The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Season 5/ Episode 9 "Four Minutes" – Recap and Review (with Spoilers) | Finale https://tinyurl.com/2jwndpzg

[frazzledsoul]

Asking a few people their thoughts on this! Sticking only to the original series run, excluding AIYTL and excluding any visions you may have heard AmyShermanPalladino herself had for this scenario, what is your personal vision of what would have happened to Jess and Rory had Milo not left the show at the end of s3? Would they still have broken up at the end of season 3, then gotten back together later, or stayed together? Are they going to somehow date the entire time Rory is at Yale (it's incredibly unlikely he's going to go to Yale with her, so what are they going to show him doing in his early 20's pre-Truncheon?) Some arc where their relationship is more on and off and they date other people? Thoughts please.

So I'm not sure what Amy was thinking asking Milo to sign that big contract. I can't imagine that there ever would be a compelling reason for Jess to stick around Stars Hollow, and while she might be willing to invent a workplace and some co-workers for Truncheon for a single episode of the show, it's highly unlikely she's going to want to do that as a plot thread full time if those characters are never going to interact with anyone else on the main set. It's just not plausible.

However, putting all the logistical issues aside I don't think they would have stayed together. I think the class issues alone would probably have defeated them and Jess needed to go out and develop his own identity. He can't do that if he's just the guy on the fringes of her (more boring) story. He needed to figure out who he was on his own. And that entire story was probably too much for this show.

However, if ASP had kept Milo around I guess she wouldn't have had to inflict Jason (sorry Jason) and his scintillating insurance industry storylines on us as an excuse not to hook up Luke and Lorelai.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, Season 3, Episode 13- Dear Emily and Richard-Part 2

Lorelai receives a call at the inn from some old fogey who wants them to host his retirement party, but he can't settle on a theme for the party. Michel, much like Jess moments earlier, is triggered by a minor work inconvenience and unveils a detailed plot to first hobble his knees then bury the man alive in what is turning out to be a dark, dark timeline. And we haven't even gotten to Crusty yet. It's a pre Halloween horror fest!

Lane is just hanging out at the inn for some unknown reason, helping Lorelai make decorations? And listening to Michel's gruesome murder plans and not saying a word. Meanwhile Lorelai has sent Rory on a mission to fetch Dean. Oh, here they are now!

Get it? It's a Big Red Flag! Teehee! Rory shows up with an invitation to Creepy Sherry's Scheduled C Section Extravaganza.

February 7th! Hey, that's my birthday! Welcome to this cruel cruel world, Gigi, my fellow Aquarius. Your mother is Absent Sherry and your father is Absent Crusty and Rory is your Completely Uninterested Absent Sister. Oh boy are you fucked! Good luck!

*SIGH* *opens Googs* Laura Mercier is apparently a brand of makeup. It still exists today, and now that I've made the connection, it does sound vaguely familiar. Demerol is a painkiller.

Yah, that's the spirit, Rory. Much enthusiasm. Gigi would be 21 this year. Maybe Gigi also pulled a Jess, booked a good therapist in her late teens, threw off the shackles of her childhood trauma, and made millions with some kind of art at a young age so she could shrug "She's sort of my sister" about Rory while rolling around on a waterbed covered with 8 million dollars. Jess:"Rory is sort of my cousin."

Crossing off "Delicious Looking Fake Food" and "Millennial Pop Culture Reference" From my Bingo Card. Actually, we have a rapid fire 4x MCPR (Millennial Pop Culture Reference) blitz in under a minute. As always, there is likely some underlying context to these jokes that are going over my head so feel free to correct me. Let's go girls. Beanie babies-#1.

Oh stop, Lorelai. We know Rory doesn't do anything to earn money.

MCPR #2. Adrian Zmed is (was?) an actor and she is implying that he'll "do ridiculous things for money, including his whole career". Did she mean "Milo Ventimiglia"?

MCPR #3. I'm counting "another reference to a time when Amazon was only selling books" as a MPCR (Millennial Pop Culture Reference). Turns out the boxes were filled with a bunch of travel books from Emily.

MPCR #4. Paris and Nicky Hilton. The Simple Life had just come out that year. So is the joke is that like Emily & RIchard, Paris and Nicky Hilton are also Rich People Who Go To Europe? That's about where the similarities end as far as I'm concerned. Meh. I'm saying that AmyShermanPalladino could have come up with a better pair of Rich Snoots to compare E&R to. Boo! Write better jokes! Anyway, as L&R are perusing the travel books from the 80's, Lorelai starts to reminisce about her childhood while I go take a nap.

SUCH bad casting. Bleh.

