19

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: just because I don't know if a lot of people

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: in my generation have seen it, but it's like the

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: quint essentially Fall cozy girl show. Everybody are making edits

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: about it. I don't know if you know, Like they'll

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: cut audios from the show and then put it against

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: these like aesthetic all cuts the videos, and I was like,

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: this seems cool. I don't know what this is.

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: I've seen plenty of these, and I do conventions and

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: people young yea seven year old girls and boys come

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: up to me a dressed as a character, you know,

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: they want to meet me and they want to talk

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: about the show. And the whole thing is so everybody's

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: discovering this. Yeah, it's It's amazing. Netflix has made it

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: in a continuous, continuous cycle for years now. So what

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: had you were you aware the show before you watched it?

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: What had you heard about it? So you just simply

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: discovered it off of TikTok. Nobody was talking about it, right, No, people.

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 2: Were posting videos about on Instagram and TikTok, And that's

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: how I discovered it and I've only seen like the

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: famous burken bag scene where Rory doesn't know where a

44
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Bergen is, But that was all I knew about the show.

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Gotcha, So let me get a feel for who you

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: love and who you don't love. And before we start

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: getting into your article, who's your favorite character?

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Uh? It's controversial among I feel like my age, but

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: I have my favorite Laura. I love her why She's

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: just well, I saw the marvelous missus Masel first, and

51
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: so when I first started watching the show, I immediately

52
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: picked up on like Midge's dry, like really quick witted humor,

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: and I talked about it in my article, like I

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: realized it was the same creator. But Laura, l I

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 2: just gave me that Midge feeling, and she showed headstrong

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 2: the whole like mother Daughar issue and her I mean

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: Luke kind of just like stayed with her for eight

58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: to nine years before they got together, and it was

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: just so, I don't know, I like messy characters who

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: I can kind of relate to.

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: I love it.

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: So which character annoyed you the most, annoyed me the most,

63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: I feel like.

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: In a good way, or just my least favorite character?

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: I would think annoyed qualifies as.

66
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: That, yeah, least favorite character.

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: I would have to say, I'm not sure, because Paris

68
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: annoyed me a lot through the series, but then I

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: ended up really loving her. But she was annoying for

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: like all of children high school, like so annoying.

71
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: I was like Rory just like.

72
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: Move and it just transferred to a different class, like

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: she's always hear you.

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, but she she does tend to grow on it,

75
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: doesn't she She does.

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Which is why I'm like she was my least favorite,

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: but she might be one of my favorites now.

78
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: So what was your favorite Gilmore Girl's era or season?

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: I would say the Jess and Rory era, just when

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: even though it's kind of like I was the big

81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: supporter of Dean and I didn't really like how Rory

82
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: just kind of left Dean to his own devices and

83
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: just was like, oh, bye, I'm going to hang out

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: with Jess now. But I will say that I feel

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: like Jess really understood her, and I feel like they

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: had a lot more in common, and the whole arc

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: with like it was like a father son arc with

88
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: Luke and Jess. I just really appreciate it. He was

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: just kind of a loner but also misunderstood, and I

90
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: just like the era.

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think of all of them, I think Jess

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: definitely really got her and they were very similar in

93
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: a way. They both had a kind of a similar

94
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: darkness and a similar chip kissing. Yeah, but they understood

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: each other and they were I think I think he

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: was as smart as she was, just completely troubled person. Yeah, yeah,

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: not that saying she wasn't. I mean, she has her

98
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: own issues, but not like him. So what's your favorite

99
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: thing about the show? What do you like about the

100
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: show so much?

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: I just love how, like a lot of people say online,

102
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: it's the quintessential fall show. But I also think it's

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: a form of escape escapism in the sense that, like,

104
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't live in a small town, but I really

105
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: love the vibe that Stars Hollow gives. And I think

106
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: that's what makes it relatable for or just interesting for

107
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people, is that it's it's cozy. It's

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: something that you want to turn on with, like I

109
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: don't know, that's a cup of hot chocolate, Like you

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 2: just get sucked into this really cute New England town.

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: And it's not like other shows where there's a lot

112
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: of drama that's happening, but it's sort of emotional in

113
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: a way that you have to take a break from it.

