Jess needs to stop winning me over. I refuse to give up my dislike of him, final season and these episodes be damned.

But it makes sense. She somehow got off track from the end of the regular series, so falling back into the rut with Logan is easy. The joke about Rory is how amazing people thought she was but she never actually had to deliver on that promise. She peaked her first year in college, then lost her way and let the people…

I appreciate that these episodes felt like they fit in with the rest of the show; even the facts that initially fell flat for me (like Paris's job) make a weird sense (it blended her law and medicine, and she was fearsome at it). Emily's story was great, Lorelai's story was good, Rory's story was realistic if the…

But shouldn't Rory be the weakest link? Emily comes into her own in her sixties, Lorelai finally opens her heart to Luke in her late forties, so why should Rory have herself figured out in her early thirties?

I thought the asking for money was part of the full-circle aspect of the show. It keeps Emily in their lives under the false pretense of duty (but at this point Lorelai and Emily are in a much better place), it respects Richard's need to take care of Lorelai (but instead of trying to change Luke, it's Lorelai taking…

I'm also not sure if it's Paris's neurosis saying they like the Nanny better; when her kids showed up they fell right into her arms. She may just be feeling shades of her childhood mixed with the working moms' dilemma.

There may have been jealousy involved, but the captain coming along on official business and mugging in front of the cameras like a reality star was "unbecoming." He was fortunate that public opinion went in favor of their relationship, but it could have easily gone the other way. QE was a wishy-washy mess about it…

According to Wikipedia, he "writes for glossy magazines" but I have no clue how that pays for everything. There's no way he got a $500K advance as a first-time writer but TV Land so…???

Comment space! Comment space!

Ugh I hope they still split the POVs. If not I'm not sure the show is worth it (I'm not sure it'll be worth it with the POV switches).

We've seen in the past that only in Noah's mind is he irresistible to women. Other POVs are less impressed with him.

True Blood was OK the first season, maybe part of the second one. Then it really veered from the books and turned to terrible soft core porn. Not that sticking with the books would've helped because they veered into lameness as well.

Ricky was the best character, if only because he was the only character who wasn't self-absorbed. And, because he was awesome and loyal and sweet.

Isn't the actress who played Rayanne now a Baroness or Countess or something?

Not learning anything seemed honest to me. I personally do some $hit over and over and find it hard to change. My parents are rabidly afraid of change. And Lindsay may have left Paul but she still has the money and her friends and family to catch her. And when that was still too overwhelming she lured Paul back. Do…

After the first divorce, definitely. Prior to the divorce, probably.

I can't buy that he's the bigger victim in this. When she stabbed him, he could've left and ended their relationship. When she wanted an open relationship, he could've ended it. Heck, even when she got pregnant he could've kept his distance from her and done the co-parenting thing. He could've hired a nurse to…

I think it's potentially more self-absorbed than that. He's objectively successful with a home in Silver Lake and a BMW; he just abhors that it's money from writing magazine articles (at least I think that's what was said from season one?). He's pretentious enough to think writing a novel would be "successful" but…

I think you're right that they're telegraphing a break-up. But I couldn't see the idea of a writing team working. For Edgar to even offer it would be incredibly patronizing.

I could see her feeling a subconscious resentment that he's got all this money and he isn't really trying to do anything with his life. Her job seems frivolous but we've seen that she's pretty good at it. Jimmy can't even finish the book he's been working on since the start of the show.
