Talking Fast: A Gilmore Girls Podcast

This week, Alexis and Suzanne reflect on the first half of Season 5. Alexis, predictably, raves about the Life and Death Brigade episode, while Suzanne loves the Women of Questionable Morals and the dog that brings Richard and Emily together. They go on a few tangents, as can be expected, and look forward to the rest of the season. They will be back on September 17 with Episode 12.
