Speaker 1: I am all in.
Speaker 2: You. I am all in with Scott Patterson, an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Everybody Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast special little segment.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to some fans. They're gonna call in,
Speaker 1: They've got their questions. I can't wait. I love these things.
Speaker 1: I love the fan Q and a kind of my
Speaker 1: favorite thing to do. Uh So let's uh, let's bring
Speaker 1: in Sea and find out what she wants to know. Hi, Sia, Hi,
Speaker 1: how you doing it? You're you're calling in from where
Speaker 1: you're all the way from Greece. Oh my goodness, what part.
Speaker 3: It's the co capital of the country, the Salami.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that is that's fantastic. So hello, welcome,
Speaker 1: nice to meet you. You're very welcome. What is your question?
Speaker 4: Okay, my first question is what did you think was
Speaker 4: the main factor. It's just maturing over the years.
Speaker 1: Just maturing because I think when you screw up that much,
Speaker 1: when it's so clear that you have horrible parents, Okay,
Speaker 1: when you're when it's just sort of obvious for that
Speaker 1: long and your entire childhood is sort of trying to
Speaker 1: reconcile that fact, it dawns on you that you need
Speaker 1: to just sort of disconnect from it all and you're
Speaker 1: going to have to do it on your own, and
Speaker 1: then that you find a certain strength. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what happened to him, because he knew that the
Speaker 1: he's obvious, very bright, he's obviously has a good heart.
Speaker 1: He was just he just had to get away from
Speaker 1: those two people and and find out who he really was. Uh.
Speaker 1: And he was noble enough to understand at that tender
Speaker 1: age that he was wrong for Rory, that he was
Speaker 1: just going to damage her and get her off her path.
Speaker 1: He he because he needed to. He understood he needed
Speaker 1: to work on himself. And I think that he worked
Speaker 1: on himself very hard and very diligently and successfully obviously,
Speaker 1: so he really came out the other side the way
Speaker 1: you hope some a young person coming from that background
Speaker 1: comes out of it. You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it was tough for him.
Speaker 1: We can pick our friends, we can't pick our parents, right,
Speaker 1: you know, So it's I think the sooner you accept
Speaker 1: it and stop trying to make it right. And I
Speaker 1: think he just he understood that he had to move
Speaker 1: on and just make that psychological break and work on himself.
Speaker 4: Did you think he had anything to do with Rory.
Speaker 1: I do, I do. I think she gave him a
Speaker 1: taste of what could be in his life. Maybe not
Speaker 1: with her, but when you taste such sweet fruit and
Speaker 1: such nourishing fruit, you know, when you're touched that deeply
Speaker 1: by love from somebody of quality whose heart is in
Speaker 1: the right place, Yeah, that's life changing. Life is love
Speaker 1: is very healing. And I think you know, she sprinkled
Speaker 1: a little fairy dust on him. And you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if she's one hundred percent responsible for his success,
Speaker 1: but she had something to do with it. You know
Speaker 1: for sure that that rocked his world. She rocked his behind.
Speaker 1: Every great man there's an even greater woman and U
Speaker 1: and that was his great woman. And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: Laura l I had some good influence on him too,
Speaker 1: So there's two great women behind him. So he got
Speaker 1: lucky that they cross paths. And I think his uncle's
Speaker 1: pretty good too. I think Luke, uh, I think I
Speaker 1: think Luke had a nice influence on him. And in
Speaker 1: his way, you know, in his archaic, stumbling way, I
Speaker 1: think he provided the tough the tough love that.
Speaker 2: He needed exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but time is it.
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 4: It's too six A.
Speaker 1: M Oh, my goodness, man, that's that's kind of late.
Speaker 1: All right, well, listen, thanks for calling in. We really
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 4: And thank you for having.
Speaker 1: Me and keep listening. I will definitely nice meeting you.
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you too.

Speaker 1: of people tell me it's there going to work commute podcast.
Speaker 3: I have over an hour drive to work. One way,
Speaker 3: you guys have the perfect amount of episode time. I
Speaker 3: can get episode review in or one pop culture and
Speaker 3: one guest interviewing.
Speaker 1: Nice. Wow, We're glad you're enjoying it. What is your question?
