"Gilmore Girls" Summer DVD Review - "First Day at Yale"

Gilmore Girls
“The Lorelais’ First Day at Yale”

Original Air Date: September 30, 2003

Hello again everybody! I hope you all can enjoy the end of your summer the way you should enjoy it. I know that I personally have a few day-trips planned with friends, and babysitting to save money for the trips in the future . But anyways, with summer coming to an end, it reminds me of last summer, around this time, when I moved up to school, and the summer before, when I did the same. This year, I’m going to school locally, but my sister moves away in two weeks. Because of these events that I’m reminded of, or that are coming up, I’ve decided to review “The Lorelas’ First Day at Yale” so I can discuss Rory’s experience moving away from home.

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.

This episode is, without a shadow of a doubt, my favorite Gilmore Girls episode, EVER. “The Big One” is filled with excitement, angst, wonderment, sadness, and joy. It features a fight involving Paris and it features wonderful cast returns! Basically, I love this episode.

"Gilmore Girl" Summer DVD Review - "Teach Me Tonight"

Gilmore Girls
“Teach Me Tonight”

Original Air Date: April 30, 2002

Before I get started-let me apologize to all you readers out there for not having a review last week. Things have been crazy for my family and I was unable to get one out, but don’t worry-the Gilmore reviews will still come out!

“Teach Me Tonight” happens to be one of my favorite episodes of Gilmore Girls for a few reasons. First, it gives a chance for Rory and Jess to get closer, and second, it provides yet another WONDERFUL fight between Luke and Lorelai. I love fights with Luke and Lorelai, they always add so much to the show.

"Gilmore Girls" DVD Review - "Love, Daisies, and Troubadours"

Gilmore Girls
Love, Daisies, and Troubadours

Original Air Date: May 10, 2001

One of my favorite things about Gilmore Girls is that every single year, there is a great finale. Now, there really has only been one main CLIFFHANGER and that was in season 5, but each finale provides viewers with a sense of future for the characters as well as a sense of closure for the things that happened during the season preceding it. The season 1 finale did just that. In “Love, Daisies, and Troubadours,” the girls are both figuring out some things that they need to deal with, but the entire episode provided a sense of hope for them. I was very pleased by this finale, and I’m not ashamed to say that I did shed a few tears in the process.

"Gilmore Girls" DVD Review - "Christopher Returns"

Gilmore Girls
Christopher Returns

DVD Season 1, Episode 15

I remember when I first saw this episode. I had been watching the show with a friend on DVD about 3 years ago and I remember hearing about Christopher but thinking that I’d never see him because a lot of shows do that. They mention someone over and over, but we never get to meet them. When I saw the episode title for “Christopher Returns,” I couldn’t wait! We watched the other episodes on that disc, and at the end of the episode before, “That Damn Donna Reed,” Christopher definitely returned! I remember thinking that he was cute, and the motorcycle thing just threw me over the edge! I couldn’t wait to start the next episode.

"Gilmore Girls" DVD Review - "The Pilot"

Gilmore Girls
Pilot

DVD Season 1

If I’m going to be reviewing my favorite episodes of Gilmore Girls, it only makes sense to start from the beginning, the first episode, and the episode that started it all - The Pilot. No season is complete without it’s foundation, and Gilmore Girls had a pretty solid foundation for the rest of the series. From when Gilmore Girls aired in October of 2000, to when it ended of May of 2007, the girls were closer than ever (with a few plot-line bumps in the road). The relationship with the Gilmore parents was always rocky. The town was filled with colorful characters. Coffee was a way of life. And the final bit of consistency was love. No matter where it was coming from, there always seemed to be love in the show.

Gilmore Girls
Summer Review Intro

Faye - TwoCents Reviewer
Faye@thetwocentscorp.com

This summer, I’m going to be writing on my favorite episodes of Gilmore Girls. I personally own all 7 seasons on DVD and have watched each episode numerous times. I actually think I watch it too much because there will be times where I will fall asleep during an episode, wake up a few minutes later, and know exactly what went on, who said what, and who was wearing what. I guess that makes me the perfect person to write about the show.

The first episode we'll watch for next week is the Pilot episode!

For those of you who have never seen the show before, or those of you who have and just want a slight refresher, these are the main characters that the show focuses on:
