Yeah, there was some weird smoldering in those looks between them. I really thought DeLuca was going to make a move for a bit there.

I tried to stealthily unfriend someone the other day, and within seconds got a message from them asking what was up. It's slightly less creepy for me to think they had an app alert them and weren't just hawkishly monitoring their friend's list for defectors of their own accord…but either way, holy fuck, just let me go…

My dad as much as admitted the other day that he posts his political garbage for the express purpose of provoking me into a frothing rage. I hate how good it felt to unfollow him.

This was the episode that finally got me actually, tearfully emotional, and it was all Dr K. Watching him rattling about in that sort of lonely haze, talking to the empty chair over breakfast was rough, but then the grave scene came along and whoo, did it wallop me good. I just kept thinking about my dad and how lost…

It's cute that the show tries to insist in earnest that Manny and Luke are actually going to go to college, after not even managing to keep Alex there.

And not just for a few minutes; FOR A WHOLE HOUR!

*shrug* Just what I read.

No; apparently they asked him to come back, and he declined. It made the Tristin scene a bit jarring, but I'll forgive it because it Liza Weil is so amazing when she's in full-on Unhinged Paris mode.

On number 2; I thought the same, although thinking about it now, perhaps Jess was Luke's best man, so didn't need to be on the guest list? I dunno; it seemed odd as presented, but there were a lot of quirky moments like that throughout.

That was incredible. And in those heels! She's a force of nature.

In service of the "full circle" theme, it seems like she works at the antique store, I guess? She was there, even wearing her mother's coat, when Lorelai dropped the papers off. Disappointing for us, and sad for the character as well. :(

Thanks, Myles, for these reviews, but extra thanks for the piece here about the scene between Rory and Christopher. I was admittedly pretty out of it by the 4th episode and didn't make that (probably completely obvious) connection. It does make the ending a bit more palatable, though I still don't love it. Ah well!

I totally concur. A few weeks back I decided to do a series rewatch in anticipation of these new episodes, and I didn't even make it to the worst seasons before I began finding the characters (but especially the Girls) off-putting. It's been a few years since I saw them and all I kept thinking was, "This must be what…

It was way too long, AND there was a lyric in there that was uncomfortably similar to one from Galavant. That was the moment it really lost me.

Shallow complaint here, but I couldn't believe that was the much-obsessed-over interview dress. Rory's inability to land a credible, stable job suddenly made a whole lot of sense.

I can't understand why anyone would want to hang around Meredith at this point, unless they have a death wish. She should hire herself out as an extreme sports venue.

Yeah, I figure Alex will go into the DA's office and it will be "we just received a call, the charges have been dropped" and everyone's happy.

I also did not enjoy the goat's fate.

Mitchell's assertion that interactive theatre is "the worst thing that can happen to a human being out of war time" was the first big laugh I've gotten out of MF this season.

Ya know…in that very first shot of her, when Dr Malpractice was talking to the residents, there was brief a moment when I thought it was Lake Bell, and I was disappointed when I realised it wasn't. The more I think about it, Lake Bell could literally reprise her Children's Hospital character and still be a more…
