Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls-Episode 3x9, Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving, Part II

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! NINJA MARIANO ATTACK! The Pea Soup Vomit coat makes its triumphant return (and possibly its last appearance?) In the spirit of Thanksgiving, perhaps he will return it to the Savlation Army reject dumpster from whence it came, to beclothe another down on his luck Victorian orphan.

It's never too early for some good old fashioned public macking.

Rory Gilmore, World Class Public Macking Self Saboteur: But but but...what about Dean?! If anyone wonders why I often go weeks without updating these things (and I'm sure this is something that keeps you all awake at night)... I've been stuck writing this piece for over two weeks because I plum ran out of new and novel ways to complain about this idiot in the red coat's continued preoccupation with Dean. Like, how many times can I say I want to smack her over the head with a rolled up newspaper like a disobedient dog? You're killing me here girl.

Rory, you're a dumbass. And also you're frigid. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, you should put out and let Jess stuff you. One of your legs is Thanskgiving and the other leg is Christmas and you should let him spend time between the holidays. I know having to look at the pea-soup-vomit coat is probably putting a damper on your libido, but you can take it off of him, I promise he won't mind. He's quite touch starved, that boy.

You wish, pal. Seeing as there's no high speed internet, premium cable porn, or dirty magazines to be found anywhere in Stars Hollow, a little street show might provide some tittilation to the sexually constipated residents of The Hollow. R: Yeah, you know, in the the street...with people watching... J: Go on...

Wow, this screen shot is a real beaut. Look at this gorgeous curly man. Someone should give me a gold medal in pressing the little button on the browser extension that takes screen shots for me, an award that is both real and possible to achieve. Shout out to GoFullPage. Why is his collar popped up so damn high? Is he trying to protect his neck from vampires?

R: We shouldn't flaunt it. J: But I want to flaunt it. R: It doesn't feel right. J: He's a big boy, Rory. It's not the first time a couple has broken up. R:It is for us. J: This is insane. Edit: Thank you @ernestonlysayslovelythings for reminding me that Rory is claiming she doesn't know how to manage her first breakup when Dean The Clod had actually dumped her twice by this point. She should maybe go and eat two beach pails of Ben and Jerry's ice cream over it again if the wound is still that raw.

WHAT doesn't feel right, Rory? Kissing your own boyfriend? Not that I'm unhappy you kinda sabotaged your relationship with Dean in order to get with Jess, but you did kinda sabotage your relationship with Dean to get with Jess. Now that you have him you're treating him like a collectible beanie baby, puttng him under glass and refusing to remove his little tag. Take him out. Play with him. Rough him up a little. Bring him to show and tell. Put him through the wash. For goodness sake.

Narrator: And they would never experience a single moment of comfort together ever.

By the time Millennials like me and Jess and Rory here are old enough to qualify for social security, there will be nothing left. So, yeah, never.

Me, outloud: Girl you are demented. Oh Rory, I don't know what you're so worked up about. I mean, what's Dean gonna do if he sees his ex girlfriend kissing someone else? Stalk her new boyfriend in an alleyway late at night and call him The Glad Man? Pshaw.

Narrator: Things did not get better over time. In fact, they got much, much worse.

ARRRRGH.

BREAK HIS LEGS DEANIE BREAK HIS LEGS AND MAKE HIM EAT THEM!!!!

[funemployed-fangirl]

Lorelai's hyperfixation on Rory attending Harvard stems from her own disappointment at not being able to go to Yale as she had always planned. Rory states that the Harvard obsession started when she was 2, at which point an 18 year old Lorelai would have been jealous of her friends' exciting college lives. Her resentment towards her parents and their "big plan" for her combined with her own personal grief and shame over what could have been, ultimately manifesting in a shift in focus away from their beloved Yale and towards competitor Harvard. In this essay I will...

