Alexis appreciates the movement between Richard and Emily, even though it is still painful to see them separated. The question remains, is it better to be on a double date with Rune or Dean and Luke?

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 14, "Swan Song." They both enjoyed this episode and all of the juicy drama it provided. Suzanne was proud of Luke's parenting abilities with Jess after their rocky start and Alexis was proud of Emily for setting aside her feelings and being welcoming to Jess. Listeners weighed in about their experiences with swans, and most agreed that the real beaked terrors are geese. Suzanne and Alexis both question whether there is any trust at all between Rory and Jess.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 13, "Dear Emily and Richard." Alexis makes it clear that she is not a fan of the flashbacks in this episode and Suzanne slowly starts to agree that perhaps they aren't as narratively effective as they could have been. But, Suzanne is tickled by the outdated travel guides and Alexis enjoys the tense banter between Dean and Jess. Both Suzanne and Alexis are obsessed with the mundane display of affection that is Lorelai getting a DVD player and some musicals for Emily.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 12, "Lorelai Out of Water." Suzanne is proud of Tom and his win over Dean in March Madness plus his expert handling of Taylor. Alexis loves Kirk working in the beauty shop although both she and Suzanne question where Shane is. And where Francie is. And where Alex goes after this episode. Really, a lot of people disappear. But also, Luke asks Nicole out and Dave isn't Korean.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 11, "I Solemnly Swear." Both agree this episode had an odd feel to it, and ultimately wasn't one of their favorites.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 10, "That'll Do, Pig." Both love the wintery Stars Hollow look although they're both a bit confused about the quick jump from Rory not wanting to kiss Jess in public to making out while on the move through the town square. Suzanne criticizing Chilton teachers once more. Meanwhile Alexis takes the opportunity to love Emily in the wake of Trix's arrival. But most of all, both think that villain Dean might be the most interesting Dean.

This week Alexis and Suzanne are joined by Larisa from Eating Gilmore to discuss Season 3 Episode 9, "A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving." They contemplate food and whether Rory and Lorelai really ate four dinners or just attended four dinners. Suzanne makes a truly abhorrent dad joke. Larisa loves Dave and even calls him the best male character (after Richard) on the show. Alexis suggests she's up for trying out tofurkey.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 8, "Let the games begin." Suzanne starts off the episode by being confused about time again, but Alexis explains it clearly. Both enjoy the cringe-worthy first moments of Rory's and Jess's relationship, or whatever it is. Suzanne tells a murder story and Alexis applauds Rory for her quick thinking in her impromptu Yale admissions interview.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 7, "They Shoot Gilmores Don't They?" Both Suzanne and Alexis are excited about the iconic episode, and excited that finally Rory and Dean will be over. They even side with Dean in a surprise twist. Suzanne is obsessed with Sookie's outfit and the audacity of Babette and Morey to pull a "veni, vidi, vici" for the 24 hour dance marathon that sounds a bit like torture. Alexis adores Dave and his pursuit of Lane, despite all obstacles. This is a momentous episode, and warrants the extra long recap.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 6, "Take the Deviled Eggs." Alexis questions what Sherry's motives were for talking to Lorelai about Christopher and Suzanne similarly questions Rory's aggression towards Jess's new car. Both are disappointed at the classism of Luke making fun of Jess for working at Walmart, and Taylor's attempts to prohibit peaceful protest by the town loner.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 5, "Eight O'Clock at the Oasis." Be forewarned, Suzanne gives a graphic history lesson about medieval depictions of breastfeeding. Meanwhile, Alexis admires Jon Hamm and Suzanne covertly floats the idea of a Mad Men recap podcast. Oh, and the famous Rory and Jess soaking wet scene gets both of their gazebo moments because it's so iconic.

Suzanne reminisces once again about dying her hair cool colors, making everybody wonder why she doesn't start again. Alexis is team Shane and both are annoyed with the hypocritical feminism all in one episode. Above all, they're excited that Hep Alien has begun.

They both reminisce about their own experiences applying to colleges at different stages and agree it is a terrible system overall. Alexis is excited to see our new friend, Dave, show up to give Lane a little romance (who are we kidding, Suzanne is excited too).

