It's our very first episode! We introduce ourselves and talk about how we got into Gilmore Girls (did you know Kathryn used to hate the show? Or that, at one point, Grace spent 12% of her waking hours watching it?). We also take a look at the different audiences Gilmore Girls has attracted over the years, the tension between the way it was marketed and what the show is trying to do, and how the music points to it both being grounded in and transcending the era. Later, we break down how the episode works as a pilot: specifically, how it establishes expectations for the show, and its central relationships and the world of Stars Hollow. Get ready for a heated discussion of Eminem, a lot of talk about fake accents, and our theories on the hidden sadness of Gilmore Girls!
