Movie Reviews of Gilmore Girls: The Complete First Season (Digipack)
Movie Review: One of the BEST t.v. shows ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing anyone can say or write could capture the wonder and perfection of Gilmore Girls on television. It's the smartest show I've ever seen with all kinds of funny references flying out of everyone's mouth every 10 seconds. The communication between characters is so amazing you'll be addicted to Gilmore Girls by the time in the first episode when you see Lorelai begging for a cup of coffee from Luke at his diner. The first thing we learn about the Gilmore Girls is that Lorelai can not function with out coffee. What show would take a risk to talk about coffee in the first few minutes? Gilmore Girls would. When you're watching the show one can only marvel at how fast they are talking. It must be really hard to talk that fast but, it is so amazing. It makes the show what it is. No one can imagine Gilmore Girls with out the fast paced talking in the dialoge.
So, the First Season of Gilmore Girls is where it all starts. Lorelai is running the Independance Inn with Head Chef Sookie by her side, and rude French Michel answering the phone (hopefully). But, Lorelai and Sookie's dream is to someday open a Inn of their own (Hence Season 4). Rory is very smart and has big plans for her future. She wants to go to Harvard and become a journalist. So, she and Lorelai who wants the same for her, are estatic when a letter of acceptance comes from Chilton for Rory. They see Chilton as one step closer for Rory to achieve her dream. The only problem standing in the way of achieving that dream is money. Something Lorelai doesn't have that much of to give to the school for Rory's tuition. So, she comes to the painful last resort of asking her parents who she doesn't have very much of a relationship with for money. They agree but, with the Gilmore's there are always strings attatched. The Gilmore Girls have to start coming over for Friday night dinners. Suddenly Rory's Grandparents are a part of their lives something that Lorelai is not very happy about. But, allows it anyway so they will pay for Rory's school. This season is also where Lorelai meets Max (One of Rory's Chilton teachers)! Also, Rory gets her first ever boyfriend, Dean in Season One. A boyfriend that Lorelai actually likes. As Lorelai puts it, "The best first boyfriend you could ever have." (Personally, although other people might have other opinions I don't like Dean that much mainly because of what he did in Season 4.) In this season we also, get introduced to Christopher, Rory's father. I think the writers tried to leave a feeling with Christopher that maybe someday he and Lorelai could have a future. But, anybody who is a true Gilmore fan knows that Luke and Lorelai are meant to be together. I will be so mad if in the end they are not together and instead it's Christopher!!
Pilot: Rory is accepted to the elite Chilton prep school. Bad news for Lorelai: she must make amends with her parents to borrow the money for Rory's tuition. The money is available - with strings attatched.
The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton: YOu get extra pints if you sing the school song - in Latin. Chilton isn't a place where cutoffs and cowboy boots are the fashion. But, that's what Lorelai hurriedly throws on to accompany Rory to the posh school.
Kill Me Now: Rory takes up golf to fulfill a school athletic requirement and, to Lorelai's dismay, grows fond of her Grandfather when he takes her to his country club for a day on the links. The Inn staff prepares for a double wedding involving identical sets of twins.
The Deer-Hunters: Not buying "the dog ate my homework?" Try "a deer struck my car." Rory's mishap en route to Chilton causes her to miss a Shakespeare exam, and the consequences could be disastrous for her GPA.
Cinnamon's Wake: Must be love. Or at least a very strong like. Rory acts awkwardly around Dean. ANd the death of Morey and Babette's beloved cat brings the whole Stars Hollow town together for a memorial. Just picture it. You're town going to a cat's funeral.
Rory's Birthday Parties: What a difference a day makes. The swanky birthday celebration Emily hosts is a freaky Friday for Rory. Emily invited all of Chilton without even asking Rory! But, Lorelai's Saturday party is way cool - not counting the big blowup between Lorelai and Emily. Emily finally realizes that she doesn't know anything about her daughter.
Kiss and Tell: Right there is Doose's Market: Dean and Rory kiss. Everyone in town seems to know about it. Everyone, that is, except Lorelai, and she's a little weirded out because Rory didn't tell her.
