Taryn74 March 30, 2019 Share March 30, 2019 TJ and his tights are history! TBH, my favorite part of that whole running scene is "You dried his armpits?" "I don't want to talk about it" which really isn't even appearance related. Just hysterical. Bahahahahahaha. Favorite scenes where a character comments on someone's appearance and/or clothing 5. Emily stops by the crap shack unexpectedly to cancel Richard's launch party. "You have the word 'juicy' on your rear end." "Uh, well, if I had known you were coming over, I would have changed." "Into what, a brassiere with the word 'tasty' on it?" (An Affair to Remember) 15. Luke gestures for Lorelai to come over to the counter so they can talk about their first date. "Those jeans are really working for you." "Yeah?" "They're working for me, too." "You're flirting with me." "Something like that." (Written in the Stars) 16. Lorelai meets up with Luke before Liz's wedding. "Greetings, my lord. Your lady hath arrived to be escorted forthwith." "That's pretty good. I didn't know you spoke Renaissance." "Oh, yeah. I'm quite fluent in Renaissance. You look nice. I'm loving the tie." "Thanks. You look beautiful." "Flattery will get you everywhere, my friend." (Last Week Fights, This Week Tights) 26. Zach and Mrs. Kim bond over Lane's glasses. "It’s just – your glasses. I liked your glasses. You should wear them. I’m just saying." "She should wear them. She should always wear them." "I’ve said it before, but it’s true. They made you look smart." "Of course they made her look smart. She’s a smart girl. Glasses fit her." "Totally." "Zach –" "You always looked good in them. Glasses suit her face." "The black frames, especially with her hair –" "She wore them in the first grade. She first girl in her class." "And I bet she looked great." "I have pictures in a photo book. I could show you." (Come Home) Link to comment

Guest March 31, 2019 Share March 31, 2019 26 because while I love that scene, the heart of the show to me is Lorelai’s relationships- namely with Luke, Emily, and Rory. So Mrs. Kim and Zach get my vote 😞 Link to comment
Taryn74 April 1, 2019 Share April 1, 2019 5 out! I'm totally with Emily on this one, btw. I haaaaated the shorts/pants with words on the butt. So tasteless. So, so, tasteless. Uh, guys?

Emily's commentary about it was hilarious. 26 to win. As I stated in a previous vote; while I love Luke and Lorelai, they're an obvious relationship on the show. I live for the more interesting and subtle connections. I LOVED any time Zach and Mrs. Kim bonded. Plus, as a girl who has worn glasses since she was 10 years old, I totally love the message sent here. Link to comment

Taryn74 April 2, 2019 Share April 2, 2019 So I was thinking of doing scenes where we see someone cooking next. Does that sound good to everyone? Here's a couple to start us out: 1. The montage from the Pilot where Sookie's kitchen helpers rush around preventing disasters while she's cooking. "My sauce. Whoo, that's pretty good. Hello, a little bit of greens. Okay, okay. Hello, my little babies. You like that? A little bit of juice. Okay. You're very pretty. Okay." She ends up knocking out Salvador with a skillet when Lorelai comes in to tell her Rory got into Chilton. (Pilot) 2. Jackson cooks dinner for Sookie, and drives her crazy by not letting her micromanage every step. "It really is, it’s sweet. I’m just -- do you hear something?" "Like what?" "Like someone using the wrong size pan to sweat the onions in!" "No, nothing like that." "Ok, well, maybe I’m hearing things." (The Breakup, Part 2) 3. Rory helps cook dinner while at Martha's Vineyard. "Logan is taking care of the lobsters for us outside, and I am making a salad, mashed potatoes, and Bruschetta." (A Vineyard Valentine) 4. Luke asks Lorelai to stir the sauce while he talks to TJ. She panics. "It's bubbling and turning brown." "It's fine." "Well, what constitutes sticking?" "You can't ruin it." "I can, I have powers. Once the Barefoot Contessa was making a soufflé and when it fell, she looked out the TV and said, 'Gilmore, was that you?' ” (The Party's Over) Link to comment

(Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days) 6. Rory is snowed in at the Grandparents and they have to fix their own dinner. "You must come downstairs immediately." "What's wrong?" "The stove is buzzing."

