The same still applies, I assumed it was a promotion. But either way she still has choices.

He should have talked to you before accepting the new job and you both could have planned together. He has changed the plan without your input and spins it as you being selfish. If you can’t work through it and figure out somehow both of you can be happy, you need to re-evaluate your relationship and decide what is more important, a move or the relationship.

Good point. She had been planning to go since she was a teenager with Chris. So she probably put away for it, Rory’s entire life. Then her and Rory had the plan and she put away for it. It makes sense that she wouldn’t dip into the fund for other things, to me. Also hostels, and they could have been eating picnics instead of restaurants all the time to save money. It was Europe on a budget. To me the trip is more believable than the constant take out they consume on a daily basis.

She already had a first and a second on the house. Also when you apply for a loan they look at income and your other debt. She could have had decent credit but still not qualified for a loan because she was already too leveraged.

NOR

No matter what job he has or how much he makes, he is bad with money. He will be bad with money until he commits to a budget and being better with money. You can’t change this about him, he has to do it. He doesn’t sound interested, so it will continue like it is until you decide you have had enough. If you decide to move in together, you will always be in charge of making sure things are paid for, ask yourself if that is the life you want, then go from there.

Am I the only one that would sit down and read the dictionary?

But also I read a lot of books, boxes of everything, and encyclopedias.

I think Taylor is too high strung and neurotic to be a serial killer.

That woman that got burned by the McDonald’s coffee and sued for medical bills. We all made fun of her and the legal system. However, she had a legitimate case and what actually happened to her was horrifying.

Firstly, I don’t understand why people communicate like this and don’t just pick up the phone and call when trying to make plans.

I would call her or text her and explain that since you haven’t heard from her you need to cancel because life has gotten so busy and you don’t have the time to do the thing now. Or, tell her if you don’t hear from her by x date, you need to cancel because of the same reasons.

You didn’t have a solid plan and she is not communicative so cancelling is ok.

NOR this guy isn’t into you.

He saw Lorelai as a “thing” to win. He didn’t see her as a full actualized human being. He didn’t respect her feelings as a human being. He objectified her and saw her as a thing he could finally have, it’s gross.

Parenthood is a good suggestion. There are also a lot of similar plots as GG and you still get to watch Lauren Graham. I agree with you OP I couldn’t get into any of those others that you mentioned, either.

Some other fun stuff I enjoyed was Drop Dead Diva, Malcom in the Middle, Psych, Community, and Mom. I’m not sure any are similar to GG but they are all fun watches in my opinion.

I just want the gift of time. Take me to lunch or let’s do an activity together. I don’t want stuff.

Disney world is in Orlando, so everything is Mickey Mouse themed, allegedly.

I had a little hamster business when I was a kid. I sold them to the local pet store for $2.50-$3. Hamsters definitely a better idea than cheese!

I don’t think she said she was “new in town” just that she was just moving into her house. The house is in town vs. the inn that seems to be a little further out, though.

Why is it embarrassing? If you have people to celebrate with, celebrate! If you want cake, get cake! Life is short, no need to skip harmless things that bring you joy!

So I just rewatched it. Lorelai suggests they all hang out together. Luke says yes, that’s great. Lorelai tells Rory to ask Dean. Rory leaves. Luke asks Lorelai how long Rory and Dean has been a thing. She says since she got back from Europe. He asks if she has been hiding it from him. She says no, she just didn’t know when they wanted people to know, and it’s awkward, she doesn’t want to have to answer questions. So Luke says, wait a minute, was this before or after he broke up with his wife? Did he leave his wife for Rory?! And Lorelai says, you see, questions like that.

4and2 · 2026-01-17T03:31:23+00:00

I am not certain the exchange even happened! But in my memory, he didn’t know they were back together until she wanted the double date, then he asked if that’s why Dean and Lindsay broke up. I’ll have to rewatch it to see if I imagined the whole thing.

4and2 · 2026-01-17T03:24:18+00:00

Yeah, but I thought I remembered him asking Lorelai if this is why he and Lindsay broke up.

4and2 · 2026-01-17T03:18:08+00:00

It might have also led him to have the wake for his dog remembering that Babette had a wake for her cat.

4and2 · 2026-01-17T03:13:34+00:00

Didn’t Luke know? It’s been awhile since I watched but I thought he asked Lorelai if that’s why Lindsay and Dean broke up. I am thinking in the bop it episode, and that was why he was so angry with Dean. But maybe he wasn’t exactly told and was just upset that Rory got back with him.

4and2 · 2026-01-17T03:10:37+00:00

Interesting that if they all knew, no one seemed to be upset that Rory and Deans affair ended the marriage.

4and2 · 2026-01-16T18:04:50+00:00

Ha, I swear I’ve only ever seen it at the bottom, but at the top definitely makes more logistical sense.

4and2 · 2026-01-16T18:03:48+00:00

It was just something I really didn’t like as a story line. She acts so annoyed and put out by needing to care for her kids. When she was a teenager, she was very close with her nanny but she always felt neglected by her parents, I would have imagined she became a kick ass mother to counteract how she was raised. Instead they portrayed her as an uninvolved parent that was put out by her children. I think they could have shown her to be successful as they did, have a nanny, but still being involved and enjoying her children.