Heh heh.

The big problem with Teen Crusty's actor is that besides the physical resemblance to David Sutcliffe being phoned in long distance, this geek is way too sincere and not nearly slimy enough to make me believe he's a Young Crusty/Sutcliffe. He's not some devil may care walking red flag wrecking Porsches on purpose and impregnating dopey girls on freezing cold balconies. Boo! Bad casting! BOO! He looks and sounds like he's late for a meeting to preside over the algebra club. As for the actress playing Lorelai, B for effort. She's trying. It's just that no one is really going to pull it off. You're not going to get some random young bubbly brunette actress to fill Lauren Graham's shoes and call it a day. Big shoes to fill, in my opinion. Young Crusty is shown to be the one who has to convince Lorelai to break off the shackles of rich people prison, ditch college, give a big middle finger to their parents, and run away to Europe. The only time he's shown some kind of initiative or vision for his life is when he was 16. Perhaps Lorelai is having some kind of false memory here.

They said the name of the episode in the episode, time to cross off another space on the ol Bingo Board. Cutting back to Reality, reading Rich People travel guides has made Lorelai dreamy about traveling like a rich person now, and she no longer wishes to explore Europe living like a squirrel, so hoity toity hotels it is. But she has no money. Womp womp. Cut to Chilton where Madelyn and Louise are needling Rory about Paris' boyfriend Jamie. Then another meeting of the ol Franklin. You know what that means. Time to skip skip skip to my loo!

I'll just assume "Paris and Rory sexual tension" occurs and knock that one off my bingo board too. During said sexually tense school newspaper meeting, Rory gets a call on her ancient cellphone from Creepy Sherry's work colleague to inform her that Sherry went into a labor a week ahead of her planned c section. This ride or die friend repeatedly calls Sherry's slightly early natural labor "a screw up". Creepy Sherry's psychopath colleague wants Rory to leave school, find transportation and accompany her father's girlfriend that she barely knows during her childbirth at a hospital miles away from her home.

Come on Rory. Say no to somebody's completely ridiculous, unrealistic, borderline psychopathic demands. I believe in you. You can do this...

As as personal aside, Rory accompanying Creepy Sherry during labor was one of those things I became convinced was a false memory in the long time periods between rewatches. I was certain I had dreamed it and it never really happened. This happened with a few scenes tbh. When that happens, I feel a slight sense of self-vindication. See, me? You were right me!

WIG REVIEW: THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL

You guys, I finished watching this and yes, it is marvelous! But as a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, I would expect nothing less from the Sherman-Palladinos. And Mrs. Maisel is much like Gilmore Girls in that they both have alliterative titles and are about fast-talking, smart, funny, pretty, impulsive, and usually self-destructive women. The differences are that Mrs. Maisel is set in 1958 and therefore doesn’t include as many pop-cultural references per second (though it does include many phrases that no one uttered in 1958 - I’m almost ready for someone to say “turnt” in one of these episodes….get it together Amy S-P!) and Mrs. Maisel (Midge if you’re nasty) has the opposite of a close relationship with her kids (to the point where I might actually want to call child services?). BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WIGS? Let’s discuss.

As Midge Maisel, Rachel Brosnahan is pretty marvelous (with a title like this, I guess marvelous is the adjective to always use?) and very pretty and pretty funny. Her wig, however, is total nonsense. Despite every scene of this 50s explosion of a show looking like it cost ALL THE MONEY, as usual, the wig budget seems to be bupkis. 

In some shots, this monstrosity is hidden under a hat or headband which covers the main issue of the subpar texture and seamwork. 

But for the most part, the flaws are right out in the open, just as any flawed Sherman-Palladino heroine would have it? 

Seriously, though, it’s bad, and as the season progresses, it gets worse and worse. The texture is so dried out and the part is just downright awful.

I think the only time Midge’s hair looks ok is when she’s been out in the rain on a bender (same?)

It should be mentioned that Midge’s mom also has a wig and it’s not as bad but it’s also not great. Tony Shalhoub as Midge’s dad is REALLY GREAT THOUGH. Also Kevin Pollack plays Midge’s father-in-law and I’m just really glad he’s getting work even though he has to suffer through a flashback wig sequence that I couldn’t find a picture of but that is probably for the best since as usual men’s wigs are always the worst.

Speaking of the worst, Midge’s husband/soon-to-be-ex-husband (?) Joel is absolutely the worst. I didn’t include a picture of him on this blog (instead please enjoy another pic of the wonderful Tony Shalhoub) because I hate him so much. Even more than I hated Lorelei Gilmore’s ex (AND THAT IS A LOT). At one point, someone calls him Sal Mineo (SICK BURN) and I truly hope that in Season 2 he goes the way of Sal Mineo - aka I hope he’s stabbed to death in a dark alleyway and then 40 years later his name is used as a comic punchline. Too harsh? Nope, this character is the pits. 

