Episode Discussion: The Loralies' First Day at Chilton (1x02)
 

Thanks for the next thread. :) Like the pics. :)

It's so funny when Lorelai goes to Rory's school dressed like Daisy Duke. :lmao:

I know. Lorelei is so classy when she's at The Inn and picture perfect when she goes to see her parents at Friday Night Dinner. And then when she really...really knows she has to impress someone she shows up like a cowgirl just off the farm :lol: thing is, she's never been on a farm!

And go Rory for wanting her mom there even though she knows how embarassing it is for Lorelei to be there dressed so...different and for Emily to be there to witness the nightmare of a first day :lol:

:hug: you're welcome. I wanted to do something for the thread to make it have... pizazz and maybe some more posts might come, who knows :)

It took me awhile to learn who Daisy Duke was lol. I learned alot through this show, and yeah I could relate to Lorelai thinking she was prepared and then fate allowed her to mess up. Its was intresting to see Paris, Madeline, and Louise and Tristan as well. Also DSL I remember the days before comcast. I like the Lorelai's hug at the end.

Nice thread. :)

I think it's also embarassing for Rory. And I agree it was a nice introduction to Paris, Madeline and Louise. Those three standing on the steps.

And of course I loved the Emily scenes (and Babette).

That was good thinking. :nod:

:lol: Yeah it was definitely embarrasing for the both of them. I also liked the introduction to Paris, Louise, Madeline, and Tristan.

I think Paris symbolized who Rory was with all the academic knowledge. But Rory knew how to have fun, thanks to the fine bringing up that she had.

Thanks so much for the new thread! :clap:

I have watched this episode so many, many, many times. It's flawless. It's everything great about Gilmore Girls in 40 minutes, not missing one beat in the process. It's an exceptional second episode. The characters are natural because the Pilot was brilliant and the show was able to pick up perfectly from there, fleshing out characters and arcs in an awesome way. I loved the bit at the end with Mama Lane obsession's with Tofu. lol Poor Lane. We also got to see how stunning Rory looked in her Chilton uniform!

This episode introduces a lot of new characters, some that will last all seven years. Again, I have no idea how ASP and DP could have been so precise with these characters from the very beginning. Paris was incredible, Tristan was charming and exciting, etc, etc.

We also see Kirk, only he's Mick! :lol: I guess this is one slip up the show corrected soon enough by creating Kirk. :D

Like with the Pilot I could go on and on and on and on....

Some caps:

I love the photos yeah I like Mrs. Kim but I wouldn't want to live at Lane's house. You had to basically sneak everything and eat crappy food. I would have wanted to see the Chilton Dad again too.

This episode will forever be associated with the first appearance of Tristan. That boy stole my heart in that episode! :love:

I'm actually glad we didn't see the Chilton dad again. :lol:

Anyway, I LOVE this episode! I felt embarrassed for both Rory and Lorelai when Lorelai had to take her coat off in the Headmaster's office, but it really is hilarious. :lol:

I also love how they set up the Chilton environment for Rory. Tristan was intriguing, and Paris, of course, was intense.

You can see from the caps Nikki posted that it really was a well-rounded episode!

Nikki, agreed with everything you said. Love the caps that you included. :nod:

Yep Tristan only was there a season but he was memorable

I know! Mama Lane was awesome and hilarious but I wouldn't have liked living with her. Too many rules! Hee. I liked Chilton dad because he was so funny with the "Are you impressed?" line. He looked like fun.

He was so great! CMM was perfect in the role.

Jen - OMG. I was cringing when Lorelai took off her coat. Then Emily had to be there too! :lmao: I love how the show made Lorelai awesome but not without her own version of "embarrassing parent" underneath all that cool. Hee! I totally agree about Chilton!

Poor Rory! lol

Thank you, Steph! My pleasure! :love:

Last cap, I promise. But the hug between Lorelai and Rory in this? I probably melted 3 times over.... :sigh: Especially when Rory held on to Lorelai and Lorelai was all "still hugging!" and gave Rory a squeeze and a kiss on the head. It's just SO sweet.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!:sigh:

Completely agree. :nod:

:lol: I loved that too that they made Lorelai that way. One of the best characters ever on TV IMO.
