GILMORE GIRL TIME!!! I did the math the other day and I have to review 4 episodes a week in order to finish out the series by the end of the year.

Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 2, Episode 10 “The Bracebridge Dinner”
Lorelai and Rory build a snowman in the town square as part of a town snowman building contest. If this episode was written today there would be a lot of quippy dialogue about Elsa and Anna and how Frozen is really Disney’s Godfather 3.
The girls build the crankiest of snowladies (which I adore) all while sniping about Paris and the ringer brought in by an anonymous townsperson (Taylor? Has to be) to steal the competition. I think their snowman looks like a younger Judgy WASP Mom, which must be an expression of Lorelai’s subconscious.
Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 2, Episode 8 “The Ins and Outs of Inns”
Spacey Grandpa is stranded in Akron (yeesh) so Rory and Judgy WASP Mom decide to cheer him up with an oil portrait. So now there are three kinds of people on the entire planet who still get their portraits painted – world leaders, members of royalty, and Gilmore girls. I hope they hire this guy:
Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 2, Episode 7 “Like Mother Like Daughter”
We begin this episode with yet another trip to the diner and Lorelai wearing pink. frosted. lipstick. BUBBLE GUM PINK FROSTED LIPSTICK that matches her shirt.
If there is one thing I have learned from writing these reviews, it’s that there is always an appropriate Bianca Del Rio reaction gif.
Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 2, Episode 6 “Presenting Lorelai Gilmore”
Something is seriously wrong with Spacey Grandpa. We start this episode with Judgy WASP Mom and Spacey Grandpa embroiled in a fight – he’s been turning down all social engagements on their behalf, even though Judgy WASP Mom is on the committee of several of the organizations. He says it’s because he’s “too busy” to attend. Can’t Judgy WASP Mom go on her own? Or does the very idea that a woman would attend an event without her husband a clear sign of my “poor breeding?”
That is what this episode is about after all – Rory being presented to the very best of society as a lady of “good breeding.” She’s like a show pony!!

EXT. BEACH – DAWN
JEN lies facedown on the beach, unmoving. Her clothes are tattered, her hair wet and matted. Blood trickles slowly from the corner of her mouth and drips onto the pristine white sand. This is it. This is the end.
Suddenly, dawn BREAKS on the horizon. The sun shines onto Jen’s face. Her eyes squint in response and she raises her face toward the restorative light.
JEN
(whispering)
It’s over…The Discount Braff wedding arc is over…
Joyful tears pour down Jen’s cheeks. She smiles. She’s made it. She’s survived.
FADE OUT
Review: Gilmore Girls – Season 2, Episode 4 “The Road Trip to Harvard”
Dear TV Jesus:
I am a simple woman who does not ask for much – Everyone looking beautiful and utterly destroyed by life in Mad Men, actual dragons on Game of Thrones, BabyBruce and BabySelina sharing a smile in Gotham. I am easy to please. Today I break my prayer silence to ask that this episode of the Gilmore Girls be the last episode featuring the ridiculous Discount Braff wedding plot line. I will not spend time talking about how this plot line is a desperate attempt to keep Luke and Lorelai apart while the writers work out an actual story arc for Luke’s character. I will not mention how this plot line is a stunt that really should have been pulled in a later season in a desperate attempt to keep fleeing viewers from jumping ship. And I will certainly not point out, again, that Discount Braff is one boring motherfucker who I can barely picture having coffee with Lorelai let alone doing God’s Naughty Twerk with her.
In Broadcasting’s Name We Pray,
A-Mad Men.