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 3 Episode 2, "Haunted Leg." Suzanne is immediately thrown off by the idea of a haunted leg and what that might entail. Alexis commiserates with the Chilton librarian who has to answer to Paris's ridiculous demands but also applauds Francie as a stellar villain. By the end of the episode, Alexis and Suzanne are discussing how alike Rory and Christopher are, and they even feel bad for Dean at one point.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne are back with Season 3 Episode 1, "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days." They begin the episode by going over the different awards that they give throughout a recap, you can skip ahead to 4:40 if you are familiar with these. Then, they are both a little appalled at the lack of movement either Lorelai or Rory have made during the summer in their personal lives. But, Alexis loves the summer florals and vibe of the town as Lorelai goes along her way. Both are pretty happy for Paris and her new paramour, Jamie. Suzanne gets annoyed at Lorelai for not respecting Luke's gruffness, an Alexis questions when exactly Rory decided that there was a Dean.

Larisa describes some of the best and worst dishes she's made from the show, as well as some of her showstoppers.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne are joined by Élaina, one half of the Women of Questionable Morals Podcast. They get into the reasons they all critique a show that they love, and then dive into some critiques. Élaina brings some history to the topic of race in Stars Hollow and notes how the show attempts to create distance between the town and any characters of color. Alexis finally finds somebody who knows Edith Wharton enough to have an in-depth conversation about class relations and conspicuous consumption. And Élaina turns the tables and asks some truly stumping questions leading to Suzanne and Alexis having differing conclusions for once. Sariah was missed for this episode, but the WOQMPod duo will definitely be back for another episode.

Kristine talks about reading from the Rory Gilmore Reading List, and how it has helped her cope with life and learn more about herself at the same time.

We have compiled all of our ads from Season 2. If you've missed it, each episode we write a phony ad that relates to the episode in some way. We have a lot of fun with it!

This week, Alexis and Suzanne reflect on Season 2 and all of the twists and turns it has brought. They talk about how Rory and Lorelai are deep in character growth, even if they weren't entirely likable this season. Suzanne discusses what fantasy creatures some townsfolk would be, and Alexis brings some TikTok source material to the table.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne finish up Season 2 with Episode 22, "I Can't Get Started." They both agree that this is a great season finale, it wraps things up just enough and still leaves them excited to get to Season 3 in January. Suzanne loves that Sookie is getting her big day and representing a full circle love story for a fat woman. Alexis enjoys the musical stylings of the townspeople as the guests gather for the ceremony. And both are appalled by the highs and lows that Lorelai and Rory experience all in one afternoon.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 21, "Lorelai's Graduation Day." Alexis and Suzanne are excited about Lorelai's graduation but a little bit miffed that Rory disregarded Lorelai's wishes and invited Richard and Emily. Suzanne is envious of the tassle-cap cake and humbly requests one for her upcoming graduation. Meanwhile, Alexis fawns over Jackson's confidence in his impeccable new suit. In the end, both also like Rory and Jess in New York, but at what cost?

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 20, "Help Wanted". Suzanne starts off frustrated and discombobulated and stays that way. Alexis is aggravated by the treatment of Margy, Richard's legendary secretary, who endures fatphobia and classism. While both are annoyed that Jess is treated like persona non grata, Alexis and Suzanne love the scenes of bonding between Richard and Lorelai.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 19, "Teach Me Tonight." It is a doozy. Suzanne is frustrated at Lorelai's reaction to Rory's and Jess's accident, and Alexis is angry at the town for vilifying Jess from the very beginning. Overall, both agree that everybody needs to remember Jess is a teenager, and not the devil.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 18, "Back in the Saddle Again." They are both pretty appalled at how clear it is that Rory is not into Dean anymore, but Lorelai's urging keeps them together. Suzanne gets frustrated with Headmaster Charleston's failure to realize that school is part of the "real" world, and Alexis notes the beginning of Rory's pattern of avoidance that leads to a lot of problems in the future.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 17, "Dead Uncles and Vegetables". Suzanne gives an inside scoop on reserving multiple rooms at a hotel, and Alexis rails against the wedding industry. Both are pretty tickled by the final show of support the town gives to Luke after his uncle's funeral, and are also starting to get annoyed at Lorelai's denial of her connection with Luke.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 16, "There's the Rub".  Alexis is critical of Lorelai's attitude from the beginning about the spa weekend with Emily and Suzanne is heartily annoyed by the "Chad" who interrupts their nice evening at the restaurant. Both agree that the spirited debate between Jess, Paris, and Rory about books is the highlight of the episode, and that Dean should have been more trusting of Rory (even though she kinda proves his point in a few episodes). 

