I know, because when they show Claire trying to get along with them or take charge, as I have said, they act that if they ignore her, she will go away. Yet, we have seen Claire be very competent and do her job when it suits the writers and not the plot. I already see the company in panic with Jay retiring and along the lines of: "Jay don't go!" "Claire ordered, mint chip ice cream cake!" "MINT CHIP!" "What was she thinking?" Jay: "Why was that so bad?" Employee: "It was mint chip!"

Yeah, I enjoyed the episode, and you can always win with Andrea Martin. The problem with Andy/Haley/Beth is that they completely wrote themselves into a corner with the storyline. I did read originally they wanted to introduce Beth early on but someone happened with the original actress and why they came up with the story of: "For 10 years they have been on again/off again." Then when they did recast her they got into this entire mess with Beth being jealous because someone else was interested in Andy when she loved the drama of playing him, breaking up and then getting back together. But deciding that Beth would also be a cheater but having it so Andy goes: "But we've been dating for 10 years." Yeah, and you ended up cheating on her multiple times and why I loved that Phil was the one to tell him either be a man and do the right thing, or end this and move on. Sad to say, I was engaged to a Beth myself who had an off again/on again with her high school boyfriend for 8 years before we ended up getting together for 2 years and were going to get married and then found out she had cheated on me 10 months before the wedding. I ended it but she left me in debt and emotionally messed up until I met Mrs. Readster. My ex ended up marrying her old boyfriend and had two girls but apparently they are going through trust issues now. So, when Beth said she had been with this other guy during her "off" time with Andy over the last 10 years. I was like: "Well, she is in for a big reality check." However, I'm not going to go: "Poor Andy" on this one. He knew how Beth was and to think during these times she was off and you can spin the entire Beth: "No one gets in the way of what is mine." Considering she broke up with him through texts and emails over the years that Andy has confirmed. You think he would have gotten the hint? Well, I will wish the writers good luck on this couple. As for Jay's bait and switch with Claire, why have the writers even bothered showing how Claire can't do her job, the rest of the staff from low end to high end hate her and pretend if they ignore her, Claire will go away. If they would woven it in to Jay wanting to have Claire as the main VP and get the employees to respect her and then she could take over. Then I would have been all for it, but how many times has Jay gone with the entire: "If I tell the kids this, they will thank me later." It's backfired since the show started, the writers do love the characters never learning anything. Like with Haley constantly telling Alex she can't get a guy or dresses bad. This was an Alex subplot that worked well on all levels and not the: "I'm not the smartest kid at school and I need a desperate HS boyfriend now. Woe is me." The rest was great but really, Luke. Do you even know how to use the bathroom by yourself anymore?

I love they say that they haven't nailed it down. Funny how many shows do that and then they go: "I don't get why the audience didn't like it." Seriously, how these people get put in charge of TV shows is beyond me. They must have picture on someone or something because there are showrunners who have been doing this crap for years and somehow still keep their jobs Yeah, I can see them using it as Castle learned about Lokstat and decided to erase it from his memory because he knew Kate would be obsessed with it. These show runners really do want to burn the place to the ground before the show is over, huh.

I'm agreeing on all your points, except the last one. I really think her Sanji did it and another reason why Alex is so upset. The classic: "I gave him everything, including my virginity and this is what I get!" Happened with some girls I knew in high school and even ones who were still dating their boyfriends during freshman year in college and went into the same funk after their boyfriends decided to go after different women or got caught in college themselves. I have no problem believing that but to put Alex with this high school loser nerd, that's just too much and makes Alex really look pathetic. She has so much else for her and the writers don't want to do it because they don't care and find it boring to write. However, I haven't liked what they have done with any of the kids this season outside of Joe and Lily because they write Joe and Lily like kids. However, its the same old stuff and now they've made Haley a cheater, Alex a desperate freshman, Luke is too stupid to even breathe and Manny is still being Manny. The only difference is that they have made it so Manny is dating and so forth but really, can't he just get a regular girlfriend for a bit without Gloria going crazy or once again: "Do you think my sandals are too much with this outfit?" Grow up Manny!

