Lorelei went from “I can’t date the father of some random student *that* could affect Rory” to “I mean- yeah sure I’ll go out with Rory’s favorite teacher. That’ll be great” 😂
My read on this was that Ian was originally suppose to play the Max Medina role, but that either the actor fell out or something behind the scenes led to them re-writing the story line with Rory's teacher instead of a fellow parent. Similar to how they recycled some of Tristan's story points for Jesse and Logan after Chad Micheal Murry left.
I took it that it was an excuse for Lorelai using "you're a Chilton dad" as a barrier. But when a girl truly wants someone, rules suddenly becomes suggestions. lol
Hi 🌼 I don’t know if you’re going to see this comment but I love your takes on Gilmore girls. They are so interesting and I’m able to see things in another light so thank you for that. I agree with most of what you say and personally I would love a lorelai’s take on her relationship but I understand your worries. People are mean. I hope you won’t let that stop you. Have a nice day !
Hi! Thank you for the kindness and encouragement 🙂. I'm surprised you found this video, it's currently unlisted so it's not supposed to show up for people (not that I mind at all, I will make it public). I'm very grateful that you took the time to watch it. I will slowly build my way up to covering Lorelai. It might be a slow journey, but I will get there. Edit: I realized it's in my playlist so that's why it shows up. 🤦♀
@@PensiveWhiskers yes I’ve seen it because of that haha. Also, I have an idea of video and feel free to tell me if it’s interesting or not but I’d love a take on the Gilmore’s privilege life. Not only Richard, Emily and Rory but also Lorelai who I think doesn’t know or doesn’t care about her privileges. I’m on a rewatch and she can be as entitled as Rory sometimes
That is a good video topic. I would like to cover class and privilege on Gilmore Girls. It will probably be further down the line but that is an interesting subject to explore with this show.
this is just what i needed to watch this evening! enjoyed your work as always, and i really like how you included clips of some of the actors in other shows as good relevant b-roll. all your theories for these minor characters background had me cracking up😂
I absolutely love your stories linking shows!! After Luke, Alex was by far my favorite, he was cute and seemed genuinely nice, and didn't have any smarmy moments!
Yes! It was definitely the mustache for me. I didn't catch on to the fact that Alex and Charlie are played by the same actor either (until I looked it up).
On the tiny portions on both of her unsatisfying dates: there is a running theme in Gilmore Girls where food is used to represent emotional fulfilment, so I think the tiny portions represent her dissatisfaction.
Was it Buffy and Gilmore Girls? If so, I have a "Rory the Vampire Slayer" video idea that I'm not sure should see the light of day... but if there are enough Buffy fans, perhaps I will venture into that direction.
Yes I agree Lorlei should’ve gotten a taste of the Swanson magic 🤭 Thanks for your fun videos, I’ve been keeping up with them all! Have you thought of ever doing a video explaining the inter-generational trauma in the Gilmore family? And how it shows up in each member?? 😮
Hi! Thank you! A video on the inter-generational trauma is an excellent idea and I believe that this type of video should be made for this show. I do want to talk about serious topics when it comes to this show, but I would like to put in a lot of research and work for that type of video. Once I become more confident in my skills, I will move on to videos covering overarching themes and lessons from the show.
🥴😅 Hahaha, I was kind of rambling at the end and I probably shouldn't have said that. Kind of not cool on my part to say "I have weird ideas but I won't tell you what they are." I don't mean to hold back. I will most likely touch upon all of them as I continue with my videos.
As for Peyton, you could use the same storyline used for Jon Hamm on 30 Rock. He's so handsome that no one ever criticizes him on anything, ever, and he never actually learns anything. ☺️
I always thought kirk would have made a nice partner for her he is genuinely a good guy who really loves her and cares for her and it would have been hilarious 😂
I can't believe I never realized that Rune and Whistler are the same guy! So, them main reason I clicked on this video (other than just enjoying and trying to make my way through your videos) is that I saw you were going to talk about Alex, and I really liked Alex. I thought it was a shame that he just sort of disappeared. He is so underrated, and I'm glad you gave their relationship some thought and some screen-time. Yes, obviously by the time he was introduced, Lorelei was going to end up with Luke, but there's no reason he couldn't have had as much of a role as Jason or Max, or at the very least a real reason for their breakup. I don't have strong feelings on any of the others. Ian Jack was clearly a proto-Max, though I am a little unclear as to why he never looked her up when he came back. The "too young," guy was mostly meant to highlight the Luke and Lorelei of it all, but I had no real issue with him, your headcanon fan-theory about Peyton is interesting. Great video.
