What’s wrong with Season 7

Posted by Sarakastic on Oct 31, 2006 in Gilmore Girls | 8 comments

Besides the fact that every character is being untrue to what we have known them to be for 6 years. (There wasn’t a new episode tonight, so a rant will have to suffice). The problem with this seasons “Gilmore Girls” is that suddenly the girls are actually doing things. The premise of the show has always been simple: the girls talk about things, really really fast after they happen. This is the show that I have grown to love. The “Gilmore Girls” do not: witness car crashes, play racquetball, or go to Paris. We haven’t seen most of the significant moments on this show, we didn’t see Rory & Jess’ car crash, we didn’t even see when Luke proposed, we didn’t even have that flashback moment where we see Lorelai hold Rory as a baby for the first time. Suddenly it seems like every episode is on location. Just let my girls sit & drink coffee & talk really, really fast. It’s what they do best.

Rory’s Book Club: The Portable Dorothy Parker

I’m not usually a big fan of poetry. I usually just think “Why the crap do you not just say what you mean?”. So I didn’t buy “The Portable Dorothy Parker” even though it was on Rory’s book club list. Instead, I cheated & went to the library & checked out “The Collected Poetry of Dorothy Parker” which is 200 pages long. I know that the “Gilmore Girls” love Dorothy Parker.  Their production company (at least seasons 1-6) was named “Dorothy Parker Drank Here”. She has been mentioned several times in various episodes. I viewed the poetry as a punishment, & expected that it would take me several weeks to get through. I did not expect that I would read the entire thing in one sitting, wishing I had gotten the 700 page version. I also did not expect that I would then google Dorothy Parker & then e-mail my findings to everyone I knew. I so want to share some of her poems, but I don’t want to break any copyrights.  Instead I’ll just have to think of them & chuckle. This book is a must have for any Gilmore fan, or woman or human. Another great introduction made by the Gilmore Girls. (And yes I will be buying more Dorothy Parker.)

Need Something? Just Ask

Unless you ask something that is hard, or something that I just don’t wanna do. The lovely Krista asked for more detailed recaps because she doesn’t have cable. (“Gilmore Girls” is the only reason I have cable) Although I love being Krista’s only source of information on the subject (this means that I am also the best at least to her), I feel duty bound to share a site with scene by scene recaps. I am usually too busy throwing things & yelling at the TV to be that detailed. Remember, I am your favorite.
