Unpopular opinion: I loved Jason and Lorelai. He was awkward but just as sharp as her. I feel like he was strong enough to hold his own. The other guys just let her do whatever
I liked them too! And I thought the lawsuit drama was kind of a dumb reason for her to break up with him. It felt a little out of character. Lorelai has always had a rocky relationship with her parents. Her dad was royally screwing over Jason, and she picked her dad's side? It didn't make sense to me that she would just so firmly end things so quickly like that. I do think he wasn't the right fit for her in the long run. She would never leave Stars Hollow, and I struggle to imagine Jason trying to settle down there with her (same problem with Christopher). But they did have good chemistry, and yeah, he was good at maintaining his own identity and boundaries with her.
YES! Everyone seems to hate him and yet he's my favourite of all of Lorelai's boyfriends (her and Luke have great chemistry, but I never enjoyed their relationship much when they were together). The reason people give for disliking him as well are things like he didn't let her sleep in the same room as him but he does so because he has chronic insomnia and she gets to stay in a room she likes better with a giant TV and loads of DVDs. Like maybe he shouldn't have sprung it on her when she was already there but I don't see it as this horrible thing like everyone else seems to. The only time I dislike him is when he shows up at the inn but that was because I don't think he would do that. It was a situation created by the writers purely to add an obstacle between her and Luke
@@christopherhayes6713 exactly! That’s why i didn’t like Lorelei sometimes. She could be a little hypocritical when she doesn’t get her way. She’s more like her parents than you think.
Oh the irony of Rory telling Dean he can't drop out of college, even temporarily. She was such a snob when it came to education and people having different life goals. And then the shoe was on the other foot.
Rory was absolutely a snob about school before the “”””boat incident””””. And a snob about education and life goals in the revival too, despite her own obvious lack of success. It is *so entitled* to not only be so aggressive about her opinions on Dean quitting school, but to insist that he is ruining his life by saving up for a house with his wife. Tells you exactly how possessive she is of him. Lindsey was totally justified in telling Dean to go no contact with her. The writing was on the wall. And don’t even get me started on Dean, I can’t stand that mf.
@@bufficliff8978 But Dean was fine with taking a break from college. Rory was the one who freaked out and went off on him that taking a break would inevitably mean never going back. It didn't mean that, and it actually could have been a really smart decision for him and Lindsay to gain some more stability. Rory was just being judgmental of that life path (and she probably looked down on Lindsay for wanting to be a housewife).
What happened to Lane is one of the great television tragedies. Marrying a lazy weight makes absolutely no sense after watching Lane fight for freedom and life.
14:17 - idk if this classifies as a fun fact but, in Rory's high school graduation episode (idk if you've seen that one yet, it's the last episode of season 3) Emily and Richard give Rory a car as a graduation gift, she has it throughout the rest of the show
Fun fact: the actress who played Lindsay was later in a teen movie called John Tucker Must Die where she played a girl who was also getting cheated on.
Hearing you say you didn't feel a connection between Lorelai and Jason was kind of profound. I've always thought they complemented each other well in their wit and ability to banter, but that is all on the surface to keep up some appearance, or keep others at arms length. They both are immature in their own ways and I think that is where they meet.
I hate Richard in this, he basically destroyed Jason. I never really forgave him, and this almost cause Emily divorcing him, too. I loved Jason and Lorelai and wish we had seen more of them.
He never would have fit into her life long term. He likes the city and climbing corporate ladders and she just wants her small town with her own business she can run no need to climb anywhere.
11:39 lol I also live in a town so small that if you talk bad about someone in the store they often are in that store 😂 I’m like “keep your voice down, I’m related to half the town” lol
"I think it's a horrible idea! A lot of people who drop out say that it's temporary, and it usually doesn't work out that way," proclaims Rory, the future Yale drop-out. 😂
Dean was like kinda cute in the first season (give or take a few iffy moments) but they turned him into literally one of the worst characters. Also, unpopular opinion maybe but Loralai and Jasons relationship was one of my favorites. Jason is a weirdo but it was cute the way he pursued her.
Watching as an adult, Dean gives me bad vibes for most of the run. They actively dumb his character down in season 2 to make Jess look better but there's moments in season 1 that are red flags too (him breaking up with Rory because she doesnt say I love you back is the big one). He has a terrible temper and is incredibly jealous, and is distrustful of Rory. There's the whole Donna Read thing where he says Rory is only a feminist because her mum is. Also, when he confronts Jess he says 'This is my town' when he, like Jess, moved to Star's Hollow from a city (though I think this might just be the writers forgetting Dean was from Chicago). Also, when he and Jess physically fight Dean starts that fight without even knowing what happened (which is not to say what Jess did was okay but Dean had no idea why Rory was upset other than it involved Jess). Rory also actively told Dean not to, but he still punched Jess so it wasn't about her feelings, it was about him wanting to punch Jess pure and simple. Both Jess and Dean are terrible boyfriends to Rory in different ways as teenagers, but what we see of adult Jess, he matures and grows and becomes a better person whereas adult Dean continues to be a shitty person (and maybe even gets worse). Also, not that it excuses his behaviour, but Jess gre up with an absentee father and a flaky mum who shipped him off to live with his uncle when she felt she couldn't deal with him any more. Stuff like that's going to make a kid angry and likely to act out, again I'm not excusing Jess' behaviour, just saying it explains it a bit.
Dean gives me the ick. He’s jealous, clingy and cannot leave Rory alone even when she asks him for time to study or whatnot. He has anger issues and maybe even a little controlling. Never liked his character.
Dean had every right to be distrustful of Rory. Rory was failing terribly at hiding her obvious crush on Jess from the minute he came into town. Rory was literally not trustworthy. Now sure Dean could have handled it better but, are we forgetting that he's a teenage boy who fell in love. He was a good boyfriend to Rory but, she was sneaky and manipulative. Not to mention the entire pressure of the town on Dean (a literal teenage boy) who would be ready to eat him alive if made the slightest mistake with Rory. Also, Dean was a teenager and had to work, in fact, we see him work throughout the entire series. His life was difficult in different ways than Jess's. I'd sure as hell be angry if my boyfriend was obviously flirting and crushing on another girl and then telling me it's nothing and then literally getting with that person the minute we break up, anyone would. @@Harrison_J_T

I think Dean is so terrible. He knows his wife feels threatened by Rory and, instead of taking up for his wife, he hides a “friendship” with Rory behind her back. If you’re hiding something, you know it’s wrong. And Jason gets on my nerves. He thinks he’s such a clever person that he can talk anyone into anything he wants. He has comedic moments but I find him to be a total sleazeball.
Because he didn't love his wife. THAT'S the primary assholery. He married a woman he didn't love instead of chasing or getting over Rory. And Jason CAN talk everyone into what he wants almost every time. What you hate is the manipulation. You're wrong about him "thinking" he can--he can.
I love how your voice does this thing where at the end of every word it gets deeper into tv trailer narration. This is not a neg, that’s genuinely a way to make good money with an asmr channel
So, from what I remember, Richard worked for Floyd, felt like he was being pushed out and so retired. Then, realising he missed work, set up his own company and then Jason aporoached him about teaming up. While I agree with you about it being hard to gauge whats at stake not knowing how much the pension is, my understanding is, as he retired, that pension was his and Emily's main income. Him setting up his own business would bring further income but not straight away (and i imagine he would need some for his eventual re-retirement). By Floyd suing them, if the business goes under then Richard's pension will be used to pay all the business loans back leaving him and Emily with no income whatsoever. They do seem to be generationally rich from what we know of their backgrounds so it's hard to understand how much of an income they actually require...I guess it's a case of maintaining their lifestyles, which in their social circles is important? I may have accidentally talked myself out of my own argument...
@ennuiblue4295 Very true. To be fair money and who has it is weird and inconsistent on the show. I get that Luke was pretty frugal, but even so, I never understood how he had...what was it, $100,000 to spontaneously buy the building next to the diner? And can afford to loan Lorelai $30,000 for the inn. Rory gets a card swiping job at the dining hall to earn some money in her first year of Yale but doesn't have any job in future years despite seeming to have no issues with money. Also, there's terrible continuity around whether or not she has a trustfund.
@@Harrison_J_TI can see Luke having that much money, honestly. From what I understand he inherited the building from his father, meaning he doesn't have to pay rent or a loan. He doesn't go on vacation often, and if he does, he seems to mostly go camping in the woods, which also doesn't cost anything. His personal experiences (meaning excluding the diner) are probably just food, water and heating. Considering that he lives alone for most of the show and his living space isn't too big, he probably doesn't pay that much for that either. His Diner is also seemingly the most popular restaurant in town, with many visiting every day. He probably saves up a few thousand dollars every month for over a decade, plus he might have also got money after his parents died. It's still a lot, but not impossible. And when he borrowed Lorelei the money he also had the additional income from being a landlord
This is my first video of yours and tbh its funny. I’ve watched GG on my own so I would just laugh my butt off whenever, but seeing people react like this to scenes I can’t help but giggle at really shed light on the fact that I laugh a lot. Gonna see if there are any more vids of you reacting to GG.
I think it's entirely possible to be a good spouse and not cut out whoever your partner asks you to because they don't like them. But Dean isn't talking about telling his wife he still wants Rory in his life as a friend (though the "friend" bullshit is another can of worms), he's talking about lying and sneaking around to see Rory behind her back. Dean really turns into such a jerk with this whole plot line.
@@AnnaBella9075 They did. But in all honesty, I buy it with Dean's journey. I think they earn that character development (or devolvement). I buy it a lot more than what they did to Rory and Lorelai in the reboot.
@@AnnaBella9075 Yeah, I think that's true. Though it might also be a difference in who they are and how they express love or what they want in a relationship. Dean wanted to marry and settle down very young, he wanted Rory to be his one and only. Rory wasn't ready to be anyone's forever (and maybe that wasn't the kind of relationship she would ever want) and that's okay.
I feel they don’t mention money amounts bc money’s actual value will vary throughout location (cost of living in certain areas) and time. And they’ll likely estimate a number that doesn’t really make sense when fans think about it too much. That one episode had Lorelei getting like 75k and paying her parents back for Chilton and not getting financial aid for Yale. I believe the amount would have needed to be much much higher to make sense in that scenario.
@@notthemovie He may not have seen it as a risk. He knows that business and what it would take. That was before Jason joined and he's the one that caused the breach and brought Floyd's wrath down on them.
Rory was a hypocrite because she harassed dean for dropping out of school but when she drops out of school/Yale she thinks it’s the right decision and side note i think that Mitchum was right and I think you should watch S3 E8 Rory goes to Yale with Emily Richard and Lorelai
You have to watch these please Rory’s Dance S1E9 Rory’s Birthday Parties S1E6 they’re both heartwarming and heartbreaking and have solid plot/character work Keg! Max! S3E19 ultimate boy drama
I dont understand how Richard could do something so foul. Like bruh. And then loreali being fine with it and breaking up with Jason. He isn't my favorite but damn. how we not calling our family out on foul behavior behooves me. Lol
@@notthemovie would you really want to be with somebody who is suing your father, especially at his age?? Lorelai begged Jason not to do it, to find another solution but he did not care - just like he never cared about her needs while dating her, he was a narcissist and workoholic, these two would never work out
I actually get it. His business partner couldn’t be trusted and he was facing a lawsuit he couldn’t afford to fight. So why not cut the business partner who betrayed your trust repeatedly and got you into the lawsuit in the first place?
This episode is great but I always had such a difficult time believing that a guy like Jason grew up the way he did and lived the lifestyle he did WITHOUT playing golf. Absolutely the most unrealistic part of the show
Was it implied that he never played though or just that he wasn’t any good? You can play something somewhat regularly enough socially perhaps and still takes some chunks of lawn out with a golf club 😆 Maybe, I dunno
@@Freebird805yeah I got the sense he's just very uncoordinated. I feel him on that. I got told that I was built for sports a lot, until people actually saw me play. My hand eye coordination is trash.
i feel bad for what richard and jason’s dad did to him at the end, but that was honestly the smartest thing richard could do in that situation to not lose everything.
