Season 2: Episode 13 "A-Tisket, A-Tasket"

previous // next

I find Dean hating Jess because "He's here, he's breathing. That's enough." very funny. I do not, however, find the whole town hating Jess in that way as funny because, you see, Dean is a teenager whose relationship with Rory is constantly being threatened by some guy who just popped out of nowhere and is CONSTANTLY trying to wind him up, the rest of the town are grown ass adults hating a teenager because he *checks notes* pulled a couple of harmless pranks? Even though his uncle and only current caretaker has been a staple to the town for his whole life, they can't even pretend to tolerate a 17 y/o boy for him.

Jackson getting so upset with Sookie because he didn't make it even remotely clear that he wanted to move in with her and she didn't realise because he didn't just fucking tell her is ridiculous behaviour and Sookie put so much work into that basket for Jackson to just let that go to waste because he was busy throwing a hissy fit. They could've talked about all that before Kirk got the basket. Also insane how Rory's crappy basket went for 90 dollars and Sookie's masterpiece went for 35.

Rory is such an idiot in this episode tbh, like either tell Jess to fuck off and go have lunch with your boyfriend or break up with Dean already and date Jess instead. Either Rory was making a dumb excuse to hang out with Jess, in which case she needs to stop leading Dean on and messing with his head already, or she really is stupid enough to let Jess get in the middle of her relationship because "It's tradition. 🥺" and she needs to follow the rules that bad.

Jess shouldn't have been screwing around in Rory's relationship in the first place and pursuing her when he knew fully well she was taken and he's a jerk, we know that, but tbh he probably would've given up at some point and moved on to terrorising some other poor unsuspecting couple if Rory didn't keep enabling him. Dean was completely justified in being mad in this episode, Rory gaslit him into thinking he was overreacting while going to lunch by the lake with another guy and flirting with him. Also she didn't have to go get pizza and go to the bookstore and spend the rest of the afternoon with Jess after their fake lunch by the lake, but she did, even though she knew Dean was already upset.

Lorelai and Dean both agreeing that Jess is the problem is ridiculous. Yes, Jess is flirting with a girl who is in a relationship, but Rory's the one in the relationship, she needs to commit to Dean, Jess doesn't. And she isn't so stupid and clueless like everyone seems to want to think, she has her own free will and she doesn't have to reciprocate, yet she does. Jess IS being a problem, but Rory isn't a saint either. Also Lorelai should not be getting involved the way she is, please fuck off.

Rory and Jess just have so much chemistry and so much more in common than her and Dean. I don't see them like long-term or anything because they were always kind of out of sync, when Rory was sweet and confident in her future, Jess had a lot of shit he needed to work on before he could be in a real relationship and when Jess had finally worked on himself, Rory was completely lost and he was too good for her.

What is this "dangerous vibe" that Jess aparently has? Like bro he's a little moody it's not like he's out there going on killing sprees and smoking crack, he got into 1 fight (not counting the later one with Dean because it hasn't happened yet) and he's 'dangerous'? The people of Stars Hollow would hate ME.

Other thoughts:

"Sold to the nice young hoodlum in the back for $90." 💀 Also Jess spending $90 just to fuck with someone is ridiculous and exactly the kind of thing he would do.

Jess's hair looks better fluffed up, idk why it's different in this episode and then normal for the rest of the show. Did he think copying Dean's hair (but botching it) would make Rory date him or smth LOL. Dean and Jess both have great hair (usually), I'm very jealous.

Dean saying "Buck" instead of just saying fuck is my 13th reason, what the hell.

Sookie is so beautiful everytime she's on screen I can't even think straight. She should've married me instead of Jackson.

Lorelai's outfit in this episode is one of my favourites from her:

Kinda giving me Nancy from Stranger Things vibes.

I really like that we see Jess consistently repeating the same few outfits. Because he didn't really bring many clothes. It's just a nice detail imo.

Lorelai needs to just ask Luke out already, this is getting ridiculous. I hope she paid him back for the price of her basket, but know she didn't. Also Luke is so real for "You don't eat with your mouth open, do you?" I HATE when people chew with their mouth open.

I felt really bad for Lane in this episode :(.

"You wanna push me in the lake? It's cathartic, I hear." "Maybe in a little bit." "Whenever." Love this interaction lol.

"Yes, Jess has a few issues." "Yeah, one issue is that he's a complete jerk." Get his ass Dean.

Lorelai just loves playing the victim.

Emily is ICONIC in this episode making Lorelai realise how fucking stupid she sounds.

y’all want some nightmares???? okay well anyway look at this walking doll that ‘sings’

[catenary-chad]

lack of leitmotifs is a funny problem I have with my protag Electra rewrite, No Comeback in place of Call Me Rusty generally works but to keep from getting repetitive I keep wanting to grab some suitably weird public domain tune to fill in other spots. Magnetic Rag seems like an obvious choice but it’s just too of its time and moves around too much melodically, weirdly enough Dido’s Lament is what I keep settling on
