solotrek March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 I couldn't contain myself and just rewatched the first 3 episodes. The show set itself up so well and I think that's what made the ending so perfect (forgetting the rest of season 7). How close the Gilmore's got as a family unit, Paris being one of Rory's best friends, Luke doing everything he can because he just wants to make Lorelei happy, Sookie & Lorelei having their own inn...I can go on forever. Definitely some clunky bits, and Alexis' acting is laughably bad at times, but still such a fun show. I can't wait for the actual rewatch so we can discuss this stuff ad nauseum.

smrou March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Luke's was my number one home for several years back on TWoP, so I suppose I might as well pop in here and say hello. I don't know that I'll participate much in discussion of GG here since it's not a show I tend to watch or think about much anymore and I didn't even watch the whole series. It just so happened that it was in the fairly brief period of time when I was obsessed with it that I got onto TWoP (back in 2002), so that's why the GG forum and Luke's in particular became my home. But I will say that the Extra Hot Great episode from a few weeks ago had "Rory's Birthday Parties" as the canon submission and listening to the clips from and discussion of that episode had me reminiscing so fondly that when I got home that evening I broke open my GG DVDs for the first time in years and watched the first three episodes. So anyone who hasn't listened to that particular EHG episode, I recommend it. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54039-small-talk-coffee-at-lukes/#findComment-9103
girlonthepark March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Ah Gilmore Girls, how I loved thee! I did an entire series rewatch when I was pregnant with my son as it was like TV comfort food to me and made me so happy in the face of six months of nausea. In fact, Gilmore Girls was what made me think I was having a girl - all I wanted to do during that time period was eat peanut butter chocolate ice cream and watch funny, fast talking ladies. I have to say though, I kind of loved the high school years better than later seasons (although the finale of Rory's first year of college was pretty great). The stuff with Lorelai and Christopher and the stuff with Rory and Logan kind of bummed me out. They were both too smart for those duds! Thoughts?

lulu1960 March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 (edited) I thought Rory was more 'Rory-like' in the HS years (I'll even say, year one of college). While it was sad when she and Lorelai fought and were estranged it wasn't as sad to me because at that point Rory was acting like a spoiled entitled person and I didn't care for her that much. What bothered me more was that it prevented Lorelai from moving forward with Luke. Plus don't get me started on the long lost daughter. In theory April could have been a good storyline but it was just handled so poorly. The fact that they suddenly made Christopher a viable option for Lorelai frosted me. They ALL turned into 'pod' people. IMO Edited March 29, 2014 by lulu1960 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54039-small-talk-coffee-at-lukes/#findComment-10440

Did you guys care about any of the romantic pairings on that show? It's awesome that there's an overlap between GG fans and Firefly fans! It literally makes my day to discover that you guys love that show as well. I'm trying to think of what those shows have in common...humor? Awesomely snarky and quotable dialogue?
