Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 1, Episode 20 “P.S. I Lo…”

JenLeave a comment

EPISODE 20!!! Oh shit, I am SO CLOSE to the end of the first season. I hope this episode has more exciting plot points than last episode – the only noteworthy thing from that one was “Judgy WASP Mom wears ugly shoes.”

During the cold open, Lorelai and Rory play “One Two Three He’s Yours” which is a game where they get three chances to “find” a husband based on the random men that walk by. Lorelai gets stuck with Kirk from the supermarket and is sad. Rory gets an eyeful of Floppy and is sad.

I’ve always found the best way to start any story is from a place where everyone is sad and would like to die. It makes the audience feel good.

Time for Judgy WASP Mom to go antiquing in Stars Hollow! I hope she buys Miss Patty’s discarded drums and dances nude atop them for Spacey Grandpa.

There are no baby pictures of Lorelai because she had an abnormally large head as a baby. She was unsightly, which was probably the one and only time anyone will ever write that about Lorelai Gilmore.

Rumor has it that she looked like this:

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 1, Episode 17 “The Breakup, Part II”

We pick up right where we left off – Rory home from her date with Floppy. She doesn’t want to tell Lorelai why they broke up. She starts throwing away all the things that remind her of Floppy – considering he would routinely knock on her window and he’s come over for movie night, I’m guessing this episode is the one where Rory burns the house to the ground?

BURN ALL THE MEMORIES OF FLOPPY! BURN THEM!

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 1, Episode 13 “Concert Interruptus”

Episode 13! Halfway through the first season, baby!

I was listening to the Gilmore Guys podcast and they mentioned there are 153 episodes. 153? Do you know I’ll never be done reviewing this show unless I step up my game?

Lorelai is running the town rummage sale, meaning her house looks like an episode of Hoarders. Luke drops off some stuff, including a bag of clothes, and Lorelai immediately gravitates toward the tackiest thing in his clothing bag. This woman loves rhinestones more than most drag queens.

Bianca Del Rio – Greatest RuPaul’s Drag Race winner of all time. (Yes, I HAVE watched all 7 seasons as they’ve aired.)

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 1, Episode 12 “Double Date”

What is with this show and the band XTC? In episode 2, Lane came running over with the new XTC CD held aloft. In the cold open for this episode, we’re treated to a “getting ready in the morning” montage set to XTC’s “Earn Enough For Us”. Were the creators friends with this band? Were they in this band? Did they feel bad because this band cursed itself with the name XTC?

“Get it? X. T.C? Like the drug? Or like that feeling when you’re really enjoying sex? But mostly like the drug?”

(Also – that cover is from their album White Music. This works very well with the Gilmore Girls because if I were to say “There are like 4 people of color on this show!” it would be EXTREMELY GENEROUS.)