GILMORE GIRLS (2000-2007) 3X09: A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving

[jessmalia]

Mal's Gilmore Girls rewatch: A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving 3.09

[not-with-you-but-of-you]

Is there a gif of rory and jess ever dancing? (Or is that another scene we never got to enjoy? )

Sadly, yeah, that’s another scene we never got to see 😔. If the writers had let them go to prom, then it probably would’ve happened, but alas… Maybe the closest thing we got to it is when Rory kisses Jess in front of Luke’s diner in A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving — the way they’re slightly swaying as they kiss always reminds me of a slow dance :’)

3.09 "A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving" GILMORE GIRLS (2000–2007)

[thefirst3chapters]

The Literati Double Date episode might be "Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving," technically! 😂 And it wasn't awkward at all, really (except for Rory's discomfort with how to navigate PDA in a second relationship, but that is SO not a big deal compared to the other two episodes, haha). But maybe that's because Rory and Jess bypassed the "double date" and skipped right to "family dinner." 😆 (And I love it. Every time all four of them are together, it feels like the most natural thing in the world to me)

Oh yes, they all look like they're exactly where they're supposed to be at that (unfortunately short) Thanksgiving dinner! The scene with the four of them in "Fall" has a similar tone as well. I guess if the writers wanted to write a traditional "double date" for them they would've needed to come up with another idea besides "Luke can't stand Rory's boyfriend despite Lorelai trying to convince him to be nice," haha. That set of matching promotional photos with Luke, Lorelai, Rory, and either Dean or Logan is so hilarious to me because they look like family portraits, but those groups only really spend time together in the respective episodes that both go so poorly. Especially since Lorelai and Jess's animosity has diminished so much by the AYITL era, I like to think that there's many years of Bop-It-free family dinners in the Javajunkie + Literati future.

Don't they look like they're already married here?

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, 3x9, A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving, Part IV

I just realized the winter carnival episode is next and tbh I'm pretty stoked about that one.

Ugh, someone left Gilmores on my front porch. Fetch me my broom. Shoo! Shoo! At Thanksgiving number one, we find out Lane is spinning yet another tangled web of lies to ensnare Soggy Rygalski (my new pet name for him, don't ask). Mrs Kim thinks Soggy is actually in a Christian band that Lane discovered through church and not a sinful rock band. Mrs Kim serves Tofurky and I feel as if our little vegetarian diner rat would have enjoyed that.

Welcome back, Soggy.

Dang. When Rory sees how people like her mother and Luke and Mrs Kim treat their employees, it's no wonder she doesn't want to get a job! Bad dum tssssh. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.

Why did I remember that scene as being a lot longer than it was? It lasted less than three minutes. Weird!

Onward, from Soggy to Sookie.

"According to the National Fire Protection Association: deep fryer fires cause an average of 5 deaths, 60 injuries and more than $15 million in property damage each year. Deep-frying turkeys has become increasingly popular, but the new tradition is a recipe for holiday tragedy."

Men, eh? One minute they're lying about turkey preparation and the next they're lying about having a vasectomy.

Rory looking gravely concerned or lost in thought as usual. Thinking deep thoughts about frying. Asked Sookie not once but twice "What do you use the oil for"?

Granny creakily rising from her lawn chair to join the hordes of Jackson's screaming white trash relatives has to be one of my favorite bits in this episode (maybe the season?) so far.

Gather round, white trash young and old. Your king has arrived.

THE FACES!

This whole scene is top notch. I tip my hat to you, Miss AmyShermanPalladino. After departing the white trash jubilee, it's time to circle back to Lukes. I know small business owners are hard working people who don't always have the luxury of shutting down and taking a break, but do you think he ever closes the diner? For anything? Christmas Day? Yeah, I'm sure ya'll can name a few times on the show where he closes up shop (would actually be interested to hear what they were). It wouldn't matter. He'd try to close on Christmas Day and the Gilmores would show up anyway and demand to be served instead of drinking eggnog in their own home. For Christmas, Lorelai should buy Luke a massage. (A LEGITIMATE MASSAGE. You filthy readers).

Mommy Daddy please stop fighting

*smashes Jess and Rory together like I'm 9 years old forcing two Barbie dolls to make out*

Alarming to see Lorelai treat Jess this nicely because I worry she may be ill. Or possibly delirious from hunger (she didn't eat at Sookie's or Lane's, she threw out Mrs Kim's tofurky and just gawked at Sookie's house). It looks like Luke was nice enough to give Jess the day off, but Walmart (and its Hunger Games-style Black Friday festivities) may still be calling. Is this the first real, hot, home made, lovingly prepared holiday meal anyone had ever served him in his entire life? (I'll give partial credit to The Bracebridge Dinner). No street wieners for Jess Mariano this Thanksgiving! Jess says he's starving, but Luke told him not to eat until the Gilmores arrived first. That's some grade a bullshit.

All he wants this Thanksgiving is for his fellow white people to Check Their Privilege. Good luck with that, Lucas.

