Gilmore Girls: Bridesmaid Revisited

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE
Gilmore Girls generic pictureI started noticing not too long ago that my hands would cramp up while I was typing my Gilmore Girls reviews. There's so much happening in each episode, that the recaps were starting to get very, very long. So, let's see what happens if I just review an episode for once; I mean, most of the people who're reading this have already seen the episode, right? Why recap it? Anyway, I'm going to give this shorter format a whirl; let me know if you want the recaps back. If you do, I'll just have to make an appointment at my local hand rehab clinic first.

OK, not much happened in this episode: Rory finds out that Logan slept with his sister's entire wedding party while they were "on a break" (never thought I'd quote Ross Gellar in a GG review), Lorelai has daughter issues, namely wanting to know Luke's and wanting Christopher to discipline his, Paris hits bottom and comes back out, Lane and Zach get engaged, and Kirk is on a juice diet.

What's that you say? I totally glossed over the Zach and Lane thing? Well, that's because it seemed like Zach, Lane, and the band were going to inevitably get back together. Yes, the proposal was a bit of a surprise, but not much of one. It was nice, though, to hear Sebastian Bach utter the word meshpuchah, even if he did mispronounce it (it has something to do with a bat mitzvah and maraschino cherries... oh, never mind).

An episode of parallels: Christopher now knows how Lorelai felt when he left her with a baby twenty-one years ago... Lorelai wants to mom someone again, be it April, G.G., or someone of her own... Doyle, who the despondent Paris booted out, drunkenly nuzzles a drunken Rory out of loneliness but she doesn't realize that Logan's booty calls were virtually the same thing... Lane gets engaged while everyone else's love lives fly apart. Oh, and Kirk's strange. But you knew that already.

Oh, one more thing: society girls can really be a bunch of cocktail waitresses.

Really, this episode was just another day in the world of Gilmore. No big surprises. Some funny lines and interesting scenes, though:
  • Rory getting ready for her journalism panel by bopping to Sonic Youth's "Kool Thing". Most people Rory's age have no idea who Sonic Youth is, much less have Goo in their CD collections...
  • Lane telling Lorelai that she photographs as "so Asian", and Lorelai telling her "Well, I think Ming-Na has that same problem." Ah, nothing like references to former ER cast members.
  • Lorelai: "Dud?" Christopher: "Sure". Then as Pompous Princeton Guy speaks, Lorelai asks, "Should I Dud him?"
  • Lorelai to G.G. as they watch Full House: "I think the Olsen twins weigh less now than they did on that show."
