Seems like there is no media thread for this series but it was just renewed for season 2. I'm not surprised but I do hope they refine the writing next season to make it funnier. The seeds are there but they need to grow it.

The romantic interest lady is pretty interesting and seems like a unique character.

The showrunners are really adamant about not wanting to do a school shooting episode so probably yes.

Okay, the visual of Victoria being sprayed by that car wash was hilarious🤣

The first 2 seasons are not so strong. It is to better to start at season 3 and then check back for the first 2 later if you are craving for more.

WTF was this episode? All that marketing and hype for this nothing burger of an episode? The Dee / Janine parts were somewhat entertaining, but other than that this episode forgot to be funny. They did not utilize the sunny gang well at all, they barely did anything crazy, and they did not even yell at each other! For someone who watches both shows this was super weak and a huge disappointment.

These episodes legit had me balling like a baby. The scene where we FINALLY get a smidgen of backstory on Sassapis Death and Thor learned Lenape to speak to him- MAN, that was beautiful. BUT, the biggest for Me was when “Pete” as Jay went to hug his Daughter Laura and when Jay’s body pulled away and Pete stayed- Immediately I am crying and then cry/laughing because you know…Zombie Jay. My Mom died in 2016, she LOVED Christmas. I would give ANYTHING to hug her one more time. Anything. So this scene was So Beautiful, Beautifully performed by All the Actors. I had to watched the episode immediately again just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Seriously, this Show. I love it. So many moments of TRUE Vulnerability and Love and mostly Laughter. I am thinking of Hetty’s death reveal, the episode with Sam’s Dad, when Pete’s Daughter first brought Little Pete to Woodstone, when Alberta Sang with her Descendant. It’s Beautiful.

For a Pilot it was good enough, and I was so delighted to see Harper from iCarly as one of the cast. She lights up the screen. I am not happy Danny Pudi is so heavily featured, he is so annoying and unpleasant to look at for me. If anything stops me from continuing to watch it will be him.

That was really funny and a strong start for the season. It does feel like Frank sees problems even when there aren't any because of his own insecurities, rather than his date being crazy. Or I don't know if they meant to telegraph that with the final scene, that she was somehow obsessed with him. But if that were the case she would not have been so chill about him ghosting her. Jealous Emily is funny.

Was this made because of Ted Lasso's success?

IDK, that is not what the cast says. The actors for Lorelai, Rory, Emily and Luke were all open to the idea of a reboot in this article. They just said the timing and story has to be right which is absolutely possible.

That is really sad. There are so many stories left to tell.

I think we all agree that Lorelai screwed up by being her daughter's friend instead of her daughter's parent. But then again, that's the inevitable consequence of raising a child alone, at 16, without any adults around you. She's a badass, no question about it. But she saw Rory as a friend who happens to be her daughter, rather than someone she needed to guide. All parents, no matter how good they are, see their kids as an extension of themselves to a certain extent. But Lorelai fights with her daughter like one would fight with their best friend. And that's very harmful when kids are at their formative years. Rory was acting like a normal 20 yo at that point, but Lorelai couldn't wrap her head around it because she sees Rory as her friend who's supposed to act like her 36yo self. We all talk about how spoiled Rory is, but Lorelai was as well up until she was 16 years of age and got pregnant. She may not have liked the rich life, but whether we care to admit it or not, she had everything given to her so she didn't know struggle until she had a kid to feed. So she AND Rory were learning that together, which leads both of them to think that they are the same in everything. But while Rory gets to be immature at 20, Lorelai needed to be an adult. Meaning you can't cut your kid out of your life for being lost, meaning you can't talk to your kid like she did in this clip like she's your bestie and she hurt you because she went to live with her grandparents. Rory faces a lot of criticism, but the truth is, throughout the series she's looking for guidance from an ADULT, because Lorelai wasn't mature enough and Christopher's a douchebag who was barely even there. And please don't take this to mean I'm shitting on Lorelai, she did the best she could. However, she's not without her faults. Being a parent means you take care of your kid beyond just providing shelter, food, and clothes. Means you understand she's not gonna be perfect and mature all the time. And when she isn't, YOU have to be. But this is something she does not do and blames Emily when she does.

Emily and Richard had their flaws, but they were a product of their time. It doesn't make their deplorable treatment of people of a lower class than them acceptable, and the show does often show instances of them being humbled, Emily especially when she has to interact with her mother-in-law. They were loving parents and grandparents, just misguided and a bit rough around the edges, but clearly always had the best intentions. Emily thankfully was able to get fleshed out later on. If there is another season, I hope it gets to show how a further evolution in Emily.

I love this movie so much! It is endlessly rewatchable and I love the slice of life calm quality it has. The writing / dialouge is really good.

Fun story: My friend's 18 year old, flamboyantly gay relative saw this show, thinks it is realistic and he is basing major life decisions on how things turned out in this series🥲. Life will have to teach him a few lessons.

Update: season 4 shooting is now underway with Alan Tudyk directing.

WTF? That was quick. I am shocked but happy.

This stood out to me so much, like hello!? You forgot to explain it! But I suppose it was entirely on purpose to save some of the mystery for season 2.

It's a shame this show is so bad because I LOVE greek mythology.

I was so shocked when I finally realized 🤣 About the series itself, I watched the whole thing yesterday. It was so good it was hard to stop once I started so I'd recommend it. It's funny but also compelling and the dialouge is very good.

Well IDK what to say, but suddenly Ruby's mom dying gains a whole other meaning. It seemed like everything got a logical ending, and then they switch it all up in the last minute. I guess they are very confident about a renewal with an ending like that.
