I didn't say that Logan is directly to blame for Rory's behaviour. Obviously, she is her own person, not Logan's puppet. But you can't deny either that being around Logan had a horrible effect on Rory's personality.

It's a bit annoying to get used to, but I predict that once we do get used to it, it might be better than the old one. The only thing I dislike is having to keep on clicking 'more comments' to load more than 80 comments at a time - very irritating for reviews with hundreds or even thousands of comments.

Aww, no mention of the adorable FND cold open of 'Happy Birthday, Baby' (except for the Johnny Machete part)? IMO, it's one of the sweetest scenes the Gilmores have had as a family. Everyone is getting along at dinner, and then Rory makes her announcement, and Richard and Emily are so proud of her. The way they hug…

Ok, I do agree with that. It may be more drama than normal, but it's still drama in a typically low key GG way.

If Sims were reviewing Breaking Bad, he'd keep wondering why the show keeps discussing meth so much, or why Walter just doesn't quit while he's ahead. If he were reviewing Mad Men, he'd wonder why they spend so much time on the boring advertising stuff that no one cares for anyway. If he were reviewing Seinfeld, he'd…

Yes, he IS the Devil's spawn - wait till you meet his dad. ;)

Ooh, a Kindred Spirit!

Hmm, my feelings for this episode are kind of the opposite. IMO, GG works best when it isn't about major events, or really any events at all. Sure, life-changing events occasionally happen to all of us, and it would be weird if they didn't happen to the Lorelais. But I infinitely prefer the episodes in which nothing…

"It takes a weird approach to what must be a yearly extravaganza, having the action occur off-screen at the end of the episode"

I thought it was fairly obvious why Rory 'chooses' Yale in the meta-sense. As Jess points out in this very episode, it's just 22.8 miles from Stars Hollow, so it would enable Rory to remain (relatively) more tied to the Stars Hollow stories. And of course, it would allow the continuation of FNDs in the college years.…

Not that we needed any more evidence of it … *sigh*

And writing thank you notes.

@avclub-b6e8cb5c4ccebe66e4478c1622f904eb:disqus I love that interpretation. It explains why the story of how Ted met this woman has included everyone but her for 8 years, and has apparently forgotten about her almost immediately after including her.

The whole Slutty Pumpkin bit was idiotic, at least the part where Ted actually met her. Apparently the SP had also been trying to find Ted for 10 years … so why didn't she find him if they both went to the same party every Halloween, dressed in the same costumes? Did they develop selective blindness whenever they were…

Maybe he does know. After they met, she would probably have told him that she was there during that particular Halloween. It still doesn't explain why he missed her, since he certainly should have noticed her.

Yeah … it's not exactly 'Walt's entire storyline' as the headline promises.

@avclub-a5dcf1d903cb62a1e414fe0f6cda3c6a:disqus  I like the idea of Lisa Kudrow for the role.

The whole premise of the Sheldon-Amy story in this episode was absurd. So Sheldon is apparently a genius, yet he hasn't noticed a glaring plot hole in a movie after watching it 36 times? Sorry, that's the definition of 'moron' not 'genius'.

They've already gone in that predictable direction. Sheldon was so jealous of Amy dating Stuart (in season 5's The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition) that he came up with the relationship agreement.

Why doesn't Leonard simply take legal action to get that book of hers off the market? Obviously he didn't give consent for his name or anecdotes from his childhood to be published in it, so he could easily get it stopped.
