Gilmore Girls

I really liked the whole concept of this episode, Emily being taken on a tour of Stars Hollow by Rory. I liked the opening scene, Lorelai's shock at Rory inviting Emily was funny and it was a great set up to the episode. Roon returns, oh dear. He wasn't as irritating as in 'Double date' but his comment about Michel not telling anyone about the date was mean.



Sookie and Jackson are quite funny together, would like to see more of them. Michel's reaction to Roon was really funny. Emily going to stars Hollow, brilliant. Loved her scenes in Kim's Antiques, her and Mrs Kim's conversation was funny. Also liked Michel being so charming to Emily.



Lorelai's surprise that Emily was enjoying herself was well done. Actually would have liked Rory to take Emily to Luke's but anyway .... Liked how they were getting along well, as we saw this with Richard in the early episode 'Kill Me Now'.



Then Rory shows Emily her old home, Emily's disgust was done well, I once again felt for Rory though, putting the effort in. I like Lane and hope she gets together with this boy Henry. The scene when Emily called up Rory was funny.

Lorelai and Emily's conversation at the end was interesting, very revealing.



Then we have Rachel, who I personally don't mind as a character. But obviously, I'd rather her not get in the way of Luke and Lorelai. They like each other, ADMIT IT. I really like the Inn thing, would love to see Sookie and Lorelai start there own one.



Another great episode, only two left now!

After Emily visits Rory and gets a tour around Stars Hollow, Rory shows her the shed that she grew up in. Emily wants to give her material to make up for the poor childhood she had. Rachel and Lorelai hang out and Lorelai gives her advice about Luke. She wants to stay and settle down, but Luke doesn't believe it. Lorelai seems jealous though. Lane says that Henry hasn't called yet. When he does call, he leaves a message and asks her to call back. Sookie wants Lorelai to hire Rune as the handyman.



This episode was okay, but it lacked something. I think Lane should pursue Henry. This episode gets an 8.0 out of 10!

New episode...



Rory offers to take Emily to Ms Kim antiques store, she likes it but the best part was seen Emily wearing sneakers.

I read one of the comments and I agree with it, it must had been hard for a mother to see the place her daughter choose to be away from her. It's heart broken for a mother. The fact that Emily gives a room to Rory at her house is very important and Lorelai was just surprise that her mother, that woman, would do that for Rory. That discussion was completely stupid.



Well and the fact that Rachel is staying seams OK but looks like trouble is coming...The coffee doesn't taste the same..



Finally the Inn appears, The Dragonfly.

i want to know what rory was thinking when she invitied emily to stars hallow for the day. i thougt that it was a nice jesture but it is emily and she really does not like her daughters life. i was not all that surpised that emily freaked out in the manner that she did and not all that surpised that she gave rory a room at her house evan though she is not there that much. it was funny that emily at least called to see what rory liked but she should have asked her what she liked in the first place. it was not a shock that she yelled a lorelai for where she choose to live.

Emily is upset when she sees where Lorelai and Rory used to live when Lorelai first moved out. This of course sparks a fight between Lorelai and Emily because Emily is angry that Lorelai just wanted to get out of the house so badly she didn't care where she ended up at that point. It's funny to see Emily walking around in sneakers and negotiating with Mrs. Kim for some of the furniture. This is also another good episode.

It’s some kind of sad episode. It’s a great instalment, witch hasn’t any sad context but in a lot of scenes there’s some sadness hidden. The most obvious one is when Emily finds out how Rory and Lorelai lived, when they moved to Stars Hollow. I really have to admit, I felt really sad for Emily - maybe the first time this season. I mean just imagine, you have a child you do really everything for and only want the best things for (even if it doesn’t appreciate it), and you work all day long and then you see how your child and grandchild lived in such miserable circumstances! I mean that would crush your heart too. I think it’s a moment we all thought, that with god’s sake we’ll prevent that happening to your own children.

But later in the show, when Emily shows Rory “her new room” Emily attacks Lorelai for some completely absurd reasons. Lorelai just wishes, that she had that kind of treatment when she was young and struggles with that, and not about some jealousy issue about Rory having a place off her mother’s. Well the whole attack of Emily seems to be absolutely unfair, but in some kind Emily’s acting is understandable, because she will prevent the same thing happening a second time. She offers Rory a place to crash, so she wouldn’t have to take of and run away like Lorelai did.

One other such sad aspect was, when Rachel told Lorelai, that she tried everything to convince Luke to settle together and, maybe, get married, but Luke just isn’t listening. It was sad too, you have to admit that, even if you don’t like Rachel, because she gets in the middle of Luke and Lorelai.

One other great scene was when Lane told Rory that Henry called. Lane has still all hands full to do, keeping her live a secret, searching for a boyfriend, and all she can find is a guy her parents would have picked too. You try to be so different like your parents but in the end…

And even the funny scenes in this episode had some kind of sad sub-context. For example when Emily and Mrs. Kim are arguing over a price, it’s a funny scene to see two equivalent opponents in that matter. But think about that scene a second time! The scene showed us too, that they might not be such different, especially in the aspect of raising their children. Just think about it…

One of the other scenes I first laughed, but then felt sad, was the dinner talk of Lorelai’s childhood. When it would be really true, that Lorelai’s first sentence was “Big head want dolly”, just imagine, what that really would mean to a child, when all it hears are complaints of her parents of her big head!

I can move on and on, maybe one example more, because I think of it as quite realistic: When Rory and Lorelai watch Luke and Rachel having a good time together, they say “Luke looks happy” and they agree to that and I really think, that they mean it, but at the same time they’re sad, that someone else is the joy in Luke’s life than them, considering the talk they have.

By the way this episode went; it set the track for a really long time. For example Luke and Lorelai get together way later after it looked like a the episodes before and the Dragonfly Inn starts to matter, well I’m not quite sure about that, but I think it’s about two seasons from now.
