 1: rebel and do my own thing. Okay, great, it's all great, Yay,
- 28:45Speaker 1: great issues, let's talk about him. But Gilmore Girls is
- 28:49Speaker 1: a if Gilmore Girls were a city Emily and Richard
- 28:55Speaker 1: would be one of the tallest and strongest most of it.
- 28:58Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with you. I mean,
- 29:01Speaker 1: you've got the you've got the Laurel Library building. You've
- 29:04Speaker 1: got you know, that's the biggest, and I don't understand
- 29:07Speaker 1: why they want to tear this down. I agree with you. There,
- 29:10Speaker 1: We're used to everyone looking kind of messy and having
- 29:13Speaker 1: their you gotta have, you gotta have one safe port.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Why do I kind of like it? Like the safe port?
- 29:21Speaker 1: To me is Luke? Like, why don't I kind of
- 29:23Speaker 1: like Emily and Richard? Wouldn't you look at her? Look
- 29:26Speaker 1: at nobody's like I like it? You know, Danielle makes
- 29:30Speaker 1: an interesting point, what do you think of that that
- 29:32Speaker 1: for her, Luke is the steady pillar that it isn't
- 29:38Speaker 1: actually Emily and Richard, that it's Luke. I don't know
- 29:42Speaker 1: where I stand on that, but I think that's interesting.
- 29:45Speaker 1: But as an individual, as an institution in that town.
- 29:50Speaker 1: But I'm what I'm talking about his family, and he's
- 29:53Speaker 1: not family. I mean, he is by way of extension,
- 29:57Speaker 1: extended family. But but I'm talking about you know, one
- 30:00Speaker 1: of the pillars of the show is that house that
- 30:06Speaker 1: relationship Richard and Emily, you know, providing stability, providing port
- 30:13Speaker 1: during the storm for both Rory and and and Laurela,
- 30:17Speaker 1: no matter how triggered they are by their past with
- 30:21Speaker 1: so now that it's being deconstructed, it's it's a little
- 30:26Speaker 1: confusing for me as an audience. Yeah, and I don't
- 30:29Speaker 1: like it. I don't want to. I don't I do
- 30:31Speaker 1: not want to take this journey as an audience. I'm like, no,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to see what
- 30:36Speaker 1: happens in Europe. I'm hoping they get together. You know
- 30:40Speaker 1: what's kind to be interesting, Tara, don't you think that,
- 30:43Speaker 1: like as this season goes, these will be really interesting
- 30:47Speaker 1: conversations because you and I know what happens. Yes, I think.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I'm not going to give anything away, but this season
- 30:54Speaker 1: I think is a big change and kind of where
- 30:57Speaker 1: I my perspective of changes on a lot of the
- 31:01Speaker 1: characters because of the conversations and things that happen. And
- 31:05Speaker 1: I'll be honest, like, my first time watching this season through,
- 31:07Speaker 1: I didn't like it. I think because there's so much
- 31:11Speaker 1: that happened and I taking my cans off. Scott come back,
- 31:19Speaker 1: You're okay? You're okay, come back now, Scott, Yeah, come back.
- 31:23Speaker 1: I'm shivering in the backyard, sure, behind a tree. This
- 31:27Speaker 1: is my Scott. This is my most favorite season of
- 31:30Speaker 1: the whole series by far. Yeah. I think I did
- 31:34Speaker 1: say that just because I think it was kind of
- 31:36Speaker 1: a shock in the beginning. But we're also I think
- 31:39Speaker 1: my first time watching it through, I wasn't sitting and
- 31:41Speaker 1: going one by one like I really binged it through,
- 31:44Speaker 1: you know, so it'll be different to having these conversations. Um.
- 31:49Speaker 1: But I was also going to say that I think
- 31:52Speaker 1: with Emily and Richard, it's one of those situations where
- 31:55Speaker 1: you see them as this picture perfect family, or so
- 31:58Speaker 1: they're supposed to be, so when something like this happens,
- 32:01Speaker 1: it's like you don't want to see what happens behind
- 32:04Speaker 1: closed doors, Like you kind of want to keep them
- 32:06Speaker 1: like they've been married for thirty some years and they're perfect,
- 32:11Speaker 1: and they're they have everything. You know, there, who wants
- 32:14Speaker 1: to watch perfect? I don't know, I know, but that's
- 32:18Speaker 1: why it's like it's like shocking. I enjoy I mean
- 32:21Speaker 1: not that I enjoy them fighting, but like I like
- 32:24Speaker 1: the scenes that they were having, but it's hard to
- 32:27Speaker 1: be like, Oh, they're going through something just like everyone else.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I agree with you, there's there's a there's a there's
- 32:33Speaker 1: something to be said for um, you know, depicting reality
- 32:37Speaker 1: in that way where it's entertaining. And of course they
- 32:41Speaker 1: can stay together and still fight, and still fight and
- 32:43Speaker 1: disagree and have their but still be the bedrock and
- 32:47Speaker 1: still stay together. And I you know, I'm kind of
- 32:50Speaker 1: wondering people listening in, um, let us know how you
- 32:54Speaker 1: feel about this? Did it trigger you? What were you know?