I completely agree, they could have had Alex in her environment or seeing that college wasn't as free as Haley found out a few years ago (still think it was stupid how she got kicked out). However, its written so Alex can't grow up and now having a 16 year old cope a feel or squeeze of her is not moving her forward. So, she got some action, doesn't paint the character as moving up in college or dating. Just makes her look desperate. I believe that the writers have no idea how to use Alex, Luke or Lily right now. Lily has been out of few episodes, with barely a mention. Alex is spinning: "college is hard." Luke comes across as so stupid now I'm surprise the air isn't trying to kill him. Manny is the same old, same old, no real change there. Same goes with Mitchell, the unemployment story line was suppose to be longer but the writers interviewed said that they painted themselves in a corner with it. Saying the plan was to just have him run his own firm or run the legal actions of Jay's business but didn't want Jay's kids all under the same roof. Thinking it was too simple and same goes for the other apartment in their duplex. Those wacky and crazy tenants they were suppose to get lasted two episodes. Do they even outline their stories anymore or are they too busy with trying to make the Andy/Haley crap work they can't look at anything else outside the ducks.

This is the first time in a long time, where Ryan wasn't depicted as too much of the moron or Boyd showing his ADHD. I actually enjoyed it, even Mike's conversation about Ryan being passion about coaching and yelling because he wanted too. There is a big difference, however him being a vegan who knits, and Kristin calling: "sweet" I want to go: "huh?" Can I believe that Ryan had some wake up call after his back packing through South America. Sure, but it comes down that the Ryan who left his pregnant girlfriend to fend for herself and the Ryan we have now are completely different people. I can't believe now that Ryan would have been the run out because now he is so obsessed about not being his father (who is now dead) it makes Ryan come across as if he was replaced by a good version of the deserter. Of course, I'm also wondering if the writers have decided to use Masterson's time off for his film to start reworking the character more since everyone hates the character and Boyd. I also loved the use of Vanessa here too, see, there is a person I can believe has a PhD in Geology and knows science. Not the socially inept, I have to show I like black people we have had the last couple years. And on that note, Chuck, what happened to you and hey writers: "STOP WITH THE BLACK JOKES!" they aren't funny they make Chuck, Vanessa and Tim look like they fell out of the early 70s. Its almost 2016. Get over the Archie Bunker theme you want so much, Tim Allen. There is no audience for it these days.

Ashoka owned the Inquisitors. Loved her use of her jedi training, she became the jedi that Anakin should have been before he fell. Too bad he couldn't of taken care of the Inquisitors but you know, Stormtroopers. They can't hit anything but too many and you have a problem.

Exactly and if they want it to be: "Well, see Beth is a controlling bitch, so root for Andy and Haley." its not going to work. This points them both horribly, Andy doesn't have the balls to either break off the engagement or had to play along with Beth's little break up and get back together drama she played for years with him until someone else was interested in Andy and she knew it was both ways. Then it was: "He's mine and no one can have him." It also makes Haley look like both an idiot and one thing she has never been shown as is in a relationship with one person cheating on the other. Go into her on and off again things with Dylan which she got tired of or what ever hook ups she did, she was never with someone having an affair or anything. Plus, this stuff with Alex has to stop, its horrible. Its not funny, she is now in with an obsessed guy who is: "I have a hot nerd girl. I can't live without her!" The best was the adults minus the therapist, because it hit on everything we have said about the characters' marriages for a while now. I really felt for Jay in the end and how Cam really does realize, he is a drama queen, but if he wasn't there for Michell the guy would fall apart. Phil wants to not be the old guy, he wants to keep having fun. Nothing wrong with that and Claire realizes she isn't as awesome as she believes she is. Now, if that would translate to her job and realize that either they need to respect her, or they can get out.

That's exactly it. Bow make good arguments before Dre's friend got his pay off. She was extremely right with the kids, they just figure: "It worked for him, so I'll just do the same thing and I'll be set." However, as she pointed out, they didn't have the talent and were basically just copying all of his bad habits and that's another thing. How many times does Junior have to do extremely stupid things before he realizes maybe he should stop doing that. This isn't My Wife and Kids where that junior got stupider and stupider each season to the point it was surprising he knew how to walk. I'm afraid this Junior is heading down that path too, luckily the writing is staying away from that edge and the actor playing him is pulling it off very well.

