  • Lorelai responds to Max's proposal and Dean has a stressful dinner at Richard and Emily's

    8.9
    "Great"

    This was a difficult episode to watch, when Richard was grilling Dean about his grades and his plans for the future. Lorelai attempted to lighten the atmosphere with humor, and Emily remonstrated with Richard for "grilling" Dean, but Richard could not be stopped. Later, when Rory is ranting about never speaking to her grandfather again, Lorelai attempts to put things in perspective by telling her that she is the "great white hope" of the Gilmore clan, that they will see her in a cap and gown graduating from high school and college, things they never got to see Lorelai do, and that Richard is just afraid that "some boy" will ruin everything, just like from his perspective that happened with Lorelai. Lorelai asks Rory to cut her grandfather some slack, which she agrees to do. Emily tells Richard to apologize to Rory, when she finds out that Lorelai is getting married and didn't tell her. Also, Lane is being shipped off to Korea for the summer with a "one-way ticket" and her parents won't tell her when she's coming back. Rory tries to reassure her, but Lane is worried.moreless

  • Brilliant season opener!

    "Superb"

    This really was a brilliant way to start the second season. I liked both Lorelai and Rory's stories, both were interesting, funny and exactly why I watch this show. It was interesting at the start to see Lorelai not knowing what to say, but obviously leaning towards saying yes. The yellow daisies being everywhere was a nice touch. The wedding magazine thing was funny, Rory buying it for her and then this sets Mrs Patty off into thinking Lorelai has said yes. It was amusing how they all followed her to the diner, because they all wanted to see how Luke would react to the news.

    I really liked that scene, Luke told Lorelai he saw it coming, it was actually good to see Lorelai liking Luke for a change, this was obvious because of her disappointment that Luke didn't seem to be bothered. There talk about houses, work etc, was funny. Then there is Lane, I really hope they don't ship her off to Korea for good. Her panic was well done, her little bits throughout were funny, the giant suitcase. Her closet still cracks me up.

    Emily and Richards excitement about Rory being in the top 3% of her class was really amusing. Especially when Lorelai told Emily that she already knew, then Emily was surprised, she asked who Lorelai knew at Chilton and Lorelai obviously said, Rory, funny. They were making such a big deal, very amusing. Lorelai's phone call with Max was very her, bringing up all the things Luke mentioned, she then says yes to the proposal but doesn't tell her parents.

    Sookie's reaction to her engagement was nice yet funny, when she started crying and then Jackson arrives and he gets freaked out. Michel not being interesting was also humorous. Rory and Dean are back together and are going strong. Nice to se them getting on again. Lorelai and the water thing, another funny moment. Rory invites Dean to diner, which just spells trouble.

    The dinner itself was really entertaining. I did feel sorry fir Dean, as Richard was at times very harsh, Lorelai trying to distract her father was funny, liked that Rory confronted her grandfather, his disgust was done well. Emily's panic over Richards anger was also good. Loved when Lorelai told Emily that Dean would have a beer and then he got all defensive, hilarious.

    Sookie then rings up Emily telling her about a wedding shower, obviously Emily is horrified as she didn't know about her daughters wedding, this isn't going to go down well for Lorelai. Good end with Lorelai realising that she actually is getting married. This was a great season premier, look forward to the rest of the second series.moreless

  • Season 2!!

    "Perfect"

    Lorelai is afraid to tell Luke about the proposal. Everyone thinks that he has a thing for Lorelai, but she doesn't buy it. Lane panics because her parents are sending her to Korea. Rory invites Dean to visit her grandparents. Richard is very stern and mean to Dean, causing Rory to have a fight with him. Lorelai accepts Max's proposal. Emily finds out about it from Sookie.

    This was a great episode! I was hoping that the opening credits would change, but all that was new was Dean. I'm still confused as to why the guy who plays Michele is part of the cast. He doesn't even do anything. This episode gets a 10!moreless

    I love the way she told Rory, it was so cute, the eyes and the smile and all the jumps up and down, the looked like two kids...

    That's what I love about this show.

    And well, we saw a hole new side of Richard, the look on his face when he saw Dean and the talk at dinner...moreless

  • What a season opener!

    Well, like one of many, I am watching rebroadcats of Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, and today, the season two opener was shown, and wow! We have Lorelai and her marraige, Rory and Dean vs. Grandpa, and Lane being shipped off to Korea, when Lorelai tells Sookie the news, she is very excited and heartfelt, but this sends the wrong vibe to Jackson, who thinks now they'll want to get married. Lorelai does not tell Emily however, presumably, becuase she will know Emily's reaction, even though Emily has friends in high places at Chilton, she missed out on this scoop! But she was informed by Sookie at the episodes close, where she and Richars were fighting over his behavior towards Dean the night before, and Emily wants for him to apologize, because, "When Rory gets married, I want to know." As another great episode ends. However, Lane's Storyline was somewhat out of place, and it seemed like it just got in the way, but all else was golden.moreless

    • Daniel Palladino on referring to Mencken's Chrestomathy - This certainly was the first time the word 'chrestomathy' was ever uttered on The WB. And with God as my witness, it won't be the last... oh wait, it's actually the second time. We referenced it in season one. Damn! Mencken's Chrestomathy was first referred to in the third episode of season one - "Kill Me Now" Edit

Dean: (completely panicked) No, I don't want a beer! I don't drink beer. I'll have water or soda or anything. Or nothing. Not beer. Never beer. Beer is... beer's bad. Emily: Relax Dean, that's just Lorelai's little sense of humor. (to Lorelai) You're very cruel. Lorelai: Well, yes, keeps me young. Dean: I'm just gonna sit here and stare at my hands. Emily: Soda Dean? Dean: Please. Emily: Rory? Rory: Oh, I'll have a beer. (Emily and Lorelai laugh) I'm sorry Dean, we're not laughing at you. Lorelai: Oh wait, I think I was. Emily: I think I was a little too. (Richard walks in) Oh Richard, there you are. Come join us. Lorelai: Hey Dad. Rory: Grandpa, hi. This is Dean. Dean, this is my Grandpa. Dean: Hi. Sorry, uh, hi. (he gets ups and walks over to Richard) Richard: Hello. Dean: (offers to shake his hand) It's uh... it's nice to meet... Richard: (ignores Dean's hand) Does everyone have drinks?
