    Great episode. It was good to see Rory and Lane again, they seem to be realising that they won't see each other much soon. I think that's partly the reason why the wedding was here, to get us to see this. It was great to see Lane so happy but her plan backfired when Mrs Kim sets her up with someone for the prom, but we then see Lane tell Mrs Kim about Dave, but according to her she can't because he's not Korean. Lane gives up.

    Luke asked someone out, I know he should be with Lorelai but it was good to see him jump out there. Jess's comments were funny and he hovered quite a lot here. I'm interested to see how this relationship with Nicole will go for Luke, will it last long? On to Rory and Paris, who is still angry at Rory and even tries to impeach her.

    It was hilarious when Paris started muttering about the headmaster and then denied it. And was entertaining to watch them argue, in the student council meeting, the hall. I was disappointed when Paris still didn't make up, hope they do eventually. Madeline and Louise are always amusing.

    I doubt Alex and Lorelai will long, but the fishing thing was just an excuse for us to see a great Lorelai and Luke moment, there's an awkward silence, knowing they both like each other. It was an amusing scene, especially when Lorelai named the fish Luke brought. Great episode, look forward to more.moreless

    Lorelai is letting Lane and the band play in the garage but first she and Rory need to clean the garage. It's full of junk!! Taylor is renovating the building beside Luke's diner and it's irritating Luke.
    The garage is finally clean and the band moves in. Lane and Dave developed a code so the other band members don't find out about them..
    Lorelai goes on her first date with Alex at a tasting coffee shop. They talk and he tells her he likes fishing and camping, she kind of said it was great and now they are going fishing.
    The fight between Paris and Rory continues, it has gone so bad that they are both called to the headmaster's office for a talk.
    Taylor's attorney comes by Luke's with the lease papers, Luke likes her. Later he asks her out.
    Luke also helps Lorelai learns about fishing...with a baby pool! She goes fishing with Alex and catches a trout, then puts it in the bathtub.
    There is another weeding at Mrs.Kim's. Dave goes to play and earlier, Lane developed a plan so her mother would let her go with him to prom. The plan didn't work out, Dave is no Korean...moreless

    i thought that this episode was really funny. i think that it was really nice of Lorelai to let Lane's band use her garage for there practice. It was really funny when Zack was hitting on lorelai and inviting her to a high school party. i think that it was harlarious that Lorelai told Alex that she likes the outdoors and she likes to fish and also that she said that she would go on a fishing trip with him. i thought that it was really nice of luke to teach lorelai how to fish evan though she would not take the cork off of the hook. i think that it was really great that paris tried to impeach rory for the fact that francie found out about jamie and she gave paris pictures of rory meeting francie somewhere outside of school. i think that it was evan funnier when the two of them had to go to the headmasters office to talk and they both had a stern talking to about them being rolemodels for the school and they have to find a way to work together and neither of them could quit student council. i think that it was really funny that lorelai cought a fish a put it in her bath tub.

    Luke teaches lorelai how to fish that s a great part rory and paris are good too but the fishing makes it a great episode.
    Luke brings his own lake and not to forget the fish which of coarse are named by lorelai and she learns to fish and keeps a corks on her hook the wihle they are at lorlais house but she accidentalyy the corks fall off at the lake and lorelai catches a fish a trout actually
    this is a classic episode and is a great argumanet with paris and rory and some of is was good but some of it was so very great and well written.moreless

    Lorelai goews out with Alex, theur first date is to a coffee tasting place, then he asks her to go fishing with him. Luke decides to teach her how to fish (how cute) and she tells him about her date.

    Taylor, as usual is driving Luke crazy while he's renovating Lukes Building to make that soda shop. Luke meets with one of Taylor's lawyers & asks her out on a date (insert a little humor from Jess).

    Paris & Rory are stil not talking & fight in the student council meeting which earns them a trip to the Headmaster's office, who threatens to write a second letter to Harvard if they don't stop their fighting.

    Mrs Kim agrees to let Lane go to the prom & chooses her date for her, a Korean called Yon Chu. She asks her mother if she can take Dave instead her mother says no, the reason, he's not Korean.moreless

    • The faded and colorless Hug-a-World that Rory is holding is the same world sitting next to Lorelei in the season 2 episode "A Tisket A Tasket" when Rory comes home from book shopping with Jess. Edit
    • When Lorelai goes to take the Hug-a-World from Rory, Rory stops her by putting her left hand on Loralai's right. The shots flip back and forth a few more times, and in the last shot, Lorelai's left hand (which was in the air), is now being held down by Rory's right. Edit
    • Outside the garage, they decide it's been four years since they opened its door. However once they're inside, Rory comments that the boxes were put there two years earlier. Correction: Until they opened the garage door, Rory didn't know that Lorelai had put the boxes from two years ago in the garage, so Rory was correct in saying that "we" (i.e. her and Lorelai) hadn't been in the garage in four years.

    • Headmaster Charleston: (when Rory and Paris won't tell him why they're fighting) Oh, goody, I get to guess. Well, perhaps the two of you are arguing over the same boy? Paris: Of course. We're girls, so we must be fighting over a boy. You sexist, white haired-- Headmaster Charleston: Are you muttering something, Paris? Paris: No, Headmaster. Edit
    • Lane: Hi.
      Dave: Hi. (seeing her formal wedding-party garb) And hi.
      Lane: This will not be the mental image you carry around of me the rest of the week.
      Dave: No, it won't. (She turns away and he sees the enormous bow) Hold on, I just saw the back. Yes, it will. Edit
    • Mrs. Kim: (to Lane, who is carrying a tray of water glasses) What is that? Lane: The bride's thirsty. Mrs. Kim: Regulate the water. Once the dress is on, that's it. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Lorelai: You stood by calmly like Dr. Dolittle chatting with the bat. Rory: It was a bat, wasn't it? Lorelai: Wearing an Ozzfest T-shirt, I believe. Rory: Will the man never be able to live that down? Lorelai: Joe Namath will forever be wearing pantyhose. In a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting, Dr. Dolittle could talk with animals. Ozzy Osbourne once bit the head off a bat during a performance. Joe Namath was a football player for the New York Jets who once appeared in an ad for pantyhose. Edit
    • Lorelai: We're Sanford and Son. Redd Foxx played a junk dealer on the old TV show Sanford and Son. Edit
    • Nicole: My father always told me, "That which does not kill you makes you stronger." This is a paraphrase of a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche: "What does not kill me, makes me stronger." Edit
