Aww thanks for the family law shoutout! I like this episode overall because it means Christopher is on the way out but also because it makes so much sense for Luke to get shared custody. Nothing Luke has done would deprive him of parental rights, he didn’t know he had a daughter and that is the only reason he didn’t see her! He would have been in her life just as he was with Rory if Anna had told him.
We must have been late to the flat screens because I remember my husband buying one for the first time when I moved in with him in 2013! Seems like my sister’s husband got her one in 2011 though. I kind of liked the tv we had in college and when she and I lived together during grad school/law school- it had a dvd player and tape player and could still get DVR. I don’t remember when we got Netflix.
They could have done the failed vasectomy story line so easily and they wouldn’t have to make Jackson the worst! they definitely happen, I was hearing about a failed vasectomy baby last week when I was at the hair salon- the stylist said her boyfriend had a younger brother who was 12 years younger and it was their third child. 3 kids is a lot with childcare costs, we only had 2 friends at our childcare center with 3 kids and I visibly blanched when they told me the cost of all 3 kids being there- at one point our friends had a 5, 3, and 6 mo all in full time childcare—and the infant class was the most expensive.
If Sookie had gotten pregnant after a failed vasectomy they also could still have Lorelai be more supportive for the unplanned pregnancy. I’ve had friends who were married and had unplanned pregnancies before they were ready to try- there would be so much more discussion if they thought they were done.
The majority of my friends and I did stop with 2 kids and would be very upset if our husband’s vasectomies failed! We chose to be done growing our family at 2 kids for a reason. I hate this storyline.
I recently read Phoebe’s Diary by Phoebe Wahl and she talked about Our Town moments a lot so seeing Lucy reading Our Town touched me and I liked how Paris handled this- Paris is a great friend to Rory most of the series and I wish Rory appreciated her more.
I feel very bad for Gigi and l hope she gets a good family therapist, she has been through a lot and now looking at her through my mom of a 7 yo who has other 7 yo friends I feel so much more empathy for her situation. I had forgotten the heart attack happened this ep too but I like that it brings Luke back to show up for Lorelai in the hospital. I think every episode after this is pretty good!
It’s funny you mention Kevin Can f himself. I have been imagining a version where we don’t see Anna and April and Luke interact in in a dark universe. No wonder April sought out Luke- science project my azz!
I know, right!? This show really does lend itself to interesting potential when it comes to genre-bending. I think that's also why it was always so hard to see it as strictly a comedy, because there's so much drama. And at times it is kind of dark! Thanks for the comment, and for reading!

I've been thinking about Our Town a lot because I read Tom Lake this summer and loved it so much.
I hope Gigi has a good family therapist too!! Sadly, I don't have great faith Christopher or Shari will make this happen!
The remaining episodes are good! I watched them in the last year.
I love that they shouted you out! I’m like that’s my sister Elizabeth! ❤️
