Mrs. Kim is my new hero.

In an unprecedented TV watching marathon, we made it through not just AI and House but also our taped Gilmore Girls last night.  My assertion that Rory is a bitch at the moment survived intact, methinks; if your mother gets trashy drunk at your best friend’s wedding and makes an ass of herself, swallow your anger long enough to shut her down, ‘eh.  Don’t just sit there with smoke coming from your nostrils while it slowly dawns on your father that she really is in trouble and in need of rescue.  Nice touch, that final scene with Christopher sleeping in the chair watching over her and Luke calling.  Evoked something I can’t quite put my finger on, like some sort of summation of the deep weirdness that runs through all of these relationships.

Poor Mrs. Kim!  It’s so hard not to become your own mother...or is the lesson that daughters are daughters?  In any case, her humoring of her mother and her promise of earplugs for Lane’s celebration both made me get sort of teary-eyed.  What can I say?  I’m sentimental lately.

I’m frightened of what happens with the shift in writers next season, but a bit relieved, really, that they will probably pack it up at that point.  At least I hope they will...I don’t think the thing really has more than one more season left in it, and I’d like it to go out before I hate it. 

Ah, well.  Back to work…

1. Yeah, I agree on the Rory being a bitch still. I can’t believe she left her dad to take care of her drunk, passed out mom, while she ran off to see about the live-in, who has been on the receiving end of the arctic freeze.

2. Yeah, she’s got her priorities seriously mixed up at the moment.  I sort of sympathize, because I had one relationship long ago with that absolutely-can’t-stand-him, absolutely-can’t-live-without-him thing going on, and I remember how painful it was.  Come to think of it, I was about the same age.  I keep expecting Rory to be smarter than me, though.  Heh.  But it’s not smart/dumb so much as that she’s absolutely, intolerably self-absorbed...I hope she snaps out of it soon!  It’s really unbecoming.