Speaker 3: So my question you sort of actually answered it in
Speaker 3: your turn podcast a few months ago now, but maybe
Speaker 3: you're using more now on just season five or even
Speaker 3: a year in the life, if you kind of remember
Speaker 3: where we are heading, what are your hopes for Luke
Speaker 3: or any other characters that stand out to you? As
Speaker 3: you venture into the last two seasons.
Speaker 1: I hope Luke gets what he wants and which is
Speaker 1: a family, which is children with Loralai. And I know
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen, but.
Speaker 2: There's still time. I say, there's still.
Speaker 1: Time at this point. Geez, Yeah, he might jump out
Speaker 1: of his wheelchair and right at this point, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm really pulling for him. I know it ain't happening, but.
Speaker 4: One can hope.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: By the way, can I give you a quick idea?
Speaker 3: By the way, sure, if you ever stop in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: drive an hour outside just east of Pittsburgh to live
Speaker 3: in near Pennsylvania. It is the most stars hollow place
Speaker 3: you will ever go to in the real world. They
Speaker 3: have they literally have like historical stuff all the time.
Speaker 3: They have festivals and they have a gazebo in the.
Speaker 2: Middle of town.
Speaker 1: So I find that a lot of the Northeast has
Speaker 1: stars hollow like you know, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Vermont,
Speaker 1: New Hampshire's they've got very stars hollowey.
Speaker 3: You can tell Palladina has got their influence for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, oh yes, oh yes, anyway, thanks for listening,
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. In and uh go Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Bye Lord, Hi Jessica, hy God? How how you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm well, thank you for having me on your pod.
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. You're very welcome. Where are you calling
Speaker 1: in from?
Speaker 4: Kissimmi, Florida?
Speaker 1: Ohim? Is it kiss me or Kissimysimmy? Kissimi?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: It's Cassimmi, Florida. Yeah, I was just somebody was some
Speaker 1: friends of mine were looking at a house. The houses
Speaker 1: in kissim I love. They love the houses there, they
Speaker 1: love the neighborhoods, they love everything about. It's right outside
Speaker 1: of Orlando, right, Yes.
Speaker 5: I'm minutes from the park, like eight minutes from Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 4: All right, right, right here.
Speaker 1: Right, you're a little bit south, right, kissimm is a
Speaker 1: little south of Orlando. Yeah. Oh that's terrific. So so
Speaker 1: what is your question or questions?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: I have two of them.
Speaker 5: Okay, if you were to do a spin off, now
Speaker 5: mm hmm, did that look like and would you consider
Speaker 5: not being the lead character but being a supporting character
Speaker 5: to the employees at.
Speaker 1: Luke's supporting character of the employees at Luke's.
Speaker 4: No, so oh, no, I know what you mean.
Speaker 1: No, I would want to see a spinoff called The Huntsburgers,
Speaker 1: because I think that they're wacky and wonderful and wild
Speaker 1: and funny and crazy, and that would make for interesting television.
Speaker 1: And I think I think Luke would have a role
Speaker 1: in that, but not the lead. But I would like
Speaker 1: to interact with those people on some level because I
Speaker 1: just the scene, the dinner scene where they destroyed Rory
Speaker 1: when she came over for that engagement dinner, Logan's sister's
Speaker 1: engagement dinner. I was one of the best scenes I've
Speaker 1: ever seen on Gilmour. It was just hysterically funny.
Speaker 5: But you're characters married to Laurelize, so you would intertwine
Speaker 5: because you know Rory, well, you're not, you're in the
Speaker 5: life yet, right right right?
Speaker 1: I mean, so you're saying, if Logan and Rory were
Speaker 1: to get married, and Laurel and I are married, then
Speaker 1: it's all sort of sort of relatives. We're all we're
Speaker 1: all family. Yeah, we'd have we'd have to interact with
Speaker 1: each other.
Speaker 4: So you would be off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why not?
Speaker 5: I mean, I uh, especially if he's the daddy. Let's
Speaker 5: say that he were and your father.
Speaker 1: Right right, yeah? I mean more zany high jinks to come.
Speaker 1: I mean, just think of all the situations with this,
Speaker 1: especially with the Huntsburgers.
Speaker 7: Oh Man of the Huntsburgers, Right, Luke were Rory's real
Speaker 7: dad with his advice to Rory b about Logan and
Speaker 7: the Huntsburgers.
