Gilmore Girls by Daniel R. Coleridge

Wow. I missed this show so much over the summer. And a new day has dawned for Gilmore Girls as the season opens with Rory in bed with Dean! How intriguing that we get to see what happened in the moments just before Lorelai unexpectedly arrived home in last season's finale. Nice touch showing Dean listening on the porch while Lorelai scolded her daughter for being "the other woman." (Of course, he would've eavesdropped!) Good that they also explained why Lindsay answered Dean's cell phone when Rory called — I'd been wondering about that! But how awful it was listening to Dean berate his angelic little wifey-wife for "answering other people's phones." Um, sweetie, she answered her husband's phone — everyone knows husbands do not count as "people."

Anyway, I was just wondering how Lindsay would find out about Dean's affair when they revealed it all in the teaser clip for next week's show. Sheesh! They gave away so much of next week's plot, I thought I was watching 24! I'm keepin' my lips zipped, just in case you missed it. Now let's get to Luke and Lorelai, who still managed to be all cute amidst this episode's heavy drama....

Best Romantic Line I Need to Steal
"It was a great kiss. If one of us had been a frog, it would have had some seriously impressive consequences." — Lorelai, suavely reassuring Luke that their long-awaited lip-lock was good.

Omigod, Luke said his cell-phone digits over Lorelai's answering machine! I just couldn't resist jotting it down, since he said a real-sounding number, as opposed to one of those fakey-sounding 555 numbers they always say on TV. The 555 thing became a tradition in TV and movies long ago because nutso fans (like myself) would call fictional characters' phone numbers. Naturally, they'd end up bothering some innocent pig farmer in Indiana or someplace. (That's why I'm not including Luke's numero here. Sorry.) But was that someone's real phone number? I really wanna call... but I shouldn't... but I have to!

OK, I just called and it's some guy's voice mail. He says, "Hi, this is Blake and I just hacked your phone." Beeeep. Yikes! What does that mean? Is this a prank? Or did I copy the number down wrong? Gentle readers, if anyone else was lame enough to copy down Luke's celly and call the digits, you'd best e-mail me via the link at the bottom of this column and tell me what happened.

One last Gilmore Girls thing. It's sad that Lorelai's parents are separated, but at least Emily's being fabulous by taking Rory to Paris and having sassy marital dialogues like this exchange...
Richard: Only prostitutes have two glasses of wine with lunch!
Emily: Well, then, buy me a boa and send me to Reno because I am open for business!

Big Brother 5
Glad Drew won, instead of that inbred-looking Cowboy dude. I had a feeling the hottie's dumb but likable ways would carry him through to the end. But if anyone thought I'd watch this nonsense over those witty, pretty Gilmores, they're sorely mistaken. I wanna watch performances by legit actors, not game-show winners who wanna be actors, like silly Drew does.