114
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: It's really uplifting and I feel like, you know, I'm

115
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: having a bad.

116
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: Day, it's like it. And so are you in New

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: York or la?

118
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: I'm in New York City?

119
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Okay, and you grew up there?

121
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I grew up going to school in New York City.

122
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: But I was born in Jersey.

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you from Jersey, I'm from Jersey?

124
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: What part I was born in Jersey City?

125
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: No way?

126
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

127
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Wow?

128
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

129
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: I was born in Philly, raised in Jersey, went to

130
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: rud Curse, you know, Jersey, whole Jersey story. What do

131
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: you dis like about the show anything?

132
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

133
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: One really big thing that I feel like I've heard

134
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: online all over is just Rory dropping out of Yale.

135
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: Maybe absolutely no sense to me until I started reflecting

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: on it, but just it was she's even though she's

137
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: so spoken and she's like the angel of the town

138
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: and everybody loves her, I feel like she still has

139
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: grit to her. And you saw that when Harris was

140
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: like beating on her and she kind of gave her

141
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: pushback and just a lot of things up until that moment.

142
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: You saw Rory kind of push back on people who

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: didn't believe in her, and then all of a sudden,

144
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Mitcham I think his name is Huntsberger is like, you

145
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: just don't have it, and she just folds, and I was.

146
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: So I was so pissed.

147
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: I was like, Rory, what are you doing? And I

148
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: felt like Laura Lai, I was like, like, what are

149
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: you doing? I feel like, you know, she has a

150
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: right to her own autonomy and she can figure out

151
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: what she needs to figure out. But at the same time,

152
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: you know you're rooting for this girl and you want

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: to see her win. And I was just like, Rory,

154
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: what are you doing?

155
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Like but in a real sense, in real world terms,

156
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: she was overprotected. She was living in this tiny little

157
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: town and this is probably the first time somebody said

158
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: no to her.

159
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, which is why in my article I

160
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: started reflecting on it after I'd been talked the entire show.

161
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, this makes sense because she's had

162
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: this amazing support system and it's not her fault that

163
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: she lives like this is how she grew up, but

164
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: she she didn't have that sort of outside perspective of

165
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: somebody telling her you absolutely can't do this and there's

166
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: no way that you're going to make it. She always

167
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: had a really good support system, so it was kind

168
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: of like she was in this bubble and sort of coddled.

169
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: But also, I mean she had to she had to

170
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: go through it in her own way, which.

171
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Is I think, what have you know? A more accurate

172
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: statement coming out of Mitcham would have been you, I

173
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: don't think you can handle this environment in my publications.

174
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: But you know, to paint her with such a broad brush,

175
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: I thought was, Yeah, that's a tough hit to take

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: for him.

177
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it's low.

178
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: It's also coming from an adult who's worked in the

179
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: industry for so long, and just to cut this person.

180
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's like he's a he's a known fit.

181
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a powerful very you know, he's one

182
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: of the most powerful guys in old media. Yeah, what

183
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: a crushing blow. I always defend her on that, but

184
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I think it's the first time she's really gotten whacked,

185
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, really.

186
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: I thought there was a deeper subplot where he just

187
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: gave her the internship just to just to like kick

188
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: her down. But that never came up, so I was like,

189
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: maybe I'm just maybe that's the twenty ten's drama that

190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: I'm expecting.

191
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what I got from was that he

192
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: was just trying to apologize for how she was treated

193
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: at that dinner, Yeah, with his wife and his family,

194
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: and they were so talk to us about Emilie and Lurlai,

195
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, their dynamic, and the articles said you could

196
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: sympathize with both sides. Did did your side change when

197
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: you watch a series?

