I want to talk Gilmore Girls.

[Jalapeñomel]

Because I am re-watching it for the billionth time, and I'm almost done. 

1) Why do the doors in the kitchen of their house (and Christopher's house too) have the hinges on the outside?  Their set designer should be fired. 
2) I am 100% team Logan...I think he was the best match for her. 
3) Rory might be in the top 10 worst actors of all time...she has the same face for everything, and all her lines are delivered monotonously.  It actually cracks me up. 
4) Where is Paul Anka when Lorelei stays with Luke?
5) I wish they just came to terms with Luke's hair loss, so that he doesn't wear his hat the majority of the time. 

[pandorica]

I disagree, I think Logan was kind of an ass sometimes! And can you imagine having his family as inlaws?

I'm only on season 3 for this rewatch. H is watching it all with me. He hates Lorelai!

[okla]

I started a couple months ago watching for the first time on Netflix. I had to stop watching in season 3. The trout in the bathtub was the final straw and the moment I said, "nope, this shit is ridiculous, I'm done."

[janegold]

I also liked Logan the best of her 3 boyfriends. Dean was immature and Jess was a total asshole.

I think I recall Lorelai thanking Babette for keeping an eye on Paul Anka at some point.

I prefer Luke with his hat on

Agreed that Alexis Bledel is not the greatest actress. But I Iove the show so much that I rarely notice.

No comments on the door hinges, lol.

He was a total ass.  I think that's why I liked him, LOL.  But Dean was totally possessive and controlling, and Jess was just a complete dick...at least Logan was rich.

Who's not kind of an ass sometimes?!

So was Dean, and Jess was an ass ALL the time.

[starlily]

I hated both Rory and Logan towards the end of their relationship. Rory + Jess after he got his shit together would've been the best pairing.

I do remember her saying this now...I guess it annoys me that his hat is on backwards.  And I now associate him with the Saw movies, lol.

[pandorica]

But Jess seemed to have his life together when he came back for an episode or 2 later in the series, and I was really hoping she'd ditch Logan for Jess. I bet he wasn't an ass anymore (at least that's what I tell myself).

Yes!

[irene adler]

I love the episode where Jess asked Rory to run away with him. I wish she would have just rolled her eyes and said "I'm a sophomore at Yale, bitch. I don't want to sleep in a car with you"

And I adore Emily and am sad that Lorilei and Rory were SO awful to her. Shape was overbearing, but damn. They were so bratty.

Well, to be fair to Jess, I think he was the hottest (although too short for my taste).

I think there are more, actually, but don't quote me on that.  It's like the Friday the 13th for the 2000s.

Well I'm glad I never saw them. That would ruin Luke for me!

[karmasabiotch]

I'm on my 4'th episode on Netflix. I've never watched it before but love it so far.

[McGavin]

Maybe I need to rewatch because Logan is a total ass in my mind. All three of them are shitheads. I don't care who was the best/worst, I just imagine she spent some time alone on the campaign trail and then eventually met some awesome dude or maybe reconnected with that teacher's assistant she had a crush on.

[pitterwoo]

I just started rewatching and I never realized how totally obnoxious Lorelei is at all times. And Rory isn't interesting and has no chemistry with the guys she's dating. So, now I don't really know why I'm watching. I do enjoy the late 90s and early 2000s nostalgia though.

I pretty much can't watch Lauren Graham in anything anymore, she will always be Lorelei to me.

I would be remiss posting in this thread without mentioning imoan and her ridiculois obsession with this show.

I watched "Bad Santa" recently, and was dying of laughter at Lorelei as a bartender with a santa fetish.

Oh, and I just realized imoan bought her car specifically to match Rory's.

[iamgrace]

Jess was super hot. I would be allll over that. Then his hair grew a bit, and was kinda greasy. Nope.

Logan was charming and that always gets me. Also hot.

Dean was too desperate in the end and I hate that.

Emily was a bitch.

I think AB is not the greatest actress, but the monotone thing kinda went with her character, no?

Yes, Lorelei is sometimes a total brat, BUT ultimately I think it's because her parents totally suffocated her and it's just all the old feelings being played out.

and named her kid Lorelei. Yes she did.

[zitiqueen]

I actually think season one was Alexis Bledel's best season, acting-wise, probably because she didn't know what she was doing. During season two she started trying to act and that's when it all went to shit. My H calls her Marble-mouth.

I'm not a fan of Jess but he gave Rory the ass-kicking she needed to get back to Yale.

[wambam]

LOGAN 4 LYF

he makes my lady bits tingle.

But that had nothing to do with Gilmore Girls. She had always loved that name, independent of the show.

lol

I agree with everything you said, iamgrace! I love this show.

Is that her story? What a load of crap. I remember her post where she asked if she should just bite the bullet and name her kid Lorelai because everybody in her life knew how much she loved Gilmore Girls.

[redheadk]

Rory was better for Logan than Logan was for Rory. None of her boyfriends were awesome. I think Logan sometimes seems better than he was because he was good to her day-to-day and smart (unlike Dean who was a freaking box of rocks) but the larger things just seemed off with him, like he didn't really, truly understand her (see their relationship at the end of the series, trying not to spoil).
