    41. Gilmore Girls Grab Bag #3

    It’s grab bag time! Jackie and Catherine are taking questions from YOU about your burning Gilmore Girls questions. Like….


    Where is Stars Hollow? 

    How old is Luke?

    Where did Dean go?

    Why didn’t we get to see Lorelai and Chris’s marriage? 

    What modern-day trends would our favorite Gilmore girls love (and hate)? 


    And many more. Plus, Jackie has a really good theory about why Lorelai and Rory have a porch with beautiful greenery even though they don’t know how to garden!

    To access this bonus episode for Gabbing Gilmore exclusive subscribers, join the Patreon community here.


    Are you ready to do Christmas like a Gilmore Girl? We all know Lorelai and Rory’s holiday traditions: stockings on the stairs, slice and bake cookies that they pretend to decorate. 


    But what about two of the best Gilmore Girls hostesses? 


    Emily and Sookie, of course!


    In this December bonus episode, Gilmore aficionados Jackie & Catherine talk all about the festive food, drinks, holiday decor, music, gifts and movies that these two would love. 


    And we get a little personal about which of our own holiday traditions match up with those of Stars Hollow and Hartford. 


    Come join us for a cozy chat as you cook, shop & wrap - to get you in the holiday mood, true Gilmore style! (Don’t worry, we won’t force you to sip eggnog. But hopefully we can get our hands on some peppermint coffee from Weston’s!)

    39. I wanna be your endgame: Tristan and Rory

    Were Rory and Tristan “end game”? Sisters and co-hosts Jackie and Catherine are joined by a special guest to discuss. 


    Why do people love Tristan so much? We explore whether this character, played by Chad Michael Murray, had any character growth over the series. And whether he was a good match for Rory Gilmore. 


    Today, we’re diving into Romeo & Juliet, the dance, the kiss, Tristin’s date with Paris, the infamous P.J. Harvey tickets - all of it! 


    Plus, was military school the right ending for Tristan? Let’s chat.

    38. Bit Characters, Big Impact

    Every Gilmore Girls fan loves to chat about Lorelai, Rory, Emily, Luke, Lane, and Sookie. And Rory’s guys, of course. 


    But what about the bit characters we only see once or twice? 


    The smaller characters of Gilmore Girls add to the charm of Stars Hollow, the Hartford society scene, and even Yale. 


    And sometimes they impact the storylines in big ways! 


    Today, sisters (and GG diehard fans) Jackie and Catherine explore the big impact of bit characters on Gilmore. Part 1, because of course we couldn’t fit everyone in one episode. 😉

    37. Subscriber Only: Is Lorelai a Selfish Mom?

    Along with being quirky, caffeinated, and fast-talking, the other common adjective some critics use to describe Lorelai Gilmore is “selfish.” Including the way she mothers Rory.


    Today, sisters and Gilmore experts Jackie and Catherine explore:


    • What IS a selfish mom?
    • What’s the difference between being selfish and self-centered?
    • What are society’s expectations for mothers today, and why aren’t dads often called selfish?
    • What are the moments when Lorelai put her daughter’s needs, social life, and future above her own?


    And finally, was it selfish for Lorelai to keep Rory from the Gilmores and from Christopher? 


    Today is a brutally honest, “let's get real” kind of episode.

    Bonus: Gilmore Girls in CT; our review of the annual Fan Fest Firelight Event

    This month, Jackie and Catherine experienced an immersive Stars Hollow weekend like no other, this year's Fan Fest Firelight Event in Guilford, CT!

    This episode is a bonus so we could bring you all the Gab. What cast members did we meet? Did we, in fact, dress alike all weekend? And how many times did Jackie "pull a Lorelai" and buy coffee from the same coffee shop in one day?  It was all too much fun to keep to ourselves! 

    A big thank you to Jennie and Marcus Whittaker for planning this amazing Fan Fest for the Gilmore Girls community. We are so grateful!

    35. Dead Uncles and Professors: Death on Gilmore Girls

    Today Jackie and Catherine cover a bittersweet topic. Although death sounds extremely serious (and it is!)... on Gilmore Girls it is often infused with compassion, friendship, sweetness, and humor. Nothing stays too heavy for too long on our favorite Stars Hollow show. 


    We explore:


    * How did some of the townspeople’s deaths shape important plot points for Lorelai, Rory, Emily, Luke, and others?


    * Who rose to the occasion when their family or friends needed support? And who didn’t? 


    * What do we love most about how the town of Stars Hollow reacts to its grieving members? 


    * And why did Rory cry so much at Stan’s funeral? 


    {Note to our beloved townies}: if you’ve recently experienced loss or are feeling heavy grief right now, feel free to skip this one. We’ll always be here for you when you’re ready. If you need something more uplifting, check out Top 10 Fun Musical Moments of Gilmore Girls.

    Do we like Logan in the beginning? 


    Why does Rory end up liking a guy who made a terrible first impression on her? Let’s get into it!
