it’s time to get this baby showered - and you’ll hear all about it in Season 7, Episode 16, Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore? Lorelai mediates peace between the Kims but it gives us a touch o’ the old existential Angst, we proclaim Mommies Need Parties For Themselves, and most importantly, everyone keeps their outside shoes off the bed. 

Note 1: Sorry about all the ai talk, this podcast is officially staunchly ai DO NOT get it twisted

note 2:  I talk somewhat disparagingly about twin boys in this episode, but I want to be clear - all babies are beautiful gifts from the lord or whatever, it’s specifically that Lane having twin boys in the context of her punishing storyline provides further alienation and othering, not that twin boys are inherently alienating. Well I mean maybe, I don’t know. I guess a little, probably. But its not their fault! THESE twin boys are fictional which means they're purposeful which means they're malicious. Anyway ily love my twinzzz - Z$

Rebecca Rand is back in the saddle and we are wheeling this episode through town, bedknobs and broomsticks style, to bring you Season 7 Episode 15, I’m A Kayak, Hear Me Roar. Richard is being a sassy lil bitch, Lorelai and Emily bond over Quicken, Lane has an amazing baby shower (and thank god) and as always, we are trying to get an invite to Paris and Doyle’s sensual partner yoga. Join us for a ride along!

NOTE: We originally recorded 15 and 16 together, but we ended up having enough to say to make them into two separate episodes, so we end up holding on FMK at the end of this one, and if you hear us talking about "taking a break", that's why. We'll be back next week with S7E16!

This episode is the episode we want to want - we’re talking season 7, episode 14 “Farewell, My Pet.” Let’s say our fond adieus to Michel’s dog, Christopher and Lorelai’s marriage, and Rory’s good taste in men. Honorable mention in this eulogy to Paris belly dancing to keep our collective spark alive.

We’re covering Season 7, Episode 11 - Santa’s Secret Stuff and Episode 12 - To Whom It May Concern, where we have basically the same conversation with Lane that we do with Sookie, as it turns out, everyone’s pregnant and miserable! Christopher has to be a time traveler who’s found himself trapped in a murderous loop, destined to forever desire to destroy the inhabitants of stars hollow, yet he remains unable to seal the deal. Anna Nardini can go suck eggs.

Well folks, the horrors continue! In this episode we tacking S7E9 - Knit, People, knit! and S7E10 - Merry Fisticuffs. We start out by Truman Show-ing the resients of Stars Hollow, forcing them to face the futility of their coziness facade point blank, and its uncomfortable! Follow that up with a tall hot serving of Girl Give us Nothing, save for an extremely homoerotic “fight” between Luke and Christopher in the town square that starts with eye effing and the tearing off of shirts. I’m tired of this, Grandpa! And it’s too damn bad!

Your hosts are in the trenches now but by gum they’re determined to muscle through season seven, episode seven French Twist and episode eight Introducing Lorelai Planetarium. We wrestle with Christopher’s obvious seething hatred of his now enfianced, the double down on Lane’s pregnancy, and the decimation of Rory’s childhood bedroom. Saints preserve us, there’s still so much more to go!
