Favorite Gilmore Girls Episode/Moment?

I can't begin to pick one! I love them all. You don't ask a mom to pick between her children!

"This is not May-December. This is May-Ming Dynasty."

That is probably my favorite line. Favorite moment is actually in the revival when Lorelei tells her mother about her favorite memory of her father. *sniff*

When Rory gets her grandfather to scare Logan and make him think he's excited for them to get married. It was right after they met and Logan had done something stupid. There are too many moments in the show and they talk so fast!

And, of course, Rory snuggling in bed with the REAL Madeleine Albright gets an honorable mention just for being so impossibly bizarre.

I couldn't pick a favorite GG moment or scene, but I HATED how the revival ended. DD15 Just started re watching it for the second time, and mentioned how hard it is to get used to them talking so fast. As a side note, I have to say I was so excited to see Kirk (Sean Gunn) have a real part in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I loved Kirk and I love Kraglin, and hope he becomes a GOTG in the 3rd installment.

There was even a reference to Trump, I noticed it when my DD was watching the series recently.

All of the Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton References in Gilmore Girls

(Text from article below; link has text and film clips)




*Lorelai and Sookie discuss plans to buy a new inn:

Lorelai: “It’s the title search for the Rachel property. And guess who owns it.”

Sookie: “Tell me it’s not that bastard Donald Trump.”


*After a neighbor calls Lorelai a “spunky entrepreneur”:

Lorelai: “I am the uber Trump-Murdoch-Maximus!”


*Lorelai and Rory go to Atlantic City for Rory’s birthday:

Lorelai: “Video poker is my calling … especially the third machine in the second row of machines as you hit the entrance of Trump Taj Mahal.”


*Rory talks about her economics class (her grandfather is the professor):

Rory: “Next week, we’re going to split up into 10 groups and each of us have to create a business plan.”

Logan: “Like ‘The Apprentice.’”

Rory: “Yeah and he’s going to be like Donald Trump, which is ridiculous.”


*Rory and her roommate, Paris, are frustrated by the men in their lives.

Paris: “We’re better than this, you and me. We’re the children of Emma Goldman and Hillary Clinton. Strong, independent — we’re better than this.”


*Paris gets angry at the hospital when the professor she’s dating gets sick and the doctors won’t give her any information:

Doctor: “Now, calm down, take a seat and let us continue our work.”

Paris: “Oh you men, always telling us to calm down. Me, Hillary, Martha … The second we make a squeak, you’re pushing us onto the fainting couch.”


*Paris fights with her boyfriend:

Paris: “He won’t listen to me! He’s in love with the sound of his own voice. You would think he was already president. And I don’t want to be Hillary. I don’t want to wait for a hundred years while he does his thing, so by the time I get my chance, I’m too old to enjoy it.”

Rory: “Well, I don’t think Hillary’s too old to enjoy it.”

Paris: “Fine, be on his side.”

Rory: “I’m not on his side. I’m on her side.”


*Luke promised Lorelai he would be home from a trip weeks ago:

Lorelai: “So what lie are you going to tell me about coming home now?”

Luke: “I’m coming home today.”

Lorelai: “So next week?”

Luke: “Today.”

Lorelai: “This month at least?”

Luke: “Today.”

Lorelai: “See you when Hillary’s president.”


*Rory chooses her college application essay topic:

Rory: “I already have my essay topic picked out … Hillary Clinton.”

Dean: “Sounds perfect.”

Rory: “I know. She’s so smart and tough and nobody thought she could win New York but she did, and she’s doing amazing. Have you heard her speak?”

Dean: “Only when you’ve played me the thousands of hours of C-SPAN footage you taped.”

Later, during a college admissions panel:

College admissions officer: “If I read one more over-adulating piece of prose about Hillary Clinton and her profound influence, my head will explode.”

Paris: “Personal anecdote: When I was 12 and I was writing the first of my trial essays in practice for the day I would write my real essay, I chose Hillary Clinton. Then I realized every braindead bint in a skirt would be writing about Hillary. But it was good to clear the pipes.”

I wonder how many takes this scene took...

I wish we could see bloopers from the show, I have tried to find them on YouTube but never found much.

Michel has ennui. We still quote that in our house.

Kirk was one of my favorite people on that show and I loved how he had so many different jobs. My favorite Kirk moment was when he played the role of Tevya in the elementary school production of "Fiddler on the Roof." It cracked me up when he and and this amazing girl playing Golda were singing "Do You Love Me?" But then you had the cuts to Lorelei and Luke watching off stage and you are just dying for them to get back together.

Do You Love Me?

I also loved when Luke made Lorelei a skating rink.

I LOVED that the same song played for Liz and TJ's wedding, and Luke and Lorelei's wedding.

AmeliaBloomer loved the Friday night fight scene. Maybe they should have had more of them and cleared the air a bit more.

Loved when Emily put Shira in her place:link hats off to you for bagging him 

The one I rewound a bunch of times was during the Hay Bale Maze episode when Sookie and Michel were making baskets and arguing then in Michel's dry humor and funny accent says something about who would want to go bird watching?? Then he goes on the be disgusted about the hay. Who would want to walk around a bale of hay? Who are these people? Don't they have lives? Don't they have television? Don't you vote on these things in your town meetings? Just so funny. Of course there were tons of sweet moments between Lorelai and Luke or Rory but this one just had me cracking because of Michel's voice.

I liked when they brought Michel's dogs into the story. He tends to act bristly, like he could just about tolerate people, but he had no problem showing how much he loved those dogs.
