  1. I get it, and I don't hate Lindsay.  I was 18 when I got married, and I worked 40 hours a week and went to college FT.  So did my husband.  It's difficult to imagine being in a position where my husband dropped out of college and worked three jobs without jumping in to help.  Most people who stay at home work first.

    I don't think anything justifies an affair though.

    I don't think encouraging someone to eat oatmeal after they've admitted to consuming every bit of coffee in their home (and this is Lorelai so there was likely a ton of coffee in that house) is being unreasonable, nor is trying to give fruit to someone who mostly consumes hamburgers, pizza, other kinds of take-out, candy, and caffeine. Maybe if he wasn't so close to them then I'd think he was being a nut about it but he's known them for years and they eat at his place at least five times a week- their visits there probably double when you add in all the times they go just to get coffee. Luke's probably watched them come in and get junk and coffee 8+ times a week for several years.

    I remember a bunch of comments, too, but most of them (except for the ones like in the series premiere) seemed joking to me.

    An adult trying to force another adult to eat something they don't like is unreasonable and obnoxious, regardless of the reason.

    He's definitely into living healthy but not a nut about it. In my opinion, health nuts are those people are almost fanatical about it and are pushy and obnoxious about other people's habits. Luke made a few comments about so much caffeine non being good for Lorelai and Rory (he wasn't wrong) but that's about it. 

    I think there were a few other little things.  He tried to make Rory eat half a grapefruit.  He made Lorelai eat oatmeal in one episode, even though she said she didn't like it because he said she needed something healthy.  He looked at all the junk in Lorelai's refrigerator and said she should weigh 500 lbs.  I'm sure there are others, that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

    Dean’s Mom had a job. I don’t think Lindsay was selfish for wanting a town house unless we know that Dean wanted her working and she was refusing. The bigger issue with that was Rory thought she had a right to an opinion on Lindsey and Dean’s decisions made as a couple.

    I think it was a little selfish that he had to work three jobs in order to afford a townhouse, when she worked none.  And they did have the argument at the inn where she complained that she just sits around all day waiting for him to call and he never does.  I bet someone with three jobs would love to have the opportunity to sit around all day.

    Abel Morrison seems like a goofball.  

    I think he's attractive in a dorky sort of way, and funny.  I bet he'd be a fun husband.  If he didn't already have three wives. 

    His brother had a little bit of a Chris Pratt thing going on in one of the photos they showed

    Who on earth green lighted the Chappaquidick movie? What’s the point?

    Right?  Why is that even a thing?  Is it because most of the Kennedys are dead now?  Even if it shows that he was negligent in killing her, he's dead, she's dead, most of her family is probably dead.  I think most of us suspect that he did it.

  7. Yes, and being that these were cutout cookies, they wouldn't have yeast.  Any amount of yeast is going to make the dough rise, which would distort the shape of the cookie.

  8. Lane's bachelorette party - Sookie baked dirty cookies for the bachelorette gift bags, and they expanded in the oven, due to too much yeast.  I've never come across a cookie recipe that requires yeast; certainly not a basic sugar cookie like those were likely to be.

    Luke told her on the phone message.

    Why ask again?

    He said they'd broken an arm and a leg each.  He didn't say how they did it.  You wouldn't be interested in how someone and their spouse had each broken an arm and a leg?  I would be.  

  10. The writers don't really understand how the DAR works.  When you apply you have to send verification of a relationship to Revolutionary War Patriot; that's two pieces of documentation per ancestor, starting with yourself and working back to the Patriot.  It's all notarized and sent to Washington, DC, where someone at the main office authenticates it.  If they verify it and you pay your dues, you're in.  There's no interview panel like in the new episodes.

  11. When Lorelai and Luke first got together, Luke immediately had to leave to help Liz and TJ because they had broken an arm and a leg each.   He left Lorelai a message about it.  Upon returning his call, Lorelai didn't bother to enquire about what happened to Liz and TJ.  I know Lorelai is self-absorbed, but damn, your newly-minted boyfriend's sister and BIL are injured and you don't bother to ask what happened?

     

    In the episode when Luke and Lorelai get back together, Kirk expresses to Luke that he wants to have a relationship with Lulu with "sleepovers," but he can't because his mother is allergic to Lulu.  Why can't he sleep over with Lulu?  She's an adult with a job, she probably also has a place to live.

    The pricing always bothered me, too.  I am going to use Hockaday School in Dallas because it is the elite private I am most familiar with. It costs $32,000 per year for day students before books.  I would think Chilton would be on the same level, if not higher when you consider the higher cost of living in Connecticut versus Texas. I just struggle with the idea that Lorelai would be able to pay back 3 years of tuition (plus interest, right? I thought she mentioned interest) and still had money left to buy and Inn.

    I always assumed Chilton was $50K a year.  In season one when Lorelai called to ask if she had to pay it up front, she said "there are a lot of zeros behind that five."  So the money from Richard should have only been able to pay for about half of what she owed her parents, if she used all of it. 

    Here's something that bugs me every time I see it: in the episode (season 5?) where Lorelai gets into a "fight" with snow, at the end of the day she is in the kitchen putting out pans to collect water that is presumably coming from her roof, which is leaking because of the evil snow.  Since Lorelai's bedroom is on the upper floor directly under the roof, it seems as though it would be prudent to collect the water up there, rather than allowing it to drip through the floor into the kitchen.
