The 'children saving the day' reminds me a lot of the movie Toy Soldiers (starring our favorite Sean Astin!) although looking it up on wikipedia it looks like it was released in 1991 so not quite 80's. I think there was a discussion somewhere within this thread about what ages the older teens are supposed to be, since Steve graduated already but it sounds like the others haven't even though Robin at least shared some classes with him. I had several classes during high school with kids not in my actual grade, and so do my kids now as well. Only the "core classes" tend to be with just your own grade, in my experience.

Thanks @deaja! 3 - Totally agree that Glenn is just a strange, unfunny character. I'm glad we didn't have to put up with him more than what we did. 8 - Aww, I love the tutoring Jess stuff. 4 - Tie-breaking to vote this one out. While I love the Gypsy wanting to go home bit (especially that she breaks off the windshield wipers and then admits to it....bahahahahaha.....) Dean was so smart-aleck and impudent there I want to kill him more than usual. Still voting against three! Favorite Random Moments 1. Lorelai goes back out to the Jeep when she realizes Rory isn't at FND yet, and does a weird little dance to the song on the radio. Emily knocks on the window and scares her half to death. "So I put my purse on the seat and I put the keys in the car, and naturally the radio came on 'cause that's what it does, and, uh, Shadow Dancing was playing, which was one of my all time favorite songs in junior high." "And you forgot to look for your lip gloss." "Just for a second." "Which makes sense since it's in the ashtray right next to you." (The Fundamental Things Apply) 2. Luke admits to Lorelai that he and Nicole got married on the cruise ship (and are getting divorced) and they talk about it while packing Rory's things in the truck. Kirk walks by with a parachute, presumably after skydiving to promote the opening of Taylor's Soda Shoppe. "Strong wind." (Ballrooms & Biscotti) 5. Michel jogs around town square numerous times, waiting for Lane and Mrs. Kim to come by so he can do a covert CD drop. (And I agree - seriously? Michel would never. Heh.) "I’ve been running around this stupid square for over an hour." "Why?" "Why? Because the plan was to drop the CD at nine o’clock." "No, it got changed to ten. I told my mom and she said she’d pass it on. She didn’t pass it on, did she?" (It Should've Been Lorelai) 6. Luke is renovating his apartment, which is causing all kinds of construction havoc in the diner. Jess comes over and opens up an umbrella for Rory to sit under while she and Lorelai eat. (There's the Rub) 7. The girls run into Emily at the mall (!!) and take her to eat at the food court. "I got a little something from everywhere." "I wouldn't know where to begin." "Well, start at the top and stop when you hit table." (Scene in a Mall) 9. Lorelai chats with some of her business degree schoolmates about how horrible snotty rich people are, after they see Emily and the cameraman setting up to film the graduation. A woman brings in a box of corsages for Lorelai to pick one. "This one, thanks." "Good choice. The cameraman said that would look best on film." (Lorelai's Graduation Day) 10. Paris is waiting outside the cafeteria to grill Rory about sitting with the Puffs. "G-d! You're like a popup book from hell." (Like Mother, Like Daughter) 11. Lorelai and the others redecorate for some rich guy's retirement party, who keeps changing his mind. Lorelai goes to tell Sookie about the change just as she's finishing a very elaborate golf-ball cake, which she flips over into the trash can without a word. (Dear Emily & Richard) 12. Rory, Paris, Janet, and Tanna try to figure out who could have written Die, Jerk on their door. Paris has her list narrowed down from twenty-six to five. "And my five are already taken care of." "They're taken care of?" "I got my East Side 860 partners on it." (Die, Jerk) 13. Dave stops by the dance marathon to see Lane. He improvises a story when Mrs. Kim shows up. "So if for some reason I'm not back here in twenty minutes, that means that I'm gonna be over there, on the church steps, waiting for my parents to get out so that I can tell them about the great sandwiches that they missed. Okay? Okay, great. Thanks a lot and I hope to see you soon." "I hope he comes back. He seemed hungry." (They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?) 14. Robert finds Rory reading a book and asks her to the Tarantino-themed party. "Business or pleasure? ....Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Lord and peasant and the making of the modern world. Oh. Pleasure." "Have you read it?" "I’m waiting for the film to come out." "Yeah, I heard Renee Zellweger is gaining a ton of weight to play the peasant." "Listen, I was wondering if you’re doing anything tomorrow night." "Oh. Um, I don’t know. Why?" "Well, it’s Finn’s birthday. He’s having a party. Lots of booze, no food whatsoever." (Pulp Friction) 15. Lorelai and Emily model matching outfits for the Chilton fashion show fundraiser and dance/strut down the runway to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. (Like Mother, Like Daughter) 16. Kirk, Paris, and Rory spend the night at Lorelai's house after "partying" too hard at the opening of the Twickham House museum. "Kirk?" "Yeah?" "Turn off the TV, come have your breakfast." "In a minute." "Now!" "How old is he?" (To Live and Let Diorama) 17. Rory tries to come see Lane, but Mrs. Kim has found out there's termites at the Crap Shack. She chases Rory away with a water hose. (Secrets & Loans) 18. Logan comes to see if Rory is mad at him after the classroom prank he, Colin, and Finn played on her while she was showing Anna around Yale. "That's not a good look." "I have no words." "It was just a joke." "Oh no, wait. I found some. Jerk, ass, arrogant, inconsiderate, mindless, frat boy, lowlife, buttfaced miscreant." (But Not as Cute as Pushkin) 19. Jess leaves the diner - quickly - when he realizes Liz's friends arranged for a stripper to come by. "Got a package here." "From who? I'm not expecting anything." "It's a very important package." "But there's no address on it." Jess waves at Luke through the window as he's leaving. (Last Week Fights, This Week Tights) 20. Luke and Nicole come by the diner for coffee after their first date. Jess offers to go out for about an hour. "Go where?" "Out." "Out where?" "Out....for about an hour." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about going out for about an hour. What, you need more time?" Luke drags him outside and smacks him upside the head. (Dear Emily & Richard) 21. Mrs. Kim has had enough of Lane's wallowing over breaking up with Zach. She locks the door, covers the windows, and pulls out a hidden bottle of sake. "Lane, it's been six weeks since you come home. You have grieved, and now we move on. Ahh. One more." (The Perfect Dress) 22. Luke catches up with Lorelai as they're both on their way to Mailboxes, Etc. Lorelai needs stamps, Luke needs a divorce. She offers to wait, to give him some privacy. "I'm not taking a shower, I'm signing a paper." "I can come back later." "Will you please get in there and buy your stamps?" "Okay, fine." "Lots and lots of work." 23. Luke is upset because there's a young mom breastfeeding in the diner. He tries to get Lorelai to go tell her to stop. Jess comes down the stairs and bolts away with an 'aw, geez!' when he sees what's going on. "Okay, well, that was kind of fun." (Eight O'Clock at the Oasis) 24. Emily buys a panic room because she's afraid Richard wouldn't even come to see what was going on if she was being robbed or attacked. She calls to tell Lorelai the code. "Are you ready?" "Pen is poised." "1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1." (We Got Us a Pippi Virgin) 25. Richard tells the girls that he and Jason have acquired another insurance company. "It's not a big company. It's smaller than ours, but very powerful." "Wait, the company is smaller than yours? Your company is two guys -- you and Jason." "This company is a one-man operation -- Bob Sutton." "So, you're acquiring Bob?" "We're acquiring his company, and his company is him." "Did he have to give himself two weeks' notice?" "No." "Is there gonna be a sad little going-away party where he brings in his own cake and blows out his candles?" (Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom) 26. Sookie and Jackson tell Lorelai about the home birth they're planning. Sookie rolls her eyes mockingly when Jackson refers to the baby as Davey or Colgate. (Festival of Living Art) 27. Sookie and Lorelai go over to let Emily have a taste-testing before they cater the launch party. Lorelai points to herself when Emily mentions that the food is excellent but the presentation still needs a little work. (An Affair to Remember) 28. Lorelai finds out Jackson is hiding in Sookie's shoe closet because he's wearing pajamas with pictures of him in his wrestling uniform from high school. "Jackson, you have to come out here right now!" "No." "Why?" "Because you sound too eager." (Secrets & Loans) 29. Luke is having trouble figuring out how to bury his 160 lb uncle and his 140 lbs of stuff. "No, no, Taylor and the guys were right. I was cutting Louie slack out of respect for my dad, but the man was rotten and mean and selfish all his life. For God’s sake, he’s even selfish in death. Other people would’ve loved to have had those baseball cards. I would’ve loved to have those baseball cards. He’s got Lou Gehrig’s rookie card, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, tons of others – but no! My uncle, King Tut, has to take all of them to the afterlife with him!" "Sir, your voice." "I’m done, I’ve had it. From now on, it’s just the bare minimum and that’s it. Dig a big hole and just dump the casket in unlatched. If stuff falls out, fine. Just pile on enough dirt and make sure nothing’s showing!" (Dead Uncles & Vegetables) 30. The townies practice for the annual Christmas play. The 'before' Mary is about to become an 'after'. Baby Jesus is missing his arm, again. "Maybe it’s just time to get a new baby Jesus, you know, one that’s a boy." "It’s a doll, no one can tell." "Well, it has a bow." (Forgiveness & Stuff)

That had me dang near crying. I love Steve/Dustin so much.

