The title of this episode makes me think of romance novels. Not the good kind – the kind you used to be able to find in grocery stores with covers like this:

“Here I go
Here I go
Here I go again
Girls what’s my weakness?
BAD TV!”
The official Hulu name of this episode is “Rise of Villains: Damned If You Do…” but I’m not going to bother with that because It’s my fucking blog and I don’t have to.

I’ve spent my entire weekend at the LA Podcast Festival. It was fun and I had a great time. However, I’m exhausted. I’d like nothing more than to put on a movie and mindlessly sew sequins onto a Harry Potter t-shirt for shits and giggles, but Gotham begins tomorrow. That means I must bring you Gilmore fun TODAY. That’s how dedicated I am to bringing unfunny observations about a 15-year-old TV show to you, the reader.

Based on the title alone, I’m already expecting this episode to be hostile. I’m sure it’s fine – it probably just means “the jerk.”

This cold open is all about shitty music, laundry, and coupons. It’s like being forced to have a conversation with your most boring aunt.
Palette cleanser – here’s a lion playing with a tire:

Just a quick note – starting the week of September 21st, I will be reviewing Season 2 of GOTHAM. Gilmore Girls reviews will still continue.
We begin this episode with Judgy WASP Mom and Spacey Grandpa complaining that someone in the neighborhood gave out king-sized candy bars for Halloween (aka THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER) thus outdoing the Gilmore’s regular-sized candy bars. Then people start talking about balls and I’m giggling like an 8-year-old because, as Lorelai says, “Balls are funny.” They are. They really really are.

Lorelai is gardening but that doesn’t matter – THERE ARE HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS IN THE BACKGROUND. YES!!! PRAISE!!! HALLOWEEN IS THE BEST HOLIDAY!!
Let us celebrate the dawn of fall both in real life & on the show by getting down to some “Monster Mash.”
