Dating with the Gilmore Girls

218 Omelet's and Business

218 Omelets and Business  We start with our dinner witgh a fine omelet; that Loreali might request some modifications on. We then move to talking about about the issues of Richard and not having not have anything to do. Then we move on to Rory and her treatment of Dean which we question if Rory showing disrespect for Dean, and how he should be able to meet her in Luke’s diner as based on previous episode we now its between route from his house to Stars Hollow High. It should be Dean and Rory’s relationship will be a continuous subject. We move to the main point of the episode: the Chilton econ class main project. We discuss the reasons apparently no ones parent can act as an advisor and note how Louise’s father is apparently in court and  we speculate if he was caught up in the accounting scandals of the early 2000s. In related matters speculate on Brads denomination of Judaism and how Paris could attack him for that.  Our conversation then moves to questioning whether Michel is from Quebec or France based on talk of his mother “coming down”. We look at Richard having to be talked by Emily into helping Rory. Then we have a digression where we question whether aptitude tests are good for anything. Simon thinks they’re not completely useless. Abby says they are useless. Abby also insists she is not Napoleon. We talk about the product ideas they went with the project agree a first aid kit would sell.  We talk about when Dean goes too far involving trying to keep relationship with Rory working and how Lorelai talks him down.  We discuss Michel’s very crazy diet tendencies.  We debate whether a product should work in a class project to be given best prize. We note how Richard gets very offended with Headmaster Charelston. We end with noting how at the Friday night diner a whole bunch of eventual events on the show are foreshadowed .

217 Fake Troubadors and Uncle Louis

We start by explaining answering machines to any possible zoomers who would for some reason listen. Then we talk about this how this episode is interesting as it is just almost entirely a Luke episode, not a Lorelai or especially a Rory storyline. We follow this by a extensive debate on how many times you must taste something to determine if it is acceptable. It is obviously two, not three. We begin a discussion on what amenities should be at a wedding and what is too much. This will be a discussion throughout our review of the episode. Simon and Abby have a small back and forth about Michel and Luke’s knowledge of each other. We have a a spirited discourse of the quirks of Luke’s from Quarter-Caf to using 7 sweeteners in your coffee and having a twenty foot cord on your phone. We talk about Taylor's conflict with Long Haired Freak/Lady Godiva./ Van Halen Hair and whether the many named character had in fact not had a Cart/Kiosk permit. Speaking of weddings we discuss the costs of the table settings that are being used for a demonstration vs our own Wedding’s entire cost. We talk about what are acceptable reasons to give for skipping a funeral. We have a talk about why no one will go to Uncle Louis’s funeral and how Luke is not a curmudgeon. We have a rather extensive discussion of the dynamics of fitting stuff into a casket, having a funeral and how one keeps a casket closed. We discuss what Emily’s intent for a possible Lorelai wedding and whether Emily’s vision actually is a reflection of Lorelai. Abby brings up her theory that Lorelai threatened the reenctors in taking part in Louis’s funeral. Long episode. But very enjoyable.

No Bagels or Food

We had to redo this so we are missing our bagels and our in this episode, a short on admittedly we don't have much to go on. We discuss the actress Madchen Amick, the actress playing Christopher's new love interest Sherry, whether she looks like Elle McPherson and whether her character Sherry is weird.  Whether Chris was concealing that Sherry was with him in Hartford. We talk about if Emily was acting crazy about Rory hanging out with Sherry. And we have a very important small detour to talk about Kirk's likley being a triplet.

Four Stories and a Big Pretzel

In this episode we start off  with what will be an issue throughout this commentary, we get way off topic repeatedly. We start with what we will throughout this episode talk about, the Dean, Rory, Jess shipping fight. Then we move to Miss Patty playing unwanted matchmaker for Lorelai, and we have a short discussion on you should and shouldn’t put your dating profiel. This is where Simon totally doesn’t admit to seeing the original Star War trilogy 60-70 times. We talk about how neither of us have ever done the Jackson trying to get Suki to move in indrectly conversation. We discuss if Rory should have gone on a date with Jess a he paid 90 dollars for her and her basket as the basket is assumed to come with a date. And then we segway and debate how he made that money in less then 6 months at Luke’s. Then we discuss how the show had been dumbing down Dean. We have a conversation about what disgusting items are in Rory’s basket that Jess ends up eating.. We have a offopic chat about when Caesar became a full character (not this episode). Then Simon has very on topic point that Kirk could totally have a twin or be part of triplets and therefore there be two other men who look exactly like him who we totally saw on the show in the early episodes were not him. We look att how the Suki and Jackson story line resolves itself. We have a extended discussion on our theories about the Kim family’s dynamics and where Mr. Kim is. And then discuss we discuss the departing character Henry Cho, what sports he plays, what his families form of Christianity is, and how his family might know the Kim’s in passing. Finally end the episode examining how Emily comments to Lorelai about Jess also show why Lorelai and her parents have such a bad relationship. Also our food was an amazing Pretzel with Goat Cheese

Really Authentic Chinese Food

In this episode we start by complimenting our very authentic Chinese food (As authentic as Al’s Pancake World) , we talk about why you never ask a women how many coffees she has had in a day. Both of us talk aobut our fan theory for why Paris and Rory have been having a better relationship so far despite the how not showing a softening of the animosity that we saw in the last season due to their shared desire to ensure The Franklin is a excellent student run paper. We explain to any zoomers listening what a video store is. Simon decides to spend a minute talking about Director Paul Verhoven. We spend the majority of the episode discussing Richard’s less then admirable conduct after effectively being forced to spend a day in Star’s Hollow so that he doesn’t annoy Emily. From his comments on her breakfast (which we think leads to Luke stocking grapefruit in future episode) to her conduct at work, and how much food she orders from Al’s Pancake World, as well as his attempt to get Dean’s car he built for Rory declared unsafe. We discuss why The Franklin doing an article on small town censorship would have actually been a award winner in the early to mid 2000s. We have a little side discussion asking what bands did Richard mean when he referred to Rory not having Death Rockers as posters on her walls. We discuss about the Harvard Yale fight, Simon slightly defending Richard’s point but not his way at making it. We end discussing how we both thought this episode would have had a much darker ending when we originally saw this involving Richard.