198
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

199
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: I think I think watching the series definitely made me

200
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: think about things in my life. I just you know,

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: as the daughter in the mother daughter relationship, you're always

202
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: going to automatically have a bias between like not feeling

203
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: like you have enough freedom or wanting to just get

204
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: away from what you've known for so long in order

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: to pursue, you know, what makes you happy. And Emily

206
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: and Laura l I had this thing where Lurai felt

207
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: trapped and she felt claustrophobic. But I think what changed

208
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: for me was that flashback scene where they show Emily

209
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: picking up the note from Laura I and seeing that

210
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: her daughter has run away, and so there was there

211
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: was a build up before that it was her daughter

212
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: going to the hospital without calling her, and all of

213
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: these things that happened where Laura I just started drinking

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: the amount of communication that they had and then totally

215
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: cut her off out of her life. I feel like

216
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: that's when it hit me, and I was like, well,

217
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: I can see how this feels on Emily's side, where

218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: you all, you have your daughter under your roof and

219
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: all of a sudden she's gone and she doesn't talk

220
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: to you, And so I I sympathize with her because

221
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, you never want that to happen with any

222
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: relationship in your life where somebody just like completely cuts

223
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: you off, especially if you love them so much. And

224
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: even though they had a really turbulent relationship, you can

225
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: see that Emily really loves her at the end of

226
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: the day throughout the entire series, that even though she does, like,

227
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, bribe her to get her to come to

228
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: family dinners. And is that the most healthy way to

229
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: talk to your daughter. Probably not, but in her own

230
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: weird ways, she was just trying to get closer to her.

231
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: So I sympathized.

232
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: And you know, Laurela was a tough customer at those dinners.

233
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, she said, I mean, it was just insult

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: after insult after veiled insult and insults in your face,

235
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: and Emily just sort of, you know, took the shot.

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Just took it.

237
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And.

238
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: Laurela has her flaws, and you have to acknowledge that

239
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: sometimes she was like out of like out of pocket,

240
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: you know, Like I think especially when Rory said that

241
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: she had applied to Yale, and Laurel I just you know,

242
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: just lost it at dinner. It's like, well, that was

243
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: her choice for all, So you can't blame your parents

244
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: for everything, you know, and she just kind of took

245
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: it out on them, and it was one of those

246
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: those scenes where you're just like, Laura I is just

247
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: acting out and she has a lot of baggage that

248
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: she needs to get through.

249
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: So what are your overall thoughts on Emily's mother.

250
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: I think that in her own way, she thought that

251
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: she was doing the best she could, but sometimes she

252
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: didn't respect her her daughter's autonomy, and she was trying

253
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: to project all of these these expectations on her when

254
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: she was little and try to like prep her for

255
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: the primp society that they lived in Connecticut, but didn't

256
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: really I don't know it doesn't seem like they ever

257
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: had a conversation that was helpful between the two of

258
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: them where she was like, Laura, I do you actually

259
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: want this? I mean, Laura Lei's whole I think character

260
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: arc was just her trying to express that she never

261
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: felt her to her mother. So I feel like there

262
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: was just lack of communication, but also lack of listening

263
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: on both sides, and that's that's what's relatable to their

264
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: relationship that I was like.

265
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: M M, so, so you think Rory dropping out of

266
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: Yale is out of character for her? That is that?

267
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Is that what you said in your article.

268
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: I thought it was until I realized that she had

269
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: a more sheltered childhood that I wasn't acknowledging. But when

270
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: I went through that, when I when I first saw

271
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: those few episodes, and people online kind of like they

272
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: skipped those intentionally. I saw a video where somebody called

273
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: it like her dark Days, where they just like don't

274
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: want to they don't want to hear it, they don't

275
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: want to go through it.

276
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: But I felt like it was out.

277
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 2: Of character because she was she was always trying to

278
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: just climb the ladder in order to you know, she

279
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: had been dreaming about Harvard her entire life, and even

280
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: though she always had a plan and it didn't see it.

281
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: I wasn't under the impression that anyone was going to

282
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: get in the way of that. But then you look

283
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: at stuff like her moving from from Harvard to Yale

284
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: in like a very very short amount of time. I

285
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: just think that there are points in her life where

286
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: you can you can pinpoint where she kind of just

287
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: like rolls over, and I wasn't acknowledging that until, you know,

288
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: until it happened.

289
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: You think Richard and Lemonley did her a disservice by

290
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: allowing her to drop out and move in with him.

