Some other of my favourite bits:

I totally get what you're saying; but what I adore about ATOFAP is that the drama isn't really the center focus until the end. It drives most of the plot in the episode but I find most of the scenes are hilarious, generally interesting through Lorelai's handling of the situation and the reaction of the townies…

She didn't give them all of it, though. She paid back *what was left* of what she owed them.

I adore Tobin/Bruce McCulloch.

Never has a facepalm been more appropriate. The show's freaking MO since day 1 has been to "make the small big and keep the big small."

I think "A Tale of Fire and Poes" is my favourite of season 3 and easily a series' best.

wrong board

yeah, she said it was the only line she ever challenged ASP on.

That's how I've always seen it. I can't imagine Lorelai, who got pregnant at 16, thinking any less of teenagers that are sexually active.

I don't get it either. I had initially assumed that due to Sims having been a big fan prior to this that the reviews would be love letters of a sort (not that I want that, but hey, some  major affinity is also good!) but they read like someone who grew up loving the show and continues to do so out of nostalgia; but…

I was hoping we could all talk about the sex talk scene a little more because I think it's one of the series' finest.  It's already rare for television to depict honest and non cheesy parent-child sex discussions, but what's especially unique and well, powerful about the show's approach to it is the layering that…

Both episodes don't completely land, but I really love both of them, particularly "Dear Emily and Richard." The younger Lorelai and Christopher here are definitely not great, but the material they're exploring  is so rich and satisfying for me that I'm pretty damn forgiving. There so many countless moments that…

Maybe. I personally like to look at it like Michel is joking but it still bugs me because of how it's played and that possibility.  I know I sound annoying and super sensitive, but it bugs me so much because it's coming from a show that while is styled in its own fantastical comedic way, remains very much grounded in…

Ugh, Michel's line in "I Solemnly Swear" about getting rid of a dog is so awful that I have to consider it not canon. In itself it's fucked up and even though Michel is a jerk, he ain't a sociopath. I mean, this is the future owner of his prized chows and him doing something like that seems *really* contradictory and …

Sookie's clumsiness has always been there, sometimes subtly. It's just not as up front and center  and exaggerated as it is in the pilot.

She really, really does. Melissa Mccarthy still makes me laugh most as Sookie.

Oh, I don't think think the writers or Lorelai herself think she's handling the situation well at all. But isn't that the point? I mean, Yale represents her parents, that life, that history. So when she sees Rory considering it, it's an amalgamation of them getting in the way, affecting Rory's decision, her going down…

S3 is the strongest in cast chemistry and humour (perhaps a little too strongly focused as well) so I think regardless of the somewhat uneven writing, it's almost always really damn enjoyable? "Eight O' Clock at the Oasis" is probably the most maligned episode of
season 3 but (and it applies to so many of this show)…

Oh I'd love that. And totally agreed, this show was built for crazy good subsequent seasons and it just kills me that we'll never get to them.

I knew this was going to be special based off the twitter photos and it definitely lived up to it.
