I think Rory's behavior in college made a lot of sense. She always straddled her mother's world and her grandparents' and I can see how she'd really love the world Logan offered but also have a lot of guilt about it. But now? She's a grown-ass woman.

The thing is though, he's not holding her down and pouring wine down her throat. And she's not a dazzled kid anymore. I think Rory actually is getting exactly what she wants: to have whatever she wants when she wants it and exactly on the terms she likes at little to no cost to herself.

Dracula Untold was a tricky one for Universal. It bombed in the US but apparently made gobs and gobs of money abroad. It was originally intended to be the start of the franchise.

Paul to me represented everything I'm disliking about Rory's plot - this sense that everyone has to bend backwards for her and then thank her for the honor.

The difference is that in AD, the Bluthes are clearly in the wrong. Here, I felt like the writers wanted us to love the GGs for constantly forgetting Paul and it just played as pathological self-involvement.

I'm assuming she lives/lived off her trust fund. Which would be nice if she also was a poorly-paid but amazing journalist. Instead, she sounds like a whiny dilettante.

Interesting factoid: According to my grandma, back in the day, nice Catholic wives would get on BC and semihonestly tell their husbands/priests that it was for acne.

Not having women fight in a preindustrial society makes sense. Women determine population. You can kill a lot of men off without dying out as a people. Not so much the women.

It was another "Woe is me, wealth is so HARD," joke that didn't land for me at all.

I was able to reconcile with Lorelei but Rory just left me so annoyed and disgusted. It's a little ridiculous but all I could think was how Richard was so proud of her and excited for her career and how little she'd actually accomplished with all of her advantages.

It's hard for me to judge Rory's plot because I really can't figure out what the writers' goals were. In some ways, she's the perfect picture of a rich girl who has lived a charmed life finally having to face a laughably small amount of reality and is furious about it. But it just leaves me feeling so disappointed in

That's my point. By the standards of it's own time, Gilmore Girls was never "dark" or "risqué" (or sexy or torrid or anything) - it was always charming and warm and silly. The romances were mostly about warmth and affection rather than heat and sexiness.

When did Gilmore Girls ever have a hint of "carnal heat"? It was always a show that was warm rather than hot, I think.

Why not talk about what an awesome grandpa he was? It is true, easy, cute, and works because Rori isn't there. Or say, "Honestly, I'm too sad to talk right now."

It read as utterly unrealistic and/or cruel to me. Maybe if she had really been put on the spot, but she actually had time to switch seats and futz around with that wheelchair. If she has the presence of mind to do that, she can come up with, "My father took my daughter golfing. It was adorable."

The CEO of the lifestyle site, is played by a Brazilian-Mexican-American actress - Julia Goldani Telles.

Plus, Logan's not a complete idiot. Won't the timing of her pregnancy raise some questions in his mind?

Also possibly because it would have overwhelmed our ancient and fragile electrical system.

Can you? If there's no grease, won't it end up either burnt or overcooked because of flipping? Admittedly, I've never tried to make just dry toast in a fry pan.

They do it with a lot of Netflix shows.
