The fall out between Rory and Loralie was great (except when they ruined Sookie's kid's baptism by being self-involved assholes). Love the Godfather-reminiscent scene where we see Rory assume her place in the DAR instead of… doing something cutesy with Loralie that they had planned forever, i forget what.

Alison Pill is cute as a button. Literally, her face looks like a button.

Jim seems pretty much like the perfect male specimen, whereas Maggie is a fumbling child (and why is she dressed like Chloe Sevigny's character on Big Love?). I find it kind of hard to believe that he would be pining after her, and her relationship with Don is equally unrealistic.

Oh April, the root of all evil - starting with the incredibly Sunset Beach-esqe trope of:
"Lorelai, I have to tell you something"
