So....Say Something!

[ghoulina]

I'm still trying to Say Something to the Biscotti.

[LeafontheWind]

Say Something, like hopefully goodbye to that Biscotti already!

[Kohola3]

Say Something, like hopefully goodbye to that Biscotti already!

 

Can't beat that so ditto for me.

[lulu1960]

Say Something in the Ballroom

[amensisterfriend]

Well, you guys must have decided to Say Something very cruel to the Biscotti, because the poor cookies just absolutely crumbled in the Ballroom. (I'll be here all week, folks...;))

Okay, now this is genuinely hard for me because I really like all of these episodes and there are moments I love in each of them.

Emily Says the Fundamental Things Apply

[Kohola3]

Bon Voyage to Balalaikas.

[amensisterfriend]

Emily Says to eliminate 21...and you guys don't want to risk getting on her bad side, do you?!

[Taryn74]

Emily Says Good Talk

[ghoulina]

So.....Good Affair.

...We've said Goodbye to Emily Says Hello and So...Good Talk got too annoyingly chatty to keep around, so the next round is open! We're still voting against two :)  

[Kohola3]

Fundamentally Apply the Balalaikas.

[LeafontheWind]

Remember the Fundamental Things that Apply in an Affair- mainly, don't have one and then end it by sending a note to your secret lover via your mother because he is probably dumb enough to leave it in a place where his wife can find it, and then you will get yelled at by his in-laws the town square.

[lulu1960]

21 Come Home

[Taryn74]

Come Home to the Loneliest Number

[amensisterfriend]

The Reigning Lorelai has officially decreed that 21 is the Loneliest Number 

[ghoulina]

21 Affairs to Remember

[amensisterfriend]

21 is history, but we have a three-way tie for that remaining spot! The lucky candidates: The Fundamental Things Apply, An Affair to Remember and Come Home. You know the drill!  

[ghoulina]

Affair

[amensisterfriend]

I'll go against Affair as well, so the next round is open! 

...and we're still voting against two!

[Kohola3]

Yale Ringing Out

[Taryn74]

It's Written in the Stars that you Come Home.

[amensisterfriend]

Ha---I changed mine to The Reigning Stars, in case anyone is interested...and some of these would make really interesting book titles! 

[LeafontheWind]

The Reigning Fundamentals

[amensisterfriend]

So The Reigning Lorelai has been dethroned, but we have a four (!) way tie for that second spot: Written in the Stars, Come Home, The Fundamental Things Apply and The Lorelais' First Day at Yale. Just vote for the one you most want eliminated and I'll end this as soon as I can :)

Heh---I'm torn between feeling sad that The Fundamental Things Apply is gone, as it's definitely one of my favorite post-S3 episodes, and feeling relieved that this potentially messy four-way tiebreaker was resolved so easily :) The next round is open, and we're still voting against two! 

[LeafontheWind]

Come Home was Written in the Stars

[Taryn74]

Fundamental!  *tear*

 

It's Written in the Stars that you Come Home

 

still sounds good.

[amensisterfriend]

Let Me Hear You in the Stars

[LeafontheWind]

I find myself not remembering much about Fundamental Things, and I don't have the time to rewatch. Could you share what you love about it and refresh my memory? ;)

[Kohola3]

From IMDB for Fundamental

 

"After reflecting on her lack of social life, Rory decides to try dating and finds it harder than it looks. Lorelai is still adjusting to an empty house and has Luke over to try to fill the gap. Meanwhile Lorelai is somewhat disturbed after discovering that the designer she just hired to decorate the inn used to work for Emily."

Let Me Hear you Come Home

[takalotti]

From IMDB for Fundamental

 

"After reflecting on her lack of social life, Rory decides to try dating and finds it harder than it looks. Lorelai is still adjusting to an empty house and has Luke over to try to fill the gap. Meanwhile Lorelai is somewhat disturbed after discovering that the designer she just hired to decorate the inn used to work for Emily."

For Marty-philes like me, it's also notable as the one where Marty approaches Rory since she's in her pjs and slippers.

And for those who watched MadTV, the episode starts off with the gardening scene spoofed in their Gabmore Girls sketch.

Let Me Hear you Come Home

Oh my. My brain stopped before "Home" and just ... oh my...

[ghoulina]

Come Home and See Her Face

[lulu1960]

Come Home to Yale.

I enjoy Fundamental. Must be a gut thing. ;)

[Taryn74]

Ugh, I forgot TFTA was when the whole ridiculousness over can't-work-with-the-designer-who-worked-with-my-mom-years-ago thing occurred, but I love everything else about the episode.  Rory's horrid date, Luke coming over to watch Casablanca, the POW! color coming out your yin-yang....love it all.

Last Week Fights, This Week Balalaikas

[Taryn74]

The Lorelais carried Balalaikas to their First Day at Yale

[ghoulina]

I can See Her Face in my Balalaika

[lulu1960]

Balalaikas at Yale

[LeafontheWind]

Aw, this is where I will lose my Fundamental Things. I love the Balalaikas!

See Her First Day at Yale heading right off the list.
