My candy love ep 91/27/2024 ![]() Lorelai: You're giving me a Valerie Cherish, you know, an " I don't wanna see that!" It's a great show. I wonder what she would have to say about the 2014 revival that somehow didn't win Lisa Kudrow an Emmy. Lorelai and I are in total agreement on "The Comeback," an HBO show that premiered in 2005 and was cancelled after one season. In general, listening to Jackson talk for more than ten seconds is just punishment for Lorelai's worst offenses. I would feel bad about this if not for Jackson's Tomato George "Kansas" accent. Lorelai makes Sookie and Jackson sit through an uncomfortable dinner with her and pissed off Luke. Just look at how Lane lovingly serves this grilled cheese. I wish there was a TV show wormhole that would allow Claudia Kishi to enter Stars Hollow and become Lane's new BFF. Lane deserves much better than Rory, a budding narcissist who drops by only when it's convenient for her. She makes Rory lunch and performs endless emotional labor, including awkwardly lying to Lorelai and telling Zack to shut the fuck up about his paper towel tallies. Rory is still temporarily crashing with Lane, whose love language is most definitely acts of service. Number of times Rory or Lorelai treat their BFF like shit: Since when does she suppress her own opinions for someone else's benefit? But also, what the fuck was Luke thinking? Even if I were 100% certain of my partner's design preferences, I wouldn't make any huge changes to our shared home without consulting him, especially if they involved cherubs straight out of "The Haunting." Lorelai's hesitation to tell Luke the truth about his grandmother's bedroom set feels out of character. Even if Rory didn't want to detail her issues, she could have told them something generic like, "I've decided that it's time for me to make up with mom and go back to school." They probably still would have been upset, but not enough to go on a private plane sadness shopping spree. I'm no fan of Emily and Richard, but leaving their house without at least a brief explanation is the definition of passive aggressive. Here is Sookie's piss-poor Fashion Bug rendition: Did she borrow the hideous, brooch-adorned shrug from Lorelai? The far right image is more my style if I were like 25% cooler. Katie Sturino's outfit (middle) is like a combination of Sookie and Lorelai's style. ![]() Even though I don't love the trend, there are some instances where I think it works well: This could look cool, but it would have to involve better proportions and a more figure-flattering dress with a pattern that isn't headache-inducing. I don't understand Sookie's penchant for layering dresses on top of jeans. ![]() Or hell, even the storyline they went with might have worked had the writers actually made April a unique character and not a more sciencey, outgoing version of Rory at her most precocious. Or he introduces Lorelai to April right away and is jealous of their closeness. Like maybe Luke catches feelings for Anna (Sherilyn Fenn), April's mother, and rethinks his relationship with Lorelai. I'll get into this more in later recaps, but I don't necessarily think it's a horrible idea to introduce Luke's long lost daughter as a plot twist if it opens up interesting storylines. "The Prodigal Daughter Returns" is directed and written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. ![]()
