(Gilmore Girls fan site)In the Gilmore Girls episode, “That Damn Donna Reed,” at one point, Lorelai calls Luke and asks him to search for her lost baby chick that has escaped. Luke naturally thinks the lost baby chick is just a ruse to get him to come over. But come over he does, and he’s actually surprised when he discovers that, yes, there really is a chick loose in the house. Click to continue »
Remember this in the Gilmore Girls episode “Rory’s Dance”? Lorelai had hurt her back, and there was only one position on the couch in which she could get any relief, lying upside-down, with her head hanging over the edge and her feet propped up on the back of the couch. Click to continue »
Everyone who has children reaches a point where she must decide whether to try to be a parent to her kids or a buddy to them. As my own daughters grow through their teen years, I face the same choice. And in the Gilmore Girls episode “Kiss and Tell,” this is exactly the situation Lorelai encounters. Click to continue »
The episode “Cinnamon’s Wake” could have been called “Goodbye, Lorelai Gilmore,” because both Dean and Max use that phrase to their respective Lorelais.
What I find more interesting, though, is something Lorelai says: “The timing has never been right.” Click to continue »
Last night, I watched the first episode of Lauren Graham’s new show, Parenthood, in which Lauren plays a single mom named Sarah—the similarity with Gilmore Girls ends there—and…
Déjà vu! I think I may have seen this show before, back when it was called Brothers and Sisters. Uh… No, not quite, because Brothers and Sisters was actually worth watching. Click to continue »
(SPOILER ALERT) I actually hate the episode “Deer-Hunters.” It’s my least favorite episode, because Rory gets a D on her English paper, and despite all her efforts, the episode still has a sad ending. That sucks. Really sucks.
But it also demonstrates so perfectly why I love Gilmore Girls.
I prefer happy endings. Because happy endings uplift. They show you how you can succeed in adversary. They offer hope for a hopeless situation. Click to continue »
It’s interesting: A day with the overbearing grandfather can be quite enjoyable, as soon as you don’t expect too much of it. You get to do things that you’ve never done, and to learn things about him that you never knew. That’s what happened to Rory in the Gilmore Girls episode “Kill Me Now”. Click to continue »
One of the biggest fears any of us, probably, has upon going to a new place is whether we will be accepted. And Rory’s… er… “discussion” with Headmaster Charleston must have made her feel like a complete outcast.
I remember a job interview I once had, when I was still a teenager in college. The interviewer showed me around the facility. I got to talk with a number of the engineers there. It was an open, easy-going environment. They knew how to have fun and relax while they were getting stuff done. Click to continue »
The pilot episode, the very first Gilmore Girls ever created, the very first episode in the epic story…
This is still one of my favorite episodes, because of the way Amy Sherman-Palladino effortlessly introduces the characters, the way she pulls you along through the episode, the way she sets up the story that will keep the show going for the next three years. I tell people that if they watch through the first Gilmore Girls DVD disc, they’ll keep watching, putting disc after disc into the DVD player. Click to continue »