Petticoat Junction was a really terrible tv show about a woman who runs a hotel (the Shady Rest) with her three daughters, who were very cute. Hence Kirk’s interest in the show. They used to air reruns of Petticoat Junction after school right through the ‘80s. So an entire generation has the theme song firmly ensconced in our brains, against our will.
I think they don’t say how much money something is in shows so that it doesn’t sound dated. It’s like when you watch something from the ‘50s and they something is $1000 you have to remind yourself that it’s a lot of money then. If they avoid it then you can just use your imagination
About Dean and Lindsay: 1st, a disclaimer: NOTHING I'm about to say justifies Dean being a jerk to Lindsay and cheating on her. Lindsay wants to be a housewife, wants a town house and a car. But it's obviously not working out.. She expects Dean to work all day and then come home to her and be all happy and spend time with her etc... Someone mentioned that Lindsay just wants to be a good wife to Dean. Except.. it's not working. After Dean finally cheats on her with Rory (which this episode starts to set up), he goes home to her and actaully has the galls to act like a disgusting jerk to her and yell at her. And Lindsay mentions how all they do is fight. That she spends her days waiting for him to come home and then they just fight. That's not healthy for either of them. And especially for Lindsay. Being a housewife is obviously not making her happy if all she does is wait for Dean. So, since she wants her town house and her car, and she's just there waiting for Dean, why doesn't she find a job, even a part time one? Or even go to community college, even on a part time basis. That way she would have something besides Dean and her mom, something to fill her days with, something that she might find fulfilling and she'd happier. Just my 2 cents.
You're absolutely right. They were WAY too young to get married, but when you think about it, that was probably the point of the storyline. I think the writers wanted to show that teen marriage isn't glamorous. Think about One Tree Hill. Nathan and Haley got married at 16, and they dealt with all kind of crap like money issues, secrets, emotional turned cheating, and almost got divorced. While they weren't toxic like Lindsey and Dean, they were way in over their heads, too.
@@rachelmartin5187 Definitely way too young and you're right, it was the whole point. Plus Dean still being in love with Rory. Felt like he was settling. He rushed into that marriage. Yup, totally agree about One Tree Hill. And while Haley and Nathan had all those issues you mentioned, I feel like them ending together wasn't realistic. But then again, the whole show was unrealistic. How many murders and plotting and whatever else can happen in a small town? Even their daily lives in high school felt unrealistic - but that's the point I guess; otherwise no one would watch the show. Rory's high school life felt closer to reality. Two shows about a small town but wow, it felt like two completely different worlds.
And you know something? I think she and Dean still could have done better than they did if Rory had respected the boundaries. Lindsay was trying really hard, and initially Dean was trying too until Rory kept badgering him and he decided the grass was greener. He might have eventually gotten there on his own, but who knows.
@@thatjillgirlI disagree. Dean was obsessing over rory THE NIGHT BEFORE HIS WEDDING. Even before he cheated, he was being unfaithful in his heart. It's one thing to have unresolved feelings, it's another to go into a marriage with unresolved feelings.
The intense deep hatred that people have for Rory kinda scares me lol it’s okay to hate her, I understand why but the way they talk it’s like they are coming for blood from people 😂
Some people can’t deal with a flawed protagonist. 😂 I saw her as flawed from the start, but I think a lot of fans of the early seasons saw her as an ideal role model and were devastated when the character deviated from that image.
You're doing GG again? Also, I always assumed they don't say the numbers intentionally. So it doesn't date the show. Also, alot of money is different to everyone so honestly they probably don't know. How much would it take for them to live the way they do in Connecticut? Who knows, let's keep it vague.
