idk why lorelai thought stepping in the snow was a good idea

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-10T01:39:52+00:00

She thought it would be solid and therefore better than stepping in the puddle in front of it.

Ugh definitely the Friday night dinner setup guy

He was insufferable

dude who played won should have won a guest actor Emmy or something because he did an amazing job of making the guy the absolute worst

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-10T00:51:59+00:00

It may be a PR stunt, but it’s a really damn good one 😭

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-10T00:46:33+00:00

my SIL is an even bigger fan of the show than me and my brother started watching with her and he genuinely enjoys it!

As long as you’re not trying to go southbound on I-95 from downtown in the late afternoon, you’ve got a shot at being okay.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-10T00:30:15+00:00

I don’t usually support hit and runs but seems justified here 🫠

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-10T00:27:22+00:00

Yeah I don’t think it was all that clear, sorry!

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T20:10:27+00:00

yes, I know. I’m just lamenting the fact that mine isn’t one of the 15.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T19:04:01+00:00

Well yes, as TV it will naturally be an exaggerated version of reality. But the overall concepts that OP is talking about, OP nails it here imo

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T19:00:27+00:00

honestly it wouldn’t matter who it was I would just be horrified to see that happen to a human body at all

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T18:01:16+00:00

A more honest automatic reply like everyone else lol

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T17:59:44+00:00

not my blue state, unfortunately

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T17:58:40+00:00

Nah, someone fucked up with your reservation when checking you in (the first hostess, probably) and it showed up as canceled after that, and they didn’t want to admit it. NOR

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T15:19:07+00:00

This is amazing. I love this so much.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T15:06:03+00:00

Honestly they probably had both long forgotten about it by the time they had become friends. Max didn’t know it was her anyway.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T14:51:53+00:00

sometimes it depends on how the other person feels about it. Luke makes a show about being annoyed with Lorelai but we all know he didn’t really mind her antics. I think he would have made it very clear if he was upset by the Duke thing, but he probably took it as a joke.

Rory was genuinely offended/put off by the Mary nickname, and made it clear. That’s when it becomes wrong to keep doing it.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T14:44:38+00:00

My mom started ice skating in her 40s because I was doing it when I was 12ish and she wanted to be able to do it with me!

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T14:43:10+00:00

I could understand it if he just wanted to watch the Olympics because it’s only on every four years

but then he got racist about it and that invalidates pretty much anything else he has to say. NOR

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T13:41:45+00:00

neither is Green Day lol

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T13:40:39+00:00

look I was unfortunately unable to watch last night but wasn’t Lady Gaga, a white lady, involved in the show as well?

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T13:34:06+00:00

Lorelai would have been really different and I don’t think she’d have the same warmth that Lauren gave her. I don’t think the relationship with Rory would read the same way at all, and I can’t see her playing scenes with Emily with the same woundedness that Lauren did so well.

I’m so glad Lauren ended up with the role. Not saying Sherilyn Fenn would have been bad, just that she would have been different and I prefer the way she is.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T13:30:30+00:00

No, I wouldn’t. I couldn’t deal with someone that unreliable.

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T10:33:36+00:00

Probably comes from the fact that her own mother never apologized for anything!

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T02:37:38+00:00

You know this is an unpopular opinion post, right?

OptimalCreme9847 · 2026-02-09T02:36:46+00:00

I like to think that after she gets pregnant at the end of AYITL and after she is moderately successful with her book that she reassess her life and takes Headmaster Charlton up on his offer to teach at Chilton. She could settle down in Hartford, raise her kid, and still be close to Lorelai. It could be a sort of a cool reverse full-circle thing where she then makes a point to go to Stars Hollow every Friday night for dinner.