Anyone else want to vote? There's only one of these that's gotten more than one vote so far.

Well, to be fair, Richard did pull her aside and spoke to her quietly. I don't think Michel could actually hear what he was saying, he just judged the content of the conversation by their expressions and her reaction. I consider Lorelai way more out of line by the way she was - loudly - talking to the supplier than I do Richard for scolding her about it.

Well after the rest of S3 being all over the place and making me zone straight out in some places, I didn't expect the finale to kick me in the feels quite this hard, but here we are. I was flat out ugly crying pretty much the entire time after Hop "died". Even Billy's sacrificial death made me cry, although I totally agree that they really retconned his character from last season to now to try to make us feel sorry for him at the end. (Not saying it worked, but the scene itself was well done and hit some nice points emotionally.) Dustin and Suzie singing together was cute but went on way way WAY too long. The Mind Flayer ponderously trying to keep up with the car made me LOL though. I'm 100% on board with Hopper being 'the American' in the Russian prison. I'll have to rewatch with the whole story in mind to make more sense of it all, but I like the theory that he deliberately jumped into the Upside Down to keep from being disintegrated by the explosion. It was extremely obvious that he wasn't standing on the platform anymore when the other guys were dusted (heh) so that makes the most sense IMO. And hey, it's a crazy thought but maybe stepping on the piece of the Mind Flayer that El expelled from her leg allowed a bit of her powers to pass onto him somehow? Since distances don't really seem to matter in the Upside Down, he could have been watching for an open doorway (three inches, El, three inches!) and managed to slip out when the Russians were messing with the new demogorgon we saw at the end, only to be captured by them in our world. Oh, and the Mind Flayer reabsorbed the part that had been in El's leg into itself while it was stalking the kids. I don't know if that will come up later or not but I did notice it. All in all, I'm really glad the finale was as good as it was. I was getting really upset with this season as a whole not being nearly as good as the first two seasons. Just IMO of course.

I wasn't allowed to wear hairspray until about 8th grade. My mom was convinced it would make my hair fall out. I swear the day she finally caved in was one of the happiest days of my life. Not gonna lie, I frigging loved my 80s hair. It was actually a good look for me, framed my face well. I'm still sad that by the time I grew my hair out long enough to feel like I could do a spiral perm (my hair takes curl VERY well and I always ended up with poodle hair when I got perms because it wasn't long enough to pull the curls down) they were no longer in style so I never got one. I remember one friend in about 10th grade willingly took an in-school suspension because it had rained on her waiting for the bus and her hair fell. Another ran out of hairspray and used perfume to get her bangs to cooperate. You could smell her a mile away. #Imissthe80s #bestdecadeever

Okay my idea for the next game may end up just one big hot mess, heh, but I'd like to do Favorite Random Moments. These are moments that don't really have anything to do with anything, but are memorable just because they are funny, or sweet, or touching, or nostalgic, or whatever. I'll post the first one, which always makes me die laughing and I always have to watch it three or four times before I can move on. Favorite Random Moments 1. Lorelai goes back out to the Jeep when she realizes Rory isn't at FND yet, and does a weird little dance to the song on the radio. Emily knocks on the window and scares her half to death. "So I put my purse on the seat and I put the keys in the car, and naturally the radio came on 'cause that's what it does, and, uh, Shadow Dancing was playing, which was one of my all time favorite songs in junior high." "And you forgot to look for your lip gloss." "Just for a second." "Which makes sense since it's in the ashtray right next to you." (The Fundamental Things Apply)

Yup.

11 it is! *squeals happily* Favorite Hugs Jess thanks Luke for all the help over the past two years. "Well, it's good to hear, but I kind of knew that." "Yeah, but, in a relationship -- any relationship -- it's important to let the other person know you appreciate them so you don't create barriers that delay any hope for reciprocation." "I think I read that somewhere." "Yeah?" "You're hoping for reciprocation? You got it. I'm here, Jess. I'm always here." "Thanks. The tie work out?" "The tie was perfect." (Last Week Fights, This Week Tights)

Interesting perspective!

Heh. "That's where you went, Dad." "You liked it, remember?"

Ha! Also, yeah.
