I was going to mention the waitress one, too.

I am also on team Dave all way - he might be the best male specimen in the whole show.

Names re-used in Gilmore Girls!
Okay, so this is probably not that interesting, and in no way related to these episodes, but I've noticed in my breastfeeding re-watch marathon that the writers in this show don't exhibit a heck of a lot of variety in their character names.
For example, there are 3 Francines in the…

Canadians certainly have a tendancy towards political complacency, but I would argue we're generally as self-deprecating as your typical American. It's an entirely different scenario to compare art written by an America about the problems with America to an American walking up to a Canadian and criticizing Canada. It…

They say people actually hit the highest levels of satisfaction or happiness around their 50s. They usually have less stressors in their life, their kids are older and can take care of themselves, they're generally more financially stable and less concerned with their jobs. Perhaps I'm an optimist, but I could easily…

I do really like Take this Waltz, but you're right, it's not even close to as brilliant as Before Midnight. 
I've been with my partner for 7 years, so almost as long as Celine and Jesse. We both took this month off work because we're having a baby… but it's now almost 2 weeks late, and we are running out of things to…

"it’s nice to know we’re out of the whole Paris/Rory tension phase."

That's easy to say if you've never had a parent/child relationship like this. I actually really relate to Lorelai's fierce independence in this regard. My mom has never been wealthy, but she has many times insisted on giving me money to help out with something, only to use it unfairly against me as a manipulation…

I actually think season 4 is one of the best seasons for that reason, and I'm not sure why it gets so much hate. Rory's awkward attempts at flirting/dating are some of Alexis Bledel's best work.

Still slowly struggling through Season 7 (3 episodes left i think), and I was so happy to see the return of Jackson's PJs. I believe it was in the episode "Like Riding a Bicycle" or something…

I also think "Dead Uncles" is one of the worst. It was one of the first I watched with my boyfriend, and had to keep saying, "this show is usually better". 
But being a bit of a Jess/Rory shipper, I do love "5:00" for the scene where Jess helps Rory with the sprinkler and then leaves it running again so that Dean can…

@mytly It's certainly not snappy in the way that GG is, but dwells more in the space of awkward teendom. In that way, it's not really a show you'd want to LIVE in, in the same way that GG is.  Lindsay is a truly great character, though, and I think her boy troubles (including her initial attraction to the "bad boy") I…

*Spoilers*

I always found Lorelai to dress slightly too conservative for my taste… her hemlines were always just a tad too long. 
And although it suits her body type, I just can't get behind all the v-neck, wrap style shirts and dresses.

I think it's easier as a critic to focus on the things that aren't working for you, than the things that are. 
I generally don't like to get involved with conversations about the reviewers here, but I do think the best reviewers are the ones that can write as eloquently about what they love about something, than what…

It's also the kind of thing that Freaks and Geeks is being praised for in Todd's t.v. club reviews. 
The great thing about shows like GG and F&G is that they rarely stoop to the usual implausible but dramatic t.v. show tropes, and instead manage to find the simple pleasures and pains in low key realistic scenarios.

I saw The Tin Drum at my local art house cinema. Fairly underwhelmed, but then I'm not much of a fan of magical realism. Perhaps the book has a lot to say about the holocaust or something, but this just felt like it was about an annoying mutant kid.
Also finally finished the new season of Arrested Development. Not…

That was my interpretation of the joke as well, although as a girl, I would never use bar soap to wash my face. Dries out the skin.

Sometimes I wonder how much my extremely liberal attitudes about sexuality stem from watching copious amounts of Friends and Seinfeld in elementary school (I was in 5th grade when this aired, and I was already hooked on Seinfeld. I think I was actually excited for this pilot when it aired).
I kind of always expected…

I still think it's a good look, though I've never been able to pull off the suspenders. Something about my boobs…
