Please do not post spoilers from the subsequent episode.

Rory being "back" makes perfect sense.

Rory becoming Gazette editor perfect.

Stars Hollow musical WTF?!?!

Prediction:  Lorelei leaving Stars Hollow?

[Deleted]

I'm flying through this just to get to the last four words.

[Deleted]

I gotta know.

[ilikedonuts]

The musical took up waaaaaaaaaaay too much. They should have cut that and brought back Marty (naked guy) for a few scenes.

Yes, I was torn because it was funny, and I definitely laughed out loud at some of Lorelei's reactions to it, but too much.

Summer is my least favorite so far

Have their jokes always been so mean-spirited? I'm not enjoying the pool scenes at all.

Yes. I never noticed it until Gilmore Guys, but yes.

Actual convo with my sister:


Sister: Not digging the body shaming start to summer
Me: Very gg
Sister:It was just more acceptable 10 years ago. You'd think they'd have grown with society
Me: No.
She's a hipster
On principle won't change because she 'doesnt care'
Gilmore Guys related analysis

Yeah that pool scene was super shitty

That makes me sad. For some reason I don't remember them being that mean-spirited, but it's also been a few years since the last time I watched.

Why is the professor a cemetery employee?!

Right?!? I thought that was the same guy too!

[teengirlsquad]

This episode was really sad. They spent way too much time on the musical.
Once again here comes Jess to talk sense into Rory. I love him - he might be too good for her - I may not want them to end up together as I have wanted all these years.

I'm super curious now for Fall.

[suzubell]

The musical was waaaaaaay too long. I didn't find it interesting at all.

[katespade]

I had the same thought, teengirlsquad. I think that grown-up Jess is too good for Rory, and it makes me hope they don't end up together even though he has always been my favorite.

[redheadk]

Musical was fun but the story line went on too long. But the Carole king but was excellent!

[kaybee85]

My sister pointed out that Lorelei would have loved the musical being that terrible, which I agree with, but I loved watching her in disbelief when everyone was gushing and she had a million notes.

I think that was meant to show how out of sync she was with her life.

The last number, unbreakable, was wow. A really nice, truthful, sad moment. It really pinpointed everything we saw in the OS and brought it all together, especially combined with the speech to Rory about only showing people the parts of her life she wanted them to see.

Ooh, interesting read of that.

That musical was perfection!!!

It's a love, love, love revolution in a revolutionary time!!!

[carrotsmakemefat]

Aw shit. I'm only a few minutes in and I just want to give Rori a big ass hug. I hope she doesn't go to London again ((runs out of thread to watch the next hour and 15 minutes))

[auroraloo]

I just love that Carole King is in it. I love her so much. I started watching GG originally because of the theme song.

Where is it, btw?! I presume it will be in the last one somewhere.

[starlily]

I felt this was the weakest one because they wasted way too much time on the musical. Loved the Carole King cameo, and Logan's abs, but that was about it.

I could've watched seven hours of Logan getting out of bed shirtless

[redheadk]

I was a little taken aback by how Lorelai & Rory treated April and that THAT is all we got. Not that I wanted to see more of April, necessarily, I just thought that they would show Lorelai and April as having a slightly better relationship at this point. Not necessarily close, just at least Lorelai being more polite/friendly to her. But I guess that is what they used to show how they keep their families separate from their partner? But Lorelai came off as bitchy about Jess & towards April to me.

[Jalapeñomel]

Dear god, make this musical nonsense end. I realize you want your money's worth for Sutton Foster, but the bit went on far tooooooo long.

[pumpkin]

The musical was waaaay too long!
And I really liked the grown-up Jess.
