TV Review: Gilmore Girls

Part of: Gilmore Girls

Tonight’s Gilmore Girls has Rory filling in for her grandmother during a luncheon. She does a great job as a hostess, but Logan is less than thrilled at being there. He invites some of his friends and parties in the pool house waiting for Rory to finish.

Sookie and Jackson have a tiff over baptizing their children, but Lorelai saves the day by offering the Dragonfly Inn as a place for family members to stay. Judging by their entrance at the Inn, both have families I wouldn’t want staying with me either. With that settled, Sookie rushes to prepare everything for the baptism.

Lane is working at Luke’s again. Her roommates bought a new G5 and Pro Tools to edit their own music. Problem is, they took the tour money out of Lane’s underwear drawer to afford the computer and software. I think she should find a better hiding spot.

Sookie is still pressuring Luke and Lorelai to set a date for the wedding. But Luke is respecting Lorelai’s desire to wait until things are alright with Rory. Being the sneaky person she is, Sookie asks Lorelai and Rory to be the godmothers of her kids in an attempt to bring the mother-daughter team back together.

Before the baptism, Rory goes to Lane’s to catch up. Both share news of their relationships. Then they chat about the situation between Rory and her mother. I’m glad they had their talk, I always enjoyed Lane and her quirkiness. I hope she’s in the show more this season. She was always the best friend to keep up with the quick witted dialogue at an impossible pace.

The religious affiliation (or non-affiliation) of Rory and Lorelai is finally stated. They believe in the power of good and buy lots of Girl Scout cookies. But during the service it dawns on Lorelai that Sookie must have a working number for Rory, one that Lorelai doesn’t have herself. Seems Sookie’s plan to reunite Rory and Lorelai backfired.

Logan tells Rory how he has to start working on his “preordained” life and wants to escape to New York for the weekend. Rory agrees to meet him at the airport.

Tonight’s Gilmore Girls ends with Lorelai watching a movie and pigging out. She declares to no one in particular, perhaps just herself, “It’s not the same.”
