Greetings Gilmore lovers! I truly hope you’re enjoying my reviews, because I certainly enjoy writing them. This time around, I’m going to write about “Those Are Strings, Pinocchio,” the finale of season 3, and by far, the only episode (besides the finale) that can prove to send me into an emotional roller coaster. I’m going to bullet point this review, because it’s probably going to make it less sloppy.

Greetings Gilmore lovers! I truly hope you’re enjoying my reviews, because I certainly enjoy writing them. This time around, I’m going to write about “Those Are Strings, Pinocchio,” the finale of season 3, and by far, the only episode (besides the finale) that can prove to send me into an emotional roller coaster. I’m going to bullet point this review, because it’s probably going to make it less sloppy.
• Rory is going to Yale (decided a few episodes prior)
• Jess is gone, and Rory seems to take it with no emotion, but it’s clear that she’s upset about it, greatly.
• Financial aid doesn’t come through for Yale because Lorelai had gotten a settlement check from a track of land her father had purchased for her when she was born. That money was going to go toward the new inn her and Sookie were going to buy, but now must go toward Yale.
• Rory doesn’t want this to happen so she asks her grandparents for a loan, thereby reinstating Friday Night Dinners with her, and they gladly agree.
• Dean is getting married, and Rory offers some wedding advice from her experience with weddings at her mother’s inn.
• Luke, Sookie, Jackson, Lorelai, Emily, and Richard all go to the Chilton graduation.
• Rory is the valedictorian where she gives the most moving speech, ever. This is where I always cry.
• In her speech, she explains that she lives in two worlds, one of books and one that is much more real. She mentions that Emily and Richard are her twin pillars, without whom, she wouldn’t stand. And then she goes into the fact that her mother is not only the woman from whom she received her life and name; but also the woman that she most desires to be. Lorelai happens to be her inspiration for everything.
• Everybody cries, including Luke.
• Richard and Emily had given Rory a car for graduation.
• Luke dreams that Lorelai begs him to not go on his cruise with Nicole (his girlfriend), which makes the end of the season perfect. It came in with Lorelai’s dream about her and Luke, and ends with a complete 180.
• And then the season ends.
So, that’s the end of another early episode review. Please join me next week when I review “The Lorelais’ First Day at Yale,” the second episode of the 4th season. I would also love your feedback on which episode you want me to review, because I have some favorites, but I would love to review your favorites as well. E-mail me anytime at Faye@thetwocentscorp.com. Let me know what you think. Put your TwoCents in the comments!