Thank you for watching! I didn't realize that Rune and Whistler were the same guy either for a very long time. It is a shame that Alex disappeared, I think they would have given him more of a storyline if the actor didn't leave. He seemed like such a nice responsible guy and a parent like Lorelai. It would have been interesting to explore.
Omg!! I thought I was the only one who remembered Popular. And yes, it was ridiculous but so good. Love the list, Rune was my favourite. He was so charming 😂😂 I really like your ideas on the show (and on Buffy, love you buffy vids) that now I'm so curious about your thoughts about Lorelai relationships. I know that would be interesting 😊
I recall "Popular" was on at the same time as "Freaks and Geeks", and most people didn't watch "Freaks and Geeks" back then, so "Popular" was more popular, but now very few people seem to recall "Popular", and "Freaks and Geeks" seems to have become the cult fave. Who knew? It's super weird how that worked out. Both shows were fun to watch in their own ways, in my humble opinion.
True story; I watched "Popular" while it aired primarily because it was on the WB and I think the show was pretty well known at the time given the network. I didn't watch Freaks and Geeks until years later. Some of my friends watched Freaks and Geeks when it aired and I got into it afterwards because of that. I'm happy that the show developed a cult following.
As you pointed out Lorelei's long-term relationships I was like "there is someone missing inbetween Max and Jason", but I couldn't figure out who it was. Then you mentioned forgetting Christopher and I feel like that is saying something about me ...
I love all your GG vids but this has to be my fave so far. Just the right amount of unhinged with a laser focus on these very important side characters!! Truly appreciate this form of entertainment 🤌🏽
Love this, the charlie tie in was so funny! Am I sensing a controversial opinion? Maybe about the main couple? Now i have to go back and watch the other videos again to see if you ever actually said you liked them together 😁 Would love a video with your real thoughts, try not to let the possible mean comments bother you, not everyone has to agree with them!
Hahaha, there might be a controversial opinion somewhere in there. I do want to make more videos where I unapologetically don't censor my thoughts. I feel like I need to get used to the microphone a bit more. Anytime I'm in front of the mic, I start to freeze up a bit.
I just subscribed to your channel! I would LOVE to hear your controversial takes on Lorelai and her relationships SO BAD, but I understand you're not comfortable yet. The internet can be a ruthless place sometimes. Either way, I'll be looking forward to more videos
Hello and welcome! It’s been a minute since I’ve made a video for this channel 😅 but I still have a lot of video ideas I want to carry out so I will be making at least one a month (hopefully more). Thank you for subscribing 🙂
omg pls make ur unpopular opinions vid on Lorelei's love interests pls make an unpopular opinion vid on everything !! love ur vids, love ur analysis, love ur humour, love ur charisma keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you! 😄That is so nice of you to say! I do want to make an unpopular opinion video eventually. The format will likely be different but that would be a good exercise for me.
So I've watched this show over and over since the mid 2000s and I never picked that Joe was also a waiter 😆 Also loved your crossovers and I'd love to hear more about your theories on Lorelei's bf's and who she should have ended up with. I've watched and re-watched so many times that my opinions have definitely changed over the years.
Thank you! I don’t think I would have caught the fact that Joe is a waiter if I hadn’t been looking at that scene a few minutes earlier. It just so happened that Rune was in the episode with “Joe the waiter” which is how I caught it.
I am loving your Buffy crossover theory on Rune!! 😂 ETA: and also the (Charlie) Alex Twilight crossover, lol. Thanks for this video! I really liked Alex a lot, too.
