The Awl

On My Latest Obsession: Why You Should Give "Gilmore Girls" Another Chance

I agree with most of this (GG is one of my all-time faves), except:

1) Author's contention that, "In reality, sure, 'Dawson's Creek' was actually not that great (especially after its first season)..."

It was, actually, pretty great! Perhaps not for the entirety of all six seasons, but it was at least compellingly watchable for 4+, and not unwatchable for the remainder (the tension re: whether would choose Pacey or Dawson lasted till the very end.) Think about how quickly shows like "The O.C." and "Gossip Girl" devolve after just one ("The O.C.") or two ("Gossip Girl"--though I'm told it's better of late?) seasons. No small feat for the Capeside crew.

2. "...But it's not not on 'LOST's level either."

Ya lost me, bro.

"Honestly, is there any sub-species of human more ill-behaved than a young attractive female?"

I actually stand by that part.

Sorry! I was just speaking from personal experience! I have been out on many group dinners where the party who is short happens to be a young, attractive girl, and her response, in my personal and not universal experience, is generally the same. What do you want me to do?

I am 100% certain there are Young Attractive Men who pull this shit, too. I just probably don't dine with them that often.