Richard is feeling nostalgic and makes Johnny Machete for FND. "Oh, this is my favorite thing to eat as a boy. My gran used to make this for me whenever I was feeling a little sad. You know, if my cricket team lost or a girl I fancied turned up her nose at me." "Well, then load me up because there was this really cute chick at the pharmacy today. I used my best material on her and nothing." "Richard, at least let Pina serve it." "No comment on my lesbian hilarity. My, how far we’ve come." "Pina will serve tiny, proper servings.

"I don't know, we could." "Let's do it, it was good." "Well, the Cajun was all your doing." "Only because I knocked the cayenne pepper into your hollandaise."

So, I've been making out my résumé so I can try to get a summer job, because there is no way that I am going to swipe cafeteria cards again next year. My whites are done! Do you know that the best time to do your laundry at Yale is in the middle of the night? You have your pick of washers, the place has just been swept, and the trash is completely empty.

ghoulina April 3, 2019 Share April 3, 2019 11 - very tangential relationship to making a meal. 18 - that entire storyline was so uncomfortable. 26 - you ain't fooling anyone with this happy family BS. 1 Link to comment
Taryn74 April 4, 2019 Share April 4, 2019 I don't know if we've ever had almost unanimous results this early in the game! 3 - Probably one of the only scenes I actually like from this episode, but still, it's AVV so bleh. 18 - The sooner this totally uncomfortable and OTT scene/storyline dies, the better. 26 - Aw, Chris was so happy making memories with both of his daughters, but still. Agree that the happy was surface fake-feeling and we all knew none of it was going to last. Still voting against three! Favorite scenes with someone cooking 1. The montage from the Pilot where Sookie's kitchen helpers rush around preventing disasters while she's cooking. "My sauce. Whoo, that's pretty good. Hello, a little bit of greens. Okay, okay. Hello, my little babies. You like that? A little bit of juice. Okay. You're very pretty. Okay." She ends up knocking out Salvador with a skillet when Lorelai comes in to tell her Rory got into Chilton. (Pilot) 2. Jackson cooks dinner for Sookie, and drives her crazy by not letting her micromanage every step. "It really is, it’s sweet. I’m just -- do you hear something?" "Like what?" "Like someone using the wrong size pan to sweat the onions in!" "No, nothing like that." "Ok, well, maybe I’m hearing things." (The Breakup, Part 2) 4. Luke asks Lorelai to stir the sauce while he talks to TJ. She panics. "It's bubbling and turning brown." "It's fine." "Well, what constitutes sticking?" "You can't ruin it." "I can, I have powers. Once the Barefoot Contessa was making a soufflé and when it fell, she looked out the TV and said, 'Gilmore, was that you?' ” (The Party's Over) 5. Not!DreamTrampLorelai comes downstairs to find DreamLuke cooking her breakfast. He's switched out her coffee for decaf. "I’m a busy man. I don’t have time to sneak around switching your coffee. I have a diner to run, I have shipments to order, I have things to flip and fry. Will you stop that?" "Ha, haha, hahaha! Under the sink, very clever, but not clever enough, bucko." (Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days) 6. Rory is snowed in at the Grandparents and they have to fix their own dinner. She finds a boxed pizza in the freezer to cook. "You must come downstairs immediately." "What's wrong?" "The stove is buzzing." "It's just the timer, Grandma." "I know it's the timer, Rory. What I don't know is where it's located or how to turn it off." (Love & War & Snow) 7. Richard is feeling nostalgic and makes Johnny Machete for FND. "Oh, this is my favorite thing to eat as a boy. My gran used to make this for me whenever I was feeling a little sad. You know, if my cricket team lost or a girl I fancied turned up her nose at me." "Well, then load me up because there was this really cute chick at the pharmacy today. I used my best material on her and nothing." "Richard, at least let Pina serve it." "No comment on my lesbian hilarity. My, how far we’ve come." "Pina will serve tiny, proper servings. Johnny Machete needs to be presented in a heap." (Happy Birthday, Baby) 8. Max is over for a movie night and cooks for the girls. "Did you know we had that?" "Not a clue." "Oh come on." "Hey, it's on fire!" "It's the broiler." (Red Light on the Wedding Night) 9. Sookie takes over Luke's kitchen after the Inn burns down. "Hey, we making the Cajun Eggs Benedict again?" "I don't know, we could." "Let's do it, it was good." "Well, the Cajun was all your doing." "Only because I knocked the cayenne pepper into your hollandaise." "Hey, how do you think they invented the Reese's cup and penicillin, my friend? We can win the Nobel here." (A Tale of Poes and Fire) 10. Joe comes by the Inn to pick Sookie up for what he thinks is a date. "Taste this." "Maybe a bit more brandy." "I knew you’d say that." "Well, people like brandy." "You mean you like brandy." "And I’m people." (I Solemnly Swear) 11. Lorelai is having trouble with light and noise the morning after Lane's wedding. "I should borrow the reception video to see what a fool I made out of myself." "And check out your audition." "My what? [Fred bangs the pans again] You want a piece of me, omelet boy?" (Super Cool Party People) 12. Rory makes Dean a 1950s-era meal. "I can't believe I forgot the rolls." "What are you doing?" "I'll make 'em now."

