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

Well if there are no more votes with a score of 6 to 4  Jess squeaks past Emily. #45 wins. Although both are winners in my book

16 it is!

Vote for the one you want to WIN!

Paris scenes

5.  Paris and Jess end up at Rory's house, eating a ton of food and having great conversation about books and pop culture.  Dean comes over to surprise Rory, and is furious to find Jess there.  Paris jumps in and pretends she wanted to invite Jess over.  "It’s my fault that Jess was here. I saw him in the diner the day I came to Stars Hollow and I thought he was cute and since I’m not great at the whole ‘batting the eyelashes, look at my belly shirt’ kind of thing, I asked Rory to help me."  (TTR)

24.  Paris reluctantly agrees to go to the Bangles concert.  She perks up when Lorelai tracks down Madeline and Louise and pulls them out of the party they snuck off to.  "I think this is the best night I’ve ever had."  (Concert Interruptus)

As much as I love 5, 24 was a more major development between Paris and Rory and I loved it. I can just imagine how many times Madeline and Louise would have ditched Paris in the past so for Paris to see them finally get blasted for it must have been a good moment. And it was the start of a tentative friendship between her and Rory as well. So 24 to win! ?

I thought for a minute there you all were going to make me play tie-breaker on this one!  O.O  Glad I was spared that agony! 

As much as I love Lorelai pulling those two nitwits out of the party, and Paris' reaction to it, and I understand the argument for it being a more important scene, the whole There's the Rub eating while debating pop culture scene (until Dean arrives, anyway) is one of my favorite GG scenes of all time, so I'm glad to announce it our winner!

Haven't we covered just about everything at this point?  I can't think of anything new!

LOL it feels like it.

Some things I have jotted down still are Emily; Richard; Michel; and Emily/Lorelai but even those overlap with so many things we have done recently that none of it feels that new.

Maybe somebody can think of something!  I do love this game.

Taryn74

I don't think we did Michel specifically, I think we did Inn scenes (both Independence and Dragonfly) and he was just in most of those.  But it's not like there's that many Michel-away-from-the-Inn scenes to choose from, so it's basically the same anyway.

I know we did Sookie & Jackson already.  

Dean....ugh.  LOL.  I guess we could probably come up with a few Dean moments that don't make me want to stab myself in the eye.

I wouldn't mind doing Christopher moments.

Emily/Lorelai is still up for grabs, too.

I think it might be kind of fun to do Dean or Logan (have we done Logan?), or Rory/Dean or Rory/Logan but then I don't mind either of them, or I at least like certain moments with them or aspects of them.

Christopher moments would be good too, I don't think we've done that.

Emily/Lorelai is always good.

I'll throw out a few others..

Lorelai/Richard? 

Favorite season openers/season finales? Could do that all as one round.

Favorite date scenes? (Dates between any couple on the show that we find sweet, funny, so terrible that it's funny, etc.)

Or just a straight favorite couple elimination? Probably already know the favorites but might be interesting to see differing opinions..do we prefer Babette and Morey to Sookie and Jackson? Etc.

Or, (and this has probably already been done, but not when I was playing), we could do a favorite episode elimination in reverse. As in, vote OUT your favorites and we end up with the colllectively most hated episode.

I SWEAR we did do straight up Michel ones!  LOL

 

I kind of like the idea of doing couple moments, for either Lorelai or Rory. So, for instance, we could list Dean, Jess, and Logan moments separately. Then eliminate, say, two from each category each time. Then maybe once we get down to final 5 or final 3 for each guy, pit them against each other? Same for Lorelai with Max, Jason, Chris, Luke? 

I don't know....if that's a dumb idea, I will NOT be offended! 

 

I also like the idea of doing episode openers.

Well, maybe we did!  My memory is not what it used to be LOL.

Oooh I like the idea of doing dating/couple moments with each guy, and then pitting the top three or five against each other!  Because as much as I hate some of their guys (Dean, Max, I'm looking at you!) even I can admit they had one or two good scenes.

I'm pretty sure we did Townie scenes, because I was debating on whether Kirk should have his own game or be put in with the Townies.  (I think we put him in with the Townies, btw, but I still think Kirk has enough scenes he could carry his own game!)

I say we do Couples/Dating scenes!  Split it into Lorelai and Rory so we can have enough for the next two games at least, ha ha.  Lorelai first, just because.    And name scenes with any guy, I'll split them up when I'm putting the game together so we can vote on them individually and then pit them against each other at the end.

Jason-12  (I know 13 will be the popular choice, but I don't think Jason is unlikeable in it, in fact he's rather likeable.. it's just that he never had a chance once Luke became a real option)

Chris-12 ( This is really like a perfect representation of everything that's wrong with their relationship, plus I hate that EMILY and neither of her parents go and look for Rory here)

Max-12 (I think the concept of the chat dates was vaguely annoying)

And just to prove I'm not picking all 12s...

Luke-2. Just ugh.

Oh man, I really like 5. I like seeing Max try to mesh with Lorelai and Rory's routine at home. In fact, I find that Max is pretty consistently likeable for me when his interactions include Rory. When it's just he and Lorelai, not so much.

So,

Jason-12

Chris-8 (Lynnie deserved none of this)

Max-12

Luke-well, I already like all of these now, but I guess I'll go with 10 since I agree with Lorelai, he should've discussed it with her.
