Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Another great episode, I actually didn't think Max was that bad here and the arguments are always entertaining. hide show
A great episode. When Max first appeared I thought that this was going to be an episode that wasn't for me, as in the pat, I haven't liked Max as a character. But here, he was actually okay. His relationship with both Lorelai and Rory was interesting. I really liked the uncomfortable scene between him and Rory, giving each other fake names was weird ... but funny.
I thought the opening scene was really amusing, about Skippy the hamster, this show is great at humour. The Friday night diner was once again, entertaining. Emily acting 'happy' was funny and the whole blue/newsletter thing was good. Sookie and Jackson have been fighting like this for nearly the whole series, I was glad to see Sookie ask him out, should be a funny watch.
It was interesting to see Lorelai suddenly go into panic mode, wanting to break up with Max but ending up kissing him at the parents day. Which leads to Paris telling the whole school, I couldn't help but find Paris's problematic life earlier in the episode. Tristan continues to be an ass, that kiss he blew Rory, typical.
Rory's offer that Paris can speak to her was a great scene, Paris reaction was just classic. It then went on to be a sad day for Lorelai as max basically breaks up with her after seeing the light at parents day. A nice but sad ending, Rory comforting Lorelai.
So I liked this a lot again, cant wait for more.

This was a pretty good episode! I think the idea of Sookie and Jackson dating is kind of cute. I feel a little sorry for Paris. This episode gets a 9.0!

it is parents day at rorys school. hide show
well we learned why paris is so uptight her parents do ot get along all that well and the whole school is talking about her parents seperation. that made me feel really bad for paris. i can not understand why lorelai wanted to break up with nax. ifelt like she was using rory as an excuse to why she did not want to get closer to max. as usual emily is all over lorelai she could not even understand what her child is going through. i thought that it was nice of rory to offer to help her with what is going on in her life even though she does not deserve it.
Daughter comforts heartbroken mom hide show
This is one of my favorites, if only because the emotion was very real. For a while, I didn't understand why Lorelai and Rory didn't just face the Chilton snobs and say 'yes, we're dating a teacher.' I understood more as the show progressed, and when I understood that part of Lorelai's conflict was with her own feelings. She's such a strong, fun person so it was great to see this vulnerability. I did cry in the end, when Rory came in and comforted her mom. So realistic, since I'm a mom with daughter's who've comforted me a time or two. This show explores relationships in a real way, and that aspect is surely as great a strength as the very long romance between Luke and Lorelai.
