Indeed !

Ohhhh myyy !

I love you, andromeda331.

We didn't...what a missed opportunity ! 😝

Why anyone can't see this is beyond me.

Yea, remember when she softened up and complimented Lorelai for being "a kayak" ? Soft and sweet...then the very next morning she was cold as ice. Poor, pitiful Emily.

Wasn't he though ?! And the fact that Emily was so determined that he was the best choice for Lorelai showed true idiocy on her part. Emily - the beautiful idiot. 🤪

Yes ! For example...in 'A Scene In The Mall', Lorelai claimed that she had no money to shop, but all of a sudden--!!!!--she had plenty of $ to buy a ton of food/drinks for her, Emily & Rory. Just plain ridiculous.

VERY annoying. They're good at writing dialogue, terrible at writing storylines.

The Palladinos aren't smart when writing about money.

I watched it once & I'm terribly annoyed. 😬

And then she acted so bothered that Lorelai didn't tell her. 😂

Get a Poodle. 🙂

Fair point, @Keywestclubkid 🙂

I can't remember...did Lane take Rory out to eat before she went backpacking in Europe ?

I'm resurrecting an old thread here, lol. Just wanted to say how dreadful Chris is & how utterly, utterly amazed I am that anyone--thankfully only a few !--can defend this useless man-child. And this notion that Lorelai kept Chrissy darlin' from Rory is laughable. Did she install a douche-repelling force field around her house ? Or perhaps a moat with alligators in it ? 🤣😂 So he wasn't ready to be a parent at 16 ? Neither was Lorelai ! And how about when he was 21? 25 ? 30 ? 35 ? Etc., etc. Now I know there are much, much worse parents out there....however that does not excuse him one iota. Okay...rant over. 😄

I'm with ya. 💯

I saw it because Kelly and Edward, especially in the early seasons, would play Emily and Richard as having love for Lorelai. It wasn't ever present like with Rory but we'd get these moments with Lorelai where they would let the love be revealed. On paper Emily and Richard seem to full on hate Lorelai, and the latter seasons seem to play that up, but what people are talking about is what Kelly and Edward brought to the roles. I do think the original plan was for Lorelai and her parents to all grow beyond her teenage pregnancy and have an improved relationship. That's where the little love reveals of the early seasons come in to play as they help lay the foundation for such a resolution. Instead the Ps played up all the fighting like they did the quips and pop culture references so the only real resolution that I can see for Lorelai and her parents is that they all liked having Rory around and stuck with Friday Night Dinners out of habit. I agree Kelly & Ed's real life affection for LG showed at times. The Palladinos LOVE, LOVE, LOVE drama though. Yuck...no progression in the Gilmore relationships. THIS ! 👊

I so agree with this post. I gotta say that it baffles me to no end when folks say that it's clear that Emily loved Lorelai. My response is, "HUH ?" ETA: Emily's attempt to split L/L in S5 did it for me. Emily cared not one iota about Lorelai's happiness, she only cared about the precious Gilmore name. A shame really.

And then when Lorelai defended herself Emily would sulk. Lorelai inherited her tendency towards self-absorption from Emily. IMHO Emily didn't love Lorelai in the least. Sad. They were both terrible liars.

For sure !

In all honesty I feel that some of the best moments on GG were between Lorelai and Rory.

For real. IRL they would've mocked & poked fun.

I am fully convinced that Lorelai is a sociopath.
