Would there even be a Hep Alien without Lorelai Gilmore?But most importantly, would Lane feel supported to be her own cool, authentic self?

Did Lorelai use the Dragonfly Inn as a way to hide from her feelings (again)?   Plus, we dive into Lorelai and Sookie’s most epic fights, whether Sookie’s journey in A Year in the Life was realistic, and who could’ve taken Sookie’s place as co-owner of the Dragonfly.This is a preview of a bonus episode.

Rory Gilmore is playing dress-up for her boyfriend, and we’ve gotta unpack this! You can’t forget the Donna Reed night. The pearls, the dinner, the apron. But also, why did Rory go to all this trouble? Was it an apology, or a challenge? That Damn Donna Reed episode of Gilmore Girls brings up tons of questions: did Dean Forrester always want a tradwife? Did Rory simply parrot Lorelai’s opinions? Was this a healthy argument for two teenagers newly in love, or a surefire sign that were all wrong for each other? Today we dig deep into gender roles, 1950s TV shows, teenage love, feminine domesticity, Betty Friedan, Rory’s evolving feminism, and even Love is Blind.

We’ve long suspected that Jess Mariano is an Enneagram 4 - the individualist, the romantic. But today we’re going deep to see if we’re right! ✨ This is an excerpt from a paid episode - to access the full episode, join our Patreon, where you’ll get extra bonus episodes every month at patreon.com/gabbinggilmore ✨Jess wears a leather jacket, loves to read, and skips school a lot, but does this actually translate into his personality type? We also know that he hates chit chat, withdraws in times of stress, and has a deep feeling that he’s different from everyone else, or that something’s wrong with him. Knowing his personality type definitely would’ve helped Liz, Luke, Rory, (and even Lorelai!) understand him better. In today’s Gilmore Girls deep dive, we analyze Jess through the enneagram, including his stress and security points, and his wing (can we say Bohemian?!). And most importantly, why he’s so dang awesome in Season 6 and A Year in the Life.  Episodes mentioned:Jess, Welcome to Stars HollowReferences:Enneagram for the Culture Suzanne StabileAshton Whitmoyer-Ober👋Wanna share your thoughts?

Oof. In just 24 hours, Rory Gilmore faced two emotional gut punches - Lorelai and Christopher’s surprise marriage announcement, and Logan’s less-than-glowing reaction to her article. In this episode, we unpack one of Rory’s worst 24 hours: how these moments hit us as viewers, and how we’d feel in Rory’s shoes. First, we revisit the build-up: Lorelai and Luke’s broken engagement (did anyone check how Rory felt?) and the mounting stress that came after ending her term as editor of the newspaper and contemplating life after Yale. We ask:Were Lorelai and Christopher right to tell Rory about the marriage together?Why couldn’t Rory be vulnerable in front of her dad?How does this moment mirror her “ballerina” article from Season 4?Was Rory completely unaware of her privilege? What was Logan unwilling to recognize about himself?Grab your coffee and join us for a deep dive into Rory’s stress tendencies, her arc as a Yale student and journalist, and the mother-daughter tension on our favorite Stars Hollow show.Episodes referenced:Rory and criticism: does she have Golden Child syndrome?Why does everyone hate Rory?

✨ This episode is available to our paid subscribers, who receive bonus content every month. As much as we love this show - really, truly LOVE this show - there are a couple of episodes that bring us down. Sometimes we skip right over them, or fast forward.Today’s first episode in a new series called Episodes We Skip is A Vineyard Valentine in season 6. It sounds promising - a weekend away with Lorelai and Luke, Rory and Logan. But the weirdness is palpable: Luke is still dealing (awkwardly) with the April situation, and Logan has something he’s hiding. Meanwhile, Rory surprises us left and right. We discuss some of the character holes and inconsistencies: why doesn’t Luke know anything about Martha’s Vineyard? Why hasn’t he tried lobster before? Rory seems like a different person - going to the gym, cooking with ease - what gives? And what does this say about her relationship with Lorelai?Plus, Luke continues to be a “grumpypuss,” the ultimate crankster. Will he ever snap out of it?But don’t worry, we’ll try to find the redeeming moments of the episode, too: the sweet moments, the funny ones, and the moments that give us hope.  ☕ Show the world that you’re a Gilmore superfan with sweatshirts, tees, tote bags and more from our Merch Shop! 🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table.👋We’d love to hear from you.

Lots of people in the Gilmore Girls fandom say that high school Rory was too good for Jess, but adult Jess was too good for Rory. Is this true? Today, sisters and Gilmore junkies Jackie and Catherine dive into the nuances behind this idea. What does it mean to be “too good” for someone? Jackie has a 7-part framework for what she thinks it means!Once we heard the phrase, “Rory aged like milk and Jess aged like wine,” we knew we needed to get to the bottom of this. Can we appreciate adult Jess without putting Rory down? How do her accomplishments factor into this? And more importantly….should they? How does Jess’s troubled past contribute to their relationship problems, and much of a “pass” should we give him? Get ready, townies.

Paris Geller isn’t the only student to get involved with a professor on teen dramas. Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine explore the many (many, many) teen shows of the ‘90s and early 2000s that featured teacher-student relationships. There are almost too many shows to count. In addition to Gilmore Girls, we chat about Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, My So-Called Life, One Tree Hill, The O.C., Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars - whew! First of all, why is this such a common theme on teen dramas? How has our notion of consent, and what’s appropriate, changed over the years? We discuss whether these shows romanticize kids wanting to grow up quickly, teacher harassment, and how scandalous events of the late nineties inspired these ripped-from-the-headlines stories. And, excuse us, but did the girl from Pretty Little Liars actually marry her teacher??This is a topic best for adults, so if young ears are listening, we’d recommend popping in some headphones or airpods. Also, if topics like grooming and S.A. are tough for you, treat yourself kindly. To access this bonus episode for Gabbing Gilmore exclusive subscribers, join the Patreon community here.
