I love Rory's speech, but I think I'll vote against 20. One of the things that makes GG so special to me is how much poignancy they can wring from really subtle, understated moments. Rory's sweet and

11 out!

 

Scenes where a character is acting in such a way that you hate them for it.  (Vote against the scenes you don't personally feel as strongly about.)

 

3.  Emily goes to Christopher and encourages him to break up Lorelai and Luke, as they are getting serious.  "Timing has never been your strong point, Christopher.  You should see if you can change that."  (Come Home)

4.  Lorelai goes to thank Richard for defending her to Straub.  She is hurt when Richard makes it clear he didn't do it for her sake.  "A member of my family was being attacked. The very Gilmore name was being attacked. I will not stand for that, not under any circumstances."  (Christopher Returns)

9.  Dean yells at Lindsay for answering his phone when Rory called.  "G-d, Lindsay, you know, you don't -- you don't get it, do you? I mean, you have absolutely no respect for me at all. That's just obvious."  (SGTDM)

12.  Luke agrees to go to Martha's Vineyard with Rory and Logan but then grouches about everything the entire time.  (AVV)

Edit - On my laptop now, C&P'ing to make it easier for me to update later.

12 is gone.  One of Dean's most a-hole moments has made it to the Top 2!  I'm so proud!  And I truly never hate Lorelai more than I do in 14, so good job everyone.  >.<

 

Vote FOR the one you want to be the top of the list for the most hated moment!

The people have spoken!  Collectively, we have never hated a character more than during this scene -

Lorelai sleeps with Chris after leaving Luke standing in the street when he refuses her ultimatum.  (Partings)

 

For me it's the culmination of the whole scenario rather than just the fact that Lorelai slept with Chris. (I've never been a Chris hater so he personally is not the issue for me.)  I relate to Luke, like a lot, and so I understand his need to have a little time to process things before he makes a decision.  Good or bad, that's just the way some people are.  And so the way Lorelai just verbally vomited all over him, literally giving him no room to get a word in or to even process what she was saying, shrieked a major ultimatum at him and then just walked off and considered that a sufficient enough breakup to go sleep with her on-again-off-again, infuriates me.  It infuriates me to the point that that was a defining moment for me -- Lorelai was never the same in my eyes after that (much like Rory's defining moment for many was stealing the yacht and then dropping out of Yale).

 

So....onward and upward!  What do we want to do next?  We've done Chilton scenes recently - how about Yale scenes?

A bit ditto there.  I never looked at her the same again.

Plus I thought the whole sex-with-Christopher-when-feeling-down thing was so pervasive for a program geared toward young girls.  I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but unwed pregnancies too often follow this "have sex with your boyfriend and you'll feel SO much better" scenario.  Lorelai should know better, for God's sake.  Ans ASP should not have made it so standard in that relationship.

I just almost felt like Lorelai did it intentionally to hurt Luke. Like she was really really pissed at him and wanted to do something to create a situation where there was no going back. You lost, deal with it. The hurt on Luke's face just killed me. I'm also someone that needs time to adjust, so I agree that she put way too much pressure in that moment. 

Yale scenes sounds fun!

I feel like we had several episodes of Lorelai heading towards a break-down over how things were going in general, and that ultimatum scene was the culmination.  So I never hated her for the ultimatum, though I understood Luke's need for process time as well.  And I hold the opinion that she was clear things were over, and therefore, she was not in a relationship, and Luke doesn't own the vagina of his ex-girlfriend, so she was well within her rites to sleep with whomever she chose at that time (assuming consenting, single, etc.).

Ready to start voting!  Voting against three.

Yale scenes

1.  The Gilmores go tailgating.  We've got Whiffenpoofs, dirty buttons, Bloody Marys, fun flasks, Rory flasks, more food than you can eat in a week, stories about Richard naked, and Pennilyn Lott.  "We do not joke with Pennilyn Lott. We do not refer to Pennilyn Lott as anything but Pennilyn Lott, and I would appreciate you remembering that."  (Ted Koppel's Big Night Out)

2.  Rory and Lorelai attend the ballet that Rory is writing about.  It is bad.  It is very bad.  "I don't think the guy is supposed to wince when he lifts the ballerina."  (Die, Jerk)

3.  Someone wrote 'Die, Jerk' on the suite door.  Paris thinks Rory is there to make good on the promise.  "Come on, we're assembling inside."  (Die, Jerk)

4.  Rory hears a sound outside her dorm and finds Marty asleep in the hallway.  "I have no clothes on." "No, you don't."  (The Hobbit, the Sofa, and Digger Stiles)

