Blog # 22 - Gilmore Girls, Season 7, Episode 22

Okay so I skipped from season two all the way to season seven, but since this is my last required blog, I thought “hey, why not show how this show came to an end”. Alright, so this clips starts off in Rory’s room. Lorelai and Rory are discussing if it was a possibility that Luke a Lorelai get back together, she says that they probably won’t. Then the clip flashes to the good-by party that the town had thrown for Rory, the party was organized by Luke. Rory has grown up in Stars Hollow, so the entire town has grown to love her. So towards the end of the bug extravaganza, Sookie is telling Lorelai about Luke having the idea for the party. So Lorelai and Luke have a little chat and then they kiss and BAM the episode, season and show has come to an end. Personally I don’t mind the ending, I think it didn’t leave any questions unanswered, which is good. Some people can argue that it is a terrible ending, also it is rumoured that there might be a Gilmore girls movie to end the season “right”. So yea, I really like how Luke and Lorelai get back together in the end because I think that Luke is the best match out of all the boyfriends that Lorelai has had.

Blog # 21 - Gilmore Girls, Season 2, Episode 7

This episode take’s place at the dance contest that Stars Hollow has every year that Kurk usually wins. You can obviously see the tension between Rory and Jess, because this is when we truly start to see Rory’s true feelings for Jess. As you can also see is that Lane doesn’t like Jess very much, actually, not many people in town like him because he has that “bad boy” attitude that gets him into trouble. The fact that Rory has to start a fight with Jess just goes to show how much she truly likes him. I have to say Jess’ quick comments are pretty funny. So when the break is over Dean takes Lorelai’s place until she comes back, and Rory immediately looks at Jess and starts complaining about how he is looking at her and just sitting there. This really sets off a red flag in Dean’s mind and with the lack of sleep he just snaps. He ends their relationship then and there. So Rory goes off alone and she and Jess being talking about what just happened and what the future holds for them. In my opinion Jess and Rory are a better couple then Dean and Rory, just because Jess shares the same interests as Rory whereas Dean and her share very little interests.

Blog # 20 - Gilmore Girls, Season 2, Episode 3

Well I’ve been writing a lot about Rory and her Chilton life, so I’d though I would mix it up a bit and write about Lorelai and the rest of the town. I’d have to say, that this is probably on of my favourite episodes because it is just so darn funny. Alright so this episode has to do with Taylor having a traffic light installed right in front of Luke’s dinner. Of course Luke isn’t happy about this at all, so while Taylor is explaining to the town why they installed the light in the first place and Luke is outraged so he start to make snide comments. Sookie and Lorelai are busy planning her bachelorette party, since Lorelai is now engaged to Max, and they are set to wed very soon. So Taylor is showing off this big yellow button and it’s large yellow instruction panel and most people in the town find this panel insulting because, as Luke says, “it’s written for morons”. Luke and Taylor continue to argue, as usual, and then Taylor invites the oldest person in town, Miss Lanahan, to lead the first “historic” group arose the street. Of course this takes some time because she is very old and can barley walk, all the while, Kurk is taking picture of this “historic” event. Luke is now arguing with Sookie on why getting married is a bad idea and just overall ruining her mood.

Blog # 19 - Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 21

Alright, so this takes place maybe a week after Tristan and Rory kissed, and as you can see, they are back to arguing with each other as if the kissed they shared didn’t even happen. So Tristan invites Rory to a concert and she say no because she doesn’t want to date him. After Rory walks away, Tristan Tells Paris, Madeline and Louise that he is dating Rory and that they are going to a concert together. This deeply upset Paris because despite everything, she still likes him. So has you can probably guess, Paris is now mad and hates Rory again, just as they were starting to get along. So now Rory is mad at Tristan because he is back to his old annoying self. He tries convincing her to go with him to the concert but she say no, Tristan takes her books but she just keeps on walking. That’s when she spots Dean, waiting for her, but Dean sees Tristan with Rory’s books and assumes that they are dating and get’s all mad. But the two, Rory and Dean, end up getting back together again and all is well.

This is the clip that is not shown in the one above, that shows what happens between the encounter with Dean and the make out scene.

