Gilmore Dinner. Emily tells Rory that Richard is bringing her something super special from Prague. Rory is excited about this and talks about an ex-cell, now hostel she would like to stay at. Lorelai is paying half attention because she's picking out avocados from her dish. This gets Lorelai and Emily snipping at each other, and it doesn't end when Emily asks Rory about the upcoming formal. Rory didn't mention it to either of them, but Emily read it in the Chilton Newsletter, which she thought it was only right to receive a copy of, being a major contributor of Rory's education. This only earns a mild eyeroll from Lorelai, though I feel like in the past (all 8 episodes lol) that may have earned a full on meltdown.
Oh hey, it's great to be back in Snark Squad HQ and it's even better that Mari let's me ramble about one of my favourite Gilmore Girls episodes.
Sweeney: Mari's out with a case of having the world's most inhumanly absurd schedule, but I agree that she is very great. (K: I have been wondering if she has a time turner somewhere.) Gif dance party for Mari in the comments. I'll start:

We open in the town square, prepping for one of their adorably ridiculous town festivals (get used to these - there are a lot of them!), with Lorelai bemoaning the fact that she hasn't had clean underwear in three days. When Rory asks what she's wearing under her skirt, she replies with, "Not underwear."(#RoleModelMom) In Connecticut. In October. Without stockings or anything. It could not be more clear that the show was produced in California.
This episode opens with a Friday Night Dinner where only Emily, Lorelei and Rory are in attendance. See how I used the term 'in attendance' because this is fancy? That's the kind of fanciness you can expect in my recap. If you're not already wearing your cravat, you should be.
Marines: RSVP: YES.

Straight talk: I have a loooong history with Gilmore Girls. I watched the show when it first aired with my mum. It started out just the two of us watching, but eventually my brothers and even my dad would watch it with us. I have the complete series on DVD, I have watched the series all the way through so many times that I've lost count. Gilmore Girls coming to Netflix has only made it worse, because it's much easier to rewatch it when I don't have to change DVD discs every 3 episodes like a sucker. So now that I've exposed my probably unhealthy obsession with GG, let's get to the recap!
The episode's adorable expository banter leads us into school supply shopping which is a thing I miss. I wrote out a whole very long paragraph about the glorious nostalgia this scene gave me, but I deleted it because I don't want to blow my nostalgia quota before we even hit the intro. Moving on. There is adorable banter about how Rory needs serious school supplies for her serious school.
Where you lead, I will follow!

Okay, so lets get this third episode party started! I'm your host, Samantha "Bubbles" Spice, and am an already avid GG junkie. Let's have some fun!
We kick things off at a Friday Night Dinner. Emily and Richard are listing off the various cooks they've had since Heidi, the last one that Lorelai remembers hearing about. Richard mixes up a cook named Anton and one named Sophia, which Lorelai can't let go because "one is a man and one is a woman." Maybe they don't identify that way Lorelai, you don't know.

Lorelai and Rory are sitting on the porch. Lorelai is painting Rory's toenails red while she squirts whipped cream into her mouth. Lorelai tells Rory that she's starting private school the next day and private school girls are bad girls and bad girls wear red polish. She clearly subscribes to Bad Girl Styling school of thought. Lorelai asks if Rory is nervous about starting Chilton. Rory jokes that she wasn't until she heard all about these bad girls.
This past weekend the Gilmore Girls revival premiered on Netflix. Why not choose this moment to start our journey from the very beginning?
A title card and jaunty yet dated music bring us to a street in the quaint town of Stars Hollow.
Annie: I know it's early for me to be already interrupting, but Pilot!Stars Hollow was filmed in a small town near Toronto. I visited it last year and all these years later, it really, really looks like Stars Hollow to me. (Sorry, sorry, sorry).
