5x22 We Like This Show
It's the season finale! You can't tell from how we're ranting, but we actually like this show! Is Lorelai the victim? Because she's sure acting like it! Rory desperately needs some comfort, but no one will give it to her. Lane is still an afterthought. And Luke might be the most intimacy-challenged man we've ever come across.
-
5x21 Boundaries!
There's a lot to cover! Lorelai has a pregnancy scare, Rory receives some criticism, Luke tries to buy a house, Kirk has a ton of money, Sookie's having a baby and Jackson's getting snipped. Plus, we're discussing fanfiction and the wonder that is Archive of Our Own and how the world ends when the site goes down.

5x20 That's Not Rory
There's so much going on in this episode our heads are spinning. Rory is almost unrecognizable. Lorelai is being jealous and petty. Emily and Richard are treating their daughter horribly.
-
5x19 Archaic Divisions
Logan is finally ready for commitment, but his family tries to derail his relationship before it's even left the ground. Paris brings in reinforcements when Doyle is sick and Lorelai needs Luke to pick up the slack at the inn. Is this the beginning of the end for Lorelai and Rory's perfect relationship?
-
5x18 That's a Breakdown
Could this possibly be the worst episode of the season? We seem to think so. There are filler episodes, and then there's whatever the hell this was. The Stars Hollow Historial Society make one of the worst museums in human history and Rory, Lane and Paris are all having boy trouble.
Customer Reviews
Truly entertained
I’ve been an obsessed GG fan for 10 years now And have rewatched triple that. The show brings me comfort back as a child and now as an adult. I enjoy reliving it with Eleni and Jeffery (sorry if I misspelled) I feel I have new friends on my boring long drives to and from work . I appreciate new perspectives of the characters even when I don’t totally agree. Overall it’s enlightening and entertaining and I appreciate y’all a ton.
Side note : I don’t have IG or any other social media so all I picture when Eleni talks is Kat Dennings , in my mind you’re the same person . And Jeffery has curly hair. Don’t ask why that’s what I envision 😂
Love y’all!
Elani please stop interrupting
I enjoy this show and appreciate looking at it through a 2021 lense aka noticing racial, sexist, and political issues in the show. But, I am only a few episodes in and Elani has already interrupted Jeffrey like ten times each show. I will continue to listen but it is really getting on my nerves.
On season 2
So I am obsessed with GG and I would like say I agree with a lot that Eleni says (Dean is annoying AF).
I do feel at times the first half hour isn’t even about the episode they’re going to cover which can be frustrating.
Also, Eleni can be intense. I know I get passionate about certain GG topics but I have fast forward when it becomes too much.
Other than that, I’m learning and catching things I never have before which is awesome.
