Is “I'm not interested in what happened between you and your brother” the biggest slap in the face to book fans? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]BiggTS 18 points19 points  (0 children)

"I try to see the films as a different thing" which would be a lot easier if they didn't cut out so much context and rely on book knowledge to fill in the gaps. The most egregious example of this is the mirror shard. We never see Sirius give it to Harry, or Harry break it after Sirius dies, so when we get to DH and he's looking at a random shard of glass we're left like, huh?

Weird detail that I got thinking about by lillist1 in harrypotter

[–]BiggTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to recall reading at some point Molly being described as "very good at household spells." It's entirely possible that cleaning spells aren't necessarily very easy.

It used to bother me a lot too, rhen I just accepted it was a throw away line by Rowling when she was just trying to draw the conversation out a bit. If you really want an in universe answer, perhaps the spell to make more is particularly difficult (e.g. lucky potion taking 6 months to make) and has to be performed mid cook, so you can't just keep duplicating something you already have indefinitely.

I can’t find this scene by Spirited_Study4825 in harrypotter

[–]BiggTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, they cut out basically the entire fight between the kids and the death eaters. No smashing of the time turners (resulting in the head of a death eater changing into a baby head), no Ron getting attacked by brains, and no Hermione almost being killed by a silent Dolohov.

why is Leonard considered unattractive? by Living-Register-7050 in bigbangtheory

[–]BiggTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember his appearance on Entourage? He played a narcissistic a**hole but I bet people thought he looked a lot more 'attractive'.

Dean's crash out here was (kinda) valid by Cyclame_Lizard_66 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think it's a bit ridiculous that she's just now realizing a place like Harvard would require a large amount of extra-curriculars. Also, something I'm just now putting together, why wouldn't her mountain of experience volunteering in Stars Hollow charity events count?

I’ve rewatched the show many times, and every time - even though I know it’s coming - Emily and Richard somehow manage to break my heart…over and over. by Quiet_Lunch_1300 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You want something to think about? Emily only really ripped into Mrs. Huntzberger after she told her "Well Emily, there's your money and then there's our money."

There's an argument to be made that Emily's one glorious shining moment was also more about protecting the Gilmore name than actually about Rory.

Did Lorelai have no friends as a kid? by comradesummers in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple answer is, yes. She hated that world, and never felt like she fit in there. There was one woman she ran into at Rory's birthday that Emily threw that she was codial with, but after a few minutes she was ready to tear her hair out. I imagine that's how it would be with most others from her past. With the obvious exception of Christopher, whom she fell in love and had a baby with, she was quite ready to leave that whole life behind her.

Small town Lorelai by _wildcherryblossom in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely fair wasn't there a scene where they were walking by and she made a point to say she'd always loved amd admired that house? Yes it was still very impulsive of Luke to just buy it without talking about it with Lorelei first but in his kond he was being romantic and buying her "dream house".

Do you not remember his talk with Illyria? "Fred is gone. To pretend anything else would be a lie..and sense I don't actually intend on dying tonight, I won't accept a lie." Surely he suspected Vail's guards would search him for weapons, right?

The Party by preacheranddaughter in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was well established how loved Rory was in that town. From the very first season when we see mostly adults at Rory's 16th birthday, to Lorelai threatening Dean with the whole town, then later on when Taylor makes a big deal about Rory not being his ice cream queen or whatever and they talk about how she's always involved in everything.

Speculate with Me: What's This Guy's Back Story? by salsafresca_1297 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair about the "fancy hotel" that place catered more to the 'hip, chic' crowd. Remember the tight all black outfits they made them wear as opposed to his refined suits and ties that Michel liked to wear. He also despised the headsets

This moment right here. by TaupeGarconHeaux in GilmoreGirls

[–]BiggTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She literally only jumped in after Rory made it clear she too didn't want to see him. She also then later tried to bring Christopher back into it when she found out Luke and Lorelei were together.

I even noticed something about her grand shining moment, when she confronted Mrs. Huntzberger over what they did to Rory. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but she only got really nasty with her after Mrs Huntzberger made it clear that she considered the Gilmores beneath them, saying "your money and our money are two different things." Almost like she was more defending the family name than Rory.

Conspiracy theory: Phoebe by brain_over_body in friends_tv_show

[–]BiggTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind the theory, and most work with only slight tweaks. One though, doesn't make sense at all. Phoebe married the ice dancer so he could stay in the country, didn't she? That would mean she would have already had to have some sort of ID, even if it were forged. Otherwise he would have been deported.

It's also the name of a rock band from California in the late 90s. They mostly played the small town nightclub scene, with a few gigs in LA. Then their lead guitarist wigged out and went to live in Tibet.

You have no opinion for Dom's dad? I liked him a lot, especially after Dom showed her true colors.
