Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 5, Episode 19 “But I’m a Gilmore”

Jen1 Comment

SO CLOSE TO THE END OF THIS SEASON. I don’t think I’ll ever catch up to the Gilmore Guys. But there is a good chance I will finish the entire series before the new episodes are released. I just thank God that Amy Sherman-Palladino is a better writer than Chris Carter. Because that X-Files revival? Save the joy of seeing Mulder and Scully pal around again and one amazing episode featuring a Were-Monster (and Kumail Nanjiani!), the season was lackluster. And the premier and finale were complete ass. Ever wonder what would happen if you gave an anti-vaxxer, a chemtrail truther, and your Tea Party Uncle the green light to write two hours of television? That was “My Struggle” parts 1 & 2.

At least we got this out of the revival:

io9 – Thank you for preserving this moment for internet posterity. We can only hope the Gilmore revival will produce something 20% as magical as this gif.

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 5, Episode 18 “To Die and Let Diorama”

I was in a good mood before I sat down to write this. It’s only noon on Sunday and I’ve already accomplished the following:

  • Laundry
  • Cleaning the apartment (including dusting!)
  • Planted an herb garden for my kitchen window
  • Consumed 1 latte
  • Read three comic books from my giant “to read” comic book pile

Look how much I’ve gotten done! Look how accomplished! How adult! Time to sit down and write a review! I’ll finish early and have time to try and work on OTHER writing! How exciting!

So I was in a good mood. Until I saw this:

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 5, Episode 17 “Pulp Friction”

I would like to give a quick memorial shout out to the umpteenth pair of earbuds that have met their doom thanks to my cat. I thought I’d outsmarted him by leaving them in my purse. He caught on and was just waiting for the day I left the purse unzipped to make his move. RIP, purple earbuds. You served me well.

Now what am I going to do when I get “Hotline Bling” stuck in my head? Is there a more insidious song than “Hotline Bling”? It was released about 10,000 internet years ago, everyone has stopped photoshopping Drake into memes, so you’d think you’d be safe. You haven’t heard it for weeks, and then, suddenly, springing up in the back of your mind like a whack-a-mole: “YOU USED TO CALL ME ON MY CELL PHONE…”

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 5, Episode 13 “Wedding Bell Blues”

I’m not looking forward to this episode because I assume this is the episode where C-Money makes a bid for Lorelai’s affections even though it makes zero narrative sense why he would do so at this point in the show.

But before all that goes down, let us gaze upon whatever the hell Lorelai is wearing in this scene:

Is that jacket…alive? If I plant it, will it grow into a jacket tree and one day bear tiny jacket fruit that I can then harvest and sell on eBay to people who collect weird dolls?