Blog # 18 - Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 17

So at Madeline’s party, Tristan and Summer are arguing because Summer was supposedly cheating on him in the bathroom with some guy named Austin. She walks off saying “oou, good song”, personally, I find this line super lame. Tristan turns around to find Paris, Lane and Rory looking at him, not with laugher in their eyes, but with a look oh pity and remorse. Tristan is later watching Sumer dance (badly) with someone else. Later Summer brakes up with Tristan in front of 20 or so people, Rory being one of them. So then, Rory walks in on Tristan playing the piano, they start talking about his break-up and then they move on to why Dean wasn’t at the party. Turns out they broke up the day before, on their three month anniversary because Dean “didn’t want to be her boyfriend anymore”, but the real reason was because Dean had said “I love you” but Rory wasn’t ready to say it back. So Tristan and Rory’s conversation get’s all sentimental and Tristan starts complimenting her and the two just kiss. Rory kisses back for awhile but the stops because she is crying, not because of anything Tristan did, but because she was still upset about her own break up with Dean. Personally, I think Dean was an idiot, like Tristan said, because in my opinion he overreacted just a tad.

Blog # 17 - Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 16

So this Clip starts off showing Tristan and His girlfriend, Summer, making out in front of Paris and Rory’s lockers. Madeline, Paris and Louise are all chatting about how ridiculous it is, how Madeline wants a boyfriend and how Paris is going to get to her locker. Fed up with this nonsense, Paris walks up to the couple and starts loudly telling them to move, as to get their attention, no luck. Rory walks up and starts a conversation with Paris, surprisingly Paris isn’t mean to Rory because the one thing they hate more then each other is Tristan. Then Rory says “God look at that, it’s like he’s eating her face”. I got a good chuckle out of that line, it’s funny because it’s true. Anyway Rory eventually taps Tristan on the shoulder, getting their attention, and asks them to move. Before they do, however, Summer tells Paris that she should get bangs because she has a long forehead. Paris doesn’t take to kindly to these words, but before she has a chance to say anything or do anything to Summer, Madeline interrupts and invites Summer, Tristan and Rory to a party at her house.

Blog # 16 - Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 9

Alright, well this scene starts off at Chilton, in line when Tristan goes to buy his ticket. Paris is selling the tickets and Tristan compliments her, making her all nervous, which is defiantly not how she normally acts. Then, Tristan walks over to Rory, who is ready like always, and tries to give him the “cold shoulder”, which doesn’t work because he is very persistent. Rory suggests that Tristan ask Sissy to the dance. The scene then flash forwards to the dance. Tristan is leaning ageist the wall, watching Rory and Dean dance. Sissy comes and the two go off to make-out. Then we see Dean, coming back with the coats, both his and Rory’s, because the two decided to leave. But before Dean gives Rory her coat, Tristan comes up to Dean and tries to start some sort of argument, I think Dean handled it pretty well. So then Rory comes up, wearing the dress her mom made her, and asks Dean if everything is alright. Tristan at one point says “oh yea, we’re just about to build a clubhouse”, I though this was so so funny, and very clever on Tristan’s part. When Dean and Rory were just about to leave, Tristan starts some what of a “fight” but Dean ends it. It doesn’t show it in the clip, but Paris brought he cousin to the dance because she couldn’t get a date. Her “date” tries to get Rory’s number but she declines.

Blog # 15 - Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 2

Okay so this scene is Rory’s first day at Chilton. As you can tell by Paris’ side death glare, she already does not like Rory. Tristan introduces himself and calls Rory by the name of “Mary”, referring to her innocent looks and goody-two-shoes-ness. Tristan tries so flirt and be charming towards Rory. At this point she is unaware of how to react around a boy, since she has yet to have a boyfriend., (That later changes when she dates Dean, obviously.) so she stammers with her words. So what this clips doesn’t show is that right before class, Rory accidentally broke Paris’ project that was due that day. So when it came time to present, Paris was lacking a project to present. The teacher gives her extra time and assigns Rory to help her. Paris rudely and loudly declines and has until the next day do finish the project. Rory try to apologize, but her attempts are a inconclusive. Anyways, when the teacher asks questions, Paris is normally the one to answer, but she is caught off guard when Rory beats her to the punch. This only angers Paris more and she threatens Rory in a way. In the end Rory has made an enemy and Tristan still calls her “Mary”.

Blog # 14 - Gilmore Girls, character info, Dave, Marty and Doyle



Adam Brody as Dave

Rygalski.



Danny strong as Doyle
McMaster.







Wayne Wilcox as Marty.