Also why did you glossed over the fan favorite KIRK!!! LOL He did ask out Lorelai and complimented her being the most beautiful lady outside a dirty magazine. Man.... Im just uncomfortable picturing Kirk buying/reading a dirty mag. Also he's compatible at a very distant level in their love for "I love Lucy" show.
I hear your complaint and I agree that it was an egregious omission on my part. 😆 I did think about including him but I ultimately left him out because I devoted a separate video to him. I liked his relationship with Lorelai.
Just wanted to let you know that I think your theories are bonkers but I AM HERE FOR IT. Love the candid little theories because I do the same things with my favourite TV shows. 😊 Keep doin’ you!
I love your takes!! It’s so fun to see somebody discuss theories that are off the beaten path for this show, but if your main theories are controversial, I want to hear them even more! ❤
Thank you! I'd like to think that most of my theories are pretty standard, a few are a little out there and not consistent with the fandom. I am happy that you want to hear about them anyway! I will make an unpopular opinion video at some point.
Lol I laughed harder than I should hen she said Lorelai's main love interest were Max, Jason, and Luke. I was literally like Christopher? We don't know her? It was funny to me
I feel like they didn't do a good job of showing the ending of Alex and Lorelei's relationship. It was like he just disappeared and I liked him for Lorelei.
I would love to listen to your options about her relationships. I myself have controversial opinions haha I honestly think Lorelai and Luke have a very toxic relationship and it went all the way to the revival.
You're the first person to catch that! As I was finishing up the video, I realized that I should have included him. I got kind of lazy and thought "well, maybe no one will notice but alas... I've been caught. 😳
@@PensiveWhiskerslol he was the first person I thought of when I saw this video. I don’t know what that says about me. I guess I always loved his utter inability to read a room.
The actor who plays Ian ALSO played a TRULY creepy serial killer on The X-Files, and i will *never* be able to watch him in any other role without utter terror. Poor guy lol.
Oh interesting! I've only seen a few episodes of the X-Files. It's a weird experience sometimes to have an actor in a very different role, especially if it's just a one-off appearance.
I need more videos like this because of how fun and hilarious it was to see the head cannons of Buffy the vampire slayer and Charlie from twilight. Justice for Charlie. I am curious to see how many you can come up with either this show or other shows you talk about.
Hahaha, yes, #justiceforcharlie. It would be a lot of fun to have a video where it is all tie-ins to other shows. I don't know if you've seen How I Met Your Mother but there is a ton of crossover with the actors from Buffy. I thought about making a video talking about all the actor connections between those 2 shows.
‘I like a strong, salt of the Earth, self-possessed woman at the top of her field. Your Steffi Grafs, your Sheryl Swoopeses, but I will take a free breakfast buffet anytime, anyplace.’ Match made in Inn.
About your opinions being weird when it comes to Lorelai. Come on do it! I just love your videos. I'm having a blast listening to these. After all, we are all a bit (what's a nice word for weird? ahhh yes... ) quirky. lol We are listening to a video essay of a 20 year old series.
You might not see this comment , but u should do a sorta analysis or deep dive on the theory that all Rory’s boyfriends relate to stages in Lorelai’s life, Dean = Christopher, Jess = Lorelai when she was younger etc…
I swear Popular became Glee, Ryan Murphy just took its cancellation and revamped it. the singing quarterback, the unpopular brunette, the disgruntled musical instructor living their glory days through students, etc. My favorite from this list was Alex though. He was a combination of Max and Christopher (kind of) and seemed perfect for Lorelei. He evem got her "Lorelaiisms".
Another thing that I wouldve loved to see is the life as a single mother of Lorelai in the Chilton's parent scene. Usually mothers in high income schools are either VERY invested in the school life or dismissive. And they tend to be very closed to outsiders if not downright rude. At least that's how it is in my area. Married women tend to be overprotective of the kid who they hang out with, if the friend of the kid has a single mother. They dont love much the idea of them being together, as if the single mom somehow would steal their husband. It's messed up IMO, but it does happen. Chilton mom's werent the warmest but they werent rude either IIRC.
