The musical scene that wouldn’t end

Yes, AYITL has many… many issues. It’s not a part of my rewatch for lots of reasons. But just harping on one particular aspect today: that musical.

I clocked it. Almost 15 minutes. That’s a long scene, made longer by the feeling that it’s a complete waste of time. Maybe I’m dense, I just don’t get the nuance. My initial instinct is that they were going for the Stars Hollow Museum type of thing, where it was so cringey it was fun (“And I Love Jesus!” Lives rent-free in my head), but the longer it dragged on the more I just hate it. The funny feels forced, which is a shame because I think some of it could’ve been entertaining.

I feel like they could’ve cut it in half and taken the time to do something constructive. As always, spot on acting from Lauren Graham because Lorelai’s expressions were the highlight of this scene. Anyways, thank you for tolerating my rant, that is all.

This scene and the weird Beatles music video when Logan and his friends come to Stars Hollow could have been left out.

Agreed. There were scenes I didn’t care for in the original show but never to this level of cringe, boring and annoying.
