The TL, DR version of my review/recap:
After burning through Jerome, the Riddler becoming the Riddler, and the Penguin/Galavan conflict in less than half a season, Gotham is all

In this cold open of the Gilmore Girls, Luke hates babies and Taylor has decided to wear a dead possum on his head. (R.I.P. rodent.)
Not only is the title of the episode the title of a Rod Stewart song, I feel the plot can be distilled into a gif. This gif:

My Gilmore Girls review game has been lacking as of late. Lots of factors contributed to this (busy weekends, Gotham sucking my will to live let alone review, etc.) but none of that matters. What matters is I get off my ass and write some god damned Gilmore Girls reviews!
We begin this episode with Kirk fat-shaming the girls because he was too weak to take them to Luke’s in his pedicab. Hand to God – this is the exact reason I have never ridden in a pedicab. I bike alone!

At the top of each A.V. Club TV review they list a letter grade for the episode. They gave this episode a B-. I thought, “Am I too hard on this show? Am I expecting too much because I’m such a fan of the source material?” (Spoiler – Nope.)
Then I read the review. They gave it a B- because the episode had a coherent story with a beginning, middle, and end. For Gotham, that’s a big deal. The very basics of storytelling are present here and that earns this show a decent grade. And I get it – the A.V. Club reviewer is probably doing everything possible to prevent his brain from walking out the door.
I myself just spent 48 minutes on YouTube watching Nine Inch Nails videos so I wouldn’t have to rewatch this god forsaken shit show of a show.
Ok. Let’s do this.
It’s late. I just got back from WWE’s Hell In A Cell event (my husband hearts wrestling), and I’m coming out of a Benadryl-induced brain fog. This review should be fun.

It’s kind of official – Gilmore Girls is coming back to Netflix with 4 all new 90 minute episodes/”mini-movies”! I am SO FUCKED if I don’t step up my game and knock out these reviews before that happens.
Hey look! Lorelai has hair like I do when I let it air dry!
