I just started rewatching GG again (yes, AGAIN---don't judge me!) and am always eager to torture you with questions: 1. Three ways in which Lorelai and Rory are similar and three ways in which they're very different? 2. Same question, but substitute Luke and Jess for Lorelai and Rory. 3. Your 3-5 favorite, most rewatchable episodes from each of the first four seasons? 4. Your 1-2 least favorite episodes from each of the first four seasons?!

It’s always lovely to revisit Gilmore Girls, no matter how many times we do it! 😁

Lorelai and Rory Similarities:

They both can be rather self-absorbed, entitled, without realizing it. They don’t always take the time to consider how their decisions/actions will affect other people.

They appreciate/depend on the trust and constancy they have between them as well as the sense of community they’ve found among those of Stars Hollow.

They’re hardworking. Ambitious. They push themselves, strive for success.

Lorelai and Rory Differences:

Lorelai is an extrovert whereas Rory is an introvert. They both talk a lot, but the latter’s a lot more reserved in crowded settings. She’s apt to observe surroundings rather than command attention from those around her. Lorelai does far more commanding than perceiving.

While Rory can and does make impulsive decisions throughout the course of the series, she’s much more level-headed and detail oriented compared to her mother. Hence her notorious to-lists. She has a methodological mindset that’s similar to Luke’s, actually.

Lorelai is far more emotionally immature than her daughter. She has a tendency to use humor as well as sarcasm as a defense mechanism to keep people at bay, preventing them from getting too close.

Luke and Jess Similarities:

They’re both emotionally repressed. Neither one of them are particularly expressive about their thoughts, about their feelings, meaning they tend to keep them pressed close to their chest. Their affection and care is demonstrated in quieter, less bombastic ways. (Which is why it’s perfect they read the same self-help book about how to convey their love!)

They both harbor a lot of cynicism. They’re seemingly moody or grumpy in temperament on the surface, but underneath, they’re big ‘ol softies.

Neither one of them is what you’d call a “people person” in that they’re never enthusiastic about crowds or town events or the like. Their circles of trust, their comfort zones and/or people with whom they genuinely want to be around, are small. They keep to themselves more often that not.

Luke and Jess Differences:

Luke has a rigidity about him that I don’t think Jess possesses. He’s systematic in a lot of ways--in thought, in action, in values. He always struck me as a more stringent type of person, you know? Someone who tends to see in black and white, right or wrong, yes or no. Luke likes order. Certainty. Steadiness. More often than not, he operates from a place of practicality, of traditionalism. Jess, on the other hand, who is intellectually introspective in nature, isn’t afraid to cross let alone to push boundaries. There’s an unconventional pulse in him that allows him to think outside the box or pursue career/life paths that aren’t straightforward. That aren’t always “by the book,” so to speak.

I think Luke is largely set, comfortable, in who he is at his core whereas Jess has a lot of personal skeletons to combat before he’s able to get there. Sometimes I see them as Secure vs. Insecure archetypes. That makes sense to me when I consider how Luke is far more likely to stand still, to stay in the same place (Stars Hollow), but Jess is more likely to drift, amble, seek. I believe a lot can be said for the latter’s waywardness/running throughout the series in that regard.

They’re both meditative, only in different ways. I see Luke thinking through things with an elaborate, laborious, dig-into-all-the-details, point-by-point methodology that keeps him from making any kind of rushed or rash decisions. That can inhibit him at times. Keep him rooted inside his own head. Jess, though he thinks hard and long and quiet himself, has a more extrapolated tangential manner of contemplation that allows him to lean into risk instead of away from it. He’s not afraid to think or act impulsively if/when the occasion calls for it.

**It’s so hard to pick least favorite episodes when the first 4 seasons are my favorite! But I tried to choose the ones I rewatch/have rewatched the least.

Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

Date Watched: 10th November 2017

Referenced in: 2x16, 6x21 and 7x04

Rating: ★★★★★★

I adore this film. I’ve seen it many times and it makes me laugh and cry just as much each time! Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy are just a formidable pair and LuPone put in there being Lupone. This is joining the realms of the few films I’ve given 6/5 stars on because they are just that good. Everybody watch this film.

(Other GG Movies I’ve watched so far)

(Full references under the cut)

2x16, There's the Rub (2002) Lorelai says "Miss Daisy" to her mother when she picks her up with the Stretch Limousine. EMILY: I just thought since this weekend is all about relaxing, we should start with the ride. RORY: This is cool, Grandma. EMILY: Thank you, Rory. So, are we all ready to go? LORELAI: I guess so, Miss Daisy. Bye sweets.

6x21, Driving Miss Gilmore (2006) [title reference]

7x04, 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous (2006) Lorelai says that a film should be more than its title when talking about Snakes on a Plane and references this film. CHRISTOPHER: Okay Lor I respect your very valid feelings about snakes. LORELAI: Thank you. CHRISTOPHER: But I have to say we were fairly warned. LORELAI: No! No! A movie should not just be its title. "Driving Miss Daisy" didn't all take place in the car, "Dances With Wolves" wasn't one long wolf dance. But this was nothing but snakes, snakes, relentless snakes, snakes on a plane. Snakes, snakes, snakes on a plane!

i know a lot of people think jess just likes to antagonize dean for the sake of antagonizing him but in a scene like there's the rub where he just keeps talking it's so clear he's trying to divert dean's anger towards himself to protect rory (which makes you wonder if that's something he's done in the past) and like obviously it didn't work bc he did in fact start screaming at rory the second jess was gone but it's just like the way he's talking in that scene it's very much what he does when he's trying to distract someone even if it's not from their anger, maybe for a conversation he's trying to avoid, whatever it may be, like it just isn't so simple as trying to piss people off (though that may be an effect anyway) but to defuse a tense situation and i just think it's a v interesting aspect of his character

#like more than anything i think you see him do it with luke like i'm just gonna keep saying things bc i don't wanna deal with this #but yeah like i hate that people think jess is just a dick through that whole situation for funsies #like yeah he wants rory but also he clocked what a piece of shit dean is and he's just like hey focus on me not her #gilmore girls #gg 2x16 #anti dean forester
