E 121, The Finals, Chili Cheese Fries, and more episodes.

from Dating with the Gilmore Girls · host simondiltshawthorne

This is the finale of the first season, yes we cannot find episode 20 where we screwed up strodle, its a long episode. We start asking if Lorelai is dreaming Luke at the start of the episode, or if he is there. We discuss how we begin Lane as the show going "what do we do with Lane?". We have a discussion  if Taylor was yet meant to be a character with lore or merely a comedic element for him not trust Rory in the store and not remembering Rory's relationship with Dean. We talk about the commonality of episodes having stories for both Lorelai and Rory that are largely the exact same storyline in their own way.  We talk about what would the proper type of umbrella to defend oneself if someone breaks into your house. We cover the introduction of Dean Forester's younger sister, Clara and her actress's later accomplishment, and discuss why would Clara be at a town meeting with Dean if she is like 8 or 9 years old. We talk about the good flavors of a ring pop. Why Lorelai is "again it" . We are surprised how Taylor and Luke don't like the Troubador and the origin of Long Haired Freak. We cover the end of the Rachel relationship,  why Max is not the best for Lorelai and how is it he never met Luke before this episode. We are amazed that Chilton actually has kids capable of playing hackeysack and reveal why in our eyes its not unreal at all that a Junior runs her private school's newspaper. Rory and Dean getting back together. We discuss a totally not inappropriate reference to Kirk by Michel and then Lorelai and Max proposal. And finally was this meant to be a final episode?