291
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: I think in some way they were treating Rory the

292
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: way that they wish they treated Laura Lili and I

293
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: feel like, to me, that's part of the reason why

294
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: Laura I took it so hard, because not only did

295
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: they go against her and go behind her back and

296
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: you know, let her drop out and not be on

297
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: her side because they were gonna they were gonna like

298
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: they were going to team up against her and get

299
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: her to you know, enroll. But I just think that

300
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: they had made a lot of mistakes with Laura Laive

301
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: that they wish that they could counteract, and Rory was

302
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: their second chance. I think, like Richard says, after maybe

303
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: like a few months, that he wished he would have

304
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: pushed her to enroll, But then again, there's just so

305
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: many deeper family dynamics that just come to play with Rory.

306
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Do you think the fans deserved the Luke and Laura

307
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: l wedding?

308
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: I do, even I did.

309
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: I did watch the revival too, because I got a

310
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: lot of feedback on the story because I watched the

311
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: series and I was like, do I watch the Revival,

312
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: like is it worth it?

313
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: And people were like, yeah, watch it.

314
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: And I know that we did, like get a wedding,

315
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: but it was like e lopement. I wanted the big

316
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: I want to see her in the perfect dress, in

317
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: the perfect in the perfect church, in the perfect like

318
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: you know, June Day. And I felt cheated. That's I

319
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: don't know how you felt about that.

320
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: I felt I felt really cheated. I really did. I

321
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: was shocked when I read the scripts for the yeah,

322
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: the Netflix episodes, I was I.

323
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: Just I just felt like they were prolonging the inevitable

324
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: and they were so like I said, even though we

325
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: weren't there for the eight or nine years of build up,

326
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: like Luke was there for the eight and nine years

327
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: of build up, like we were in like six seasons

328
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: of build up like this long, like slow Burn, and

329
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: you just want to see it come all the way together.

330
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: And then you had build up between like Luke and

331
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: Rory's like father daughter relationship, and you wanted to see

332
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: like you know, that wrapped up with a nice little

333
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: bow and see you know, he was there for all

334
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: of her her big moments and milestones, like I want,

335
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: I want to see it all come together, like that's

336
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: what they deserved.

337
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: And right, where's the payoff for the character and where's

338
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: the payoff for the relationship, and where's the payoff for

339
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: the fans? Yeah, it didn't happen.

340
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know, I know there wasn't, Like I

341
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: know it kind of happened in the revival, But I

342
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: still I wanted I wanted that wedding, you know, right that.

343
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: Was really all about her moment, you know what I mean.

344
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean Luke wasn't involved in her moment, right, And

345
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: arguably that's the direction it had to go in, or

346
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: should have gone in. But still it was odd. It

347
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: felt a little lot. Do you feel like Luke was

348
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: the one for Laura?

349
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm one hundred percent he Luke, I do. I

350
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 2: you know, he was all like I said, he was

351
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: always there for her during all of her like quote

352
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: unquote eras like when she was with Maxi Medina.

353
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 3: He was always like we're in the background.

354
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: And I wish that Like earlier in the early seasons,

355
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: when I didn't know what was going to happen, I

356
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: was like, Luke, like stand up for yourself. Like I

357
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: was like, after out, you know, do something, And I

358
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: was just like, Okay, I understand, like we need to

359
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: be like they need to give the audience like something

360
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: on the back burner, like to root for. But I

361
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: was like he's and he wasn't exactly. I don't think

362
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: your character was one like pining for her. Like he

363
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: wasn't in her face.

364
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Oh he was. He just he just was playing it cool.

365
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was playing it cool.

366
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: But he's that guy. He's not gonna allow himself to

367
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: get humiliated.

368
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 2: Or hurt, right, which is why I was like Laura Lai,

369
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: like are like like look in front of you.

370
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: Like every single morning, I just didn't. I was.

371
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Do something any think they could you think they could

372
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: have milked that for another couple of seasons or was

373
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: that season four the right time for the first.

374
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: Kiss Season four, I was getting answered.

375
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: I was like, it needs to happen, and I think

376
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: it happened in the right time. But yeah, I didn't.

377
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: I always I like never bought the Max Medina her

378

Speaker 2: getting married to MAXI media like well, like I got knew,

379
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,840