Very true and if you remember when Jason asked Lorelai out, his reason was because it would piss off her parents. I was like: "Your business partner's daughter? To make him and his wife mad?" Why? Jason was not one for thinking his actions wouldn't backfire on him. His father went too far in my opinion but when did that stop people in the Gilmore Universe?

I notice that too and so did my mother during our GG viewing days. Rory was like Christopher, when she screwed up, everyone was like: "Its not your fault, its someone's else's." Rory wasn't great with disappointment no matter how minor it was. She took criticism very badly. I'm not talking about Mitchum's smackdown I'm talking from anyone, her teachers or anything. Yet, she always was forgiven and almost handed things. No, not the refusing to leave the newspaper to get a job after her magical recovery from the yacht stealing incident. I'm talking about almost always getting a call, a quick offer and life was great. Christopher knocking not one but two women up no problem. You an get the teen situation but an adult in his mid 30s almost 17 years later, oh come on! It happens but you think he know how to wear a damn condom! Yet it was: "It wasn't your fault, it was that damn Lorelai and 'her' daughter's fault you dropped out of not one but several schools, couldn't hold a job, never visited them, ect." Or the other half ass things he did but Emily and Richard and Lorelai enabled his behavior and it was always suppose to be: "Poor Christopher, don't worry, here is a million dollars!" (Which did happen). Both never learned the consequences of their actions but if you were Lorelai, all hell would break loose.

Another thing was, Mrs. Kim started getting what Lane wanted in life and then after the reveal that she was much like Lane with hiding her religion and beliefs from Grandma Kim. It ended up being that moment where she was: "Like mother, like daughter." Not to say I think Mrs. Kim's attitude towards people when they shopped in her store: "You buy or get out!" attitude always irked me. However, unlike Emily, Mrs. Kim came to realize she couldn't control her daughter's life, much like her own mother tried to control hers. Which of course in a way I could tell made Lane mad because when she saw how much her own mother was like her I think she had a moment. Along the lines of: "Then why did you basically kick me out of the house when you found my stuff?" Emily and even Richard were more wanting Lorelai to be like them and Emily more as stated above about having an extension of her and being her legacy instead of what made her happy. As also said, Emily and Richard and pretty much the "rich world" of the GG Universe had limited views on what was success and what was unacceptable. However, when it was all said and done, Lane and her mother's ending was what should have been Lorelai and Emily's instead of the constant back peddling or seeing everything as their way or the highway.

Yet, the rift between Lorelai and Rory travelled in 30 seconds or the secret of Luke's daughter when everything came out. Let's not forget about Jess showing up in town and people trying to push his POS car to Gypsy's without going: "You ran out on Luke and lied to everyone. Jerk!"

I'm not shocked in any case. The way he was during media spots and everything, I was like: "He's gay."

Probably because Taylor was always requesting that things be moved since he was the Selectman. Who's job is to take care of property and residential locations and make sure they are in city limits or drawn up correctly. However, as we know, he controlled everything even the mayor couldn't. Because he was Taylor.

I completely agree. As a fan of netflix series like Jessica Jones, Daredevil, ect. I love that they can push a little farther without going out there but for GG. It needs to maintain that same tone. Now, if there was a drop of another type of swearing, I could live with that. You can't tell me someone like Luke, Jess or even Lorelei wouldn't drop a word outside the usual TV troupe. I remember several times both Lorelei and Rory said: "Putz" or "Super Jerk" when you know they wanted to say: "Asshole!"

I was very happy with the ending to the season. Everything tied up nicely, showed the connections between Jessica and Daredevil and set up the future Luke Cage and Iron Fist series nicely. Keep in mind for those who have read the old Alias series know it lasted almost four years and a lot happened in that time. I really enjoyed Killgrave's ending and the season ending with Jessica about to get a major upswing in business with her PI company and how far Malcolm came in the season. Of course, I really enjoyed everyone except Simpson from beginning to end. Something that is good about binge watching or seeing a whole season like this. It connects more instead of plots that start so many episodes ago and get lost until they pop out of nowhere. Bring on Season 2, bring on the Luke Cage series and of course, I'm ready for Daredevil season 2.

Its been established since Luke Cage first showed up in comics in the 70s. Just because his skin is unbreakable doesn't mean he can't suffer from internal or regard conditions that will take a normal human out. Like: dehydration, constant blunt force trauma, drowning, ect. Considering the position and the force blast from the police shotgun. I had no problem when Jessica did that to Luke in the end that he went down.