Dave Rygalski (played by Adam Brody http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Brody ) was a guitarist for Hep Alien, and was Lane’s boyfriend for awhile. The two broke up and Dave left the band to attend college in California. Lane began dating Zach a little while after she and Dave broke up. Marty (played by Wayne Wilcox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Wilcox ) is a university student at Yale. Rory’s first encounter with Marty was when she found him drunk, passed out naked in the hallway in front of Rory’s room. She lends him her housecoat. Oddly they become good friends after that and Marty develops a crush on her. Unfortunately the two never date because Rory doesn’t feel the same way. Personally, I think they should have dated because I think they would have made an awesome couple. Marty is adopted. Doyle McMaster (played by Danny Strong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Strong ) is another student at Yale, he is the editor of the Yale Daily News during the first year that Rory attends Yale. He gets mad easily and is somewhat of a pansy. He starts dating Paris, some say that the two are a perfect match. I on the hand think that she could do better.

   

Here is a video of when Rory met Marty.

Brian can be described as a nerd, a geek and a germaphobe. He has several medical problems such as asthma, hypoglycemia, rosacea and a deviated septum. Zach Van Gerbig (played by Todd Lowe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Lowe ) is the lead singer and guitar player for the band Hep Alien. He dates Lane earlier in the show but the two brake up and the band "takes a break". Zach and Lane get back together eventually and Zach preposes to Lane. The two get married and the band gets back together at their wedding. But when Lane becomes pregnant with twins, Kwan and Steve, the band separates once again. Gil (played by Sebastian Bach http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Bach ) owned a sandwich shop but wanted to become a rock star. He is another sing and guitar player in the band. He joins as a replacement for Dave. He has a wife children. Out of all three guys, my favourite is Brian. In my opinion I think that Lane and Zach are a weird couple, and I don’t really like them together.

Later at a party, after Dean and Rory brake up, Tristan and Rory kiss. Rory starts to cry because she is confused emotionally. Rory suggests to Tristan, that he should date Paris, he does but they brake up because Paris wasn’t the one for him. Tristan later gets into pranking and shirked off his school work. After a prank went to far, Tristan’s father sends him to military school right before a class presentation, which he was to play Romeo. Tristan’s last words on the show were "Take care of yourself....Mary.", to which Rory laughed and sighed has he turned and walk away. Out of the three, i'd have to say that I like Madeline the best because she is more friendly and not so emotionless.

                      Mariano.



Arielle Kebbel as Lindsay Lister.

Dean Forester (played by Jared Padalecki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Padalecki ) was the new guy in town, he has a sister named Clara and was Rory’s first boyfriend. Dean and Rory start to spend more time together and eventually start dating. They eventually start to have problems in their relationship due to the arrival of Jess Mariano (played by Milo Ventimiglia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Ventimiglia ) who is Luke’s nephew. Jess’ mom, Liz, sent him to live with his uncle Luke in hope to “point him in the right direction”. He gets a job at Wal*Mart and starts hanging out with Rory, he seems to be heading in the right direction. It was quite evident that he had a crush on Rory and she starts to have feelings for him too. Dean gets jealous and brakes up with Rory. Although he was the reason for braking up Dean and Rory’s relationship, he begins dating Rory, but they have communication issues and end the relationship. After Rory graduates from Chilton, Jess leaves Stars Hollow for California. He later reappears briefly in season 4 and then again in season 7.  After Rory and Dean brake up, (while Jess and Rory are dating), Dean starts dating a girl named Lindsay Lister (played by Arielle Kebbel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arielle_Kebbel ) and marries her. Dean soon figures out that marrying Lindsay was a mistake because he is still madly in love with Rory. He and Rory start an affair, which is Rory’s “first time”. Lindsay eventually finds out and kicks Dean out. They divorce and soon after, Rory and Dean start dating but brake up for good because Rory starts to have feelings for a rich guy named Logan. I didn't really like Lindsay because she didn't seem like the girl for Dean. If I had to pick between Dean and Jess, i'd have a difficult time because i'm not to sure about who I think should be with Rory. They are both pretty awesome.

She is a stay-at-home wife and is very particular about appearances. Her mother-daughter relationship with Lorelai is not a very strong one due to her snobbish personality, but she establishes Friday night dinners that Rory and Lorelai must attend every Friday night at seven PM in exchange for Rory’s in hopes for a better relationship. Richard and Lorelai don’t have much of father-daughter relationship either, but it is a better one the that of Emily’s. Despite the issues between his daughter, Richard and Rory are very close. Emily is very active in the Hartford community. She a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Symphony Fundraising Committee, the President of the Horticultural Society, a Co-Chair of the Starlight Foundation the Hartford Zoological Silent Auction, the Mark Twain House Restoration Fund Luncheon, and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Literacy Auction. If i had to pick a favourite out of the two, I wouldn't know who to pick because they both add some much caracter to the show and  i couldn't imagine the show without them.
