Crimson Platypus 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2005 I did hesitate using the word "girly" as that's not quite what I mean. Bleh, who cares really, like you said RRR, they are quick witted and quirky. Oh, and hot. btw, I always felt a little creepy for thinking Alexis Bledel is hot, then I looked at her DOB, she's 24 now! I always thought she was much younger than that. Now I can stare and not be dirty old man about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2005 I absofuckinglutely love this show. The writing and delivery of the dialogue is so crisp. Not to mention Lauren Graham is a fucking goddess (see Bad Santa for proof). Also, Scott Patterson who plays Luke was an ex-MLB player with a stint with my beloved LA Dodgers.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2005 There's lots of cameos and connections to my other favourite shows. Seth McFarlane was a bit of a surprise, Scott Patterson was the guy with the sideburns that Elaine dated on Seinfeld, there's CSI and The Shield actors (not main characters) in it, and then Bruce FN McCullough as Tobin, Michels nemisis.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Was it Luke pushing Jess into the water? If so, that's one of my all time faves. At the time, I was like "aw, this is kind of a nice moment - them walking side-by-side and all..." and then Luke becomes GOD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 You know me too well, Rudo. That or you bear an encyclopedic knowledge of your Gilmore Girls boxed sets. But yeah you see Jess and Luke both blow up at each other, and they have the same pissed-off walk as they go down the bridge, cuz they're family and all, then all of a sudden, down he goes. Awesome. Oh, I just saw the "poor bunny" moment. Golden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 "Poor Bunny" is entrenched in my lexicon. I had to go to TV.com to see what episode it was, so I'm are not quite there yet... yet. Not to get all wrestley, but Jess took a nice bump falling into the water. I also liked the scene where Jess sass-talks Lorelai, and we get to see Mrs. Gilmore get nastay *snap snap snap* I started watching the episodes again, because I figure 3 or 4 weeks is a good buffer and I don't want to Firefly it in terms of overexposure. I think the first episode in the second season is a tremendous "introductory" episode. It has the right amount of humour, gets most of the character spots in, and has one of my favourite scenes (when the grandmother tells Richard to apologize to Rory after finding out Lorelai got engaged). It provides some nice exposition on some of the characters without being forced, and the more scenes with Michel in it, the better. And I like it when all the townsfolk gather around to see Lorelai tell Luke and Kirk faints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No sir, you need to get on this GG shit. LORELAI: Huh. You know what I just realized? Oy is the funniest word in the entire world. RORY: Huh. LORELAI: I mean, think about it. You never hear the word oy and not smile. Impossible. Funny, funny word. EMILY: Oh, dear God. LORELAI: Poodle is another funny word. EMILY: Please drink your drink, Lorelai. LORELAI: In fact, if you put oy and poodle together in the same sentence, you'd have a great new catch phrase, you know? Like, oy with the poodles already. So from now on, when the perfect circumstances arise, we will use our favorite new catch phrase. RORY: Oy with the poodles already. LORELAI: I'm telling you, it's knocking ‘whatcha talking ‘bout, Willis?' right out of first place. EMILY: Lorelai, for God's sake, be quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2005 I'd like to get some opinions on the theme song for this show. Personally, I like parts of it and I hate parts of it.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 I think I found a successor to "Poor Bunny". It's either in the basket episode, or the debate episode in Season 2.

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted July 21, 2005 Rory: Okay, that's a good idea. But, if we went with that, we'd actually have to build a robot. Madeline: Yeah?

