Bustle

“The Mindy Project is full of pop culture references, but, as a romantic comedy, the majority of references are from films,” says Leah Thomas. “Thankfully, in the penultimate episode of the series, fans finally have proof that Mindy Lahiri loves Lorelai. The Mindy Project referenced Gilmore Girls in a way that reminds us fans why the show is important to us — while poking fun at it just a tiny bit.” ALSO: The Penultimate episode was unfunny, unromantic.