Jason and Lorelei definitely had a lot of chemistry in my opinion but it was a very weird relationship without seeing how it started and progressed i feel like you’ll never really get it (especially since you have seen her with Luke already lol) i think thats why they legit had write him out fast lol i feel like the writers were nervous it might split the fan base if they let it go on too long tbh and stoped teasing us and finally moved on to Luke.
Everyone talks about how horrible Floyd is here, but his wife is clearly just as culpable since she doesn't appear surprised when the yelling starts. Her sweet-talking with Emily is truly sociopathic behavior and gives me the icks. Yeah, and Richard does suck in this.
Oh, have you watched Brooklyn99? I've been ill for the past months, stuck at home and binged watched the 99. If you've never watched it, videos on it would be amazing.
You are correct Lorelai and Jason have zero chemistry. He is her absolute worst match. He’s so boring and there is no spark between them. I used to always forget he was on the show and now I just get annoyed every time I get to his episodes.
I really loved Dean… until all this. Ughhhh WHY did they have to run him?! It just seems so out of character from when we meet him in the first seasons 💔 I like to pretend it never happened. I just can’t.
I do not like Jason, he gives me the ick. I feel like Lorelei only dated him bc she knew her mother wouldn’t approve. Which is not a good reason to do that. I personally fast forward all there scenes together. So boring and cringey.
The bedroom isn't that spacious. Two beds, two desks, plus some bits and bobs does not leave room for a bookshelf. But they could have easily put it in the shared living room.

While I agree with you about it being hard to gauge whats at stake not knowing how much the pension is, my understanding is, as he retired, that pension was his and Emily's main income. Him setting up his own business would bring further income but not straight away (and i imagine he would need some for his eventual re-retirement). By Floyd suing them, if the business goes under then Richard's pension will be used to pay all the business loans back leaving him and Emily with no income whatsoever.
They do seem to be generationally rich from what we know of their backgrounds so it's hard to understand how much of an income they actually require...I guess it's a case of maintaining their lifestyles, which in their social circles is important? I may have accidentally talked myself out of my own argument...
lol
When Lorelai helps her with the taxes, they seem to have many lucrative investments "I had no idea we owned windmills"
@ennuiblue4295 Very true. To be fair money and who has it is weird and inconsistent on the show. I get that Luke was pretty frugal, but even so, I never understood how he had...what was it, $100,000 to spontaneously buy the building next to the diner? And can afford to loan Lorelai $30,000 for the inn. Rory gets a card swiping job at the dining hall to earn some money in her first year of Yale but doesn't have any job in future years despite seeming to have no issues with money. Also, there's terrible continuity around whether or not she has a trustfund.
@@Harrison_J_TI can see Luke having that much money, honestly. From what I understand he inherited the building from his father, meaning he doesn't have to pay rent or a loan. He doesn't go on vacation often, and if he does, he seems to mostly go camping in the woods, which also doesn't cost anything. His personal experiences (meaning excluding the diner) are probably just food, water and heating. Considering that he lives alone for most of the show and his living space isn't too big, he probably doesn't pay that much for that either. His Diner is also seemingly the most popular restaurant in town, with many visiting every day. He probably saves up a few thousand dollars every month for over a decade, plus he might have also got money after his parents died. It's still a lot, but not impossible. And when he borrowed Lorelei the money he also had the additional income from being a landlord
@@BirdOnATypwriter That's a good point about the income as a landlord when he lent her the money!
I don't remember Kurt's pep talk, but that's a dated reference I believe to Howard Dean's speech that ended his presidential run 😂 HEE-YAW!
This is my first video of yours and tbh its funny. I’ve watched GG on my own so I would just laugh my butt off whenever, but seeing people react like this to scenes I can’t help but giggle at really shed light on the fact that I laugh a lot. Gonna see if there are any more vids of you reacting to GG.

Thank you, here's my Gilmore Girls playlist.
I once accidentally left an egg in my desk over the Easter holiday... S o yes it is "that big a deal" 😭😭😭
I think it's entirely possible to be a good spouse and not cut out whoever your partner asks you to because they don't like them. But Dean isn't talking about telling his wife he still wants Rory in his life as a friend (though the "friend" bullshit is another can of worms), he's talking about lying and sneaking around to see Rory behind her back. Dean really turns into such a jerk with this whole plot line.
