I smiled, and even laughed. Genuinely. The last time I enjoyed a new TV show this much it was Firefly. I don't like Gilmore Girls as much as Firefly, but I do like it more than pretty much every non-Firefly TV show I've seen.
I must admit, though, that part of my enjoyment might be that I find Lauren Graham quite attractive.
But still, if I had to sum up, I would basically say: Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
OMG!!! Obviously kat has gotten ahold of twinky's account and is making crazy out-of-character posts again!

Must. Watch. Veronica Mars!
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
So I guess they're doing new episodes again. Which means I'm sad I missed the latest episode. Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I believe I was seeing reruns. At the end of the second episode I saw they said there'd be a new episode in a week or something.
Posted by esl (Member # 3143) on :
You had me worried, too.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
They haven't had a new one in weeks. Tuesday was the one where Rory decides to do the article on that secret group at Yale.

Hah! This is totally my favorite show these days. Just bought the first two seasons on DVD and I've been raving about it on my LiveJournal for awhile. Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
There's a thread with your name on it, dude. Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
But they talk SO FAST!
Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
The fast talking is totally one of the best parts. Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
But then you try to quote it, and it comes out so much slower than they do it, and you feel like an idiot.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
For me it's the deadpan and the constant reference-dropping. Especially the deadpan. Also the repartee, which I admit is often delivered quickly (but the quick delivery is not what I like, it's the content).
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
Gilmore Girls + Veronica Mars = A wonderful night of snarky television.
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Do they ever do repeats of Veronica Mars? I liked the first two or three episodes I've seen, but Tuesday nights is NOT a good night for TV for me.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I've never heard of Veronica Mars. What network airs it?
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
UPN, but it's good.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
We don't have that up here. I wonder if any Canadian networks air it...

Posted by vwiggin (Member # 926) on :
If your local station doesn't carry it you can try downloading it through torrents.
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
I've seen almost all the episodes from the first 4 seasons (except one from season 2). What can I say, I'm addicted! Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
What is Veronica Mars about?
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
quote: After her best friend is murdered and her father is removed as the town sheriff, Veronica Mars, dedicates her life to cracking the toughest mysteries in the affluent town of Neptune.

JNSB:
Gilmore Girls starts with new episodes on January 25th.
I just knew you'd like it, twinky. This is seriously a wonderful show. I just bought the second season.
It's out there. And it's wonderful.
Michel: Why did you tell her that I don't eat carbs? Lorelai: I'm sorry! I thought you and your mother were close! Michel: You assumed! And you know what happens when you assume! Lorelai: What? Michel: I don't know - something about a donkey. Some stupid American phrase. But the point is you stole my Giselle and turned her into a mother!!
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
How many seasons are there?
Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
It's currently mid-way through season five.
----- Lyrhawn:
There's absolutely no shame in watching Gilmore Girls.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Even for guys?
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
Nope. The plethora of geek references make us safe.
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
No. The shame is in admitting to it.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
*admits*
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
I guess I don't get it.
The actors in the show don't seem to so much act as say their line(s) as quickly as possible so that the camera can cut to the next person and they can then, quickly, say their line(s). Repeat this formula from the beginning to the end of the show. Also, the dialogue tends to be in the style of "no one speaks while another is speaking" which always strikes me as incredibly fake and not really fit for drama.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
It depends on what you're looking for. The quick exchanges remind me of Firefly, and that alone is enough to make me like the show. Now if only it were set in space...
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
I love Gilmore Girls too, but I've got gymnastics practice when its on... Posted by Lady Jane (Member # 7249) on :
Last night wasn't the greatest episode storywise, but it was hilarious.
Posted by Irami Osei-Frimpong (Member # 2229) on :
It's a little too "Aw shucks" for me to commit to seriously, but when GG and Desperate Housewives finish their run and come out on DVD, I'll be sure to rent them. I don't think that there is anything shamefully feminine about watching witty women. Then again, despite the Governor's talk of girly men, I don't think that there is anything shamefully feminine about anything important.

I like Gilmore Girls. One time, someone told me I was like Rory (I think I spelled that right) from Gilmore Girls. I took it as a compliment. Of course, she could have been trying to tell me how opinionated I am.. *shrug*
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
A friend asked me to record Gilmore Girls for her when her VCR was out. I think it was when Smallville was on right after anyway so it wasn’t a problem in the least. But I watched. Now I’m hooked. It’s so witty with the sarcastic humor. I love it!
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Irami, the first two seasons of Gilmore Girl are on DVD already.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I can't find the normal discussion thread (one link I had said it's no longer available.
What did you think about the season finale? ..... .... ... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ... .... ..... Rory dropped out of Yale, and is living with her grandparents. Lorelai proposed to Luke? I'm just not sure what I think, but i can't wait for the new season.
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
when does this season come out on DVD? I missed SO many episodes!
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
It's an OK show, and I'm always entertained when I'm watching it, but soap opera style shows always turn me off. I'd rather my melodrama have capes, thanks so much.
(PS. I don't like Smallville either, which makes my above statement ironic. But it's only because Smallville started to suck. BIG TIME.)
Posted by Minerva (Member # 2991) on :
I think there's gotta be something more to the Rory situation that we didn't see. Like she's pregnant or sick or something. Because there is no way that Richard and Emily would let her give up so easily otherwise.
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
I don't understand why they acted like the only choices were for her to drop out or go back next semester. Lots of schools let you take a semester off.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I think she probably is taking a semester off, not actually dropping out, or maybe two semesters off.
I don't think she's pregnant or sick, they would have added that into the cliff hanger like her in a doctor's office or throwing something into the bathroom trash.
Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
I wonder if Lorelai is serious about asking Luke to marry her.
I wonder what Emily and Richard will think about the proposal.
I wonder if Luke will try to get the Twickham House back.
I wonder if Jess will show up for the wedding.
I wonder if Rory will go back to journalism or will do something wacky this summer.
And I wonder the same thing RRR did about Rory's choices AND why Jackson's vasectomy was treated so lightly (with him being told basically that he's getting it done right now).
Posted by Shanna (Member # 7900) on :
Smallville was good the first two or three seasons. Then it fell apart. I don't know how OSC can stand it anymore.
I hate cliffhangers. Its just mean to make us wait for the new season of Gilmore Girls.
GG cracks me up. After all these seasons, its still as funny if not funnier, than the first episode. I hate that its so under-rated.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
it's underrated? Hmm, I agree with most stuff JNSB said.
