We open the episode talking about our meal, Michelle’s pancakes and how using whole milk would mean if we sold it to him he would sue us. Simon advocates watching the non Stanley Kubrick version of the Shining. Abby disagrees. Simon goes into a diatribe about Shakespeare and how nobody in the last 60 years seems to understand Romeo and Juliet. Then we both agree that Richard II is a better play then Romeo and Juliet, it is deal with it. We discuss the choices of Rory in not revealing the kiss with Tristan after she and Dean broke up, once she was back with Dean. Likewise we talk about whether Dean should be at the rehearsal with Tristan present the general character of Tristan. We have a extended discussion of the age of Lorelai’s rebound date who we spend half the episode forgetting the name was , (his name was Paul). And then we discuss whether Paris is right to melt down due to the problems with the production of Romeo and Juliet. Simon manages to get in a One Tree Hill reference for the fact that after this episode the Tristan actor Chad Michael Murray would be the male lead of the show. We had to have noise reduction on the episode which is why it sounds slightly off.
