*liked for including the typo.

My boyfriend and I are only half way through season 6 but so far, we are always charmed by Logan, and often look at each other and go "what a good boyfriend!" With the exception of the Jess episode, he's been exceedingly reasonable. It be nice if he were a little more ambitious, and a little less entitled, but there…

Yeah, I'm pretty sure when he does his Koyaanisqatsi dancs in season 6, Patty refers to him as if he's a returning pupil - someone who she had taught as a child.

Is it weird that I kind of just expect my kid to be somewhat sexually active at the age of 16? But I also expect them to be smart and responsible about it. I'd rather focus my energy on teaching them to be safe and cautious than to worry about their chastity. Abstinence my be the most effective form of birth control,…

I don't know, I always felt the scene where she covered for Rory with Dean (pretending to have a crush on Jess) was the moment that solidified their friendship, even if it hit some rocky paches along the way.

I think the sex between Ray and Shoshanna in this episode was the saddest yet.

"She didn't wantRory to know them well and realise that maybe they weren't always quite so bad as she (Lorelai) made them out to be."
And although Lorelai is definitely inclined to exaggerate, it's also a pretty common dynamic for grandparents to be leniant and affable with their grandchildren, in a way they never…

Can I just say, the worst thing that this show did was dispose of every boyfriend character in a way that makes you dislike them. They all start out cute and charming, and full of depth, and then when the plot needs them to be gone they are written entirely differently. Max's sudden squareness as the wedding…

@avclub-5fd14fc7a83b79e976652d8c4abecc78:disqus yeah that's who I meant (Brian was the nerdy guy in Lane's band). He really just seemed like a token boy at times (remember in that episode where they had to invent and promote a product - first aid kits - and the group was Madeline, Louise, Paris, Rory, and some blank…

So yeah, as I've mentioned elsewhere in these comment sections, I'm currently pregnant (5 1/2 months). And though I know it's probably not a good idea to base ones dreams and aspirations on the dynamics in a fictional universe, Gilmore Girls has been part of my nightly ritual of preparation for motherhood (along with…

I'm just now catching up with the college years (I'm about to finish season 5). I've watched the first three seasons straight through a dozen times in syndication, but for whatever reason never see more than a few episodes here or there after that. But I'm finding now, perhaps because they're fresh to me, that they're…

I found it most absurd at Chilton, especially when it came to the fact that there were practically no boys working on the paper or for student council, yet Madeline and Louise were always hanging around taking up space.I mean I know girls tend to be overacheivers in school, but I find it hard to believe there wasn't…

I swear if it weren't for the "la la las" this show would have double the fans.

Meanwhile, I'm 29 and I somehow missed the whole Norah Jones craze (it was 2003, I was probably downloading IDM and post-rock, and oblivious to mainstream radio). I had no idea what she was singing. I'm more likely to recognize top forty music from when I was 12 too (i.e. Lisa Loeb playing in "It's a Shame About Ray")…

I know this is a joke, but as a pregnant lady, I feel compelled to point out that one of the first things we are told is to stay away from kitty poop. It's pregnant lady kryptonite.

There was that little montage of paintings of the house from different angles all over the house, which I think illustrates this pretty clearly. Either the father or his wife wanted to live out in the country to be inspired in their art, but ultimately they can't find any more diversity of beauty in the country than…

I did like what Todd said about growing up and realizing your parents were flawed and human and in the same situation (roughly) as you are, but that doesn't make familial relationships necessarily any easier. At the age of 18 I was already relegated to being an emotional crutch for my mother, shouldering her…

Strangely the people who seem to be most critical of Hannah's narcissism and lack of empathy seem to be the people least able to look beyond their own experience and empathize with a character who is different than them…

I'm struggling through the conversation about Lena Dunhan's potential exhibitionism, and while I don't have time to read every comment right now, I feel compelled to weigh in.

@g2 I actually tend to see the opposite (bigger woman, fitter guy), especially since, you know, having kids can take a toll on a womans body, where as the man often hits his prime as he hits middle age.
Even with younger couples women tend to struggle with weight a bit more since we generally have lower metabolisms,…
