The Gilmore Girls

*bump*

I'm watching this from the beginning because I didn't really discover it until series 3.

One thing I'm really noticing is the music. In the episode I'm watching there's been Elvis Costello and Billy Bragg. Not even a particularly well know BB song, it was From Red To Blue from William Bloke. :cool:

I like that it's not all the usual schmaltzy crap you get in other drama series type things.

Lane even likes Art Brut which is a british band that started in my town as the Art Goblins and I went to sunday school with the lead singer. spooky. :eek::D

Anyway, I'm really enjoying series 1, that is all. :cool:
 
I was watching it yesterday and noticed that Rory's paternal grandmother is Mama Petrelli. So Claire isn't the only one of Peter's long lost neices who had a crush on him. Except things went somewhat further with Rory.:D
 
i love this, but i think they're playing all the seasons at once cos i can never tell whether she is or isn't fucking that grumpybeard

They've started back at series 1 and I'm recording them all but it's really fucking annoying because some days they show 2 episodes and others only 1. :rolleyes:

I honestly think it is a really clever series which doesn't ever patronise it's audience. It has so many references, the episode where Paris was quoting the Communist Manifesto! And references to popular culture and literature, which you don't need to get, but if you do make it extra special.

I like the way all the characters are flawed, but realistically and endearingly so.

Oh I just love it!

I saw Christopher in Friends the other day.

Really? Who was he?

I agree it is really clever and I don't think it gets nearly enough credit. I don't know about the states but here it kind of fell under the radar. I guess with high budget stuff like the OC and One Tree Hill no-one took much notice of it.

It genuinely makes me really happy and I feel all warm and fuzzy when I watch it. :o

Yeah I think people think it's frothy, but it's so much more. And it just has really nice values I think.

Wow, we really love it.:D

We should have a Gilmore Girls day! And eat junk food like they do.:cool:

Christopher was dating Phoebe, and Ross started to date his ex wife...comedic arguments ensued.

And talk really fast. :D Maybe they talk so fast because of all the coffee they drink?

Christopher has definitely improved with age, he looked a bit grim this week-bad hair.

Ha maybe! We could practise talking fast. Me and my friend tried to do it the other day but ended up laughing. It's really hard!

My housemate has ordered the Gilmore Girls boxset from Blockbuster for me.

God I am excited.:cool::cool:
 
Omg, I'm watching todays episode. They have thrown Lorelai the most amazing bridal shower. There were even Hello Kitty gifts. :cool:

The bit with Luke and Lorelai was so sad. All those unspoken things. :(

Yeah it was. I haven't seen these so don't know exactly how the Max thing happened so this is quite interesting.

I'm enjoying finding out a lot more about the relationship between Lorelai and her parents and they are all showing how raw all the hurt still is which is interesting. Emily is really quite emotional and you can see how desperately she wants a relationship with her daughter but keeps fucking it up. :(

And did you see it yesterday? When Rory fell out with the grandparents?

Lorelai was telling Rory how she was the child Lorelai never was, to them, and how they loved her more than anything, and she didn't mind, but that's how it was. And she was defending their behaviour.

It was so sad, yet sweet at the same time.

I know, poor Laurelai. :( She looked really sad today when Max was talking about how excited his parents were. :(
 
In Ireland they started showing Gilmore Girls about 8 years ago in the 7th Heaven slot so I took badly against it.:mad: Then in September I was watching the OC 1 day into a miscarriage when GG came on and it was the episode where Sookie had her 1st baby so I took even more badly against it. :mad::mad:

Then my husband started watching it because he fancies Lorelai (and possibly Rory - it was the college years).:rolleyes: And I should have taken against it even more but I was there and it was on and it grew on me and I like it now.:)