Speaker 1: If Rory was her biological father, Laura I and Luke
Speaker 1: had gotten together at sixteen mm hm oh boy, well,
Speaker 1: that would be a whole different situation. I mean, would
Speaker 1: she be at Yale, would she have even met a Logan?
Speaker 1: Let's say she did. I would probably have gotten in
Speaker 1: my truck and gone to the Huntsburgers and punch somebody
Speaker 1: out for talking to her that way, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I would have gotten in somebody's face. Luke
Speaker 1: would have gotten in somebody's face.
Speaker 4: I agree. I agree with yeah for sure.
Speaker 5: And then my last one is if you could watch
Speaker 5: a movie of one of the followings, what would it
Speaker 5: be Dosie's Market, Red White and Read Movie Theater, So
Speaker 5: does Shop or Shoppy how Amy calls it?
Speaker 2: Or Miss Patty's Dance Studio. Which one would it be?
Speaker 1: Taylor Dosi? Yeah, I love him. I think it's hysterical.
Speaker 1: I'd watch a Taylor Dozy movie every time.
Speaker 4: He's great. Yeah, I need more tailor, all right.
Speaker 1: So listen, thank you. You were a delight and we
Speaker 1: might be in touch very soon. You never know.
Speaker 4: We'll have a blessed day. And that she is Queen Amy.
Speaker 5: It's not just queen's and yelling Queen's Are.
Speaker 3: You say that?
Speaker 5: Real Gilmore girls fans would not misbehave.
Speaker 4: And so when she said that.
Speaker 5: Her feelings were hurt, I felt bad because he has
Speaker 5: her opinions.
Speaker 1: So right, I agree. I completely agree.
Speaker 5: My homegirl, because I agree with her most of the time, right,
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 1: We don't expect everybody to agree with this one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the time. You know. We take our shots too, right,
Speaker 1: and we get some feedback and that's fine, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's all good. Anyway.
Speaker 5: Just let her know that I I will bye.
Speaker 1: Definitely do it. Thank you. Jessica, Hi Jill, how you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm doing well. How are you good?
Speaker 1: Where are you calling in from?
Speaker 4: Just outside of ann Arbor, Michigan.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm going to be in motor City at
Speaker 1: MotorCity Comic Con in November November I think eleven and twelve.
Speaker 1: But I'm coming up your way. Nice, Yeah, I'm coming
Speaker 1: up to Michigan. How's the weather?
Speaker 4: Absolutely beautiful? Really, it's been in the mid seventies all week.
Speaker 4: I guess next week it might get up to ninety.
Speaker 4: But other than that, mid to late seventies, it's been.
Speaker 1: Great, right anyway, So what what? What is your question?
Speaker 4: The first question is, and this is for episode twenty one,
Speaker 4: why do you think Rory so quickly accepted Mitchum's rejection?
Speaker 4: And do you think it might have something to do
Speaker 4: with her being in a relationship with Logan because she's
Speaker 4: had a lot of criticism in the past. I mean,
Speaker 4: Doyle gave her criticism and she moved past that. So
Speaker 4: why do you think this is such a special I.
Speaker 1: Think this is a situation where it's a Godzilla versus Bambi,
Speaker 1: and I think Godzilla misbehaved here. And I think when
Speaker 1: you've got a young, impressionable, super positive force in a
Speaker 1: Rory and you are in that kind of a position
Speaker 1: of power, you do not say what he said to her,
Speaker 1: and if you do, it can be devastating. And obviously
Speaker 1: it was. I don't care how strong a person you are,
Speaker 1: if the number one person in the world, the most powerful,
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful people in that business or
Speaker 1: whatever business. It doesn't matter if journalism or you know,
Speaker 1: you know, pick your category. If somebody says you ain't
Speaker 1: got a kid, that's gonna hurt. I don't care who
Speaker 1: you are. I don't care if you're you know, a
Speaker 1: big tough guy or you're you know, you're a very
Speaker 1: stable person with a huge support system. That's gonna hurt.
Speaker 1: That is a knockout blow and it's going to cause
Speaker 1: anybody distress. And I think especially somebody like Rory who
Speaker 1: and we just discussed this, you know, ten minutes ago.