Indeed.
Yeah they really ruined his character
@@AnnaBella9075 They did. But in all honesty, I buy it with Dean's journey. I think they earn that character development (or devolvement). I buy it a lot more than what they did to Rory and Lorelai in the reboot.
@@ceceliam9014 yeah it’s just sad bc I loved his character at first:( I think he was always more in love with Rory than she was with him
@@AnnaBella9075 Yeah, I think that's true. Though it might also be a difference in who they are and how they express love or what they want in a relationship. Dean wanted to marry and settle down very young, he wanted Rory to be his one and only. Rory wasn't ready to be anyone's forever (and maybe that wasn't the kind of relationship she would ever want) and that's okay.
I feel they don’t mention money amounts bc money’s actual value will vary throughout location (cost of living in certain areas) and time. And they’ll likely estimate a number that doesn’t really make sense when fans think about it too much.
That one episode had Lorelei getting like 75k and paying her parents back for Chilton and not getting financial aid for Yale. I believe the amount would have needed to be much much higher to make sense in that scenario.
Agree 100%.
It is an internationally aired show. And it's likely they want it to be more timeless than specific to a time.
Richard is someone, a character that takes care of his family, first and foremost, this is where his loyalty lies....
Then why did he risk his pension?
@@notthemovie He may not have seen it as a risk. He knows that business and what it would take. That was before Jason joined and he's the one that caused the breach and brought Floyd's wrath down on them.
I just found you, and I'm in love with your voice and commentary, you are too funny👌
Thank you very much.
Rory was a hypocrite because she harassed dean for dropping out of school but when she drops out of school/Yale she thinks it’s the right decision and side note i think that Mitchum was right and I think you should watch S3 E8 Rory goes to Yale with Emily Richard and Lorelai
You have to watch these please
Rory’s Dance S1E9
Rory’s Birthday Parties S1E6
they’re both heartwarming and heartbreaking and have solid plot/character work
Keg! Max! S3E19 ultimate boy drama
Only taking recommendations from Patreon now. If these show up there, I'll do it.
Luke should open a restaurant in Atlanta. He'd fit right in. Also you should review season 5 episode 8 "The Party's Over"
Omg! You can watch (or like upload) Gilmore girls againnnnnnnn yay!!! I missed these, but I do love all your videos 💕💕💕
I dont understand how Richard could do something so foul. Like bruh. And then loreali being fine with it and breaking up with Jason. He isn't my favorite but damn. how we not calling our family out on foul behavior behooves me. Lol
Yeah, Lorelai choosing her parents side in this doesn't make much sense to me.
He did what he had to do to protect his own family.
@@notthemovie would you really want to be with somebody who is suing your father, especially at his age?? Lorelai begged Jason not to do it, to find another solution but he did not care - just like he never cared about her needs while dating her, he was a narcissist and workoholic, these two would never work out
I actually get it. His business partner couldn’t be trusted and he was facing a lawsuit he couldn’t afford to fight. So why not cut the business partner who betrayed your trust repeatedly and got you into the lawsuit in the first place?
Love these so much. Calm amidst the storm. Thanks!
You're welcome
This episode is great but I always had such a difficult time believing that a guy like Jason grew up the way he did and lived the lifestyle he did WITHOUT playing golf. Absolutely the most unrealistic part of the show
Was it implied that he never played though or just that he wasn’t any good? You can play something somewhat regularly enough socially perhaps and still takes some chunks of lawn out with a golf club 😆 Maybe, I dunno
@@Freebird805yeah I got the sense he's just very uncoordinated. I feel him on that. I got told that I was built for sports a lot, until people actually saw me play. My hand eye coordination is trash.
Dang… never been here so fast. Best way to start off a sick day
Wonderful.
i feel bad for what richard and jason’s dad did to him at the end, but that was honestly the smartest thing richard could do in that situation to not lose everything.