5.  Emily breaks into Rory's dorm and redecorates.  "Smell what?" "The room - it smells like guilt and Chanel No. 5."  (THtSaDS)

6.  Emily comes to visit Rory because Richard went out and she doesn't want to be the first one back, and Paris thinks she's there for Asher's wake.  "Oh, now, there's no need to cry. Yale is full of excellent teachers."  (WitS)

7.  Rory has a crush on the T.A. who took over the economics class after Richard's heart attack, and is flustered every time she's around him.  "You're all red and blotchy."  (FMP)

8.  Richard has a heart attack while teaching.  "Mom, it was awful. He just fell down."  (TWIMC/IRBIP)

10.  Richard secretly sets up an interview for Rory at Yale.  Rory does well during the interview but then lets him have it afterward.  "I like to be prepared. This has nothing to do with Mom. If you had really wanted me to take this meeting, I would’ve done it just because you asked me to. And I would’ve done it right." (Let the Games Begin)

11.  We learn more about Emily & Richard's relationship during their tour of Yale.  He proposed next to a trash can.  "You had just finished calling me a spineless jellyfish."  (Let the Games Begin)

13.  Rory is the worst card swiper ever.  "Swipe 'em yourself, people."  (TISL)

16.  Dean goes with Rory back to her dorm room, Jess is there to try to win Rory back.  "I'm ready for this. You can count on me now. I know you couldn't count on me before, but you can now. You can."  (LWF, TWT)

17.  Lorelai (and Luke) help move Rory into her dorm room.  Lorelai stays the night when Rory panics about being left alone.  "Adults don't want their mommies." "Yes, they do, honey. I'm not a good example, but -"  (TLFDAY)

18.  Logan makes the mistake of going by Paris' apartment to try to talk to Rory after the bridesmaids debacle.  "You, Logan Huntzberger, are nothing but a two-bit, spoiled waste of a trust fund. You offer nothing to women or the world in general. If you were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, the only person that would miss you is your Porsche dealer." "Want to chime in here?" "No, I think Paris has got it covered."  (IOYO)

19.  Dean attempts to deliver a bookcase to Rory's dorm room.  "There's no place to put this."  (TTTB)

20.  Paris needs to know how loud Rory is during sex so she can plan accordingly.  "I just need the information to formulate a good plan. I mean, you look all small and squeaky, but sometimes, it's exactly the bunny-looking girls who can blow the roof off the barn."  (TaTT)

22.  Paris is forced into stepping down as editor of the Yale Daily News, Rory is elected in her place.  "I'd vote for anybody over Casey because Casey's an idiot and he didn't even show up." "He's in the back." "Sorry, Casey."  (YBG)

23.  Rory lies to Doyle about her relationship with Trix while researching for the obituary, so that he won't yell at her for not working on the paper.  "My grandmother was a very special woman. She drove me to my prom, and I'd be a poor man if I'd never known her. Finish the obituary."  (TRL)

24.  Paris walks in to find sick Doyle in her bed.  She calls Nanny for help.  "What's Portuguese for 'Ow, you're ripping my chest hair out'?"  (BIAG)

25.  Glenn has a summer internship with the New York Times.  Doyle is pissy about it.  "It’s absolutely amazing that I spent all summer in Indiana working my ass off for the Muncie Messenger, and you went from Star Trek Convention to Boba Fett Fan Club Symposium, and yet, lookie here. The New York Times. Isn’t that great, Rory? Aren’t you seeing how great it is?"  (NMIP)

26.  Rory, Paris, Janet, and Tanna have a roommates meeting before Rory's date with Trevor.  Paris and Janet argue about Janet's early workouts and Paris' craft corner.  They decide to have a foot race to settle the issue.   "Now, they're gonna have a nice musk."  (TFTA)

34.  Rory bribes the guy to leave so she can have her study tree back.  "You're gonna pay me for the tree?"  (AAtR)

35.  Rory, Paris, and Richard are having lunch in the dining hall.  Asher Fleming stops by their table.  Paris makes an impression.  "Not too self-important, you made your point, and managed to look remotely interested when Charlie babbled on pretentiously about nothing." "Well, Charlie Rose is a good friend of mine." "Whatever."  (TKBNO)

36.  Lorelai stops by the dorm room to pick Rory up, Paris offers to talk with her about her breakup with Luke.  "And let me know before Tuesday, because I'm doing a paper for my Emotional Mental Health class about how women of a certain age cope with loneliness, and I think you'd be a great lead-off anecdote."  (JaCF)
