Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 3, Episode 19 “Keg! Max!”

The girls begin this episode dealing with the grandparent fallout from last episode. They’re home and bored on a Friday night, while Judgy WASP Mom and Spacey Grandpa are “partying.” The girls act like they’re missing something but you know if Lorelai had been invited she’d be making snide remarks about how she doesn’t want to spend her Friday night talking to Muffy and Sterling about their annuity.

The Elder Gilmores’ party is just a bunch of rich people singing songs around the piano like its Downton Abbey and there is no electricity or TV yet so people had to talk to each other for entertainment. Or like that episode of Archer where everyone pretended to be the wealthy attendees of Mallory’s dinner party so she wouldn’t get busted for killing a dude in a really kinky sex game.

There are probably fewer butt plugs involved at Richard & Emily’s party.

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 3, Episode 15 “Face-Off”

We begin this episode with Taylor being Taylor. He’s planning a family reunion and driving Lorelai so insane she forces Rory to pretend to be ill so she can escape. I hope every person in Taylor’s family is played by the actor who plays Taylor – even the children. And they all have beards. And they’re all cute for like a minute and then you just get disgusted, which then turns to terror. It’s like watching the minions.

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 3, Episode 14 “Swan Song”

It’s Friday Night Dinner at Judgy WASP Mom’s house and she’s making it very clear that she hates her mother-in-law, who has had quite the run as one of Satan’s wives. She then changes the subject to Rory’s new boyfriend. She wants to meet him. She wants Rory to bring Broody, the guy who couldn’t fathom participating in a town event, the guy who doesn’t think he needs to try now that he and Rory are together, to her house for dinner.

I can’t wait for her to eat him alive.

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 3, Episode 13 “Dear Emily and Richard”

We begin this episode with both Judgy WASP Mom and Spacey Grandpa laughing at Rory and Lorelai. The girls are planning to backpack around Europe after Rory graduates college, and this is apparently the funniest thing since the last Louis C.K. special. When the girls tell them that they’re serious, the pearl clutching commences post-haste.

At what point do we tell Lorelai that most hostels have an age limit?
