I don't know why someone hasn't shot Dale. At least we did get an extra dose of bad-ass Hawkins,

I am beginning to wonder about the apparently infinite amount of gunpowder and ammunition. Where the hell did they get the explosive for all those mortars?

I know! Not to mention the ability to form the shells - supplies, power, skill, whatever. It doesn't make sense. And why waste your energy on mortar shells -- why not figure out a way to find food?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finally watched this weeks Gilmore Girls. I didn't even notice Lorelai's blouse. I loved the Lorelai and Luke scenes and I adore Doyle. I feel bad for Rory too, but I'm glad they're not having her life be perfect. I'm still trying to figure out how she is graduating now after taking a semester off.

My guess is that in her first years she took way more than the average load and that was how she was able to make up time.

AP exams would do it. I entered college with enough AP credits (2 semesters US history, 2 semesters English, 1 semester US government, 2 semesters calculus, 2 semesters biology) that I had enough credits to graduate by the end of junior year. This wasn't all that unusual, and would probably be more common from a private school like Chilton (though some private schools now are moving away from AP courses, plenty still have them.)

When I went to PC they wouldn't allow us to graduate early with AP credits, we could get out of taking electives, but you still had to earn 120 credits at the college to graduate from there. I just assumed Yale would be strict about that too.

because she's Rory Also, I seem to remember something about her taking an extra load to make up for her semester off.

Unless I missed something, Rory and Paris have only been in college for three seasons.