Basically the only thing, giving the fact that he could no longer trust Jason, so keeping business with him would be impossible
Petticoat Junction was a really terrible tv show about a woman who runs a hotel (the Shady Rest) with her three daughters, who were very cute. Hence Kirk’s interest in the show. They used to air reruns of Petticoat Junction after school right through the ‘80s. So an entire generation has the theme song firmly ensconced in our brains, against our will.
Thats cool, piece of trivia for the elderly 80s babies. 😁
8:28 This is none of your business, Rory!
I think they don’t say how much money something is in shows so that it doesn’t sound dated. It’s like when you watch something from the ‘50s and they something is $1000 you have to remind yourself that it’s a lot of money then. If they avoid it then you can just use your imagination
The constant references kinda throws the idea of not being dated out the window. But I get it, thanks.
Oh my goodness you’re back! Yay! 😊
as lorelai said, it's none of richard's business who's dating who.
tag u made my week 💕 great work
Happy to hear that
About Dean and Lindsay:
1st, a disclaimer: NOTHING I'm about to say justifies Dean being a jerk to Lindsay and cheating on her.
Lindsay wants to be a housewife, wants a town house and a car. But it's obviously not working out..
She expects Dean to work all day and then come home to her and be all happy and spend time with her etc...
Someone mentioned that Lindsay just wants to be a good wife to Dean. Except.. it's not working.
After Dean finally cheats on her with Rory (which this episode starts to set up), he goes home to her and actaully has the galls to act like a disgusting jerk to her and yell at her.
And Lindsay mentions how all they do is fight. That she spends her days waiting for him to come home and then they just fight.
That's not healthy for either of them. And especially for Lindsay.
Being a housewife is obviously not making her happy if all she does is wait for Dean.
So, since she wants her town house and her car, and she's just there waiting for Dean, why doesn't she find a job, even a part time one? Or even go to community college, even on a part time basis.
That way she would have something besides Dean and her mom, something to fill her days with, something that she might find fulfilling and she'd happier.
Just my 2 cents.
You're absolutely right. They were WAY too young to get married, but when you think about it, that was probably the point of the storyline. I think the writers wanted to show that teen marriage isn't glamorous. Think about One Tree Hill. Nathan and Haley got married at 16, and they dealt with all kind of crap like money issues, secrets, emotional turned cheating, and almost got divorced. While they weren't toxic like Lindsey and Dean, they were way in over their heads, too.
@@rachelmartin5187 Definitely way too young and you're right, it was the whole point. Plus Dean still being in love with Rory. Felt like he was settling. He rushed into that marriage.
Yup, totally agree about One Tree Hill. And while Haley and Nathan had all those issues you mentioned, I feel like them ending together wasn't realistic. But then again, the whole show was unrealistic. How many murders and plotting and whatever else can happen in a small town? Even their daily lives in high school felt unrealistic - but that's the point I guess; otherwise no one would watch the show.
Rory's high school life felt closer to reality.
Two shows about a small town but wow, it felt like two completely different worlds.
Poor Lindsey. The girl just wanted to be a good wife. Too bad her husband is a tool
Yes, she really didn’t deserve that
And you know something? I think she and Dean still could have done better than they did if Rory had respected the boundaries. Lindsay was trying really hard, and initially Dean was trying too until Rory kept badgering him and he decided the grass was greener. He might have eventually gotten there on his own, but who knows.
@@thatjillgirlI disagree. Dean was obsessing over rory THE NIGHT BEFORE HIS WEDDING. Even before he cheated, he was being unfaithful in his heart. It's one thing to have unresolved feelings, it's another to go into a marriage with unresolved feelings.
Tony Robbins is a vampire for real
The intense deep hatred that people have for Rory kinda scares me lol it’s okay to hate her, I understand why but the way they talk it’s like they are coming for blood from people 😂
Some people can’t deal with a flawed protagonist. 😂 I saw her as flawed from the start, but I think a lot of fans of the early seasons saw her as an ideal role model and were devastated when the character deviated from that image.