However, Alex Borstein as Susie, Midge’s manager is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AND DESERVING ALL THE AWARDS. Not only does she deliver the Sal Mineo sick burn but about 1000 sick burns per episode. I’m also a sucker for any narrative involving two women from opposite walks of life becoming friends and realizing their own potential through said friendship. AMEN SISTERS. STILL, LOOK AT THAT EFFING AWFUL WIG ON MIDGE.

In conclusion, do yourself a favor and watch this show because it’s really charming and wonderful despite its flaws (MUCH LIKE ANY AMY SHERMAN-PALLADINO HEROINE), however one of its major flaws is the wigs. Throw some more $$ at the wig budget next season, Amazon! Lord knows I throw enough $$ on random orders of crap every week for you to afford it! Put it on my tab!

VERDICT: DOESN’T WURQ

“I think AmyShermanPalladino inserted this smoking guy to make it look like Rory was in a rough part of town.”

Im screeching, in all the years I’ve been a Gilmore girls fan, I’ve never noticed this guy and now it’s all I’m gonna think of when Rory cuts class 😂😂😂😂😂

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, Season 2, Episode 21- Lorelai’s Graduation Day, Aka Lovesick Stepcousins In The Big City, Part 3

I'm cheering Rory on as she leaves school grounds, leaving these 35 year old classmates in the dust, and as she manages to pull it off under the eyes of two teachers or administrators. Yes yes yes! Well from here on out it's going to be pure Literati appreciation with only minimal anger and rage, you know, my usual shtick. That being said, when that happens I start to sound a little disjointed, like, this episode is so pure and precious and enjoyable that I really don't have much snarky commentary on it and I can just watch it. What am I without my snark powers?

Destiny awaits. In one of many examples of what I call "Gilmore Girls Poor"*, which is a term I coined myself for how AmyShermanPalladino views lower/middle class/urban/city life, Rory manages to end up in the Port Authority Bus Terminal in another dimension. The Alternate Dimension, 100% white, Spotlessly Clean, Nearly People-Free New York City Bus Terminal where she stared down a scary dude without being stabbed and she was offered a locker to store her book bag. (*More examples of GGP: In season 4, Jess is 19 years old, a high school dropout, and is living in a clean, rat and roach free, enormous New York City apartment with working utiltiies and large windows that in today's housing crisis people would murder him to get, he just needed a bed frame and to pick his shit up off the floor but we are supposed to believe its a crack den; Rory and Lorelai live in a beautiful home and eat take out and restaurant food every day on nothing more than an innkeeper's slary)

This was cute. Rory the little mouse getting ignored by city folk. I love it so much.

I think AmyShermanPalladino inserted this smoking guy to make it look like Rory was in a rough part of town. Someone finally gives our little mouse an abrupt answer on how to get to Washington Square Park where she can meet her stepcousin and her destiny.

The little smirk before he turns around! And then, and then...and then...the big grin when he sees her!

I am STARVING for stepcousins!!!!!! ..And the Emmy Award for the whitest words ever spoken on teleivison goes to Alexis Bledel, as Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls:

Baring his naked forearms like a saucy strumpet. Book sticking awkwardly out of his back pocket. He either finds the smallest books or has the roomiest ass pockets that he keeps pulling that off. How does he do that?

This is all so precious and pure I could die.

He is RAPT with attention listening to her silly stories. Show me where Dean or Logan ever paid this much attention to her telling one of these stories.

We know, Bubs. We know :(

Red alert! Red alert! Our first display of physical contact!

Jess says he eats from this hot dog cart every day. Let's unpack this: 1) Holy child neglect, Batman! I mean, Liz Danes. You can't even make your kid a peanut butter and jelly sandwich once in a while? This boy is feral. These are survival hot dogs. This may be all he can afford to eat on his own. 2) How are you still as skinny as a rail? 3) How's your blood pressure? 4) Where are you getting the money?

This sweet bubba unquestionably paid for Rory's lunch like a true gentleman.

I refuse to acknolwedge any sort of Behind the Scenes Hollywood mumbo jumbo like "Milo wasn't ACTUALLY eating the hot dog" or “umm, it’s a prop hot dog”. i am firmly committed to a scenario where everyone on the set for this episode was like "Milo our precious vegetarian baby boy we will get you a tofu hot dog to eat"

Ending this chapter with this adorable face.