Serving lewks. Luke has just served the table four heaping plates of hot food and upon hearing that the Gilmores will be trotting off to the McMansion next, presumably to eat way fancier, he says they can just throw everything the fuck out and drink soda if they want. Kay... Jess: Please, Uncle Lucas, don't take away my hot meal. I'm ever so hungry.

A screen shot of Milo eating makes a great gift or any holiday or special occasion.

How DARE you Lucas. You are not going to make my poor tired boy serve coffee to the Gilmores on Thanksgiving Day! Lorelai's your ball and chain, you do it.

Yeah, what a pity that not everyone can kiss like Dean.

"You and Jess are a couple of chickens pecking each other." Yooo, it's about time you pick a lane, Lorelai. You're confusing the poor girl. The last time an adult got wind that Jess and Rory were about to peck like chickens The Incredible HulkLuke smashed down the door and put those two chickens out to pasture. Rory: Mind your own business. Lorelai:???????? I assure you she does not know the meaning of the phrase. R: I'm not good with public displays. L: You didn't have that problem with Dean Me: Trying fruitlessly to remember any scene where Dean and Rory passionately made out in public or showed any sort of affection with each other anywhere that Lorelai could see it R: I don't know how this first second boyfriend thing is supposed to go. L: Well he's your first second boyfriend so give it time. R: The whole town got used to me with Dean. L: It'll get easier, you'll have hundreds of men. Well maybe not hundreds. A couple. Three more. Dean again, Logan, then Logan again. L:They'll adjust to seeing with you Jess! R: What do I do about Dean? L: Well he'll move on too. All this sensible advice coming from Lorelai? It is truly the Thanksgiving of Miracles.

God bless you, Babette. God bless you.

The next scene, a Friday (Thursday) Night Gilmores Showdown at the McMansion goes on for around 8 minutes which is going to feel like more than an hour in Salty Time. I'm going to wilt.

what are your top 5 comfort episodes of gilmore girls? explanations would be lovely

Oh gosh. So, one thing about me is that I HATE ranking things! 😂 I always feel very anxious and indecisive about it, but I want you to have a happy birthday, so I will do my best! Just know that these are in no particular order and I'll probably remember another one that I wished I had included later on, haha. Ok, so...

The Bracebridge Dinner. It's so cozy! It's Christmassy and there are sleighs! My favorite couples have cute moments in sleighs! I have to ignore Lorelai and Sookie constantly calling this Renaissance-themed dinner "19th century," but hey! We can't all be perfect!

Deep-fried Korean Thanksgiving. Another holiday-themed episode, I guess. I don't know, it's just really well-written! There's Lane and Dave being adorable, Sookie and Jackson being hilarious, one of Rory and Jess's best kisses, and the Gilmore Girls+Diner Guys family meal that I like to believe is a foretaste of things to come...

A Tisket A Tasket. This baby has it all! Cat Kirk! Wacky Stars Hollow shenanigans! Significant shipping moments with Javajunkie AND Literati, including TWO adorable book conversations between Jess and Rory! Listen, when I said this has it ALL, I mean that this one episode has (for Literati) the "intellectual soulmates," "forbidden love," "boy picks up a trinket belonging to the girl and pines over it" Romance stuff that makes me FERAL, I get so high off that stuff... 😂

There's the Rub. You know the biggest appeal of this one, and of course it's: Rory, Paris, and Jess all sitting around the table arguing about books and sharing fast food together! 🥺 Sigh! I wanted MORE of that! But I confess I also find the Lorelai and Emily storyline in this episode really entertaining, haha.

Ok, I'm making myself pick one that's NOT Literati-or-Seasons 2/3-centric, so...

The Festival of Living Art! I don't know, I know it's one of those episodes where nothing really "happens" plot-wise, but I just adore the whole goofy premise of it! The art tableaux! Lorelai's cellphone going off during her performance when she FINALLY had the role she's been coveting for years! 😆 Kirk being Christ at the Last Supper and it IMMEDIATELY going to his head... "YOU JUDAS!" 😂🤣 *Sigh!* It's just a classic.

So there you go! That's my definitely-not-definitive list for you! 🖤

“did you ever had someone kiss you in a crowded room and every single one of your friends was making fun of you?” but it’s about jess & rory’s kiss in a deep-fried korean thanksgiving when lorelai & miss patti were teasing rory about the kiss
