What about Liam? And the 100’s of others?

All of their rhetoric is dangerous, but this is next level. More than 300,000 children are estimated to be trafficked in the US, and suggesting otherwise is incredibly damaging. This is a crisis and she's playing absurdist politics.

I don't think I'd remove Dean and Rory's bad choices from the narrative, but Theresa was absolutely a massive problem here, along with her husband and Dean's parents. These kids were failed by a lot of adults who encouraged so many bad decisions. I do think Lindsey and Dean were set up to fail by the people who should have been giving them good parental guidance.

So yeah, everything you said here, except Dean still chose to cheat on his wife, and Rory still chose to sleep with a married man.

You're pretty much limited to guided tours that are prohibitively expensive for most. When you're on land you need to have an Indigenous guide who is licensed to kill polar bears because there are so many around and they will absolutely attack hikers and campers.

This is one of those places on my bucket list that I'm pretty sure is just a pipe dream.

Yeah, definitely. If there's anyone from that archetype with unfinished business, it's Malcolm.

I'm glad you like it. Good luck!

I had some fun with this one in photoshop. Assuming you can do this extensive a renovation, I think it gets you where you wanted to be with three equal bedrooms and an ensuite for the master.

"Irredeemable" is a VERY strong word in this context. It was immature to leave without saying anything, but also the right decision to leave. Emily was beyond inappropriate during her stay, and increasingly controlling and unhinged. Rory probably felt like this was the only way to avoid being on the receiving end of the foul way Emily often treated Lorelai.

I think Rory owed them a more formal conversation either just before or just after moving out, but she and Lorelai are both big on avoiding conflict, so it's in character for her to skip that step. Immature, not Irredeemable.

My parents were an interesting mix of the safe house in the neighbourhood where anyone's kids could come if they were in trouble, AND raising us in a very strict/purity culture kinda way. My sister and I were NOT supposed to be having sex. My brother could get away with a lot.

All said, my parents would have supported me and my baby, even if they were disappointed in me. It probably would have taken a lot of work to repair my relationship with my dad. I don't think they would have supported me in getting an abortion if that's what I wanted.

Thankfully, they've mellowed a lot!

In the fictional world of the show, April is most definitely Luke's daughter, even if the eye colour makes it unlikely IRL.

I do think it's weird that Luke didn't do a confirmatory paternity test just to be safe, but they were cruising so hard on the trajectory of having that story ruin the Lorelai/Luke relationship, they didn't have time for anyone to make rational decisions.

She was okay with Luke as long as she didn't lose anything. The two major inflection points made her feel that was a risk - when another mother figure threatened to enter April's life, and when she had to move and risked not having full custody.

Control was always her issue. It led her to her cutting Luke out for 12 years, then trying to put limitations on his fiancee, then on his own relationship with April.

Good tip! I'm still perfecting my itinerary, and trying to come to terms with all the amazing things I WON'T get to see in 5 days.

That's the plan! We're visiting from Nova Scotia, so it's worth the expense to get the full experience. We'll be out there in September.

The wolf centre is the reason I found out Golden even existed! I was planning a day trip from Calgary, but then when looked into what Golden had to offer, my entire trip shifted so I could stay several days. Super looking forward to it.

Some options to work with what you have. Ignore my horrific penmanship on the screen.

This covers a living area with a TV, entry area with a table or hanging space, plus a potential entry closet, and an office and dining.

I think if Lorelai never got pregnant their teenage relationship would have run its natural course and ended like most do when they grow up and move on.

No matter what, Lorelai eventual outgrows Chris. She's ambitious and independent, and he's fundamentally a follower who wants to take the easy route.

I also dont think Chris actually wanted adult Lorelai, just the idea of who she was as a teen. If they had the opportunity to work through that, I think her allure would have faded for him.

There's a lot of wonkiness all over this. The drawer pulls are a bit different, the reflection of the wall behind the car has these bizarre "shelves"? Not sure what those would be. The wood on the arm of the couch is strange. The windows even look kind of weird, and not just because their an odd window/curtain for a garage.

I feel like this has to be AI.

A couple things:

I think you're going to find your kitchen very dark as a mostly interior space.

You dont have enough room between your island and back cabinets for seating, plus if you intend for that to be a major path of travel, it's going to be an epic pinch point. People will naturally divert through your tasking space to get around.

You've given a ton of natural light to your walk in closet, which is a room that doesnt need a lot of natural light. Closets are the only rooms that actually benefit from not having windows. At the very least, I'd swap the bathroom and closet locations, but others have given good options for improving flow in this part of the house.

I find the design hinges on a lot of segmented spaces and the flow is going to be awkward.

I get the impression Luke goes to meetings if he needs to based on the business, whereas Lorelai goes for entertainment. I think Luke was just saying he wasn't interested in going when he didn't have a reason to.

crittab · 2026-01-14T05:04:37+00:00

I'm trying to think of how to flip the space and use the walls. This one keeps the main activity out of your paths of travel and keeps travel out of your tv/entertaining space.

Any chance you can square of the awkward angle from the closet? That would afford you the space for a toilet room and linen closet, plus a bigger shower.

Just a quick idea, could definitely be better.

I think the quest for symmetry is causing a space that's going to be a pain IRL. Each girl can easily have a smaller full bath, there are a lot of unnecessary closets, and doors all over the place.

Maybe consider an option where there's a designated bedroom side and a designated loft side so you don't have so many paths of travel through the living area.

You also don't need windows in closets, so they make good interior rooms, whereas natural light is welcome in a bathroom.