Speaker 1: We just finished recapping twenty two. Somebody that has Christopher
Speaker 1: DNA in them, who's a known quitter, a known screw up,
Speaker 1: and DNA to me is destiny. And that's just kind
Speaker 1: of how it is. I mean, it's programmed into her,
Speaker 1: it's hardwired into her. So she was, but nobody, I
Speaker 1: don't care who you are, is gonna it's the rare
Speaker 1: person that's as at that age, at that stage in
Speaker 1: their life and their career is going to say, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna prove them wrong, right right, don't believe that's
Speaker 1: the rare person.
Speaker 4: And do you think it's also because she just got
Speaker 4: rejected by the rest of the family, and then Mitch,
Speaker 4: you know, tries to make up for it, and then
Speaker 4: there's a new rejection from him as well.
Speaker 1: So you can't ask for a worse scenario for Rory.
Speaker 1: I mean, talk about just getting manipulated and abused and
Speaker 1: then abused again and manipulated and then the then the
Speaker 1: knockout punch. I mean, it's like man almost almost a
Speaker 1: criminal act. Can't really file charges against somebody for something
Speaker 1: like that. But I mean, uh, I just think if
Speaker 1: somebody did that to my kid, they'd be hearing from me.
Speaker 1: They'd be hearing from me anyway. That's how I feel.
Speaker 4: About it, Okay, Yeah, And then the second question will
Speaker 4: apply to kind of the end of the season. How
Speaker 4: do you think Laurla would have reacted to Luke's quest
Speaker 4: to purchase the Twicklam House, especially now we know what
Speaker 4: that last sentence she says in the end of the season.
Speaker 1: I don't quite get where It's almost like the writers
Speaker 1: have a problem with this idea of Luke and Laurela
Speaker 1: having children. I think, are they trying to make it so?
Speaker 1: In my mind is are they trying to make some
Speaker 1: kind of a statement that it's okay not to have kids,
Speaker 1: and you can have a great relationship in aver and
Speaker 1: you can, I mean, but for Luke and for you know,
Speaker 1: this kind of idealistic love that they this romantic love,
Speaker 1: this this fantasy love that he has or they have
Speaker 1: or they're supposed to have, aspirational love, aspirational relationship. He's
Speaker 1: been waiting so long and then it then it works
Speaker 1: out in his favor when it's so many times it
Speaker 1: doesn't work out for guys like that, right, they just
Speaker 1: suffer and silence their whole lives, and they end up
Speaker 1: with bad backs and they're sixty or sixty or seventy
Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't they talk about They sit
Speaker 1: at bars and they talk about the one that got
Speaker 1: away and how beautiful she was, and she may want
Speaker 1: to marry this guy, you know, but it worked out
Speaker 1: for him and now he wants to have children. So
Speaker 1: and I know that they don't. I haven't seen season
Speaker 1: six or seven, and I haven't seen three of the episodes,
Speaker 1: but I know that they do not, and I just
Speaker 1: think it's a failure of the imagination and I and
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't even think it was the
Speaker 1: obvious next step for them, and that it could have
Speaker 1: been fraught with you know, a lot of obstacles and
Speaker 1: a lot of controversy and a lot of tension and
Speaker 1: a lot of love. And I just think you gotta
Speaker 1: just inject it with not necessarily what the fans want.
Speaker 1: But it's hard watching a character struggle for that long,
Speaker 1: for such an important occurrence in somebody's life is getting
Speaker 1: into a relationship some of they truly truly love and
Speaker 1: wanting to express that having children. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: think it's very sad and it's a way for us
Speaker 1: to really, you know, empathize with Luke, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: give the guy what he wants for us.
Speaker 4: So had he told, say, he was able to purchase
Speaker 4: the house, and he brought that up to her, what
Speaker 4: do you think her reaction would be Because we saw
Speaker 4: her initial reaction to the pregnant he scare. You know,
Speaker 4: we don't know if she would would have wanted more
Speaker 4: children and she and she didn't necessarily know that that
Speaker 4: was what he wanted. And I know you did. You
Speaker 4: did argue that it was very obvious and it slipped
Speaker 4: right right, it.
Speaker 1: Did slip out. What about the kids? Oh god, it
Speaker 1: came out. I think what they're trying to say, the
Speaker 1: people that run the show. I think what they're trying
Speaker 1: to say is it's okay to have a relationship, it's
Speaker 1: okay to be in love, it's okay not that kids.
