Never show the monster. Right?

Virtually everything in the reboot was worse than April. And I say this as someone whose hatred of April is without parallel.

Agreed. This episode was relentlessly stupid. The plotline, the performances, the horrible exposition. I was truly shocked when I saw the grade.

Agreed. The Margaret/Tony episodes are the worst. Poor Tony—his mommy doesn’t care about his art. Poor Margaret, um...why am I supposed to feel sorry for her? I can’t even figure it out. The show had to invent Elizabeth’s betrayal of Margaret in order to create some measure of sympathy for a wholly self-centered and…

That makes me a little sad because that episode is so bad...not because of the writing, though. The subject is just too tedious. Margaret is so insufferable. She’s so Edith it hurts.

Thank you. I was so un-charmed by this. It reminds me of my dozens of attempts in my twenties to steer my girlfriends away from dudes like this.

He’s a dude who in his twenties began a letter correspondence with a thirteen year old princess in order to secure a place in the royal family. He knew what he was getting into.

How on earth can you mention Lorelai’s part (which looks great, btw) and not mention the horribleness that is Luke’s floppy hair mess. I always suspected Scott Patterson had recently gotten hair plugs and couldn’t cut it. It takes four points off his attractiveness level.

I finished my Ph.D this semester after walking away from the program for three years. Very Very Stoked! Congrats on your achievement!

It never ceases to amaze me how many dickbags are on this site—many of them taken out of the greys. As a grey myself, it’s very demoralizing.

Sometimes I’m very disgusting and just add a packet of Swiss Miss to my coffee. It’s fucking great.

When I watch the series now, I don’t get mad at Rory. I get mad at ASP and DP for failing to have much a vision beyond fast-talking, pop culture references. They don’t appear to know much about anything and it makes the characters read wonky. It’s almost like over time their misanthropy can’t be disguised by the…

There is actually one fat joke: 6.05 We’ve Got Magic To Do (written by DP).

With you. Cash isn’t a gift, it’s charity.

Yup. Even with insurance our little bundle of joy cost twenty thousand dollars and daycare costs seven hundred a month. A second one, no matter how lovely, is completely fucking out of the question.

Given how enraptured kids today are in their mobile devices and “personal growth”, my retirement plan is suicide.

I never planned to get married for precisely this reason. I just happened to stumble across a man who self-identifies as a “mother hen”. He really enjoys being genuinely helpful. I had no idea they existed.

They’re drunk on their evangelical bullshit.

Liberation theology is a big deal.

Because WASPs think Catholics are not Christians and they keep them away from the party. Also, works over faith is still a big thing among Catholics. Whatever it is, Catholics are more likely to identify as Dem. or Ind. over Repub. http://www.people-press.org/2015/04/07/a-deep-dive-into-party-affiliation/
