  1. Zach's complaining about how "this isn't rock and roll" or "that isn't rock and roll" made their music snobbery much worse. But it was pretty bad, from Jess to Lane to the Gilmore Girls. Unless the person is listening to hate rock or something, why judge people by their musical preferences? I love The Shins. Probably not their best song or performance. But those songs wouldn't work well in a spring break club atmosphere. Regardless of if Rory told Jess to drive more or whatever, accidents happen. Lorelai's reasoning that Dean wouldn't have let the accident happen because he loves Rory was absurd. My mom has been in an accident with me in the car, it doesn't mean she doesn't love me. It's because it was an accident. Unless Jess was driving drunk or threatening Rory to dump Dean for him or he'd crash the car, Jess really isn't to blame. The way everyone hyped it up was just extremely over the top. A 17 year old gets into a minor car accident because he chose to swerve and miss a cat or dog or whatever? It's pretty normal. My 20 some year old friends don't listen to the rules of the road and also swerve and brake suddenly to miss things like birds and squirrels. Not because they're rebellious hellions, but because they don't have it in them to kill another creature (though it's pretty bad for all the other cars on the road and infinitely more dangerous).
  2. It was actually really odd to me, the guests at the B&B were no "weirder" or over the top than the guests whohad stayed at the Dragonfly/Independence Inns or the actual townies at Stars Hollow. It seemed like an extreme reaction by someone who manages and runs (and later owns) an inn. And I'd think the ability to have casual conversations with strangers of all types would be something good for someone who wants to be a foreign correspondent/journalist. It'd be like a surgeon seeing someone cut themselves accidentally and going "ew, blood" and running away.
  3. Good point. After Lorelai's freakout with Rory applying to one of their alma maters, I can't even imagine what she would do if Rory applied to both.
  4. I think because those are the big schools Rory applied to, those are the only ones they mentioned her acceptance in. Rory only confirmed Yale and Princeton and Thanksgiving because her mom had an epic meltdown after hearing Yale. But most likely, Vassar and Wesleyan like the man at Thanksgiving had listed. During her pep talk with Paris, she had listed Columbia, Stanford, Sarah Lawrence as alternatives to Harvard; so it would make sense if those were also backups (of course Columbia is also an Ivy - with an amazing journalism program as well). I'd assume some of the sister schools, some Ivy's, and then top private and public schools focusing mostly in the North East. Though her backups are "dream schools" for a lot of people.
  5. Which we know is not true because the one time they were there at around 6:15 (after the first Rory/Dean breakup), we got this: Plus, sometimes Jess, Dean, or Lane had to go to school right after one of these breakfasts or they'd be late, and Stars Hollow High probably didn't start at 7:15AM. Absolutely no sense.
  6. Lorelai has gotten free coffee at the inn. But it seems like Lorelai wants to eat breakfast with Rory, and it's a bit unethical to bring Rory over for a free breakfast every morning. And Sookie clearly has no issues making breakfast for inn employees (she made those pancakes for Michael(?) but put too many blueberries or chocolate chips and was willing to make an omelette for him). It's just a "don't abuse the system" type thing in terms of hot meals.
  7. That seems that'd work for only one person, for two people it'd be more. No way that Luke would charge $2.50 each for entrees. So ~$100 would be more accurate. So it'd be ~$800/month with the rest of what you factored in. And I think you were definitely holding back on costs. So really, I think the two of them were basically eating what my rent used to be.
  8. They spoke about that at the reunion IIRC, but during the run of the show one of them needed that out there more than the other. Of course looking back, JP wasn't that great early on.
  9. Probably to show us why Rory is writing for the Stars Hollow Gazette and not the New York Times.
  10. Pai married her Dave, which is a big divergence. I wonder what Lane's storyline would have been if Brody didn't join the OC.
  11. Yeah, I've seen that for classes, seminars, or colloquiums specific to their work experience. But Richard was teaching what seems to be intro to economics, not quite something I'd bring someone like him in to teach.
  12. As long as you haven't started learning the pledge in all the languages that exist on Earth.
  13. The students in the picture were in Chilton uniforms, safe bet it's Chilton not Stars Hollow high.
  14. What got me is the episode when Lorelai gets a danish on danish day but Rory gets the coffee so Lorelai tries to bribe a kid to go to Luke's and get her coffee. She has a coffee maker at home and she has been seen to drink the inns coffee. Zero sense. Didn't ASP choose insurance for Richard because she read somewhere that Hartford (or Connecticut ) had a large insurance industry? That was the only reason for that choice.I don't quite know how that qualifies him to be a professor at Yale, but whatever.

    Season 2

    I don't get the timing of Lorelai rushing to get Luke to bid on her basket and the actual bidding on her basket. It's as if they put a halt in the bidding while she was away.
  16. X-files had 6 episodes in their revival and it was enough for me to never want to see new Xfiles ever again. Fingers crossed.
  17. Patty acts like she's going to sex up anyone with a Y-chromosome in the middle of the street. Even underage Dean. Ugh.
  18. Emily did seem perfectly fine with the Townies, especially when drunk. Heck she didn't hate early season Luke, just the prospect of her daughter dating him. Later season Emily just treated him like trash.

    Season 2

    Dean did try to shake Richard's hand, but he had made up his mind already.

    Season 1

    I don't know about Lorelai (well, I do based on what I saw), but if some guy starts berating me about me not telling other people about our relationship right after I just found out my "best friend daughter" just ran away to my "nemesis parents", that's the end of the relationship.
  21. I know he plays Malcolm's angry teacher in Malcom in the Middle.
  22. From the outside the house clearly has a foundation full basement (or at least half full), but there's no door on the ground floor to go to it. It's a magical mystery house. Bigger on the outside than the inside. The thing is, they could have done anything to the 2nd floor to make it work. Homes around here, especially old ones, are weird on the inside.
