I work at a movie theater.  I would never do that.

No, you can not.  Unless movie studios are mailing checks because movie theaters don't.

That would mean that, should Emily and Richard have ever visited by themselves, Bop It would have been used.  The very idea of Richard and Emily playing Bop It is wonderful.

I was responding to David Sims thinking Trix and Marilyn being the most ridiculous.I can't believe I didn't think of Kirk because he's obviously the number one.  I guess his omnipresence normalizes him somehow.

I thought a good mirror relationship was Emily/Lorelai and Mrs. Kim/Lane.  Both involve an overbearing, domineering mother with a, by comparison, free spirited, rebellious daughter.  I think it sort of shows Lorelai that it could have been much worse.

She started wallowing on a Saturday night right?  I worked at a pizza place in high school and I think we closed at 12:00 (I think) in a city not much larger than Stars Hollow.  So, it's definitely plausible.

One of the things I find interesting is how Gilmore Girls has so many mirror relationships that never get commented on (within the show's universe).  Trix and Emily basically have the same relationship as Emily and Lorelai.  The perfect example is Emily complaining about Trix's gifts when she would do the exact same…

Old Habits:  Die Hard

You're right.  Max and Christopher can't be compared easily but it's the best comparison the show presents us.

I'll agree that Christopher was only around when convenient but I wouldn't entirely blame being a friend over a parent on him. Look at how Lorelai handled Max wanting to parent Rory: Lorelai will do it, not Max. Lorelai wasn't going to let anyone except Lorelai be Rory's parent.

Yeah, I'm not talking about late series Christopher being unlikeable because most of the cast was at that point.

Maybe I'm forgetting his worst moments or under appreciating what others see as his worst. To me, the hardest he hurt them was leaving Lorelai because Sherry was pregnant. For me, I 100% get that. Most of the other things are seemingly ignoring either Lorelai or Rory ay the behest of the other.

I may be alone on this but I never saw Christopher as a polarizing figure in the world of Gilmore Girls (especially when one considers how polarizing every one of Rory our Lorelai's boyfriends are). He definitely had moments where I don't care for him at the moment but he always has, on some level, a reasonable…

The closest thing I can think of is the time they redid a confusing intersection (they put in a roundabout) and people were angry about it for a long time. Guys sat around the barbershop discussing it at least a month later.

In my hometown, there is a grown man who, nearly every weekend from spring to fall, rides his bicycle backward in the parking lot at one of the busiest intersections in town. Sometimes he is waving a baton while he does it. He has been doing it for maybe ten years.

Lorelai mentions The Bangles as her favorite band in an earlier episode. I've always wondered if The Bangles appearance here had already been decided on and influenced that reference our if that was providence. It makes sense that Lorelai would love them based on her age, but I could see AS-P working that in just…

Thank God you mentioned that no 20 year old guys would be that close in a 2001 Bangles concert. That always bothered me. Sure, 15 years earlier that would have happened.

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

The part about no children reminds me that I have always wondered about the size of Stars Hollow's population. It's definitely written as a very small town but they do support what appears to be a decent sized school.