Speaker 1: She already has a kid. He already has a kid.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know it yet, you know, he doesn't know
Speaker 1: he has a kid yet. I mean, I know she's common,
Speaker 1: but I think they're maybe trying to make some kind
Speaker 1: of a statement.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I have one more question. If you could
Speaker 4: choose one character to get more of a character arc
Speaker 4: throughout the series, who would you choose to have that done?
Speaker 4: So many characters, that a lot of potential.
Speaker 1: Such a good question, that's a really great question. Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean, take your pick. I would have loved to
Speaker 1: have seen more and miss h more of Bebett because
Speaker 1: Sally is just such a brilliant actress. She's so good,
Speaker 1: she's she's so good that it's weird how good she is.
Speaker 1: I think Michelle is a dish best served as an appetizer.
Speaker 1: I think they tried to do that with him with
Speaker 1: the Winnebago stuff, and it just didn't work. And maybe
Speaker 1: it was just because that was ill conceived, But I
Speaker 1: just I really do think he's a He's a side dish,
Speaker 1: and he needs to stay a side dish. I think
Speaker 1: Kirk is is used quite properly. We don't need to
Speaker 1: see more of it. I think. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: kind of on the fence about Taylor. I think he's
Speaker 1: good as where he is. I think I think I
Speaker 1: think it comes back to buy Bett. What do you think?
Speaker 1: If who do you what character would you like to
Speaker 1: see more developed? Actually, Luke too, I wish they'd developed
Speaker 1: Luke Moore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Luke had a lot more opportunity. I mean, they
Speaker 4: could have shown him outside the diner more. I know
Speaker 4: that was kind of the central space of Stars Hollow, but.
Speaker 1: Showing they developed they developed Lane better than they developed Luke.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: They developed a lot of people better than they developed Luke.
Speaker 1: But I guess they wanted him to retain some kind
Speaker 1: of mystery. I don't know. Who do you think?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of agree with you with Luke, and
Speaker 4: that does that kind of gets at the fourth question
Speaker 4: I had that it was gonna be if you could,
Speaker 4: if you could have written how the show closes on
Speaker 4: Luke and Lorelei's relationship. How would you have written it? Obviously,
Speaker 4: I know you wanted to see them get a true
Speaker 4: wedding and having kids. Would you wanted to see them
Speaker 4: you know, like Laurel I has currently at the end
Speaker 4: of season five, she has these opportunities to grow the business.
Speaker 4: Luke had the franchise opportunities for a little bit there.
Speaker 1: I believe in happy endings. I do not believe in this. Well,
Speaker 1: that's reality and we needed depict it. Clearly they had
Speaker 1: taken license with reality and in a very positive way.
Speaker 1: I'll never understand why they didn't take that opportunity to
Speaker 1: give the fans what they wanted. Ever, I'll never understand it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree with that.
Speaker 1: A massive missed opportunity to really, you know, hit it
Speaker 1: out of the park with this show. I mean, that
Speaker 1: would have been I mean, you think the popular the
Speaker 1: show continues to be popular for many different reasons. I
Speaker 1: think it could have been exponentially more popular had they
Speaker 1: done the episodes, or at least the end of season
Speaker 1: seven as a massive wedding, massive the entire town involved
Speaker 1: with the episodes. You know, do three and a half
Speaker 1: of the episodes out of the four the wedding, before
Speaker 1: the wedding itself, and then after, So this would have
Speaker 1: really tied anice bow around it because I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know that we're going to do it again. I
Speaker 1: don't know that the band is going to get back
Speaker 1: together again. I don't know if the will is there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the schedules gonna jibe. I'm on
Speaker 1: a news series. I'm busy, you know, and everybody else's
Speaker 1: too so and everybody's getting old. Man. I don't know
Speaker 1: if would work again. But uh yeah, just you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta scratch your head. Gotta scratch your head. It's
Speaker 1: all you can do.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to the recap of the end of
Speaker 4: season five.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a hum day.
Speaker 4: It's a lot going on there. It's a two and
Speaker 4: a lot to come in the next season, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: So right, thank you so much, Jill.
Speaker 4: All right, than you so much.
Speaker 1: All right, take care you too, by all right bye. Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm Marissa. How you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm great, nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: Good to meet you too. Where are you calling in from?
