Daily Dose of Television – Gilmore Girls

Last night was a big, big night at the Flamingo House. The Gilmore Girls (and the rest of the Stars Hollow folks) are back! Yea!  Life doesn’t get any bigger or better than that.  It’s been so longgggg!

Last night was also a sad night at the Flamingo House.  Michelle was not home to watch GGs with us.  That. Was. Sad.  Almost too sad to take. 

Tuesday night is moms and me night.  Before Michelle had two moms, it was mom and me night.  And before that, it was mom and sister and me night because Jenn always watched it with us in NJ.  It’s tradition.  Seven years of tradition we’re working on.  And she missed it last night.  HMPH.

Let me do a mini review  to take my mind off of missing Michelle. (Michelle, stop reading if you haven’t watched the tape – anyone else who taped or Tivoed, stop reading)

First monologue of Lauren Graham with Suki.  I didn’t like it.  The whole Luke/Car analogy thing.  Lauren Graham was trying too hard with crap writing. Lorelai can do some great things to an analogy, but that wasn’t hers.   After that… smooth sailing.   

Loved every supporting cast moment – Paris, Suki and Michele, Taylor and Kirk, Miss Patty, Gypsy, even Kirk’s g/f.  I’m falling out of love with Sally Struthers and I’m not sure why.  Babette is boring me.  It’s probably just me.

I loved the Twilight Zone rocket but am apalled that Rory took that long to figure it out.  I’m thrilled with her last scene with Logan on the phone.  Time for Rory to learn a lesson and be a big girl.  Running off to London – WRONG move.  And Lorelai, for suggesting it – bah.  There is such thing as "too much nice mom".

Now, about Luke/Lorelai/Christopher.  Christopher is slimey.  I have never liked him.  Ever. I do not like him now.  That little shudder Lorelai did after getting out of his house – that’s how I feel anytime Christopher is in a scene.  Now the previews indicate Lorelai is going to be 16 again and screw up her life once more, and do it with Christopher.  Tell me it will be Emily who does what she should have done 20 years ago… In the meantime, I am not sure how much Christopher and Lorelai I can take.  I’ll enjoy seeing Luke suffer though – he is going to suffer right?  He’s not gonna fall into bed with April’s mom, right?  He’s been a jerk but he’s smarter than that – smarter than Lorelai in this area.

Yea GGs is back.  Sniffffff I missed watching it with Michelle.