Please rate and review us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. Join us on Instagram and TikTok @talkingfastpodcast, and email us your thoughts to [email protected]. 

Alexis and Suzanne are back (again) with Season 2 Episode 15, "Lost and Found". They apologize for the impromptu break and Suzanne's peak Dickens-character nasally voice. They both ruminate on the stasis of Stars Hollow and the resistance of any of its residents when it comes to change, especially Luke and Lorelai. Suzanne is annoyed with Lorelai once again for getting too involved in Rory's relationships, while Alexis is ready for things to get a move on between Rory and Jess, and Luke and Lorelai for that matter.

This week Alexis and Suzanne dive into Season 2 Episode 14, "It Should've Been Lorelai." They discuss all things Sherry, finding plenty of things to like about her character, from her fashion to her open honesty. They also highlight how the episode is a formative and critical one for Lorelai, resulting in a pretty major aha moment for her. Last, but certainly not least, they take slightly different sides on the argument between Chris and Lorelai at the end!

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 13, "A-Tisket, A-Tasket." As Alexis says, this is one of the most quintessential Gilmore Girls episodes. They both swoon over Sookie and Jackson's romance, cringe at Dean's jealous and possessive reaction to Jess, and question Lorelai's preemptive judgement of Jess. Suzanne theorizes that Emily is tricking Lorelai into realizing her irrationality, while Alexis holds firm that nobody is showing any trust in Rory in this episode.

Alexis and Suzanne are back to cover Season 2 Episode 12, "Richard in Stars Hollow." Suzanne is appalled by Paris's ignorance and desire to exploit poverty, while Alexis is indignant about Richard's treatment of Lorelai. Both are excited to see Jess again, and go on a bit of a tangent about bookshelf organization.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne talk about all the things they have loved and hated about the first eleven episodes of Season 2. They also get a bit strange with alternate universe theories and decide the that Gilmore Girls' true calling is as a coven of matriarchal witches. 

We are going on a two week summer break, and will be back with episode 12 "Richard in Stars Hollow" on July 26th!

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 11, "Secrets and Loans". They start the episode off with a bit of a tangent about Rocky Horror Picture Show, the absolute triumph of musical theater. Alexis appreciates the small moments between Madeline and Louise even though Suzanne critiques their obsession with counting calories. Both are frustrated with Lorelai for not accepting help, even though they also understand where she is coming from. They also commend Lane for trying something new and putting her own spin on it, even if Rory is judgmental about it. It's an episode full of quandaries. 

Please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Join us on Instagram and TikTok @talkingfastpodcast and email us your Gazebo Moments (your favorite moment each episode) to [email protected].

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 10, "The Bracebridge Dinner." Despite its ridiculous conflation of history, this episode is our resident medievalist's (Suzanne) favorite episode! Alexis waits with bated breath to see what will happen with Richard and Emily, and she and Suzanne agree that their final scene is one for the books. They are tickled by the convenient sleigh-ride pairings, and Suzanne loves Jess's not-so-subtle dig at Rory's and Dean's relationship. 

Please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Join us on Instagram and TikTok @talkingfastpodcast and email us your Gazebo Moments (your favorite moment each episode) to [email protected].

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 9, "Run Away, Little Boy." Once again, the Chilton curriculum is brought into question based off of their over-reliance on Shakespeare, and only Sookie's great recitation from Romeo and Juliet garners Alexis's Rory's Bookshelf moment. Both Suzanne and Alexis are irate over Tristan's actions towards Rory and Dean, especially the fact that Rory seems to still feel like he deserves her friendship. But, Alexis points out how unhealthy Dean's burgeoning jealousy problem is, and Suzanne has to agree. It does not bode well for the Rory and Dean shippers out there.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 8, "The Ins and Outs of Inns." They are both aghast at the phony crime scene. I mean, who could possibly have done it? But seriously, Taylor was terrible to Luke in this episode so Suzanne and Alexis obviously take Luke's side. They were both also devastated by the fight between Lorelai and Sookie, but at least Mia making fun of Michel was fun. 

