Well, shit. I actually didn't hate that. Except for Che. And that Jackie guy - why is she friends with that dude? Anyhow. Loved Charlotte's speech to Harry. Yeah, you don't get to just say you'll help but cry after a few months of it. This is YOUR family as well as hers. You're not "helping" - you're being a productive member of said family. Loved Miranda and Steve's talk. Loved Miranda on the BBC. Loved all things Miranda except for her talk with Che. Because I loathe all things Che. Loved LTW and Herbert. She's such a class act in all ways, and though he has moments of husband ideas, I really like how sweet he is with her and can pull out the supportiveness. Loved Seema leaning into whatever with Ravi. I truly hope these idiot writers don't mess this all up for her. Loved the kitty but CARRIE STOP LEAVING YOUR FREAKING DOOR OPEN. CATS WANDER. Nya & Toussaint. Get it, girl. He'd be a lovely addition next season. Thank God Carrie and Aidan are kaputs. Never liked him for her, simply too different.

Yeah, his name was Jackie. He was the star of two of the most deliciously uncomfortable Mary/Miranda scenes. First, that Mary should not have worn white to her wedding because she was already knocked up with Jackie. Second, that she didn't have a problem with Jackie's black wife. Everyone just THOUGHT that was why they didn't get along. Mary was amazing. Regardless, I agree with everything you posted. Except one thing the LTW abortion non-talk. I never wanted children with my ex husband. Motherhood was never going to be my thing if I had my choice. But if I had gotten pregnant, I would have had the baby. Not because I would have changed my mind or because I feel abortion is wrong (staunchly pro-choice), but because that being would have been created accidentally through an act of love between us. I could never in good conscience get rid of a fetus like that. Just my two sense on that subject.

Aidan 100% owned his place. In the episode Just Say Yes where Carrie gets notified that the building is going co-op Aidan tells her to buy it. She says that she's in no position to buy. He says that he is - that he can sell his place and buy hers and the one next door for them to live in together. She calls him moneybags and asks if he has a girlfriend. For the record, I hate myself for knowing this.

Please. Someone let me know when they hit the Mattison family (I think that is their name.) I need to vent about this woman. Shes a complete loon and will get rid of nothing.

And a rich doctor to boot. Someone's gonna have to pay for Midge's fabulous hats.

Truthfully I have problems with both. I understand wanting as much as possible out of life and careers .. just dont have children until you're done figuring shit out. I dont think we'll ever see eye to eye on this so let's go back to discussing how fun the show is and how much we love it :)

Actually, I would absolutely think less of a man who did such a thing. I had an immediate dislike of Joel for S1E1 for the blase way he left, not only his wife, but his children. I find it to be a super-shitty thing for any person to do. I have never believed that "finding oneself" should be accomplished by mistreating the small people we have decided to have and agreed to raise. And expecting other people (i.e. our parents) to take care of our responsibilies is also a terribly selfish idea.

I know I'm terrible for saying this but I'm really disappointed with Midge for agreeing to go on a six month European tour. Yes, it's a running joke that she doesn't parent her kids but where the hell will they go while she's gone?? And at the end she seemed to be fully aware that she was cutting herself off from her family and she was ok with that? I know it's a tv show and I'm overthinking things but man! Its harsh of her. And also you don't throw over Zachary Levi to get in one last schtup with Joel. Stupid girl.

You know, the only thing that feels utterly off this season is how much time the Weissmans and the Maisels are spending together, especially given the fact that their children are separated and dating others. ESPECIALLY especially considering that they really dislike each other.

In all fairness, before he realized she was doing stand up and decided to leave her for good out of sour grapes over her talent, they were on the road to reconciliation. Just typing that sentence reminds me again how crappy Joel is as a partner.

I did adore both Rose's and Abe's reaction to said penis though. Rose's gasping "Too close! Still too close!" and Abe's collapse and student yelling "Give him air! HE JUST SAW A NAKED MAN!" were comedy gold!

As someone who lived in both Philadelphia AND Harrisburg, I squeeeeeeeed embarrassingly when I heard the itinerary. I also yelled at the TV when Susie mentioned Harrisburg's Civil War Museum since it didn't open till the early 2000s.

I put a lot of the stuff with Joel's parents down to ASP being .. ASP. It happened in The Gilmore Girls. During the first season, things were pleasantly eccentric but with each season after, things got more and more ridiculously over the top. By the end of the seventh season it was like Stars Hollow was inhabited entirely by mental patients. I had hoped that age would have curtailed this quirk in Amy but alas. As soon as they started talking about Joel's mother having an accounting system based in ancient aramaic and the absence of the number 6 I knew we were in for it. I loved the season overall but I did find myself disappointed in Midge's choice at the end. Walking away from your kids for 6 months without a second thought? Throwing over a decent man who loved and accepted her without being jealous of her talent to go to JOEL? Not smart.

I took a summer hiatus from DCC and the boards. I know the scuttlebutt about Holly and had read about Erica possibly being injured, but what is the Holly/Jenna/Erica thing????

Quick thoughts: Love the new changes to the show but I miss seeing my old favorites in the intro ? I know Holly is a polarizing DCC, but love her or hate her, DAMN that girl handled that SNAFU amazingly well. To have the presence of mind to be able to recover so gracefully till she got off the floor .. wow. I have no issue with the three vets cut and I think Tasha should have been axed as well. A mediocre performer at best. Of the new girls I am pulling for Patriots Alexandra and Lauren. Savannah too because she's a cutie. The rest, whatever. I'm not attached yet. I have no clue why Brianna made it. Bad kicks, bad on field dance and not that great looking to compensate for the other two short comings. Also rolling my eyes at Christina - same old whining. I would have much rather seen elegant Katelynn given a spot.
