Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

GG was enh for me last night. people's voices seemed a bit off.
It was weird. The whole Paris begging for change thing. WTF, and how was that resolved? I may have FFed past it, but did she just stay out there?

it wasn't resolved - they never showed her again. Not a tight episode.

Hey, have we heard from Jeff lately? How's he doing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was also made twitchy by the seeds they planted for Luke and Lorelai's next fallout -- is he good enough (cue the return of the babyfather) and should he buy the house and prep for a family (will he tell her first, or will it be an expensive surprise?). But I didn't watch much previous to this season, so I don't know if it's in character.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
And the thing with Dean was weird, too: Lorelei's been in Star's Hollow for what, 20 years? Rory may want bigger and better things, but Lorelei? Is Dean really that stupid? I really hope they're not actually meaning that as any kind of foreshadowing or cause for insecurity for Luke, cause... not.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The first part of that is not only in character for this season, it's a dead horse.

GG - all the stuff that stupidhead Dean was saying to Luke made NO SENSE to me. Lorelai loves Stars Hollow and has chosen to make it her home. Christopher has never shown that he is in any way "better" except that he comes from a family with money.
The buying the house stuff as something he is doing FOR her seems odd and out of character to me. BUT, I can totally see that he has wanted this house for years and has pictured it being the house he would have a family in, nothing connected to his relationship with Lorelai, and I can see her not being able to see the differences and folks like nosy Mr. Busybody mayor guy making it all worse.

But Tom, I haven't seen him believe it this season. That's why I wondered.
Still, he looks good in that shirt.

I find Alex and Lynn to be pretty assy, so I was pleased they were gone. Gretchen really bugged me at the beginning, but they crack me UP- they aren't warm and fuzzy oldsters. they are cranky and funny and snappish and I think pretty tough. (I have no idea why I whitefonted that last bit, oh well). I find the teams in the end stretch, so much more palatable than the last go-around. It's SO much more fun to watch. Also, I love me some Boston Rob, so it's fun on that level as well. I totally heart Joyce & Uchenna. Also, they are both Teh Hott.
