I’m not sure how to start this review. It’s difficult because…well, because I think I actually liked this episode.
I. LIKED. IT. Not “loved to hate it!” or whatever other obnoxious hipster crap I usually pull, I UNIRONICALLY LIKED THIS EPISODE.
What am I going to say? What am I going to do? DO I EXIST IF I AM NOT ACTIVELY BITCHING ABOUT TELEVISION? Am I fading away like Marty in Back to the Future before his nerdy dad kisses his mom at the Under the Sea dance????
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.
