Kirk getting passed around town when he moved out of his mother's house and being found sleeping naked in Luke's boat was a good episode for him.

I want a Gilmore Girls t-shirt collection. I'd love a "Babette ate oatmeal" shirt, a "Goodbye Twickham" shirt, and a crew member shirt for the Stars Hollow museum. You can get them on CafePress and Zazzle, but I've never been fussed enough about it to spend the money.

Ah yes, of course. I got the M right!

I'm proud to say that my cats are named Mac & Tosh. I specifically named them after the Looney Tunes gophers. I nearly pitched an excited fit when I first heard them referenced on GG.

Wasn't Kirk initially referred to as Marty? A name that was recycled for Milquetoast Marty (as I like to think of him.)

I caught latter-years NIN live a few times. The crowd was pretty solidly in their 30's. The first time, I looked around and wondered why the hell NIN's audience was so old, then I realized that Pretty Hate Machine had come out almost 20 years previous to that, and I was the same age everyone else there was. NIN's

Me, too. He was hilarious running up the stairs to go see the doctor. I usually give the scene-stealer crown to John Slattery, but I think Harry Hamlin took it last night.

M*A*S*H had some great recurring and minor characters who were more interesting to watch than the leads (Col. Flagg, Captain Sloan, Rosie, various other locals, some of the nurses). Sydney Freedman was definitely one of their great characters. Some of the episodes with him in them are my favourites.

One of the creators? Thank you for such a great show. S&A is up there as one of my favourites.

Darren Nichols being Darren Nichols-y, to quote @avclub-90a5da808b7409c044aac94d490e7f0d:disqus  above, is definitely one of my favourite parts of the show. I had to rewatch his big scene tonight because I was giggling over his silly spaghetti western cowboy ensemble.

"I'm an actor. I'm not from your world."

That stretch of episodes where Rory gets her shit together and goes back to school has always stuck in my craw a little. She took extra classes to catch up, worked for the Stanford Gazette (lest we forget that she harrassed the editor for a job that was never mentioned again), edited the Yale Daily News, went to

Oh, right, I'd forgotten about that. I remembered that at one point Lorelai said that he hated using computers, but couldn't remember if she actually had one of her own or not.

How unaware they (particularly Emily) were of the internet and computers in general was remarkable. In the episode where the dog shows up in their back yard and Richard shows Emily the website where he found out what breed it is and he then shows her Louis Vuitton's website, is it realistic that Emily wouldn't even

That's a great insight. For all of Emily's games in getting Lorelai to Friday night dinners, or host DAR meetings at the inn, or whatever, it seemed like underneath it was a simple desire to spend time with Lorelai and/or Rory.

Yes. Those moments where all the manipulative stuff drops away and you can see in Emily how sad she is to have missed out on being part of Lorelai and Rory's lives for so long are amazing. You can see it, too, when Emily visits Lorelai's house for the first time and sees the photo of Lorelai with a cast on her leg,

Exactly. Lorelai was 32 when the show started, which puts her at 39 when it ended. She would have slammed into that wall hard at some point during the show.

I didn't mind Digger too much. Of Lorelai's main romantic relationships (Luke, Christopher, Max and Digger), I'd probably rank Digger as my second least favourite. I think I'd rank them in order of preference as Max, Luke, Digger, Christopher. So I suppose it's something that he's not last.

I love that Gilmore Girls is being covered. I've lost count of how many times I've watched through my DVDs. I just finished a rewatch a few weeks ago, but I'm more than happy to start it over again along with these write ups.

The actress who plays Moira, Jackie Burroughs, is (was, actually, since she died a few years ago) pretty great. I remember her from an episode of Due South where she plays a widow who goes to her husband's grave every year and shoots bullets into it because she'd read somewhere that lead works as an insect repellent.
