  • Sookie's wedding day arrives. A good finale, not the best episode of the season but a good end.

    9.4
    "Superb"
    As always this was a great episode of Gilmore Girls. It had comedy, drama, all thrown into the mix. I don't know, it just wasn't as brilliant as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it was a really great episode, I just didn't think it was the best finale they could have done.

    Maybe it was due to Christopher's presence, he had a big one and it mind of didn't have to do with other storylines from the season. I think he's alright as a character but it felt a tad rushed. Seriously there were great parts in the episode. A major highlight being Rory finally kissing Jess. Probably my favourite scene of the episode, it was really well done.

    I think I liked it so much because it has been leading up to it for a number of episodes and I like them as a couple. It was great how Rory gave in, then ran off, shocked what she had done. I wonder if Jess will be a different guy next season. He seems to be getting better here, his talk with Luke was a good sign.

    Luke and Lorelai not making up was a bit annoying, especially how distant Luke was being to her, I mean she did apologise. I do think Chris and Lorelai as a couple is good, I just would have preferred him maybe to come back in the episode before, set it up a little bit.

    Sookie and Jackson bits were good, like the kilt, Sookie freaking out but I didn't think there was enough. maybe a bit more would have been good. Paris was entertaining, her talks with Madeline and Louise were amusing. As was Emily and Richards disgust at the 'pity invite'.

    Sherry being pregnant wasn't a shock only because I read about it, maybe it made it less enjoyable. I still liked the turn of events, it was too good to be true with them becoming a family again. Should be an interesting story as well. Liked Lorelai's reaction to it.

    The end was good, both the Gilmore girls walking down the aisle. So it was a good finale, I really can't wait to watch the season three box set.moreless

  • My review makes sense of what I am about to express. If only Jess and Rory's love could've lasted.

    'Tearjerker' best classifies this episode because after the many pivotal and overwhelming developments that occur, one cannot help but become teary-eyed when all is relaxed at the most heart-pounding and satisfiying momement of the show. It's the dream of every guy and girl: to feel at peace, enraptured, & whole, by the one you love.

    I reference when Rory impulsively & passionatly kisses Jess, on his return to Star's Hollow. It is at Sookie's wedding under a veil of ivory blossomed trees, an unexpected consumation of teen love neccessary to release and relieve the built-up pressures of the episode.moreless

  • Preparations for Sookie and Jackson's wedding, and interactions between Lorelai and Christopher

    9.2
    "Superb"
    The major focus of this episode was the relationship between Christopher and Lorelai. He comes into town to see Rory get her cast off, and decides to stay for Sookie and Jackson's wedding. He has a room at the Inn, and he and Lorelai spend the night together. It seems that Lorelai and Christopher are going to "take up where they left off" and form the traditional family of mom, dad, and daughter Rory. But then Christopher gets a devestating phone call from Sherry, who tells him she's pregnant. Suddenly all of Christopher and Lorelai's plans are out the window.

    The other major thing going on in this episode is preparaton for Sookie and Jackson's wedding. Sookie gets nervous the night before the wedding, but Lorelai calms her down. Then, at the wedding, Rory sees Jess and impulsively gives him a passionate kiss. She then runs off, stunned at what she has done.moreless

    Sookie is getting married and soon.
    The Inn is beautiful and looks like everyone is back.

    Lorelai invites Emily and Richard to the wedding and she finally enters Luke's diner.

    Rory and Dean are OK and Paris is running for the student body.
    She is considered the most intelligent and efficient but not the most friendly so she bags Rory to be vice-president. She says yes.

    Rory plaster comes off and Chris arrives to see it.
    At the rehearsal dinner he confesses that the things between him and Sherrie are not great.

    Later he and Lorelai sleep together and think about trying to be together.
    Sookie is freaking out with the dress, the cake, everything.

    Jess is back, he really wants to come back to Stars Hollow.

    At the weeding Rory and Jess kiss and Chris finds out that Sherrie is pregnant and he leaves.

    It's a weird way to be at a wedding but OK.

    I wish we could see the actual wedding...moreless

  • This is a very funny episode where Sookie is getting ready to get married to Jackson and Christopher comes back to visit Lorelai and Rory. This episode is filled with so many funny scenes and our favorite phrase, oy with the poodles already!moreless

    This apisode is a perfect example of why I like this series. There is never a dull moment when you watch a show like this. This is one of my favorite episodes because Sookie is getting married, Jess comes back for Rory, Christopher comes back for Lorelai, Lorelai is trying to get Luke back, and of course, there is always Emily and Richard. My two favorite parts are when Sookie totally freaks about her wedding and comes to the inn wearing her wedding dress, and flipping out about the flowers that are on the cake and what she is going to serve and of course, the phrase that knocked "what'cha doin Willis" out of first place, "Oy with the poodles already!"moreless

    • Rory tells her father that she and Lorelai take disappointment badly and property damage is often involved. This actually ends up being true, when in the episode "Take the Deviled Eggs..." Rory and Lorelai deviled egg Jess' car. Edit
    • When Madeline and Louise are discussing with Paris how her lack of likability will affect the school election and Paris asks what she should do, Madeline suggests that she hope for a sex scandal, a suggestion that Paris, in her usual overzealous manner, seems to support. Ironically, in the season 3 episode 16, "The Big One", Paris has a real sex scandal, when she rants on C-SPAN about sleeping with Jamie and not getting into Harvard. Edit

Luke: I also enjoyed the Garfield stationary. That's one funny cat. Lorelai: I said I was sorry, Luke. Luke: Yes, you did. Lorelai: I said it like a million times. Luke: You said it four times, but I understand you're embellishing for dramatic effects. Lorelai: Stop. Luke: Stop what? Lorelai: Oh, stop this robot talk. If you're mad, just act like you're mad at me. Luke: I'm not mad at you. Lorelai: You're being really, really unfair. Rory was in the hospital. Luke: Lorelai, what is it exactly that you want me to do? I'm not mad, I'm not holding a grudge, I heard your apology, I feel I'm being polite, I listened to your donut bit, I got you your coffee.

Lorelai: I would love you to stay, thanks for offering. Michel: Okay, see, once again, my English not so good. One more time. I am going home now after working six hours longer than I usually work and performing tasks I despise and am ashamed of, and now I am going home to wash off the stench of this horrifying day, that is, unless, for some unknown Godforsaken reason, you need me to stay. Lorelai: Well, actually... Michel: Goodbye. Edit
