    a great episode...
    I simply loved it.. I love the begging of Lorelai to come to diner but also nice to see her make attempts of getting to know logan of course it wasn't great that he tried to switch objects but it wasn't like Rory told him not to and who can stay angry with a guy like that over such a thing?! I can't :)

    Anyhow, diner was funny as were Richard and Emily's antics when they found out that Rory had diner at the Huntzberger's house a week earlier

    Rory at the paper was also funny... :)

    Overall to be short and all it was a funny ep and you really wonder if Lorelai is or isn't considering of traveling all over the world.. You're starting to wonder if Dean could be right... could she want more?!moreless

  • Logan goes to a Friday night dinner and Lorelai tells Emily she wants to go. Rory starts her internship. The rating for this episode is too low, brilliant!

    I liked Rory's internship storyline because it reminded me of when I did work experience for a newspaper company. It was entertaining to see her not know where to go, who to talk to, all things I can relate to. She seemed to do fine in the end and looked happy about it.

    When Lorelai found out about the dinner I was happy she decided to come, it was more enjoyable that way. Though through all the dinner I just felt sorry for her. She felt left out of the conversation, Emily was being horrible and Logan wasn't giving her a could first impression. And then when she tried to defend her case, her parents basically laughed in her face.

    Emily and Richard got on with Logan like a house on fire, which probably didn't help with Lorelai. Rory noticed her mothers discomfort, you could tell that. Paris was funny when she was singing because she's happy with Doyle. I don't think Lorelai should take the offer from that guy Richard sent her to, keep the inn her own I say.

    The museum is being sold, good move I say. Will Luke buy the house now? So it seems that Lorelai doesn't like where Rory is going, is she going downhill, only two left, we'll find out soon!moreless

    Simple, "mindbloggingly" simple as it may as well be described. Why, then a 9.3? What is a gilmore gilrs fan -- some electric fan with the wit of a gilmore? -- if he can live through rating any gilmore girls episode below a 9.3

    This episode is a huge disappointment in a porridge of introduction and retraction. I need not elucidate to any point luculent: this may be by far the corniest episode -- e.g. Logan and the death-brigade-antic-of-taking-a-nicky-and-replacing-it-here-and-there-for-everywhich-house-he-visits? Ignore the extensive use of the lyrical punctuation, as I wish to complete in competent, and necessary, likewise relative, word count.

    I though that this episode was really good. i thought that it was really funny but not there place to invite logan over for dinner shouldn't Lorelai be meeting him before them it is her daughter after all. I thought that it was funny that Lorelai wanted to go to friday night dinner because of Logan and that Emily said that if she comes to one she has to come to all. I thought that it was rude that they were bascially ignoring Lorelai through out dinner and afterwards. I thought that it was wrong of Logan to take that thing and replace it with a lighter and speak up instead blame it on the maid it not like she is going to get fired any way we all know Emily can not kept a maid.moreless

    • At dinner with Logan, his jacket keeps going from unbuttoned to buttoned and back again. When they arrived at the Gilmore's, he buttoned his jacket. When they got up for dinner it was open and he buttoned it again. When they are done and get up to leave his jacket is open again and he buttons it again for the third time. Edit
    • In this episode, Lorelei says that Rory's alarm doesn't wake her up but it wakes Lorelei up. However, in season 3 the episode "Lorelai Out of Water," Lorelai says that she can not rely on her alarm but she can. This would mean that she couldn't hear an alarm that's 3 feet away but can hear one that is all the way down stairs, through the living room and into Rory's bedroom. Edit

Was it here during drinks? Richard: Well, I can't say that I noticed. Emily: You, hovering there, what do you know about this? Beatrice: Ma'am? Emily: My antique sewing box, did you move it somewhere? Beatrice: No ma'am. Emily: Well, it's not here. Do you have any explanation as to why it's not here, Beatrice?

Richard: Well I don't recognize it, but you never know, one of the guys might have left it after a poker game. Emily: Well, Beatrice, I don't know what to say.

      Paris: Oh no Reverend, has the town banned dancing and singing?

The movie is about Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), a Hutu who managed the four-star Sabena-owned Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali, Rwanda. When the 1994 Rwandan Genocide broke out he saw what was happening and opened the hotel to Tutsis and Hutu refugees and saved the lives of 1,268 people. Edit