- 32:56Speaker 1: Because not everybody you know, a lot of you know what,
- 32:58Speaker 1: fifty sixty of the audience came from broken homes, right,
- 33:04Speaker 1: And how did this trigger you? How? How did this
- 33:06Speaker 1: impact you? What's going on with Richard and Emily? Because
- 33:10Speaker 1: it doesn't sit well with me? And I think you
- 33:12Speaker 1: can you can have them together and fighting and working
- 33:17Speaker 1: out their issues, but have them working out their issues
- 33:19Speaker 1: because that's what the show is, right Yeah. Yeah, And
- 33:23Speaker 1: that's why this is so jarring because now we're getting
- 33:26Speaker 1: sexualized character. We're you know, it's like the real world
- 33:30Speaker 1: is encroaching on our little fairy tale show here, and
- 33:34Speaker 1: I personally think it's the wrong direction to go. I'm
- 33:38Speaker 1: still gonna go. I'm still entertained by the episode. I
- 33:40Speaker 1: still think it's great, but this is a whole different
- 33:42Speaker 1: animal in my opinion, and I don't know if I'm
- 33:46Speaker 1: going to like it as much as I like season four.
- 33:48Speaker 1: I'll be interested. Well, I would love to venture that
- 33:52Speaker 1: you will. You will have a hard go and then
- 33:55Speaker 1: you're going to love it. Richard is definitely showing up
- 34:00Speaker 1: in Europe. Don't worry. Oh what are you telling me why?
- 34:04Speaker 1: I want to know? He probably doesn't. It's just my my,
- 34:10Speaker 1: Still you are still in this He's he gonna roll
- 34:14Speaker 1: up on a gondola in Venice with Dean. He's gone
- 34:19Speaker 1: back to Europe and get our girls get on a plane.
- 34:24Speaker 1: The same night. He's like, we're still in the same
- 34:27Speaker 1: night from the end of the season four, all right,
- 34:30Speaker 1: so we'll probably have to do a three partner on
- 34:32Speaker 1: this one. It is still the same night. So then
- 34:40Speaker 1: they go back to the inn and Kirk is on
- 34:43Speaker 1: the couch with all the rose What are those called
- 34:47Speaker 1: rose pickles? What? What? Sorry? Rose pickles? What are you
- 34:57Speaker 1: smoking up there in the northern California area? Is it
- 35:00Speaker 1: in the air? So Luke and Lorelei are now back
- 35:07Speaker 1: at the end together, right, and it's like, this is
- 35:12Speaker 1: where we have the scene that's just so phenomenal, right,
- 35:16Speaker 1: because Kirk has seen them kissing, and so he says,
- 35:21Speaker 1: you know, I went running out past Luke and Lorily kissing.
- 35:25Speaker 1: He's like, wait, excuse me, like what like? And so
- 35:31Speaker 1: then you get that moment between Luke and Suki. That
- 35:35Speaker 1: was the best moment we've ever seen between the two
- 35:39Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was just a
- 35:47Speaker 1: joy to see that. I just I didn't remember it
- 35:50Speaker 1: at all. I do have great memories of working with Melissa,
- 35:55Speaker 1: and that really brought it, brought it all back. You know,
- 35:58Speaker 1: what a great scene. She's so good is the challenge
- 36:02Speaker 1: working with her was just keeping up with her, you know.
- 36:04Speaker 1: And Scott, I think you were amazing in that scene too,
- 36:09Speaker 1: And I love how like conscientious that's the right word.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Let her tell you you're so like doing the right thing.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Let her tell you, like, I don't know if she's
- 36:21Speaker 1: gonna want to blab this around. You know, Hey, Luke,
- 36:26Speaker 1: this is good. But what does that say about how
- 36:30Speaker 1: he am skills about the town, their relationship, his friendship,
- 36:38Speaker 1: as he protecting his protecting, he's putting her first. And
- 36:41Speaker 1: that's what I love. He's saying, I'm not just gonna
- 36:45Speaker 1: blab this all around or be presumptuous or think anything.
