Zomer in Stars Hollow

Lorelai is quite fond of winter, but I am a diehard summer team. I also get to enjoy a bit in ‘A Year in the Life’. And your reporter had some thoughts about it, you know. So this.

  1. Belly aaaalert, Lorelai and Rory are body shaming away by the pool in Stars Hollow. Yes, because it's summer. And how on earth do you get a nice tan with pants on, milady? Standing ovation for that Southern accent, by the way.
  2. Welcome back Rory, because even if you say otherwise... Your presence does feel a bit like being back.
  3. April, you are so handsome. Okay, minus your pants in an undefined color with pockets on the side (the horror) and reggae hat, but who cares.
  4. Was that table in Lorelai's kitchen always so small or has it shrunk? Luke, fix it. Build. Do what you're good at.
  5. Can I go to binge-watching jail? Seriously, that sounds like my ultimate vacation destination. Just swap that water and bread for some wine and cheese and I’m your perfect prisoner.
  6. How god-awfully scary is that thirtysomething gang? Seriously, I’d rather go out with the director of Stars Hollow the Musical.
  7. Speaking of that director. His apathetic appearance is seriously the classic White Walker. So freaky. But then if you also show up with Khaleesi, HAIL. One of my favorites is talking about my other favorite, it's one big party, that summer. Now we just have to wait for the next Game of Thrones episode where the Queen of Dragons orders a cup of Kofi Annan (ha, yes still my favorite silly-can't-really-joke).
  8. “I’m not back fat… uuuh Pat.” I almost choked from laughing, muahahaha.
  9. But Miss Patty, where is your other half and what diet did you pull that off with? Goodness, you are a walking billboard for your weight loss guru.
  10. Okay, a. I want a magical desk too and b. since when do Rory and Lorelai drink like dockworkers? The Scotch is flying around you.
  11. That musical, how endless can something like that last? I'm not really a numerical authority, but consider this: summer lasts about three months, an episode lasts 90 minutes, and that means a week covers about 7.5 minutes. That fucking musical lasted 10 (yes, TEN) minutes. So I just watched a musical for over a week. Well, I can tell you: that's how it felt.
  12. But that ‘maaaaaaan buns’ and ‘Poe-poe-poe-poetin’ was indeed funny. You can't miss a chance to make jokes about man buns and the Russian president.
  13. Taylor Doose, that man. It always feels like he pokes at your already overstimulated, painful, nagging nerve. Every. Single. Time. But then you wonder: what would that man be like in real life? Nothing, zip, nada to trace. Except that he lives in Seattle. Taylor, prove me wrong.
  14. YEEEEEEEEESSS. I told you, I told you. Jaw-dropping Jess is back. And according to good news custom, that should be celebrated. Bring on the Scotch. Grain is indeed a food group. Just in case you think all your editors spend all day getting tipsy, that's not the case (hic).
  15. Oh, and he also brings along a fe-no-me-naal idea. A BOOK. Hello, well written, Palladino’s, well written. And you should just make a series out of that book. Not such a crazy idea, huh?
  16. Meanwhile, a population group of unknown origin is squatting at the Gilmore house. Berta (who is also Gypsy, yes indeed) is importing her whole family.
  17. ‘Turn left at the Gundersons.’ What is it with cemeteries that you are always lost? I don't go there (thankfully) often, but my Gilmore Girls make a strong point here.
  18. What is a ‘Lipitor’? Anyone? Hello?
  19. Have you ever pulled a reflex bell? It's a thing, you know, that you suddenly can't do anymore. And then those hundred thousand moments when you normally did hit you hard. Yep, adult stuff is hard, dear Lane and Rory.
  20. And Lorelai is sometimes a bit fragile too. But to now do ‘Wild’ the book? Shit, I thought I was done with the movie, but now I also have to read the book. Thanks a lot.

It's over again, that beautiful summer. See you in the fall.
