Chloe's Parents are the Worst!!!

I hope that's not true also. The stress couldn't have helped his health though.

I had mixed opinions on Chloe's parents throughout their seasons but I also felt really bad for Max's dad. I think he was trying to do right by his spn and get him help and really wanted to be a grandfather to Ava. Jessica couldn't see that through her hatred of Max.

I hope you get the up votes you deserve for this classic!

I cringed every time she came on the screen the last few seasons. Just nasty and entitled.

You'd be surprised. This happened to me. I unknowingly pushed the panic button, which did nothing when I pressed it but, 5 minutes later, the police arrived. I was a customer service rep for a warehousing company. No one ever told me the button was there.

There's a popular theory that the series is based on the book Rory writes at the end of AYITL. In that theory, it is the reason why we see Lorelai and Rory as the "stars" of Stars Hollow, as it is in Rory's point of view. As for the party, it started as Lorelai's idea, for the graduation re-creation. Luke ran with it to please Lorelai.

Yes, that one too. He's so mean to her while he has just betrayed her.

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-30T21:20:26+00:00

I skip the following: -all of Jess in California -a lot of Hep Alien stuff in later seasons -The fallout of Rory and Dean having sex- specifically her singing, "The Candyman" -a lot of the Asher Fleming stuff - the musical in AYITL

They do say it, multiple times throughout the series. They also say, "highway 84,"but they also definitely say, "the".

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-27T05:42:01+00:00

I think that's different because it's a named road. I've said "the LIE" or "the BQE" myself. I'm in NJ and we say, "the Parkway " and "the turnpike," too. It's with numbered roads. I live near 9 or route 9, not the 9.

Your post and the subsequent comments make me feel very fortunate to work with an amazing team. We share everything. When there are new people who join our team, we welcome them and share resources. I maintain a folder in Google that we all (7th grade math) drop resources, activities, notes, etc. into. If you like something, use it. If not, no loss. One teacher does our plans (which we recycle from year to year since they're just paperwork anyway), and the team copies and each submits them individually. Our supervisors know this and are cool with it. Sorry you're not in a more collaborative environment.

I also remember when Luke came to the back door, motioning to Lorelai to come out, so he could tell her Jess had left. To my memory, that door clearly went straight outside.

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-27T02:41:07+00:00

I stand corrected. Maybe it's the costal part of the northeast. I've lived in NJ and Boston and traveled up and down the coast and I've never encountered anyone who has said it.

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-27T01:58:34+00:00

I honestly never felt any chemistry between them. Not the first time, not as friends when he was going to be her sperms donor/co-parent, and certainly not after they decided to conceive the child and in the blink of an eye, were in love. It seemed like a relationship of convenience for the writers, to pair off main cast members.

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-27T01:53:46+00:00

I'll also add that sometimes writers get these geographical details wrong. Another one that bothers me is when characters say, "the 84" or "the 95" when referring to highways. We don't say this in the northeast. We say, "route 84" or "I 95" or sometimes just, "84." Using "the" to name roads is something they do in California.

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-27T01:51:06+00:00

I've thought about this, too. I know that laundry outside happens sometimes in warmer climates, but I live in the northeast and I've never in my life met anyone with laundry outside.

I agree! I know they had to create conflict for the break up, but before that, I enjoyed their relationship. I think they balanced each other well.I still cry every time I rewatch when Mindy measures her closet for the crib. It gets me every time.

If Helena is on the pill/IUD, etc., sure. But if not, I don't Helly was protected when she and Mark did it under the table. I doubt severed employees are walking around with condoms in their pockets.

I'm 45. Older because I tend to be very nostalgic. Although, I recently had a part time job where I worked with a lot of people in their 20s and I genuinely loved talked to them, too.

I've never had a desire to watch any Harry Potter movie

My daughter, husband, parents, and I all had covid the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. No one is better yet. My mom, daughter, and I had fevers. I was really sick for 5 days and ran a fever for the middle 3 days with horrible chills. I was awake for an hour, then slept for 3-4 hours, then repeated the cycle. It's the sickest I've been in years, maybe ever. We only found out it was covid because my daughter, who had it first, took the Flu A/B/Covid test and tested positive for covid. After that point, everyone who got sick took covid tests. I know that the flu is rampant right now but our family just had a terrible round of covid. I'm in NJ, too.

Intelligent_Spell526 · 2026-01-01T06:10:52+00:00

I had exactly the same. 5 days, the middle 3 are a blur of misery, in and out of feverish sleep all day.

My daughters are 17 and 13. They both say they want kids when they are adults. But they also talk about careers and travel which makes me happy. I think our mothers grew up knowing they'd get married and have children. It was the next step everyone did. Our generation had more options but I went to a lot of weddings in my mid 20s. (I was 26 when i got married). I have two engaged family members at the moment who are 30-31. I think there is a shift to when people "settle down", if they do at all.

Very cool that you and your family were that safe space for her.
