"The funniest word in the entire world is, "oy." Another funny word is, "poodles." In fact, if you put oy and poodle together in the same sentence, you'd have a great new catch phrase, you know? Like, oy with the poodles already. So from now on, when the perfect circumstances arise, we will use our favorite new catch phrase." ---Lorelai
Who wouldn't love a show that starts off like this? This is the usual, witty, comebacks known as the Gilmore Girls. I'm sure most of you have heard or seen commercials for the show, but for this blog entry I'll be writing about the episode in which Sookie gets married (that's the only one that was on last night on ABCFamily).
Anyways, Sookie is having a particular nervous breakdown because it's the night of her wedding. She starts freaking because there are pink flowers on her wedding cake and worries that Jackson will hate the pink. So she says, "Pink is for girls. Jackson's not a girl. Jackson doesn't like pink. I have all this pink, it's like saying, 'Hey, screw you. You want a say in this? Well, grow some ovaries.'
Ha, that's classic. Next time your boyfriend is bothering you about something just say, "Screw you, grow some ovaries."
I liked this episode because both Rory and Lorelai sort of go through the same issues dealing with the men in their life. Funny, that always seems to be their problem. Anyways, in the classic shocker moment, Jess comes back out of nowhere to Rory. She is so stunned that her reaction is to kiss him. And for all the Jess and Rory fans out there is that was one of the most statisfying moments ever to finally see them together again. I tell you, this Gilmore Girl show is worse than a soap opera.
Now for Rory's mom, Lorelai, she has to deal with her first love, Chris, which is Rory's biological father as well (told you soap opera). Chris tells Lorelai, that his girlfriend is pregnant and that he can't see Lorelai anymore. Heartbroken, Lorelai does the "right" thing and lets Chris go. For all the Lorelai and Luke fans, though, this was perfect because everyone knows that Lorelai belongs with Luke.
Overall, the show was did it's typical witty charm thing, but it played on your human emotion of true love with Sookie and Jackson, broken love with Chris and Lorelai, and rekindled love between Rory and Jess.

I like that you point out how absurd it is that Rory and Lorelai are always going through the same problems at the same time, and how you draw out the the gender issues present in the show. More of this! More!
Good post this week!