Speaker 2: I am curly in Bloomington, Indiana, But.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I was just in Indianapolis. Oh really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I spent the weekend there at Indie Popcorn.
Speaker 2: Oh awesome, yeah, cool.
Speaker 1: Like your necklace? What is that?
Speaker 2: Thank you? So some flames and a low cross.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2: Nice, awesome.
Speaker 1: So how's life in Bloomington?
Speaker 2: It is great.
Speaker 6: I'm a student at Indiana University program.
Speaker 1: So, oh, great college life. I understand that it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful campus.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so beautiful. All you down too?
Speaker 1: About what forty thousand strong?
Speaker 2: It seems about. So it's really busy this year especially.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what are you getting your degree in.
Speaker 6: I'm getting a master's in Arts administration. Okay, yeah, I'm
Speaker 6: an undergraduate was in music.
Speaker 1: So oh you're a musician. Fantastic. All right, Well, so
Speaker 1: it's I dabble, I do dabble. But so what do
Speaker 1: you have for us, you guys? Some questions?
Speaker 2: Yes, I am interested.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 6: Earlier in the season five podcast, you discussed how you
Speaker 6: were kind of unsure if you would liked the direction
Speaker 6: that this show is heading since the end of season
Speaker 6: four into the beginning of season five was a huge
Speaker 6: turning point for a lot of characters. So after watching
Speaker 6: all of season five and breaking it all down, has
Speaker 6: your mind changed, and how do you feel about it now?
Speaker 1: I like anything. I really like the Huntsburger infusion, if
Speaker 1: you will. I love the story what it did for
Speaker 1: the series. I love how Logan interacts with Rory with
Speaker 1: his own family. I think that family is just as
Speaker 1: wacky as it gets. It's fun to see. It's really
Speaker 1: fun to see crazy people on screen and they're all nuts.
Speaker 1: I love it, and that makes for great television. That's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite. That dinner scene when they were
Speaker 1: tarn Rory apart, painful to watch, painful for Rory, but
Speaker 1: boy was that funny. I mean, those people, it's as
Speaker 1: as fans as watching the show, You're like, Rory, you
Speaker 1: cannot take these people seriously. They are out of their minds,
Speaker 1: all of them. And you know, you got you got
Speaker 1: maybe a good one with with Logan because he knows
Speaker 1: he's in a bad situation and he's trying to extricate
Speaker 1: himself from that wreck of a family, and I just
Speaker 1: I just thought it really kind of saved I don't
Speaker 1: know that the show. I mean, season four was very strong,
Speaker 1: but this is my favorite season so far. And the
Speaker 1: finale I thought was fablous, fabulous and you know it was.
Speaker 1: It's now beginning to take on a much heavier tone.
Speaker 1: It's taking on some tragic proportions as regards Rory and
Speaker 1: that I've never felt such dramatic weight towards the end
Speaker 1: of an episode. We've never seen Rory like that. So
Speaker 1: it's it's quite jarring but really compelling television. I think
Speaker 1: it's really great television.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I totally agree this. It brings a new
Speaker 6: dramatic color to the show that we've really seen very
Speaker 6: much before. Right, I think it's interesting.
Speaker 1: But I think, yeah, I think that's what they do best.
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Palladinos do best. They give
Speaker 1: us a really fun ride for thirty five minutes, right,
Speaker 1: and in the last five minutes because it's you know,
Speaker 1: let's say fifty five minutes with commercials, and then in
Speaker 1: the last five minutes they just wallop you with some
Speaker 1: really heavy stuff. And I just it's so impactful, isn't it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it really resonates. It's like, wow, so yeah, excellent, you laugh,
Speaker 1: you'll cry, you laugh, you cry, you laugh, you cry,
Speaker 1: and then boom. Yeah, I know I was tearing up
Speaker 1: when you know that moment between mother and daughter looking
Speaker 1: at her unpacker stuff and Richard's poolhouse. I mean that
Speaker 1: was I mean, you know, if that doesn't make you
Speaker 1: tear up your battery powered.
Speaker 6: Right, that is such a powerful moment.
Speaker 2: That's after you watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that stays with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: And also I feel like when you're rewatching the show,
Speaker 6: because I've seen the show a bunch of times rewatching it,
Speaker 6: it still has that same impact every time you see it,
Speaker 6: even though you know what's coming.