Love & War & Snow: Rory's out of town. The first snowfall of the year blankets Stars Hollow. We learn of Lorelai's love hate relationship with snow. Mostly it's love in this season. And Lorelai invites Max into her home after their spectacular first date. One problem: an unexpected gues is there....Lane.
Rory's Dance: Events at Chilton's formal dance convince Rory and Dean that they, as Rory might say, are very boyfriendy-girlfriendy. Dean stands up for Rory to Tristin. But, something unexpected happens that sets the town buzzing and puts Lorelai in a motherly frenzy of concern.
Forgiveness and Stuff: If the holidays can't patch up some of Emily and Lorelai's differences, perhaps a medical emergency can. While Lorelai is overcoming the overwhelming fact that her father is in the hospital Luke drives her over and gives Emily the wrong impression about them.
Paris is Burning: A very-Lorelai moment during the Chilton Parents Day crystallizes her misgivings about her relationship with Rory's teacher Max. Paris accepts Rory's offer of friendship...sort of...kindof...well, maybe.
Double Date: On the front lines of the dating wars! Lorelai ends up with a horribly rude blind date that thinks she's too tall for him. This happens when Lorelai agrees to go on a double date with Sookie and Jackson. And Lane has finally found her true love...not. He wants to major in gym when he grows up. Mrs. Kim is raging when she finds out about Lane's double date with Dean and Rory.
Concert Interruptus: Lorelai and Sookie take Rory, Paris, Louise, and Madeline to a Bangles concert. While there, Louise and Madeline get asked by college guys to a party so, Lorelai has to put up her mother radar and find them. Meanwhile, Lorelai and Rory's home is the drop-off point for town rummage sale donations.
That Damn Donna Reed: After Dean expresses approval of the meatlof-and-pearls domesticity protrayed in The Donna Reed Show. Rory surprises him with a 1950's styled Donna night. She cooks and dresses up and everything. Also, an unexpected visitor shakes up Lorelai's home.
Christopher Returns: Now that Christopher Haden, Lorelai's old flame and Rory's father, is a guest in the girls' house, enough time has passed for the Hadens and Gilmores to enjoy a reunion dinner at the Gilmore Mansion, right? Wrong. Way wrong.
Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers: The town's romance-themed Founders Firelight Festival is near, and it seems almost everyone is in love. But, Lorelai is faced with her mom's matchmaking. And Dean tells Rory that he loves her. But, when Rory doesn't say anything when he tells her Dean breaks up with her. Ain't love grand?
The Breakup, Part 2: Tales of two loves: Rory attempts to overcome her loss of Dean by creating and tackling a daunting list of things to do. But, in the end realizes she can't put hold her feelings by making a list. Lorelai has a one-night relapse of her feelings for Max.
The Third Lorelai: The original Lorelai, with attitude and checkbook in tow, visits from London and offers a trust fund to pay for great-granddaughter Rory's education-a turf grandmother Emily fiercely intends to keep for herself.
Emily in Wonderland: Rory and Emily's tour of Stars Hollow provides the older woman with new insights into Lorelai's first years as a single mom. Rootless Rachel wnts to put down her roots. Can Luke trust her? NO HE AND LORELAI ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER!
P.S. I Lo...: Love is hard. Arguing is easy. Partial truths and misunderstandings over each other's romantic life leads to a major Gilmore-girl blowup...and prompts Rory to seek an emotional safe haven at Grandma Emily's.
Love, Daisies & Troubadours: Love goes: Rachel suspects there's more to the Luke-Lorelai relationship than good coffee. Love returns: Rory finally says the words Dean needs to hear: "I love you you idiot!" Love must decide: Max has exactly what Lorelai wanted for her proposal not 999 not 1001 but, 1000 yellow daisies and one question for Lorelai. Will Lorelai say yes and mary him?
Overall a MUST HAVE for anybody! A Gilmore fan or someone who hasn't even heard of Gilmore Girls but, just stumbled randomly upon my review MUST get Gilmore Girls Season 1. Money well spent.
