i dont think i have ever rewatched! its almost like watching for the first time again. ( i mean i saw random episodes with my sister when they aired, then i watched the entire series once but that was years ago! maybe like 2008 or something)

so yeah, this has been so fun!

episode 9 was amazing, i loved all the stuff with tristan and rory. he was a jerk but he had a heart and its sucks we didnt get more closure on him. but it was fun. i love chad.

Lindsay

I love the LL scene at the end of that ep.

Talula78

Yeah, I kinda was interested in seeing where his character would go? Oh well.

That's so cool to rewatch it after so much time has passed, it IS like discovering the show all over again. I'm enjoying reading your thoughts, so keep 'em comin!

Alexa

good, thanks! its nice to be able to talk about it and know people actually are reading it. lol.

i definitely am discovering new things. there is a lot i forgot about.

episode 10:
"do they not understand we are unapologetic mockers?"

classic line.

great episode though, love christmas themed episodes and the snow puts me in such a good mood!

i do love the rory/paris friendship and how rory can soften her.

jess iS a jerk yes, but i feel like deep down he has so much more to him and i like how rory can bring that out.

the l/l sleight ride was uber cute. so was the r/j one.

I have a love and hate relationship with brace bridge dinner I like the family stuff but I hate it's a start of Dean/jess/rory love triangle which annoyed for many reasons

Alexa

i like it. its a lot more interesting. just dean/rory bored me so much in season 1.

episode 11:

lorelai is so dang stubborn sometimes. i understand why she doesnt want help from her mom but jeez sometimes she needs to swallow her pride a bit! her mom co signed the loan and lorelai thinks she wants something. sometimes its just sad.

and rory getting annoyed with lane being a cheerleader was lame too. she should have been more supportive if its something lane wanted to do. I'm glad she came around in the end.

it was sweet that luke offered to help lorelai too.

Lindsay

I wish Lorelai would have just let her parents help in the first place. But that's who she is. She needs to be independent.

Alexa

episode 12:

wow richard was obnoxious this episode.

epsiode 13:

loved this episode, loved the whole basket theme and luke bidding on lorelai . that was so cute.

the rory/jess thing was messed up. rory really shouldn't have gone with jess! and i think that should have been a clear warning sign to dean. but he did kind of overreact. if he had any trust in rory at all he wouldn't have flipped out. but they were so cute and then rory calling him at the end was really adorable.

sookie/jackson was a little rushed imo, they haven't been dating that long but oh well.

episode 14:

this was an okay episode. i found sheri to be really annoying and christophers reaction to lor's confession said a lot about his feelings. its obvious she really hurt and he's just trying to force himself to move on.

215

love love loved this episode. lorelai's hatred of jess bothers me. he brought he bracelet back because he realized how important it was to rory and lorelai doesnt realize it. its annoying.

with that said, her and jess have so much more in common then her and dean.


216:

loved seeing lorelai and emily have some mother/daughter time, that was cute.

jess coming by to see rory. and it wasn't lukes idea!

dean is so dang uptight but i will try not to repeat myself anymore.

Alexa

sorry to double post but this page was lost.

217 was a fun episode, i loved seeing lorelai be there for Luke.

Rory/Jess banter was fun. She likes him so much.

Talula78

Don't worry, Alex, you didn't double post because your last post was made on the 20th. I haven't replied because I've just picked up my re-watch the other night and I'm only on the 3rd episode of season 2. Once I get caught up with you, I'll be able to comment more.

I just finished that 3rd episode and I loved the heightened drama between Lorelai & Emily over Lorelai & Max's wedding! I kinda see it from both sides, but it's still frustrating to see their lack of communication & pettiness between them.

Alexa

218 was an okay episode, not the greatest.

i felt bad for dean actually, Rory so obviously isn't interested anymore.