- 36:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this. I'm gonna put her first and
- 36:51Speaker 1: defer to her. That's what I felt he was saying.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I thought he I mean, he's not the kind of
- 36:57Speaker 1: guy that's gonna go skipping down the street and you
- 37:00Speaker 1: know singing candy Man. Hey, everybody seemed that the guy
- 37:08Speaker 1: that's gonna go on the gram and put it on
- 37:10Speaker 1: the grap He's gonna wake up and say this is
- 37:13Speaker 1: the twelve hour anniversary of free food for everyone Facebook
- 37:22Speaker 1: status right now. I think he just wants to make
- 37:25Speaker 1: sure Laurela like she She's like she wants it. It
- 37:31Speaker 1: wasn't just a fluke, right, and he's perfectly well, well
- 37:35Speaker 1: we'll get into that. But he's like he's even telling
- 37:38Speaker 1: her on the phone call like, look, if you're not
- 37:40Speaker 1: into this, I'm fine with it. You know, it doesn't
- 37:42Speaker 1: have to be around. I know he played it off
- 37:44Speaker 1: so cool. He did. He actually did. He convinced me
- 37:48Speaker 1: that he meant it exactly, like whatever answer you give me.
- 37:54Speaker 1: And Sukey was so adorable and so supportive. And so
- 37:58Speaker 1: thrilled about it. And I love when she says, Luke,
- 38:02Speaker 1: this is good and he says, I hope so right.
- 38:06Speaker 1: He is so in but he's also been very respectful
- 38:09Speaker 1: of like it's just a kiss so far, like you know,
- 38:15Speaker 1: you know, he's it's like he's just got called up
- 38:17Speaker 1: to the big leagues and he still has to get
- 38:19Speaker 1: driven to the airport to take the flight. He's not
- 38:21Speaker 1: at the airport yet, you know. So yeah, that's a
- 38:25Speaker 1: big moment for sure. Great scene, really great scene. Washed
- 38:29Speaker 1: it back a couple of times. Yeah, it's a great
- 38:33Speaker 1: it's a great moment, perfect tone, very gilmore, you know,
- 38:40Speaker 1: it's it's very sweet scene. It really is um and
- 38:44Speaker 1: right there in one scene you see why Melissa McCarthy's
- 38:47Speaker 1: such a big star. I agree. She was just amazing
- 38:50Speaker 1: in that. I mean it's like it was obvious before then,
- 38:53Speaker 1: but it's like if you needed any more convincing, here's
- 38:55Speaker 1: your convincer. This is the final convincer. This this this
- 38:58Speaker 1: one is gifted. So check this out. So how were
- 39:02Speaker 1: you feeling, Scott watching this? Like kind of seeing like
- 39:08Speaker 1: this is big and like I just would love to know,
- 39:10Speaker 1: like when you're watching it, like, how what were you
- 39:12Speaker 1: feeling other than yes, this is an amazing scene and
- 39:15Speaker 1: Melissa's amazing, but like emotionally about these characters. Um, you know,
- 39:21Speaker 1: the thrill for me was watching her work and just
- 39:25Speaker 1: knowing that I was in a scene with somebody like that, Yeah,
- 39:30Speaker 1: who went on to do great things and be recognized
- 39:34Speaker 1: globally for the talent that she is, And I just
- 39:37Speaker 1: feel I just felt lucky. It's like, wow, this is
- 39:39Speaker 1: really cool. You know, Yeah, my kid's going to see this.
- 39:43Speaker 1: You know, my grandkids are going to see this. Maybe
- 39:46Speaker 1: the thing about her that I really like is that
- 39:49Speaker 1: she never doesn't appreciate Gilmore Girls, meaning like when you
- 39:54Speaker 1: hear her do interviews, it's always with such fondness reverence.
- 40:02Speaker 1: She always talks about Gilmore Girls, and you see that

- 40:19Speaker 1: the intensity of the work and the dialogue, and you know,
- 40:23Speaker 1: it was a unique experience, it really is. I saw
- 40:26Speaker 1: a clip of Zogree It's an older clip, but it's
- 40:28Speaker 1: not battled goes out on Fallon and the first thing
- 40:32Speaker 1: he says is like, I hear your team, Jess. I
- 40:34Speaker 1: saw that. I just thought the other day. He looks
- 40:38Speaker 1: Zogree looks so cute when he's doing that, because you
- 40:40Speaker 1: can tell like that's a big deal. He's going on Balon,
- 40:43Speaker 1: he's like promoting the resident. He's all gussied up, but
- 40:45Speaker 1: he's so leans in because Balin was like, is a
- 40:48Speaker 1: big Gilmore fan. So I think this would be a