Speaker 1: Right, because they're so dense. These episodes are so dense,
Speaker 1: it's easy to forget every little detail, you know, And
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it. They're so dense. They're so
Speaker 1: packed with humor and quippie lines and yeah, themes and
Speaker 1: storyline and all this kind of stuff. It's just just
Speaker 1: beautifully done, beautifully woven. Yeah, I really agree, mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And an offshoot, do you think that the dinner with
Speaker 6: the Huntsburgers. Of course that impacted Rory and you know,
Speaker 6: had a huge emotional impact on her, But do you
Speaker 6: think that her involvement with the Huntsburgers, her involvement with Logan,
Speaker 6: is making her act this way and making her steal
Speaker 6: a boat or do you think that was kind of
Speaker 6: a natural progression for Rory.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: I addressed this in the recap that we just did
Speaker 1: on season five, and I addressed this with another fan question,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you the same thing. I think when
Speaker 1: you are young and impressionable and very positive and all
Speaker 1: you want to do is please the boss and then
Speaker 1: that very powerful influential figure in your field drops the
Speaker 1: bomb on you like that, I don't care how tough
Speaker 1: you are or who you are, that's gonna that's gonna
Speaker 1: wreck you at Rector. And I thought it was. It
Speaker 1: made me hate that character Mitchen Hunsberger, even though I
Speaker 1: love to watch him. He's such a he's such Greg
Speaker 1: Henry is such a great actor, and he was doing
Speaker 1: his job. That's his job. He's supposed to be hated
Speaker 1: and he man, do you hate him? You understand him though.
Speaker 1: That's why he's such a great actor. You understand why
Speaker 1: he's like that because I believe him when he says
Speaker 1: that to Rory. I believe that he thinks that he knows.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's right, but I believe him
Speaker 1: that he he believes himself that he knows that she's
Speaker 1: not gonna make it in the business. She's not tough enough,
Speaker 1: she's not obsessed enough. She's not she doesn't grind hard enough.
Speaker 1: She doesn't take the opportunity to the questions in the
Speaker 1: meeting when she should have. She should have taken the initiative.
Speaker 1: And you know what, there's plenty of examples that of
Speaker 1: people that I have known that have come up through
Speaker 1: you know, the secretarial ranks, or were started in the
Speaker 1: mailroom and their boss went on vacation. They jumped on
Speaker 1: their desk while they weren't supposed to, and they could
Speaker 1: have gotten fired for it, and they started making deals
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they became a power agent
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, you know what I mean, that's
Speaker 1: kind of what it takes. Yeah, and he's not wrong,
Speaker 1: But tell somebody in that position whose life is going
Speaker 1: so well. Yale Daily News. She's writing great stuff, she's
Speaker 1: smart as a whip. She's going to figure out to
Speaker 1: lower the boom like that. Yeah, I don't care who
Speaker 1: you are, you're gonna get waylaid. You're gonna get devastated
Speaker 1: by that. That is a Muhammad Ali knockout combination blow.
Speaker 1: And you ain't getting up from that for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she needs time. And then I think Richard and
Speaker 1: Emily are right. She needs time to recover from that
Speaker 1: those blows because it wasn't just one. It was a
Speaker 1: combination that knocked her out because he set her up,
Speaker 1: you know, he they tore her down, The family tore
Speaker 1: her down when he wasn't there, and then he went
Speaker 1: apologized and gave her that job and set her up,
Speaker 1: giving her all this hope, and then knocked her. He
Speaker 1: did worse than the damn dinner. I mean, it's wow,
Speaker 1: that's a wicked family.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: The Gilmour's were bad. I know, yes, so yeah, I
Speaker 1: gonna be But it really sets up season six, isn't
Speaker 1: it beautifully? Oh? It does?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. See what Richard does, see what
Speaker 1: Emily does? Are they going to go out? The questions
Speaker 1: in my mind is how hard it's not if they're
Speaker 1: going to go after mitcham how hard are they going
Speaker 1: to go after him? How they're going to do it?
Speaker 1: Because they're not going to sit back and be quiet
Speaker 1: about about this. There's going to be a confrontation. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what it is. I'm very eager to
Speaker 1: watch it, so the writers have done a masterful job.
