| Rory wouldn't be the valedictorian, she messed up a test/paper when she first started. Paris probably had a higher GPA. |

People who really ate like that would not be that slim.
A single mom running a b&b in a small town with no financial help from anyone would not be able to have a designer wardrobe for herself and her teenage daughter. |

Did Lorelai only take tuition money from her parents? I just started watching GG recently, no particular reason. Season 1 is like a time capsule. |

That's what the show tells us - it's a point of pride for Lorelei. She manages a small town inn... it's not exactly a well paid job. |

+1 They need to calm down. |

Their humorous grownup repartee. Especially considering that Rory was a child, and their relationship was that of a mom and a daughter
Unrealistic and cringeworthy. |

| Rory was the parent to her teenage mom. And when she started to make not-so-smart decisions, it was because she had the mom that she had and the grandparents that she had. |

That’s the Sorkin walk and talk. Not that it shouldn’t annoy you, but it’s not an accident |

| I could not relate or bear how the mother talked to the daughter like they were peers. |

| The reunion shows. I only watched one episode. The dance teacher had gastric bypass and looked like a skeleton with extra skin draped over her and Loralei had the worst case of cat face from injectables. Rory (who clearly doesn't even do botox -respect) had more wrinkles than her mom. |

You're clearly not from NYC. I talk that fast, as does a lot of my family, as do a lot of my friends. |

It’s not a Sorkin show. And on actual Sorkin shows, the characters are usually extremely well-educated professionals in very fast-paced, demanding jobs. So it makes more sense, at least, even if it’s still not very true to life. They also draw from references that few people, other than TV writers I guess, would get. They’ll reference Bjork, the Bronte sisters, and the Bubble boy in the same breath, and the other person will immediately know exactly what they are talking about. It’s absurd. |

Yeah, I really disliked this show. And it showed disordered eating. The only way you could stay thin eating all of that is to develop an eating disorder. |
