I am so far behind on these reviews. You know what the worst thing about being an adult is? Your weekend becomes “errand time” and you have to do all your shit at once so you aren’t stuck doing it during the week. We did all our shit today because tomorrow we’re going to Wondercon. GIVE ME ALL THE COMIC BOOKS (not like I need anymore – I have a huge stack I need to read.)
Anyway, let’s start this episode with a healthy dose of fat-shaming and big foot shaming courtesy of Lorelai!
This episode begins the way all good things begin – with Pop-Tarts and accidental nakedness. As a dedicated Never Nude, I myself have never been naked. However, I do love a good Pop-Tart and I assume people with good bodies like to get naked now and then, so these two things must be amazing when combined. What is the best Pop-Tart for nakedness? Strawberry frosted? Unfrosted blueberry? Something more unorthodox, like S’mores?
There are horses in this cold open. Lorelai, completely ignoring the insane cost of keeping and feeding horses, has decided that the Dragonfly will have stables so guests can ride into town to go to Luke’s or Miss Patty’s (the only places that exist in Stars Hollow.)
I hope she’s getting horses like this one:
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:
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.”
We start this episode off with Rory bringing some laundry home to Stars Hollow. Apparently the show forgot that her grandparents gifted her a Prius at graduation, because she’s not driving one here. We know because it’s missing the distinctive “stinkbug ass” of all first-gen Priuses.
More importantly, Rory cut her hair! And it’s cute!
Wow. That’s a sign of how little can happen in these cold opens – I’m excited over a haircut and trying to be witty when referring to a Prius.
