Season Two Appreciation - Just Here To Hang

Welcome to the Season 2 Appreciation Thread at FF!

While many would say that Season 2 paled in comparison to Season 1, it was still an amazing season filled with humor, romance and great drama. It's one of my favorite seasons of any show and I hope that people who feel the same way as I do will come and post here!

101 Reason Why We Love Season 2

1. Because there was tons of stuff going on in the world, big stuff, like Balkans

Topic Starter

What was your favorite episode?

I always have a tough time with this one, but for now, I'm going with Like Mother, Like Daughter. It was just such a classic and I loved each and every storyline. It really focused on what the show is all about, which is mother/daughter relationships. The season premiere would be a close second and third though

Enjoy!

...dare I tell you to add the introduction of a certain character as #4 on that list above [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for starting this again Ariel. Season 2 is my favorite season and N&N/S&N is my favorite episode.
So many great moments- Lorelai and Emily at the end of TTR, the proud looks on Richard and Emily's faces at Lorelai's graduation, Luke throwing Jess into the lake, Lorelai watching the cavemen on stage in RALB and asking if they should get Luke to interpret [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

What's everyone's top 10 list of their favorite 'moments' from season 2?

My favorite season 2 episode has to be either Like Mother, Like Daughter or Sadie, Sadie.

Favorite moments:
1. Chris and Lorelai's dance in PLG. I have to wipe the steam off of my tv whenever I watch that scene.
2. Lorelai and Luke's discussion at the end of Run Away, Little Boy. Luke's expression melts my heart everytime. John Stephens needs to write more episodes.
3. Rory and Lorelai at Harvard - I have a soft spot for this episode because it was my very first GG episode ever. I thought that Lorelai was hilarious with her Valley Girl/Happy Days slang.
4. Mia's visit in TIAOOI. Her scene with Emily gives me chills.
5. Lorelai going to Rory's bed in RLOTWN. It's impossible for me to watch that scene and not laugh or smile.
6. Paris convincing Rory to run for Student Government. Madeline and Louise are so funny in that scene too. ("Somebody thought that you would make a good Halloween mask.")
7. Rory's rant in LMLD Headmaster C.'s office. I think this shows us the real Rory. Yeah, she's a little anti-social but she's happy the way she is.
8. The realistic fight between Rory and Lorelai in Secrets and Loans.
9. The teaser for RISH. "Aunt Cecile and those awful jokes!")
10. Max/Lorelai/Rory on the phone in SS. ("Put Cujo on the phone.")

I really hope that we get a season 2 DVD soon.

Kelly-You're very welcome [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I was really only adding reasons that come from quotes. But, if you can think of a Jess quote that might be good, I'd be happy to add it.

Hmm, my 10 best scenes are probably the following:

1) Lorelai and Max's engagement party (I hope that counts as one scene)

2) Lorelai climbing into bed with Rory

3) Lorelai and Emily's big fight in Hammers and Veils

4) Lorelai and Emily's final scene in Hammers and Veils

5) Lorelai and Luke's phone conversation in Lost and Found and her coming over to look at the apartment as well

6) Rory's speech to Charleston in LMLD

7) Lorelai and Emily's fashion show sequence in LMLD

8) Lorelai and Luke's final scene in RALB

9) Sookie telling Lorelai that Luke is waiting for her in RALB

10) Lorelai telling Rory that she's not marrying Max. That scene was just so powerful.

These choices are subject to change [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Season 2 is probably my favorite season, season 3 is very close but I think Season 2 had better quality episodes and it was very suspenseful for me. Season 2 was the season that got me obsessed with Gilmore girls and made me tape every episode so I owe it all to season 2. Plus it was the season where Jess came. My favorite episode from this season is very hard to pick so my top 3 are: There's The Rub, I Can't Get Started, and A Tisket A Tasket.

Top 10 Moments:
1. Where Rory kisses Jess
2. Luke and Lorelai stand under the Chuppah(sp?)
3. Rory and Jess' late night phone call in ATAT
4. Paris yelling at the people in Spanish
5. Emily and Lorelai dancing in the fashiom show
6. When Lorelai gives Luke the "Mrs. Baseball Cap" speech
7. Rory and Jess' conversation in the car in TMT
8. Lorelai and Dean staring at R/J from outside the diner in TTR
9. When Lorelai and Sookie are the only ones cheering loudly at the Chilton Speech in ISBL
10. Paris yelling at Brad in BITSA

Season 2, definitely my second favorite season. The dialogue was still way up there in quality.

Some of my favorite moments.










Eh, I'll stop. That's from about the first half of the season. Plenty more after that.

Thanks for starting to thread, Ariel, I never got around to it last time FF went down [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] Oops.

Anywho... I love Sadie, Sadie, I just think its such an intense episode that really shines out in the S2 season. The season couldn't have started better with the premiere of SS and HAV. The first few episodes were probably the best in my opinion, but I still say that There's the Rub was my favourite overall [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lots of Love!

I loved Season Two, even the Jess/Rory stuff cause it wasn't so bad back then. I think my fave episode is "A Tisket A Tasket" cause I loved the Sookie/Jackson stuff and my heart really broke for Lane when Henry broke it off with her. I also liked Max/Lorelai so the first part of the season was nice.

I loved LMLD. I liked it all, but her speech was my favorite part.

In which episode were Lorelai and Chris dancing? Thanks.
