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

6. Luke tells Lorelai his thoguhts on fate: "LUKE: There is no fate, there is no destiny, there is no luck. Astrology is ridiculous. Tarot cards tell you nothing. You cannot read a palm.

12. Lorelai and Luke spar over his not telling her that he's dating Nicole again and how divorcing Nicole is too big a "hassle": "And hey, if it's too big a hassle to get rid of my body after I die of starvation, just leave it here to decompose all nice and quiet - no hassle." (Die, Jerk)
13. Lorelai and Luke decide to destroy those annoying bells together (In The Clamor and the Clangor)

6 is gone, but we have a three-way tie for those final two spots among 4, 8 and 12. Just vote for the two of those three that you most want eliminated! 

 

My votes: 4 and 8 (I think 12 is a moment of underrated, hilarious brilliance and is actually a pretty accurate description of Luke and Nicole's relationship!)

6, 8 and 12 are gone, and the next round is open! I've added in nolie's suggestions :)

I'll go with 1 (it's a nice scene in and of itself, but Luke's drunken, impulsive marriage to Nicole is just so wildly out of character IMO, and I always struggled to see that those two even mildly LIKED each other!), and since 5 and 7 are eliminated anyway, I'll go with the flow. The next round is open, and we're still voting against three!

My votes: 4, 15 and 23 (I know...I know. I just hate how they're arguing right before it. It all felt more angry and can't-they-just-get-along-for-three-seconds rather than sweetly romantic or amusing to me. I wanted their first kiss to occur at a time when they connected and felt on the same wavelength, you know?!)

She's just so childish sometimes.

 

Amen...sister friend :) I actually think 22 and 30, our two candidates for elimination, have that in common. 22 features Luke being childish, jealous, angry and petulant, and 30 features Lorelai acting the same way! People just tend to find Luke's anger, jealousy and petulance more amusing and charming than Lorelai's :) 

 

30 is gone as well, and the next round is open! My votes: 15 and 22