You're doing GG again?
Also, I always assumed they don't say the numbers intentionally. So it doesn't date the show. Also, alot of money is different to everyone so honestly they probably don't know. How much would it take for them to live the way they do in Connecticut? Who knows, let's keep it vague.
O:49 when is Luke not frustrated and/or grumpy? Oh... when he's with Lorelai. Then his soft side comes out.
I am SUBBBBBEDDDD
Thank you very much
Jason and Lorelei definitely had a lot of chemistry in my opinion but it was a very weird relationship without seeing how it started and progressed i feel like you’ll never really get it (especially since you have seen her with Luke already lol) i think thats why they legit had write him out fast lol i feel like the writers were nervous it might split the fan base if they let it go on too long tbh and stoped teasing us and finally moved on to Luke.
Your voice is perfectly sardonic. I love it.
Thank you
Richard is one of the worst. More subtile than Emily, but cut from the same manipulative and backstabbing snobby cloth.
Everyone talks about how horrible Floyd is here, but his wife is clearly just as culpable since she doesn't appear surprised when the yelling starts. Her sweet-talking with Emily is truly sociopathic behavior and gives me the icks. Yeah, and Richard does suck in this.
I know this isn't a show, but you should watch The Devil Wears Prada! 💜
I think they don't talk numbers in these shows to keep them timeless. Things are bound to change financially after a couple of decades.
The constant references take a big jab outta the timelessness
Rory was a hot mess and I just ended up not liking either her or Lorelai by the end of it lol
Great episode as always.. and a great reaction as well. I like Lorelai and Jason's... But Im still team Luke. 😁❤️
Me too... most of the time.
You have probably heared this before, but everytime I see you in a new video I think you just got your wisdom tooth pulled out😅
Definitely never heard that before.
@@notthemovie Just because you hold the microphone like an ice pack to your cheek. I promise, I'm normal 😄
@@joajoy Ahhhhhhh, ok. That's funny.
love your videos. dont know if youve seen the show 'umbrella academy' was wondering if you could react to that.
Already seen every episode, sorry.
The way that Trish was described as a “girl” and not a woman is concerning
Jason didn’t fit her small town life and that was always going to end.
Happy happy day!!!
Indeed.
new GG, yay!!
Please watch Orphan Black with no context (if you are a sci-fi guy of course). If confusion is what you are looking for you are in for a ride
Although Patreon subscriptions get top billing, I've added your suggestion to my list. Thanks.
Watch S1E6 Rory's Birthday Parties or S1E16 Starcrossed Lovers and Other Strangers or S2 E19 Teach Me Tonight next! :)
Any hope of a Buffy episode soon?
We shall see
this is great
Oh, have you watched Brooklyn99?
I've been ill for the past months, stuck at home and binged watched the 99.
If you've never watched it, videos on it would be amazing.
I've seen every episode
@@notthemovie do you agree that the 5 first seasons are the best, especially the first 3 and then it's downhill?
@@imibee5184 Honestly, I barely remember it now. I binged it as well.
Have you watched "Orange is the new black"? If not, I recommend reacting to S4 E12.
Already on my list, thank you.
You really need to get into voice acting. You naturally talk like Batman and it's fascinating 🤔 lol
lol
You are correct Lorelai and Jason have zero chemistry. He is her absolute worst match. He’s so boring and there is no spark between them. I used to always forget he was on the show and now I just get annoyed every time I get to his episodes.
I really loved Dean… until all this. Ughhhh WHY did they have to run him?! It just seems so out of character from when we meet him in the first seasons 💔 I like to pretend it never happened. I just can’t.
I do not like Jason, he gives me the ick. I feel like Lorelei only dated him bc she knew her mother wouldn’t approve. Which is not a good reason to do that. I personally fast forward all there scenes together. So boring and cringey.
❤❤❤😂
"it's too small" - in her extremely spacious dorm room
The bedroom isn't that spacious. Two beds, two desks, plus some bits and bobs does not leave room for a bookshelf. But they could have easily put it in the shared living room.
