ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey Poptarts! We’re taking a summer break.

Where's the rub, Poptarts? There it is! This week, we over-discuss SO MUCH: • Construction dust realities • Tom the Contractor • Premeditative Emily • The worst way to start reconciliation • Manic Emily • Lubed up and ready to go • So many good lines • Emily's copious use of the word “wonderful” • Vegan food appreciation • The Viagra Triangle • Her face the whole time • The alive old man • The most heinous thing that comes out of his mouth the entire show • He came to ruin her peace • The whole “we have dates” conversation • The only one who would have said OK • Not hyper-tense Paris • He goes immediately to yelling • Just wanting to be left alone in Mr. Peanut pajamas • Letting Paris lie • Off the charts Dean-O-Meter • Food math And ask A LOT of VERY important questions:  • What are you doing? • What is her motivation for that? • Have you ever been to a spa retreat? • Do you feel like Emily is clueless or hopeful? • Do they have sex right after the massage? • Do you put your clothes in the drawers? • Why is Rory packing? • Can we stop being mean about stuff? • Have you ever been to a place like this? • Does anybody know what consent is? • Do you like sitting at the bar? • Do hookers sit at bars • Are you? • Can you not have a night away from Rory? • Can you just let her be? • Have you not done laundry in four weeks? • Does she not want to be alone with Jess because she thinks it’s inappropriate or does she not want to be alone with Jess because she's deathly afraid of Dean being mad? • Is salt and pepper dip fast food gospel? • What is salt and pepper dip? • Can't Rory have her own life?

Here we are Poptarts! We watched it, that's the end, thanks for joining us!  This week, we over-discuss: Pancake skills Stuff everywhere Little garage TVs Giving a teenager a teenager job I care because you care The grey-area tipping point The intentional setup of Dean vs. Jess Go do something Marking his territory Reasons for freaking out The thing you should actually be worried about Talking to people who don't like you Bracelet intentions Unattractive noises Microaggressions The best and worst landlord Still no doors And ask some questions: Why did you do this? What would your basically pointless super power be? Since when is Caesar a bad cook? How did that happen? Why did she ship it? Did Liz send every single item that she could find that maybe at one point belonged to Jess? Is this OK? Where is your agency Dean? Can we talk about the red flags? What do you want from me? How would he steal it off her wrist without her knowing? How would he know? How did that happen? Could you imagine waking up in the morning to squealing pigs? Does Rory's hair look different? Which would you rather do?

We did it eggs to apples, everybody! This week, we over-discuss: Real time googling (including a new song!) Savage beasts and breasts (and gardens) Restaurant seating logistics Slumber party planning Super violent psalms The first fast one BRAD! Making it a bigger deal by not saying it Sherry 1.0 Everybody's weird in this episode Max and Sherry aren't the same Busy raising an actual child Life advice for 16 year old Poptarts Say it to a therapist Paul Anka origin story Rory as a public speaker Even the teachers know We need to know who Harold Pinter is Eggs is not soup And it's a question-heavy ep: Have you ever said "music has charms to soothe the savage beast?' Who says that? What are the power seats in a restaurant? Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits? Do you know Psalm 79? Have you had any dairy in the last 48 hours? Paris wants Rory to talk faster? Really, is she? What is the motivation behind that? Which one is it? Is that quick? Who brings apple juice when you're expecting water? What did you do? Do you ever end a meal with nuts? And we have some Christopher-specific questions: Do you? Are they talking? Are they involved? Is he around? Are they? Why? Do they? What the heck?

It's great, it's fun, and we always have thoughts about everything! This week, we over-discuss: Kind of because of Holden Caulfield Backstory trauma (in a very delightful way) Harrison Buttface Stop kissing at work Come on, Jackson You caused this problem Problematic character traits The only timeline that doesn't make Henry look like a bad guy Hyper-masculine peeing contest 0 to 100 in 2 seconds That's way worse! Increasingly aggressive always She is still going on a date Dating around a little Stop flirting to get stuff The iconic basket assistant Their brains aren't done Official Caesar And ask some great questions: Have you ever been set up? Why does Dean hate Jess? Do you think there was a plan? Is she smart and talented or is she naive and stupid? Do you think any of that is colored by Dean's conversation? When are we going to give this kid a break? Did you even ask her what she wants? Who do you think did page her at dinner? How much more did you do that when you were younger? How do those rolly-edged beanies stay on heads? How would he have known it was from Dean?

We have lots of spicy feelings and plenty of things to say Poptarts! This week, we over-discuss: Mausoleum price points Organ meat Figuring out how to do things on your own Thanks trauma! Hovering and judging Rachel's wall of evidence That's not the whole story You don't get space here Knowing the least in the room That's icky Lorelai Talking a CEO out of pantyhose A dangerous piece of machinery The statistical probability of getting into Harvard You don't get what you want just because you want it Let women make decisions for themselves Coffee is subjective The Gilmores' CO2 footprint Right now in Florida Literally sweet pasta Life advice from Rachel And we ask some questions: Who cares? Can you just let the authority structure exist? Can you be respectful? Is that a lot of coffee first thing in the morning? Do you think there is something that Paris could have found that would be seedy underbelly of Stars Hollow? So what brought Dean's family to Stars Hollow? Red Vines or Twizzlers?

So many ways that "that's not how that works!" this week Poptarts! This week, we over-discuss: Title confusion All the women are self-centered and frustrating: the end. Two lanes Construction inflation Shutting her out and inviting her in You don't get to do both The Rory situation Dead set that there is a solution They owe you nothing, Lorelai Too young to watch Three's Company Making her apologize for something that was true Rory is a child Let people like what they like Cheerleader judging PSAT obsession Dean is actually OK A lot of kissing Unforgivable line House jousts Tevya rewrites And ask some questions: What are the chances Lane could even go? Is that a realistic number? What would you have done? What was your plan? Oh wait, there's a cost involved? Do you think it’s appropriate for Rory to have told Emily? Did you forget who you were saying? Is gloating good for the skin? Do termites like atheists more or less than other people?

Hey Poptarts, Rachel here. My leg's been haunted, so I'm behind in editing this week's episode. Hope to have it up in the next couple of days. In the meantime, here are some ramblings about Poptarts, etc. Thanks for your patience! Copper Boom!

This week is a big, fun romp, plus we make plans to go to the Renn Faire. This time, we over-discuss: That's what they do, that's what we do Sofia references Lindsey scared stupid Rune jumping, Rachel crying A good immersive experience Taking the face off and adding it back Parent PTSD You had them come in for this Convenient Christopher logistics Oh, that's what you're upset about Jolly Richard No one asked you, Dean He left his personality in the junkyard That's what they do, they fight Paris can't ever calm down Go Bootsy Eating sticky foods around barn animals I could have had my own bed And ask so many questions: Have you ever actually tried to make a snowman? Do you know what peacock pie is? Why'd you put it back? Why isn't Drella there? Whatever happened to the puppy? Has Rory never spent the night with her dad before? Which one do you want him to be? What did they do there? If it weren't Jess, would Dean have stopped it? If it weren't Dean, would Jess have kept punching? Are they both being inappropriate? Can you chill? Can you use context clues, Paris? Also, like, why? How do they function at school? How did you get there? Why did you say yes to this?
