Just when I was so excited about “Gilmore Girls” again, I happen across the worst spoiler of all time. I’ll write the basics in white, so if you are a spoilerish kind of person, you can highlight it & read it, if you aren’t, then don’t.  Christopher & Lorelai are going to elope in Paris next month. Martie is coming back (Yeah!!!) Richard isn’t going to die (Yeah!!!).  I really don’t mind if Christopher & Lorelai are going to elope.  It’s simply that they are already thinking ahead to put her back with Luke.  I don’t want this for her, she has jumped around enough in her life & last season was all about how she’s finally ready for stability.  Besides, we already did the quickie marriage with Luke & the lawyer girl.  Her name escapes me right now, I’m just that upset. I’m hoping that it is just an elaborate ploy to throw us off track to Luke & Lorelai reuniting, or at the very least Lorelai staying single. However, it comes directly from David Rosenthal, so probably not. I’m sorry I had to share this with you. It’s like when you eat something gross & turn to the person next to you & say “Try this, it’s disguisting. No really, you’ve got to eat this.” So if this happened, would you keep watching “Gilmore Girls”? I will because I’m in this til the end.  It’s not about the boys to me, it’s about my “Gilmore Girls” so as long as they don’t kill one of them off, I’m good.  (I hope this doesn’t give any of the writers any ideas)

Usually people aren’t so excited about closed captioning. I had to turn it on during “The Great Stink” because the “Gilmore Girls” were actually saying stuff I didn’t know about. So I had to turn it on so I could read how to spell it, so I could google it later, because I’m just that much of a dork. First, it was off to find out what gerunds means (I still have no idea). Then I tried to translate what “Bon Viant” means, but I came up with nothing, so I let that one go.  Then I read a little bit about Captain Blythe (no link because I couldn’t find a solid biography, the show described him pretty well), & found out what an epaulet is, as well as a middy. Then there were searches for various kinds of vegetable soda & a cute plaid shirt like Lorelai was wearing. I missed about 3 references in the first 15 minutes.  Mostly because I wasn’t expecting them because Season 6 has been sucking lately.  It will be interesting when I try to insert my new words into everyday conversation.

Ok, in between all my quickly writing down words, there was also a show.  I think that they didn’t show a proper preview last week because it would have been boring. Hey, you can have plot, or words like gerunds, I’ll get my plot from other shows. I’ve never been so excited for relationships to fall apart.  I’m completely rooting for Sherry & Bobbie to break up Lorelai+Chris & Rory+Logan.  Come on girls, I believe in you, you can totally do this. The pickle storyline reminded me too much of when Kirk was in charge of the Easter Egg hunt & he didn’t make an egg map & the town smelled of rotting eggs.  However, this episode was better than most we’ve seen lately, including Season 6.  Lorelai was right, Chris is no Luke. Sorry, I’m scatterbrained in this review because of all my new words & the prospect of drinking celery soda. I’m on brain overload with all the new information, it’s like eating too many pixie sticks. Now I just pointed out my scatterbrained-ness, way to go Sarakastic.  I’m just that excited.  What were your thoughts on this episode?

One of the few romances from Rory’s booklist was “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Just because the book was romantic didn’t mean I had changed. I still put the Sara in Sarakastic.  I read the description of Gatsby buying a house next to Daisy & never speaking to her. He looked at the green light at the end of her dock, day after day, year after year, waiting for the perfect moment to reintroduce himself. As he pined away for five years I couldn’t help but think “Why doesn’t he just get on Myspace & message her”. Romance is dead I suppose. This novel could never be written now for that reason, but it did serve to make me sigh & wish the world was still like that.

This book does show the timeless human nature of always wanting what we can’t have. For this reason it is definitely worth a read. Plus it reminded me in Season 3 when Sookie met an old friend from cooking school. She found out he had liked her for 10 years but she had just married Jackson.  She & Lorelai found a sick satisfaction knowing that she was someone’s Daisy.  This is the perfect girl book. Check out Rory’s official booklist in the sidebar, & start reading any book you choose. I don’t know if the CW will continue the book club, I’ve written & asked them, but time will tell. Either way, I will keep reading the books on the list.

Here is my pro-con list of Rory’s loves. The winner will go on to challenge her next boyfriend in a pro-con list. Think of it as death match with pro-con lists. This is a list for the still bitter discussion which should Rory have chosen, Dean or Jess? I have always liked Jess more than Dean.  For all of Jess’ faults, after Rory broke up with Dean he said he had to go take care of something (break up with Shane), before he kissed her.  Which is more than I can say for Dean. However, the list has spoken. Did I leave something out? Disagree with anything? Leave a comment & let me know.
