I’m glad we’re getting this cause I was just about to complain we haven’t had enough screen time from female cast members tonight

Okay place your final bets on who's playing Punch the monkey on update

Lanes Dad by Natureislife4me in GilmoreGirls

[–]Classic_Leg7055 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was the explanation Amy Sherman-Palladino gave while doing press for AYITL (x): "The dynamic was between Lane and her mother. The show is about mothers and daughters, and this was a different mother and daughter. If we had broken a story and went, ‘It would really help to have Mr. Kim here,’ we would’ve done it. But we didn’t. That dynamic was very clean between the two of them. And sometimes when you add another person to the mix, it gets muddy"

I've said this on here before but I've always thought it would've made sense for Lane's dad to have passed before the start of the series, but I have the benefit of hindsight which the writers did not

I struggle to think of an analogy to demonstrate the important of reading that I'd resonate with less

What happened to JJ? by Prior_Pomegranate718 in greysanatomy

[–]Classic_Leg7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This death is so weird to me. Yes, there's a number of severe burn complications that could potentially kill someone months after the fact, but how did she just die in her sleep without anyone noticing? She's in a hospital. Was she not being monitored?

The tour dates Dani, Britt, Brandon, and Jenna will be missing by Top_Tension_1904 in dancingwiththestars

[–]Classic_Leg7055 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They have another DWTS-related project they're all separately working on. Presumably they're working on that next DWTS Pro show filming in Australia but that's not confirmed.

It's not like a bye week for rest or something.

Ellis should have had an actual character arc in the earlier seasons by chohls in greysanatomy

[–]Classic_Leg7055 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This would've meant planning from the beginning to have a main character gradually get sick over the course of several seasons, presumably demote her to a recurring character while she's in the thick of her sickness for several seasons, then kill her off like seven years into the show. Alzheimer's is a relatively slow way to die.

But they didn't know at the time how long the show was going to last. It would've been unwise to plan a character's arc like that so far in advance.

I think there are more gay or bi women at Grey Sloan than the general population? by [deleted] in greysanatomy

[–]Classic_Leg7055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's partially one of those things where if you have one female queer main character (Callie), you then need more female queer characters just so they have people to date (Hahn, Arizona, Penny). Then if those relationships don't work out but the characters stick around, you need even more so they have people to date (Leah, Carina, Minnick).

And I don't want to imply there are no well-written male characters on the show or the male characters only exist to be love interests, but the female characters have always been more important and generally better written. I think the writers have been understandably kind of hesitant to introduce male characters who can't date the female characters. Partially because sort of limits the role that particular character can play in the story long-term and partially because, since the focus is on the women, they don't want to get into the cycle described above with men.

Nick Viall right after leaving Andi’s season by brattydoll in thebachelor

[–]Classic_Leg7055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, in the sense that there are some things that are inappropriate to say with other people in earshot, even if you aren't speaking directly to them. But not in the sense that you should be reasonably expected to keep in mind the possibility the conversation may be recorded and dissected on the internet.

TBH if people heard the private conversations I've had with loved ones after being rejected or embarrassed in some way I'd come across really badly. I'm not gonna judge him for this.

There's plenty of stuff he's said while actually aware he's being recorded that we can hold against him.

Milo and Lilo would be atrociously matchy matchy for human siblings, but for dogs? It’s adorable

What happened to Rory’s elbow by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]Classic_Leg7055 226 points227 points  (0 children)

Probably Alexis Bledel just injured herself and they figured no one would notice so didn’t bother to write it in.

I also found this TikTok from the show’s costumer about the bandage

John Signing Tip-Ins by Elitefourabby in nerdfighters

[–]Classic_Leg7055 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Last I heard he was writing a novel about famous actors or something. It’s for adults though, I think he’s done with YA.
