The biggest problem with Season 6 is how Rory and Lorelai are often reduced  to bit ensemble players on their own show.  This is the Gilmore Girls people, not the Lane's Band Power Hour, or the Dane Family Quibble Show, or the Sookie and Jackson Chronicles.

Season 4 is a mixed bag that often gets overlooked.  It marks the point where the series starts to wobble a bit.  So much changes so quickly - Dean and Jess are gone, Rory is off to Yale, Digger enters the picture, and the Independence Inn is gone.  You can tell ASP had trouble figuring out what to do with season 4 of…

You've made it this far, go ahead and watch it.  Season 7 isn't nearly as bad as its reputation suggests.  While it does lose a bit of its charm without ASP  being at the helm, it also does a workman-like job of systematically wrapping up most of the out of control plot lines from the previous seasons.  By the last…

Yes, Gilmore Girls never got better than this episode and season 3 in general.  Sadly, it was all downhill from season 4 on.

I've always been partial to the Founder's Firelight Festival in season 1.  i.e. the festival that was going on when Dean and Rory broke up the first time.  It seemed so romantic and low key, with the bonfire and all those twinkling lights and the town troubadour softly singing some song about Mona Lisa.

Bringing back Jess in Season 6 to knock a little sense into a wayward Rory was a stroke of brilliance!  Who else would she have listened to at that point?

Rory wasn't exactly innocent there.  Remember, she invited Marty over to her dorm room that night, and was draped all over him on the sofa while they watched movies.  Then the instant Logan showed up at her door Rory changed her tune and Marty became an afterthought.  Rory didn't like Marty that way, but she was happy…