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 Season 3: A woman is breast feeding in Lukes Diner. Luke can't stand it and asks Lorelai to stop the lactating. Jess walks in. Sees it. GREAT disgusted/shocked look. Classic. One of my favourite things is when Graham says "DIRTY~!" after something like "Now I'm going to give Miss Patty my Gavel". And Jess does GREAT a Christopher Walken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 So I've downloaded and watched the first four episodes of Season 4. Here are my thoughts: - RORY CUT HER HAIR! WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME??!! GOD I HATE CHANGE. - Paris as her roomie, though I saw it coming, was still great. - The strange roomate is a welcome addition, I hope it lasts. - The naked guy is such a poor love interest for Rory. - The dude from the show that had Jennifer Grey in it and was desperately trying to be like Seinfeld except being set in LA instead of NY wants to be Richards' partner. I am CONFLICTED. - Sookie has lost weight. GAH more change! - Michel has hair. .... Let me tell you all something about me. I hate change. When they change some of the clips in the opening credits I get disoriented and then I have to adjust. I STILL HAVEN'T ADJUSTED TO SEASON 3 CHANGES. I like Season 2 - why can't it be like Season 2? This is all wrong. ALL WRONG. I sweartagad, if they change for season 5 I will be mighty peeved. - Despite the changes, the show still has its charm and has done a good job easing me into what I had thought were show-killing moves.

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted August 6, 2005 I checked out the last few episodes of the show and I know it's been said here already but I'll say it again. Rory is freaking hotter than a tin roof in August. I just saw that "study tree" episode and finally got to see her in some pants. Great legs that aren't too skinny, a nice waist to hip ratio and it looks like a nice BUTT as well. Than you get into her personality which is great too. The intelligence without being a snob which is a turn on and just the way she talks or maybe it's just the pheromones majically coming through the TV. I don't really know what it is. Perhaps it's the skirt and the tease of how good the goods are underneath the skirt which makes the payoff of seeing her in pants so great. Or maybe it's the thought that even intelligent girls are completely prone to their innermost desires. Or maybe I'm scaring people by putting too much thought into this. Really like the talk between Rory's mother and her grandmother. Good show overall for me which has its moments of complete genius. And thanks to checking out the TV guide a few minutes ago to see if the show was on tonight I realise that Samurai Jack is being shown on TV again! And I owe it all to this show. Though I'm confused on what to do now since I am completely screwed up on my episode viewing with missed episodes here and there along with tonight's episode almost being the end of the series.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 WOW! That Harvard/Yale episode was fucking INSANE. TOTAL BOMBSHELLS DROPPED YO! YOWZA. All that aside, Richard is an absolute riot in this - the wiffenpoofs, the dog, the fight songs. AWESOME. And WOW! RORY GOT HOT! Like, I've been flirting around with the issue but mainly decided up until now she was "cute" and nothing really, well, hot and sexxxy. And then, like somewhere in Season four -perhaps with the hair cut- she's like, shwoah, fuck me. This thing with Digger and Lorelai I am currently on the fence about. Danny Strong as the editor is annoying. MICHAEL FUCKING YORK! Every time I hear his voice I am forced to (when no one is around) speak out loud and talk like him. I actually knew of Paris and Yorks relationship as it was one of my earlier GG experiences and it just seemed to enforce the girly girl stigma the show had, but now there's intrigue~! The grandparents taking delight in Rorys hate-piece on the ballet was fantastic. And SEBASTIAN BACH~!!!! as the guitarest - tremenDOUS. Kirk with his WOMAN~! Kirk as JESUS!!! KIRK MOTHERFUCKER!

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted August 11, 2005 I hate you, RRR. Because of this thread, I checked out an episode last month. Then I watched another episode the following day. Now I watch the show in syndication every week day. I've also started watching the two-episode blocks of last season on The WB. Damn you, RRR, for hooking me on this show. Today's episode was the one where Luke searches for a new apartment. Kirk: "How much is this book?" Lady: "65 cents." Kirk: "I'll give you 50." Lady: "Kirk, it's for charity. There's no haggling." Kirk: "55." Lady: "Nope." Kirk: "60." Lady: "Kirk, why don't you just pay the extra 5 cents?" Kirk: "It's the principle. I won't pay it." (Kirk walks away and comes back a few minutes later) Kirk: "62 cents." Luke: "I walked around in a blind rage. I was crazy. I bought one of those Belgian waffles with the ice cream dipped in chocolate." Lorelai: "You ate that?" Luke: "No, I didn't eat it. I'm upset, not suicidal!" The ending of the episode was good too.
