I love that we got to see the dream sequence way back when (was that even in this season?). Such a cute moment.

(Replying to myself because I can't reply to ArrogantHipster)
I'm not analysing Lauren Graham's acting at all. I'm looking at what she's saying, not how she's saying it. Lorelai hears that Rory hasn't had sex yet and her response is, 'I got the good kid.' I don't know how that can be interpreted as a sex-positive

I really like how the show deals with Dave's jealousy and Lane's delighted response to it.

Why, why, why did they get married? Seriously, why? They're SO young and suddenly they're living together and having grown up problems. Why would you want that at that age? Why couldn't they just date? At least then it isn't such a big fucking deal if you break up.

Well, that's true. Jackson without a beard is like Sam Elliott without a moustache. Weird and wrong.

Sex-positive doesn't mean that you have to encourage teenagers to have sex. It simply means that if teenagers do decide to have sex it's not something shameful that should be condemned. It's not automatically wrong. I mean, if Rory at that point had slept with Dean or Jess (or both) she wouldn't suddenly not be a good

I kind of agree with this. But Lorelai still says 'I have the good kid.' So, Paris is the bad kid. And what's the difference between Paris and Rory? Paris had sex. That's not a sex-positive attitude from Lorelai, in my opinion.

When I first watched that scene, I thought Lorelai was just proud of how supportive of Paris Rory was. When I watched it the second time, I thought that Lorelai was happy that Rory hadn't felt obliged to have sex yet. I mean, at that age having had sex is not handled with a lot of nuance. If you're a virgin, some

Isn't this also just a TV/movie thing? I mean, how many times does it happen in real life that a couple of days before the wedding the bride or groom realises 'nope, don't wanna marry this person after all'? Real couples usually discuss marriage and then they decide to get married or one of them proposes and then they

Yep, I think he's handsome. And that whole laidback, down-to-earth thing he's got going on only makes him more attractive.

Wonderful interview. I really enjoyed reading this. I somehow (stupidly) didn't expect Christopher Plummer to have such a great sense of humour. I mean, who knew?

I was super confused when Nicole was meeting Luke, because I thought Nicole was blond. I remember very little about her character, but I distinctly remember her being blond. And… she's not. Am I the only one who had this problem?

I know it's Rory, so it would never happen, but I would have paid good money to see that. I mean, I would probably have launched myself across the table much earlier when Francie was smiling one of her aren't-I-a-clever-little-schemer smiles.

That was my initial reaction to GG too. Too much talking, too fast. I love it now.

I can't even dislike Alex. He's such a non-entity. He's is there, being pleasant and getting Lorelai, and then he's gone.

That is definitely deserving of an exasperated SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMS! Aside from that mistake, though, I mostly agree with Sims this week. These episodes weren't dull or anything, but very little happened. Paris is not taking to Rory because of insane (and not regularly insane Paris reasons, but contrivance)

For some reason I can't reply to AllThisWeirdBeauty, so I'm replying here. That link is awesome.

Ah, I'm glad that it didn't come across as super creepy.

Kind of, yeah. Though 'orgasm' is a strong word for the feeling.

I'm glad she's finally getting bigger roles now, 'cause I wouldn't want non-GG fans to miss out on her awesomeness.
