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.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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.

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

What is even happening?
Dale continues to be annoying.
I know. He was so sympathetic for the first episode or two. Now, I keep hoping he'll be a casualty. I prefer Skylar to him, and I couldn't stand her at first.
And Super!Skeet cracked under the fear of his brother being tortured.I know! I was sort of surprised by that whole plotline. I thought the Fake Marine Woman was playing him, and I thought Skeet knew it, and was going to manage to play her, somehow. Hmmmm. I guess I was surprised that there was no surprise.
Also, still no Heather. (Or Heather - still dead.)On one hand, I'm a little more hopeful for the return of Heather this week, because Jake mentioned the
At least we did get an extra dose of bad-ass Hawkins,Yes! That was cool. I kind of like that Ted chickened out, too. I was disappointed for a second, but then I decided it was better to have some people react like that. I don't think I could shoot someone who wasn't directly trying to shoot me, and even then...
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?
It's funny you asked that Ginger, because last night, Scott said the same thing. I joked that they have a gun powder mine in New Bern, but I was totally intending to ask you about gun powder today -- like what it contains, etc. Is it sulphur? Is sulphur mined? Do they have it in Kansas?

I was thinking about the munitions question while I was watching Jericho (Where the hell is Heather?) and I would accept the gloss that New Bern had a National Guard armory or something. I'm disappointed that they're heading for warfare rather than the building a society that works under these circumstances story that I wanted them to tell, so I'm not caring very much.
Having not seen anything else under discussion, yet, I will shut my eyes and flee.
