:wave: Yes, welcome! I'm trying to recall what that monologue was about? I think I'm going to have to replay that scene to remember it. :blush: But it's great how much you love the show and are introducing yourself now, we LOVE having new people to chat about this awesome show with. :hug:

Season 2 is definitely in my top 3 favorite seasons of the series, there are a ton of strong episodes. :nod:

That monologue is great. :lol:

Season 2 is my favorite season mainly because i am team r/j.
It is so well built up and the last episode melted my heart.
However I don't remember rory's monolog because I just watch until r/j kiss then I feel too bad for Lorelei(since Christopher leaves) so I stop watching further.

^ The monologue is in the episode before the kiss. It's when Lorelai gets back home after her graduation that Rory has missed because she was late getting back from New York. She basically goes on about how the whole night she was sitting on the bus next to a guy who was spitting into a can and she kept thinking about the myriad of ways she should be punished for missing Lorelai's big day and how she even forgot the album she bought for Lorelai as a gift and it was signed by Belinda but she can find another one and that's going on the list, too. Then she rambles on about how this behavior is not like her at all, and maybe she had a stroke: "What does a stroke feel like?" Lorelai: "Not good, probably." :lol:

That is one of my most-watched scenes, probably.

Oh I got the whole episode wrong. :embarrassment:
Yeah that monolog was really intense and Lorelei looks like she's about to burst into tears. Loved their acting in that scene.

:lol: Ah yes, yes! Now I remember! That was a pretty great scene for Alexis.

Ugh, the end of season 2 kills me with Lorelai getting her heart broken...again. :rolleyes: :(

Alexis was great in that scene.

I feel bad for Lorelai as well.

rj were so good in season 2. :nod:

They definitely had some great moments during this season. :nod:

Thank you guys for the welcome! You are so many! I'm an italian gilmore fan, so..sorry for my bad english.
I love this series so much, the season 2 yeah maybe is the best season! and this week i start to rewatch the season 3, can't wait.

By the way, there are many omage to Twin Peaks in Gilmore Girls! I never noticed before this rewatch.

I never welcomed you. So welcome! And no worries about your English. :)

No problem! Don't worry about your English, it's fine. ;) Italy! Wow, very cool. :cool: Do you watch it in English or is it dubbed?

Yay for graduating on to season 3, I'm watching that season as well right now.

@talula78
I watch the show in original with the italian subtitles.

Ah, I see. :thumbs_up: And feel free to call me Jen! ;)

:bump:

Just finished 2.13 rewatch.

- The parallel-ish sl with the Gilmores and the Kims is an awesome idea. This show is so female-driven and that’s one of my favorite things about it. Also, can these women all be one big family? I'd so love to see scenes of them all together.

- Lane has always been my fave chara and her part really moved/upset me.

- Henry’s been such a charismatic minor character for me that I can’t fully dislike him for what he did to Lane, especially given I kinda see his point. But getting another prom date was not cool at all imo.

- Can’t really dislike Mrs. Kim either because she obviously has good intentions. But both hers and Emily’s approach to parenthood creep me out.

- Jess used to be my favorite male character and I can see why (the books, the music, the wit, the anti-authority thing Lorelai mentioned). But I’m also reminded of how much of a jerk he could be. Not fan of the romanticized bad boy tope nor of good girl fixes bad boy trope, so I hope this show is too clever to write Jess and Rory/Jess like that. (I did ship them back in the day, but dunno if that will change.)

- Still props for “Ayn Rand is a political nut.” During my recent oth rewatch, I was :confused: at a book of hers being passed around without such a comment. I needed this. Ney for Hemingway though. (Jess does kinda generally loves those meh male writers, though? And Paris calls him out on it at some point? I kinda vaguely remember something like that, but I could be wrong.)

- Speaking of good lines, Lorelai: “Patty gave my picture out to all these guys because she thinks I need a man.” Luke: “You do, one with a nice couch and a deep knowledge of Freud.” I love Luke.

- This episode also reminded me why I used to dislike Dean. I can see his perspective more and am generally more sympathetic to him this time round. But I still don’t like his attitude and behavior sometimes.

- Jess and Dean are both aggravating this episode I hope they don’t keep it up. I prefer liking characters to hating them.

- When I separate my personal distaste for living together and/or marriage from the story, I guess Sookie/Jackson subplot was ok.

- Lol Kirk.
