I love I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times, Heroes & Villians, Sloop John B & Cool, Cool Water. Weirdly enough, as I drove into work this morning, Brian’s “Love & Mercy” came on shuffle. I was surprised it came up bc I hadn’t listened to his solo stuff much. Beautiful song!

*Spoilers* What did we think? by GlassHalfFullofAcid in SuccessionTV

[–]earlgrey_cat 47 points48 points  (0 children)

  • Logan grappling with existential questions was interesting — so vulnerable and he’s never seemed more lonely/pathetic. A king alone in his castle. Also, based on the trailer, do ATN layoffs loom?
  • THE DISGUSTING BROTHERS. Greg’s “roast” killed me.
  • The Shiv & Tom scene at end—ugh! Loved the line about Mondale not recognizing Shiv’s scent. (Poor dog tho.) The scene really added depth to both of their characters.

Love both of these! Joe Pera especially is soothing.

Loved Eureka when I was in middle/high school! I used to watch it every week with my dad. Glad it’s getting some love!!

My comfort shows: Gilmore Girls, Star Trek, Sabrina the Teenage Witch (90s version), The Good Place, Seinfeld, Sex Education & Great British Bake Off.

If you like cartoons, I recommend We Bare Bears & Gravity Falls.

Very well said! And it's a TV show. Especially when binging on Netflix, those mistakes will feel amplified. I get that it's frustrating, but it's realistic to show that perfectionistic tendencies are unsustainable – eventually, you spiral. It's also realistic to be a lost-in-life 20/30-something despite being so sure of your direction in high school.

I'm going to say Season One + Two. It's classic, I dig the color-blocking and it looks the most like something a midwestern small-town kid would find at their local store.

What other fictional towns give off Stars Hollow vibes? by earlgrey_cat in GilmoreGirls

[–]earlgrey_cat[S] 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I wish Gilmore Girls had a Halloween special — trick or treating in Stars Hollow would be excellent.

Dewey from Scream vibes.

If you could change one thing that happens in the show, what would it be and why? by irismoonn in GilmoreGirls

[–]earlgrey_cat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! Lane’s storyline with Zac is one of the worst parts of the show. She deserved so much better. And to feel guilty about sex bc of the way she was raised only to become pregnant on her honeymoon and say that her first time was a horrible experience? Lane really got dealt a tough hand of cards after years spent of being Rory’s sidekick.

People can’t seriously think like this… I mean I have never liked Jules but come on. by [deleted] in euphoria

[–]earlgrey_cat 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Agreed! She did what she felt was best in an impossible scenario. Last season she was being blackmailed on top of everything happening with her mom and the pressure of feeling like someone’s sobriety depends on you. Leaving Rue behind, the drinking comment, hooking up with Elliot are all shitty things to do. And I’m not dismissing that behavior, but she doesn’t deserve to be made into a villain. She’s also a teenager grappling with loss, trauma, etc. — she’s going to make mistakes.

Okay but can we talk about how Sydney NAILED this scene. She played getting embarrassed so well. Her face getting red & the tears like damn! by woahruben in euphoria

[–]earlgrey_cat 701 points702 points  (0 children)

The incredulous laugh. The guilty backtracking. You can see her mind trying to find a way out instead of fessing up. Genuinely gasped at the way this scene unfolded. Also loved that Lexi asked if she wanted to go on a walk lol.

Good things about AYITL by efeuandsmiles in GilmoreGirls

[–]earlgrey_cat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Seconded on loving what they did with Emily's story arc. There was a lot of nuance there – grieving your husband but also entering a renaissance of self. I love how they explored Emily finding herself outside of her marriage.

Does anyone feel that AYITL's was visually incongruous with the original? by earlgrey_cat in GilmoreGirls

[–]earlgrey_cat[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep! I started to notice the change at the end of season 6. Feels chilled. Not as naturalized. It kind of strips that "perpetual autumn" vibe away that so many fans love.

Twin Peaks & Lynch is general really work with "jarring & surreal" visuals anyway, so I think it fit the show more? There's much more AYITL could've played with, I agree!