I hated Alex character because at the time the actor Billy Burke also had a big part as villain in 24 Season 2 as the perv hitting on an underaged Kim Bauer (played by Elisha Cutberth) and later killing her wife in that season.
Personally, I love the way that your mind works. And honestly this is weird--I could have SWORN I saw a video by you analyzing Lorelei's main love interests. Maybe I saw someone else's and mistook it for yours. Either way, this video was a fun watch!
I'm usually really good at recognizing actors but alex and beau flew over my head. I did actually catch on to beau and p&r seeing his name in the timestamps before getting to him though. I completed agreed about Alex and was actually kinda bummed when he was just phased out. He's like a better version on Max Medena.
I did not figure out that Alex is played by the same actor as Charlie on Twilight until I started doing research for this video. My mind was blown. But in our defense, that movie did come out a long time ago and that 'stache really makes a difference. 🙂
I love doing this, too! When an actor comes on a show, but I know them from somewhere else, I imagine how the characters actually are the same. It's fun :) Oz definitely doesn't mention his parents ever, b/c his Dad is a supervillain, that's bound to mess you up and make your grades slip so much you have to repeat senior year ;) the food theory makes total sense as, her great love - I mean totally just friend - Luke keeps her fed. I think this was a lovely and very original video on Lorelai's love life. Stick what makes you feel comfortable, especially if it leads to such gems as this one, the Cordelia vs. Paris video and the Stars Hollow conspiracy theory! I think if the topics speak to you, you can make them compelling to (most) viewers.
OH MY GOD, your Oz idea, I love it so much! I've always associated Seth Green with those two characters; Dr. Evil's son and Oz. If I ever make a video on Oz (which I hope I will), the Dr. Evil plotline would be really funny to bring in. Thank you for your encouragement regarding video idea topics. I've been feeling really conflicted as to what types of videos I should make. I want to make videos that make others happy but at the same time, I want to make videos that are just for me. I need to find a balance.
I think it's hilarious that you straight up FORGOT Christopher 😂 cause same girl, I didnt think of him until you mentioned it 🥹 I would honestly love to hear your opinion on the main love interests, now especially on Christopher LOL. Different takes are always appreciated 😊
I was amused myself when I realized I left him out, I wasn’t sure if I should even go back and mention him but then thought people might chew me out for such a blatant oversight. The funny thing is, I don’t think I have an opinion on Christopher yet. I have my original impressions from when I last watched the show but with this character, I feel like I have to go back and rewatch his scenes to form a good opinion.
I think this video was absolutely brilliant - I LOVED all the tie-ins to other “universes”😄 Very original! I for one would love to hear your other theories😊 🤔I wonder if your theory about Lorelai being a volume eater has something to do (in part) with why she loved Luke (I mean, other than that he’s an amazing person😊)…
OH MY GOD! I didn't make the connection with being a volume eater and Luke, but now that you say it... my theory almost kind of works. Also, Lorelai's best friend is Sookie. Perhaps she's drawn to people that cook.
Jason, Alex the Coffee Guy (when as a teenager i watched the sow he was the coffee guy for me XD and i loved him) and Bo. I loved Bo. :D He is funny and yea a bit creepy but I am sure that he is one of the type who is reliable when you need him, and funny and his creepyness only something what he picked up as a habit, not his true self. But anyhow...jason for me, ever and always. :D No, not Luke, even I like him as a character, not good with Lorelai, but Jason is fantastic for her. Same humor, hardworking, same backgrounds but at the same time Jason is not so posh. I just love Jason, he was absolutely an amazing candidate for Lorelai. Nice video, come on make that big video about the true romances. :D No judge here.
Thank you! I also really like Alex, Bo and Jason. I have a video on Jason but I haven't covered Luke, Max or Christopher. I don't think I formulated a conclusive opinion on who I would want for Lorelai but I know the characters that I like most.
That show is such a blast from the past. I had to look up the actor because I knew that I saw him on a show a long time ago and I needed to go back and check what it was. I only really remember Mary Cherry from that show.
