Fast-talking shows
Apr. 10th, 2021 04:37 pmAfter the whole ‘wait, this is your finale?’ thing with Scorpion, I looked to see what was next in my DVD boxset pile, and it’s Gilmore Girls season 5. (‘Stars Hollow sounds like just the sort of place I want to be mentally, I thought.’) So, I rewatched the last two episodes of season 4 and ( spoilers )
I found it a little difficult to catch all of the visual nuances, especially in the outdoor scenes, but got to terms with it, but man, that really is some fast-paced dialogue. (And I’ve been rewatching The West Wing) I looked up to see how much detail I’d gone into when watching Gilmore Girls on DVD in the past, and realised I watched season 4 in 2016. No wonder I’d forgotten things. I don’t even want to think when these episodes were actually shot and aired. But it’s particularly funny to think of all I’ve seen Sean Gunn and Melissa McCarthy in subsequently.
I’ve been going back over my posts on rewatching The West Wing’s first season (and editing as I go, which was sorely needed as I managed to mistype ‘typos’ and ‘idiocies’ among many other words.) My feeling was that it was a strong start, I enjoyed ‘The State Dinner’, ‘Take This Sabbath Day’ apart from that one line of dialogue that pulled me out of the episode, ‘Celestial Navigation’ (although I think the point about ( spoiler )
I think I’m going to plump for ‘In Excelsis Deo’ as my favourite as it gave me the most feels and no quibbles. I have listened to the slightly spoilery podcast with Aaron Sorkin, a substantial chunk of which was about ‘Sports Night.’

Wallowing in Stars Hollow
Nov. 21st, 2016 06:17 pmGilmore Girls – the rest of season 4
I meant to be good and write up my thoughts about the episodes on each disc of the box set, but frankly, I preferred watching the episodes than doing so, but having seen them all and with ‘A Year in the Life’ about to drop here they are…
And yes, I was finally poked into finishing this by the realisation that Netflix is dropping 'A Year in the Life' on Friday. I hope that those of you who have Netflix and are all caught up enjoy it. For my part, I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm not spoiled by the time I get around to watching it on DVD, after the seasons I've yet to watch. Netflix have been making a big push for the show in the media that I read, even if I don't remember the show getting much traction in the UK when it was being made. I knew about it because I was watching shows from the same stable, but I only physically saw it on repeats on Nickelodeon or something like that.

Catching up with the Gilmore Girls
Oct. 2nd, 2016 08:24 amWhile the rest of the world is getting ready for Netflix to show the new series, I’m catching up on season 4. The backstory is that I saw a few episodes of the show on Freeview, really enjoyed them and got the DVDs, season by season, to watch it in order, but I watched season 3 in cough – well, I’ve looked up and seen I didn’t mention watching it on lj, so let’s say a few years.
Now that I’d finished Deep Space Nine season 2, this was the next TV show on DVD on my literal ‘to watch’ pile (at this rate...) I rewatched the last episode of season 3 to reorient myself and then dived in. ( spoilers up to 4.4 'Chicken or Beef?' )

I liked this stuff, perhaps you'd like to read or watch it too.
