A Gilmore state of mind

"Nope; now that the show’s in its fifth season, I’m convinced that Gilmore Girls is really about what goes on in our heads. Our heads – Women Who Know Too Much About Too Many Things, from Advanced Placement English to the lineups of obscure New Wave bands./…/

Of course, Gilmore Girls is still a family show, but its real genius is the way it has somehow made ”family entertainment” compatible with the solitary living-in-our-own-heads kind of existence that us brainy girls are usually portrayed as having, what with our diaries and Rooms of our Own./…/

For those of us whose lifestyles don’t tend to involve carpooling kids to choir practise, it’s nice not to be overlooked for once. Because as far as Lorelai and Rory are concerned, pop culture is a family value, and hearing them rattle off old Go Go’s-lyrics, list Ramones song titles, and instantly associate the phrase ”I’m gonna live forever” with the movie Fame (just like I do in my head, and you do, too), you can’t help but feel like you’re a part of a beautiful crazy family, and that all you have to do is think along."

Äntligen någon som fattat! Och dessutom verkar det som att Wendy har kikat in i mitt huvud och lyckats bena upp alla hyllningar av Gilmore Girls för att sedan formulera dem så briljant. I'm in awe. Läs helst hela artikeln om ni stöter på den, jag orkade inte citera allt här.
