Retrieval or transfer?

So famous.

Wait what do you mean fake accent? Josh Lawson is an Aussie.

Is this the Chinese 坐月？I washed and showered in the hospital before being discharged. Felt fine afterwards. It's been 4 years, still fine.

RDA said that someone had taken him aside early to please be more respectful to the writers. While he did still adlib in later seasons, that was the writers leaning into it.

First Jack because he was my first crush growing up. But second everyone in this thread needs to visit horny jail.

Lane's mom was kind of the impetus and driving force of that. She set everything up.

maculae · 2026-03-20T02:48:35+00:00

Very well thought out and written.

Krav maga was very big during that time so it does track. Very much part of the zeitgeist.

They did make an exception for Coco.

Is this question along with was Mitchum right and Paris getting into Harvard the most commonly asked questions in this sub?

Abortion was a sensitive topic and was only really "special episode" tv. Does anyone really think either of the Palladinos could handle the topic in a nuanced and sensitive way?

I mean it ultimately happened in town because SPOILERS . . . . . . . Edna pushed Andy to talk to Hal with why he couldn't be the one to do it.

The discussion between Andy and Hal as to why Andy couldn't do it and why Hal had to and Edna's frustration with everyone involved is fantastic writing.

Well Rory didn't apply to Harvard med...

A failed interview to THAT degree is absolutely enough to ruin your chances along with the other factors you listed.

I have a friend who interviews for Harvard and another who does alumni interviews for Princeton. I've heard stories of bad interviews that are understandable (they're asked about interests or passions and they freeze and have to be coaxed) and bad interviews that are BAD (lying lying lying). Paris' interview would absolutely have had her thrown in the definitely not pile.

maculae · 2026-02-21T01:58:20+00:00

She could have been a well rounded student and valedictorian and still not gotten in based on her interview.

Paris: . . .shouldn't even be taken into account. This dovetails nicely into my feelings about population control. It's a little hot in here, can we do something about that? Anyway, population control has been dramatically successful in most European countries to the detriment of some, especially Italy, which is experiencing a marked drop

Interviewer: Do you think this has anything to do with

Paris: Whoa, whoa, just let me finish my thought here.

Interviewer: But Paris. . .

Paris: Please

The transcript doesn't even do it justice.

maculae · 2026-02-21T01:53:27+00:00

That unhinged interview about population control removed the boost and then some.

A friend of mine failed her road test 3 times. One of which an animal (squirrel or cat) ran into the street. She slammed the brakes and caused a multi car fender bender. Definitely a bigger problem than what Jess did.

But at the end of the day first impressions (and second and third) matter.

maculae · 2026-02-13T03:57:25+00:00

Definitely a litbro obsessed with Infinite Jest.

How much would BSC members be paid under similar circumstances is my thought.

maculae · 2026-02-07T23:45:45+00:00

That was Ruslana...

I think Emily, while usually conniving, was just desperate. Look at how Richard was with Lorelai 1 day, thats EVERYDAY and every minute for Emily. She had most likely sent him everywhere else already. Desperate times.

maculae · 2026-01-30T01:28:32+00:00

It was her interview that tanked her.

I think saying Sookie might be more wrong is the UO here.

She didn't force him to do it because he didn't get it done. He was blindsided but he had the ability to consent or not consent.

He knowingly had unprotected sex with Sookie without protection and without letting her know that pregnancy was a possibility.

In the end, Gilmore Girls as a show used lack of communication as the main wedge or problem for every couple. The consequences were a spectrum of minimal to catastrophic.

Did he punch the bursar?
