@avclub-4ba27f099560ca178708875abe28a088:disqus Hmm, she was using present tense verbs ("I *am* a case officer"), but I think she was just describing what her role in the CIA was. I honestly don't feel like she's been involved at the CIA in any capacity since the explosion at Langley. I got an overwhelming sense that

I love Dana. I give no fucks.

Same. Goddess of television as far as I'm concerned.

Claire was the best she's been since those last two episodes in S1 (except for "Q&A"). I found the way her voice broke in two scenes, both talking to Saul, to be really heartbreaking. I'm sensing Emmy #4.

You knew all this crazy shit was happening but goddamit YOU HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.

Carrie's not a CIA agent. Did you see her working at Langley?

Definitely a B+ and a good effort. Season premieres can be tricky. They have to jar you back into the world and exposition can sometimes come off clumsy or clunky.

This is explicitly mentioned in the S4 episode "The Reigning Lorelai." Trix's letter to Richard, which she kept the carbon copy of, suggests Pennilyn Lott was a better match for Richard.

OMG I love Tana. Wanting to wear Rory's Chilton uniform to a Yale party to "I bet she has a nice musk." And her final appearance, when her boyfriend can only speak in cliches and idioms. 

The only explanation is that Mr. Kim is Gilmore Girls' version of My So-Called Life's Tino. 

@jarira:disqus To "borrow" a Luke/Lorelai exchange:
"It's *just* a Birkin bag."
"It's symbolic."

Season 7 is like really good Gilmore Girls fan fiction. Which isn't necessarily bad but, I agree, it's kind of flat. The reality is that ASP's dialogue is so unique and special and even if David Rosenthal didn't have to dig the show out of that true shithole of a mess ASP left at the end of S6, S7 still would pale in

You can go back to hating him if you think Logan giving her a Birkin bag earlier in the episode was somehow connected to her outpouring of emotion…

Emily can also bring out the worst in her.

*spoiler for later seasons* I just remembered that when Rory and Logan are dating she tells him she loves him with absolutely no expectation that he would say it back. She just wanted to tell him. Logan responds that he's said "I love you" to a lot of girls before without ever meaning it and didn't want to do the same

She plays virtually the same character as Francine as Mike's (Paul Rudd) uppity mother on Friends.

Christopher was emotionally immature and, while Lorelai could often be seen that way, too, the difference was that Lorelai knew when to be Rory's mother and when to be her friend. Christopher both didn't recognize when to be one or the other and really only cared to be her friend and whenever it was convenient for

Oh, good suggestion of the turning point. (Although for me it might have been his attempt to break up Luke and Lorelai at Emily and Richard's vow renewal.) Yeah, I think the inheritance thing might have been the metaphorical straw. It felt like they were trying to make him more likable by allowing him to be more

I agree his attachment gets progressively more insane as the seasons go on. Like that plotline in S2 when he's calling Rory like ten times in two hours and waiting for her outside of the house after Friday Night Dinner.

Hmm… I think Rory was emotionally cheating on Dean with Jess for a good portion of late S2/early S3. I really dislike Dean and absolutely hate the way that he publicly humiliated Rory like that at the dance marathon but in some ways I feel like she deserved it. She treated Dean like shit (and then Jess treated her
