Gilmore Girls - Again

It's been well over a year since I watched the season 3 finale of Gilmore Girls with Annika. Life has happened in the meantime. Annika and I used to live in the same house, only a short walk down the hallway to each others rooms. But then I moved out of the house into a basement apartment a 10 minute walk away. And then Annika moved to a house with her husband and soon to be born baby a 30 minute bus ride away. And as if that wasn't enough to put a crimp into our plans to squeeze an episode in here and there, then she gave birth!

So, that seemed to be it for the grand re-watch of Gilmore Girls. We always had plans to get back to it, but we'd need to really make plans for it, make an afternoon or even an entire day of it. And we never did do a good job of planning it. So, here we are more than a year later and I've still only ever watched most of the entire run of show just once, when it aired.

A few months ago, while recording my podcast on webseries, I kind of insulted the writer of the webseries we were reviewing and he got in touch with me and answered some of my questions. As it turned out, he was a regular on Gilmore Girls for years and also commented on my enjoyment of the show. And then it turned ugly... as I continued to get facts about the show wrong, he continued to call me out over it. And now I've been shamed on the internet for my lack of knowledge of Gilmore Girls.

Thankfully, a friend came to my rescue and loaned me her complete box set of all 7 seasons. But since I'd been getting facts from even the first three seasons wrong, I decided to just start again. And now, here I am again... finally into Season Four of Gilmore Girls.

Now, how long before Luke and Lorelai kiss already!