219 was a great one! loved the focus on rory/jess and jess!

lorelai way overreacted to the car accident and she shouldn't have freaked out on luke. that wasnt fair. its not lukes fault what jess does. and the accident wasnt even jess' fault.

i hate that luke just lets jess smoke though.

220 was alright. not my favorite episode. i found it pathetic that rory couldnt just tell dean what happened she had to write him a letter about it? so weird.

but i love that she stood up to lorelai about jess. jess is a brat but he wasnt responsible for the accident.

221 i didnt even know lorelai was in school.

sucks that rory missed her moms graduation. but i did love her scenes with jess, they were really cute.


222 great finale!

rory/jess kiss omg one of my favorite moments on the show. it was such a good kiss!

on the other hand i hated the chris/lorelai kiss because i dont think its smart to dredge up the past again. especially when he's still with sherri. no bueno. and now she's pregnant, yikes.

way to end on a cliffhanger!

Alexa

Gonna do this again because I finished season 2!

Favorite/Least Favorite Character
Favorite this season was Jess! I thought Milo was a great addition to the cast and he fit in perfectly. Still also loved Rory, Luke, Lorelai, Emily, Sookie, and Paris as well.
Least favorite was Dean, yet again.

Favorite/Least favorite couple
Rory/Jess! God I loved their build up and interaction. Still loved LL too but they were a bit angstier this season it seemed.
Least favorite was Rory/Dean. It was hard watching Rory lose interest. I felt bad for him.

Fav/Least fav friendships
still the same ones from last season. rory/lorelai. paris/rory. lorelai/emily. also liked the interactions with jess/luke and luke/rory.

Favourite/least fav Storyline Arc:
favorite was after rory realized she had feelings for jess and all their interactions.
least favorite was probably anything involving richard. i like him small doses but not when the focus is on him.

Favourite/Least fav Episode
Favorite episodes were 204, 210, 213, 219, 222
least favorites were probably the first few regarding max and the wedding, and maybe 211 and 218.

Most shocking moment? Saddest moment?
saddest was maybe all the rory/lorelai and lorelai/luke fights, as well as dean realizing rory had feelings for jess.
most shocking im not sure. maybe the accident episode because the show never really went to that extreme before.

What were you disappointed with?/what would you change/have done differently?
once again i wouldn't chance much, i like how the show progresses naturally and everything seems to stay in continuality. i maybe would have had more L/L friend interaction because there was a lot of anger this year. And i think sometimes they make Lorelai too childish.

What storyline/relationship/character/etc. would you have liked more development for?
i think lane was kind of in the background this season and id liked to see more about her.

What do you want to see happen next year?
If I didnt know where it was going id have said:
-l/l's romantic storyline making quicker progress.
-rory/jess dating.
-rory graduating from chilton.
(again all these happened)


How does this season compare to previous seasons?
Really great season, I am not sure whether I liked it more than season 1. I liked season 2 because of Jess and Rory/Jess but i preferred LL in season 1 and most of the season 1 storylines so its tough! I'd probably say season 1 had a tiny bit of an edge for me.

Lindsay

Congrats on finishing S2.

i guys, i'm new here! I'm a big fan of Gilmore Girls since...ever.. and for the revival i start my personal rewatch of the series.

The season 2 is incredible, even better of the first season. Every episode is a great episode, very but very rare this kind of costant quality in television week after week. The force and the vitality of the two Palladino is incredible and always surprise me.
The episode 21 with Rory and Jess in New York is a little cult for me and in the final scene maybe we found the longest monologue of the series...not by
Lorelai but Rory.

22 Umbrellas

^ Welcome! I've always loved Rory's lengthy and meandering monolgue at the end of that episode. Hilarious.

I did a re-watch of this season a few months ago. Collectively speaking, I still maintain it's the best season the show has ever done. "Road Trip to Harvard," "Run Away, Little Boy," "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," "There's the Rub," and "Lorelai's Graduation Day," are all classics and some of my favorite episodes.