Luke is making breakfast - for real - at Lorelai's, the works. "Well, I have my things, you know? I have certain things. And one of my things is going to Luke's. And just because I now have Dating Luke doesn't mean I want to lose my Cooking Luke." "But I am cooking, and I am Luke." "Look, it's like Tommy Lee having a Starbucks at his house." "What?" "On the surface, it sounds great. But half the reason you go to a Starbucks is to go to a Starbucks, you know, to go out and see the people." "Tommy Lee has a Starbucks in his house?" " 'Cribs', baby. Watch it." (Tippecanoe and Taylor, Too) 14. Liz borrows Luke's kitchen and attempts to make Thanksgiving dinner. "My rolls exploded!" "What do you mean, they exploded?" "They turned black and they exploded!" (He's Slippin' 'em Bread, Dig?) 15. Richard has his valet make steak-on-a-stick for his portion of FND with the girls. "I knew I smelled something, you're barbecuing!" "So what?" "So what?! The agreement was the girls have drinks with you and dinners with me!" "We are having drinks. Drinks and appetizers." "Those are not appetizers! Those are skewers!" (The Party's Over) 16. The girls spend the night at Sookie's after they realize they have termites. "We can make a nice avocado/mango face mask. Get out the tarot cards, tell fortunes, play Twister, make a Häagen-Dazs chocolate chocolate chip ice cream milkshake, and we'll watch Purple Rain. . ." "Sookie, it's midnight." "Okay, let's go straight for the milkshakes." (Secrets & Loans) 17. The girls have to get creative where they eat breakfast while Luke and Lorelai are in a fight. "Sookie, you do not have to do this." "What do you mean? Feeding my girls, making them happy, I love doing this." "Yeah, so feel the love and pass the salt." (Lorelai's Graduation Day) 19. Sookie flips out the night before her wedding and tries to take apart her wedding cake. "Daffodils. Am I insane? You can’t have daffodils on your wedding cake. What was I thinking?!" (I Can't Get Started) 20. Emily has a taste-testing before she has Sookie and Lorelai cater the launch party. "Now, we would start off with either the roasted asparagus with the Parmesan or the trio of winter soups - tomato basil, butternut squash, and Catalonian garlic." "Very ambitious." "And very tasty." (An Affair to Remember) 21. Lorelai and Rory step in to help Luke out at the diner when Uncle Louie dies. "We're running out of coffee." "I'll make some more." "No, I got it." "Do you know how?" "Do I . . . uhh. . .I am Cathy Coffee, mister, the bastard offspring of Mrs. Folger and Juan Valdez." (Dead Uncles and Vegetables) 22. The girls go to Luke's for one of their four Thanksgiving dinners. "Well, you can skip eating this one if you want. Just have cokes or something, it’s no big deal." "No, no way, you’re the main event today, my friend." "Oh, good." "What’s good are the yams." "Definitely. Got some more marshmallows?" (A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving) 23. Mrs. Kim and several Kim relatives get kimchi ready for Lane's wedding. "Mmm, very good. Not too spicy." "I pack it very tightly. It strangles the spice." "Well, it's perfect, and we're doing very good on time. At four o'clock, we move on to dumplings. I'm going to open another window." (I Get a Sidekick Out of You) 24. Emily insists on staying over to take care of Lorelai when she throws her back out. "There you go." "Mom, I think somebody already ate that." "That is a mashed banana on toast." "Okay."
