  • It's still Gilmore girls but there is something just not right about these last episodes....still worth a 9 though, barely!

    Right, I hate the new Rory, I find myself irritated by her nearly throughout the whole episode. The DAR thing was pointless to the episode, it just made me dislike the 'new' Rory more. All this running everything and being really sweet, just nothing like the Rory we know. Logan was annoying as well and until the end didn't really need to actually appear in the feature.

    I liked Sookie trying to get Lorelai and Rory to reunite but I just knew nothing would come off it, you could tell by Lorelai's face. I'm glad she confronted Rory about the phone, I feel sorry for Lorelai and blame Rory. She just goes to new York while Lorelai remains sad.... hopefully she'll come to hermoreless

    I thought that this episode was really great i loved it. I thought that it was really funny that Sookie thought that she could bring Lorelai and Rory back together by having them be her children's godparents. It was funny that Lorelai and Rory got into an arguement about her phone and how to get a hold of her. I thought that it was funny that Sookie had to go get them so they could finish the baptism. I thought that it was very nice of Rory to try to give her mother her number and i found it funny that Lorelai told her that she would call the house and leave her a note.moreless

  • Katrinka, Rory's dresses and Hairstyles along with Emily's new maid are the lowest points of this episode.

    "Bad"
    By Aly358, Jun 07, 2006 Report Abuse
    Oh my. As if depicting Rory as this 50 year old woman at the age of 20 wasn't enough already they made her talk to all these people at Emily's function as if she really cared. Since when is Rory so into garnish and trails? Nonsense. really. Very bad character writing if you ask me.

    On the other hand Lorelai's storyline was hilarious again. Rod hitting on her with the worst pickup lines was amazing. Sookie scrieming "It's your butt, It's your butt" was a great laugh too.

    I didn't like two more things. Although very typical for Zack to go out and buy these record thingys for 9000$ it was painful to watch Lane suffer like this.

    The worst part of this episode was Katrinka though. She didn't speak a word of english, she was a milkmaid, stupid and what about her dress? And why did she follow Colin to the States in the first place? Just because the States are so much better than Europe or what? ridicoulus. How did Colin manage to get her on a date if all she does is smiling dummly and staying behind when obviously everybody else is leaving. This has to be the worst part of writing ever on GG. Oh I forgot about the kid yelling "My mummy's a lesbian" all the time. Maybe that was worse. I don't know.

    Oh one more thing: Zack and Lane don't have sex. Sorry for ruining your illusions guys but that wouldn't work. I mean Zack understanding that Lane doesn't want might be alright. But I am sure that there is not a single guy out there (plus he's about 20 years old) who would be okay with not having sex at all (seeing how cheating is not an option) for longer than a month. There's just no way.

    So bad writing along with false depiction of Europeans make this episode really cheap. Which is tragic seeing how Lorelai's storyline was great.moreless

  • Incorrect depiction of dutch girl as a milkmaid named katrinka

    4.5
    "Poor"
    By sadib_, Mar 24, 2006 Report Abuse
    I love Gilmore Girls usually, but the part about the milkmaid in this episode was very painful to watch. I am from the Netherlands and the following points were in my opinion an incorrect depiction of a typical dutch girl:

    - the girl is a "milkmaid"... In the Netherlands cows are milked with machines. There are no "milkmaids" in Holland, except in the painting by Vermeer painted in the 17th century.

    - the girl doesn't speak a word english... Every young person in the Netherlands can speak a few words and most can converse easily in english. This is partly due to the fact we subtitle shows and movies in other languages, in stead of dubbing.

    - the girl is named "Katrinka"... Maybe they meant "Katinka", which is an uncommon name in the Netherlands, I never heard the name "Katrinka", it sounds russian. Common dutch names for girls are: Sofie, Sanne, Julia, Lotte, Sarah, Emma, Lisa, Anna etc.

    - the girl is from Amsterdam and wears an ancient-looking dress... Amsterdam is a modern city, despite the old buildings, and most young people dress very trendy.

    - in the show, colin says that milkmaids are like dutch superheroes... This is total nonsense. I cannot fathom where this misrepresentation comes from.

    I hope, in the future, more thought will go in the depiction of foreign people in american productions, because europeans already have a prejudice about americans being ignorant of anything outside of their borders, and this confirms it.moreless

    I loved this episode, Logan was so cute :D,
    But I dind't liked the fact that there was a milkmaid from the Netherland who couln't speak English, This is very weird because we get at least 6 years of English classes and I'am sure that almost everyone can speak a little bit English in our country and I think it is ridiculous that you americans always make us milkmaids and they hardly exist anymore, except for commercials mayby (just like the old mills) and you always make us look very stupid and we aren't stupid!! And the fact you all think our county is full with coffeeshops isn't true only in the big city's we have a few but thats it.
    Before you judge us come and see how we live you will be amazed!! But I do really like the serie but I hope they don't do this again!!

    • Rory: Listen, I know this sounds really lame now, but you can have my new number if you want it. Lorelai: No. It's okay. I'll call the house, and Grandma can leave you a note. Edit
    • Rory: (fighting with her mom about why she got a new number) I lost my phone. Lorelai: Well, if you lose your phone, then you suspend your service until you get a new one. That way, you get to keep the same number. Ever heard of that? You don't get an entirely new number--nobody gets an entirely new number! Rory: Yeah, well, next time I'll suspend my service! Edit
    • (Reverend Skinner asked about their religious beliefs) Lorelai: Well, um, religion. But, you know, I can't speak for Rory, but I have a strong belief in good. You know, over evil. I mean, if I was asked to choose a side. Rory: I read the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lorelai: I have a bible. Although I may or may not have accidentally given it to Goodwill, because I'm remodeling. But, Goodwill is a religious organization. I think. But even if it's not, Good. Will. It's in the ballpark. Rory: I buy tons of Girl Scout cookies. Lorelai: I have two 'Mary is my home-girl' t-shirts. Reverend: Well, these are all very positive, if somewhat irrelevant, things. And it seems like your hearts are in the right place. Edit