Come hang out with us! We'll be joining the Gilmore Girls event put on by Remarkist this Saturday, June 11th, at 3:30 CST for a watch party of Season 2 Episode 6, "Presenting Lorelai Gilmore."

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 7, "Like Mother, Like Daughter." While the majority of this episode is pure fun, at around 24:00, Suzanne does reference school shootings in relation to the loner joke that the show is making. This episode was recorded before the events of May 24th, but we kept this in because it is calling out the show for making light of the Columbine shooting in 1999. We have decided to pull together a few resources for our listeners who might want to take action or learn more in wake of this tragedy.

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 6, "Presenting Lorelai Gilmore." While they are both ultimately on Lorelai's side and think that coming out to society is an antiquated tradition, they are intrigued by the pomp and circumstance. Suzanne is tickled by Jess's costume humor and Alexis is blown away by Lorelai's sleek black dress look.

Jess is finally here! In this episode, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 5, "Nick & Nora, Sid & Nancy." Suzanne is obviously beside herself (as I'm sure you can tell by her extremely expressive voice ;)) and waxes poetic about Jess and how she finds him to be one of the best characters of the show. Alexis worries about the initial portrayal of Liz, who is a beloved character down the line, while Suzanne is also worried about Lorelai's insistence on being involved in Luke's new parenting. This episode may be a little long, but there was no way we could keep it short with such an arrival!

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 4, "Road Trip to Harvard." While Jess still hasn't made an appearance, and that is disappointing, both agree that this is a great episode. Suzanne even marvels at the evidence that Emily has been listening to Lorelai, although Alexis really ponders who told Max that the wedding was off. After an enjoyable, although temporally implausible and logistically fantastical, exploration of Harvard, Suzanne and Alexis are both ready for Lorelai and Sookie to get going on the legendary Dragonfly Inn. And for Jess to arrive.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 3, "Red Light on the Wedding Night." They are both, once again, confused over the continuity of the timeline, but ultimately agree that perhaps the wedding between Lorelai and Max was planned a bit too soon. Suzanne is once again a Taylor stan, regardless of how petty he might be. And Alexis revels in the Stars Hollowy-ness of the single traffic light and its ceremonious christening. Meanwhile, things go badly for Lorelai and Max, and ultimately, Alexis and Suzanne agree that their marriage would not have been great. Suzanne also, once again, wrongly predicts when Jess will appear.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 2, "Hammers and Veils." They are both surprised and a bit worried that Rory has chosen to help build a house... People will have to live there some day. Suzanne is irritated by the unattainable expectations that college admissions put on students, which does nothing to promote learning as a pleasurable or worthwhile thing to do. Meanwhile, Alexis reveals that she spent her afternoons as a teenager on chat rooms while drinking cappuccinos (sus). All in all, they are both waiting for Jess to arrive, but especially Suzanne.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne are back with Season 2! They cover Season 2 Episode 1, "Sadie, Sadie . . ." and are once again tickled by the townspeople of Stars Hollow (that's a figure of speech, nothing weird happened here). Suzanne is reminded in a horrifying flashback of the strange accessory choices of teen boys in the early 2000's while Alexis is frustrated by the show's portrayal of Lane's Korean-American identity. In the end, both are bowled over by the power of Emily's facial expression of devastation, and are unanimously excited for the rest of the season.

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover the Season 1 finale, "Love, Daisies, and Troubadours."

Suzanne admits that, as an elusive asexual, she finds Rory and Dean's make-up make-out a little violent, but more or less satisfying. Meanwhile, Alexis can't get over how epic Mr. Medina's daisy-filled proposal is. In the end, neither can wait until Season 2!

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover S1 Ep17, "Breakup: Part II." They are both tickled by the town's rallying behind Rory in the wake of her breakup with Dean, although also a little skeptical of the gossip chain in Stars Hollow. Where does it begin and where does it end? Suzanne reiterates her dislike of Tristan and lectures that nobody should give somebody a pass for the horrible things they've done just because they are sad and cute. Meanwhile, Alexis is touched by the foundational relationship between Rory and Lorelai. Suzanne posits once more that Sookie could be read as a representation of somebody on the autism spectrum, and appreciates the relationship dynamic between Sookie and Jackson.
