Today, Catherine and Jackie are guests on a really fun podcast called Gilmore the Merrier. We are absolutely delighted to join host Bran, a longtime Gilmore Girls fan, along with his friends Dan and Chad, who are watching the show for the very first time. They’re going episode by episode, recapping and discussing everything as they go—and invited us to jump in for their Season 2 finale discussion of “Can’t Get Started.” This is one of Gabbing Gilmore's favorite season finales, I mean... those last five minutes!?! There is SO much to talk about. We get into some hot takes, including the all-important question: How do we feel about Rory kissing Jess?! We also talk about Sookie’s pre-wedding meltdown, and we dig into Christopher showing up when Rory gets her cast removed. What are his real motivations? Is this genuinely about Rory—or is something else going on? So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join us as we revisit Season 2, Episode 22, “Can’t Get Started” with our new friends over at Gilmore the Merrier! ✨ If you want more chats about Gilmore Girls, get extra bonus episodes every month at patreon.com/gabbinggilmore
