Grrrr...the Life and Death Brigade sequence in the last episode of “A Year in the Life” that you mentioned is my least favorite thing ever on Gilmore Girls. Not funny. Not as clever as ASP thinks it is. And a big waste of time and money while I’m literally yelling at the TV “We have 75 minutes left and still haven’t…

April is actually a decent character and Vanessa plays her well. April’s just the worst plot device.

Love the idea of a Hep Alien spin off (would also have appreciated a Jess-in-Philly spin off ; seems way more promising than whatever the Venice pilot was going to be).

According to Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter, it seems like the deficit was real, and that her parents tried school after school to teach her the basics. She really loved her family, and it was painful for her to be separated from them.

Well because her family was so secretive, it’s hard to say just exactly what was the matter with her, but the biography I read makes a pretty good case that she WAS developmentally disabled. She had poor control, being unable to play sports like the rest of the kids, and her handwriting never evolved beyond a grade…

Only if Elisabeth goes full...you know.

Obviously this is going for Oscar bait but something tells me this is going to be a disaster.

Easier to just do a take that way. It’s all digital now so you aren’t wasting film stock and Grandpa George can feel included. Plus properly reined in Lucas can be an entertaining film maker. The main problem with the prequels was there was nobody around with the power to rein him in.

Star Wars represents a good deal of his life’s work. In the end it might not be about money, but your legacy, and while Star Wars was a commercial product years ago it may be a little sad to see the world you built become about as meaningful as a sequel to a comic book movie.

The man played 3 roles more than once:

um... you should re-watch Empire Strikes Back (where Han “pursues” Leia)... he is leaving her behind at the beginning of the movie. He asks her to express her feelings for him, she denies them, he then walks away. He wasn’t pushy, he was direct with her. Then when she denies, he acts like it doesn’t matter. THAT is…

Come on people! We know what he said.

I mean, Peter may not be donning the suit anymore, but I’ve heard he and Joonas Suotamo get along pretty well.

more like the key to Han Solo is to never take no as an answer.

yeah as someone from eastern MA, I found this an incredibly weird choice. It’s like they thought that Martha’s Vineyard was super exotic sounding and nobody would think about where it was located? idk.

(though they’re consistently not very consistent about the weather and dressing for it- like their winters are so…

Ha! Good point.

I’d expect anyone to want to take time to get a feel for their ridiculously powerful boss before feeling comfortable enough to jump into conversations without invitation. He could just as easily been the kind of boss who doesn’t want to hear from low-level peons.

As a Bostonian who grew up without money, this episode drives me mad. Because even without money, I still had lobster. I don’t believe for one minute that Luke, A DINER OWNER IN NEW ENGLAND doesn’t have a humble lobster roll on his menu and that he’s never had lobster. It’s so ridiculous. Luke is so absolutely…

So wait, did they really expect people to believe they’d be sitting outdoors on Martha’s Vineyard in February?

Just an example of what it’s like there most of the winter:

Having grown up in New England I am always perplexed by how foreign the beach is to them in this and all episodes. They’re in CT there are plenty of beaches that are fairly easy to get to, this isn’t some landlocked state. The lobster thing I extra scoffed at because it’s so ubiquitous and relatively cheap in New…