I agree, but at the same time, it really made Chris look like he forgot his past. He dropped out of school, even said in seasons 1 and 3 that he tried to go to community college and barely made it through one year. As I and many people have said, Christopher fell into success way too often because of what family he belonged too or he could "sweet talk" others. Much like Logan, he was good with words, it was just Logan realized you couldn't stay that young or live that way forever after what happened with his parents cutting him off. He didn't want to be like his father and grandfather and he found something he was good at and kept going. However, in the end, Mitchum much like Straub and Jason's father, wanted them to take over the family business from them. It got old because that was always the excuse. Much like how Emily wanted Lorelei to be like her, even though being that way worked for her, Trix was constantly bashing her like she was trash and never once did Emily come to the realization she had turned into the woman she hated much of her married life. Because remember, no one ever learned from their mistakes on GG. They were constantly repeating them and with some characters (Kirk, Luke, Lorelai) it was twice as bad when they did it again.

I got why they were doing it but yes, Phil's clothes made no sense at all. Even using the VR game gear later on. Just weird, even for Phil.

From I also understand, Fuller didn't help matters, she has been talked about and even said she likes things a certain way on projects. She was removed from iZombie after the pilot and apparently was going to be in Grandfathered but that didn't work out either. She has worked, but it does seem she isn't the easiest to work with. Not like she is alone on that, but almost everyone has said, they were going to replace her no matter what because they didn't see her fitting good with Masterson and aging Boyd made it look like she was too young. Plus, we do know from season 2 that they admitted having baby Boyd wasn't working because of time getting the twins away from the show, Dexter (They were his son) and waiting for them to cooperate with the cast and crew was getting tiresome. So, when they felt that doing this would change dynamics, Tim Allen decided to insert his ideas to be more Archie Bunker and they ran with it. Plus, we know there are critics and fans of the show like the political tripe of the show, but do agree it will become dated at some point (now). I do feel alone half the time, like I'm the only one watching the show, but hey outside getting my streaming of Jessica Jones in the next week. Not much to watch on TV right now, I don't have cable, I stream and use attenna and I'm a graduate student. I have to make time for the family and only can watch so much TV.

Sorry, missed that for some reason.

Yeah, its the writing and the character. The actor is good, I've seen him in other work, including doing voice acting. When he first showed up, I was like: "Awesome, I enjoy this work." Now... no, I want Andy gone.

Plus, half the time they are stealing things, doing things that cost way too much money, ect. Its just a cheap ploy when the writers don't have any idea to use Gloria in an episode. Both Jay and Manny don't like them and it shows, including Manny abandoning not knowing Spanish anymore (Still stupid). I also like how anyone could walk into the house that Phil was trying to sell. Andy and Haley I get. Andy is the assistant and Haley explained how she did it in the beginning. Everyone else, was too much, but I laughed pretty hard with Mitch on the pole. In fact I did laugh a lot this episode with Mrs. Readster. However, we all agree with Alex and the nerdy boyfriend, give it up writers. She can date normal guys who have quirks and I get that Ariel Winters had a breast reduction but doesn't she ever get too warm dressing like grandma. She can be smart and wear regular clothes. Plus, you will never convince me with Andy and Haley. You had your chance with the doctor or writing out Beth completely. You were breaking the 4th wall with Andy's drug induced ranch. You tried to pull a Marris like on Fraiser but knew you couldn't do it because you wanted to add "drama" to hooking up a couple very few people care about.

Exactly! Then you had to do his major out of character attitude, the lost lost daughter stupidity he did. Trying to tell us that he was apparently "irresponsible" in his early to mid 20s. I mean come on! Season 6 wasn't just Luke and Lorelai being way out of character but everyone was. Richard and Emily, Christopher, Sookie (which was unforgivable), Jackson. I could go on not to mention how extreme both Taylor and Kirk were. I mean, anyone doing what they did would have been arrested or someone would have done a hit and run. Season was AS-P throwing things against the wall and seeing what stuck and when none of it did, she went: "Its the Moonlighting Curse, you can't write a show with main characters in a relationship. Give me money or I'm leaving! Waaaaa!"
