Our final post-S3 five! (Which is nothing like my own list of favorite post-S3 episodes at all---I actually don't think any of these other than BV would even make my top post-S3 15---but that's what makes this game interesting.)  Just vote for the one you want eliminated!

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

I hate Zach in FoLA so much that it mars the episode for me, and Kirk is more annoying than funny to me here. I like FoLA, but it's nowhere near a top all-time favorite episode for me. 

 

LWF, TWT is actually my least favorite of the trilogy....too much LIz and TJ, and the Rory parts drive me up a proverbial wall! (I hate the Rory parts in Raincoats as well, but at least then the opening of the inn brings me some joy!) 

 

Oh, so my vote is FOLA...but I'd be fine bidding farewell to any of these except maybe BV :) What are people's personal top five of S4-S7? I love seeing how closely our collective list ends up reflecting people's personal preferences!

I'm so torn here! LWF, TWT has too much Liz/TJ for me (to be fair, ANY amount of Liz and/or TJ tends to be too much for me, as they're my least favorite characters!) I also loathe the contrivance re. Rory "having" to call Dean (as opposed to, say, any of the many other people who would drop anything to come get her!) to rescue her from the exact same Life and Death Brigade types she chooses to hang out with for the rest of the series anyway.

 

Raincoats and Recipes, though, has even more cringe-inducing Dean/Rory stuff. And I hate the tiresome bickering, mutual annoyance and failure to get each other that lead to L/L's first kiss, though in retrospect it was a pretty accurate sneak preview of their relationship dynamic :) I also hate how the very independent Digger is suddenly an imbalanced stalker in this episode. I do, however, love seeing Lorelai's series-long dream of opening an inn finally coming to fruition. 

 

So while I'm relatively "meh" on both of these, I'll vote against LWF, TWT...though I'm thinking it's totally going to win anyway!

I'll start throwing some moments out there, if I can remember the episode titles.....

 

1.  Rory loses it after she shows up too late to take her big test in Mr. Medina's class (The Deer Hunters)

2.  Madeline hates the word 'blood' and freaks out during the Blood Drive discussion (??? - maybe ISS)

3.  Rory and Lorelai agree that Chilton isn't quite so big and scary anymore (TASP)

4.  Tristan and Dean get into a fight at the dance (Rory's Dance)

5.  Paris' cousin Jakob asks Rory out (Rory's Dance)

6.  Rory realizes all of her schoolmates got invited to her birthday party (RBP)

7.  Sookie sets the bake sale table on fire (Cinnamon's Wake, I think)
