Okay, I’m going to post this again, and usually I’m not huge on telling people what to do but this is a big one and affects a lot of ORG members coming to this thread.  This is the episode thread only for discussing the current episode, anything regarding future episodes, even previews shown on the CW, are considered spoilers and there are some people that don’t like to be spoiled.  Please keep them to the spoiler (http://www.gilmoregirls.org/forum/index.php?board=3.0) or preview (http://www.gilmoregirls.org/forum/index.php?topic=4356.0) threads, that's what they are there for.  Thanks!

This episode was was full on mixed emotions for me. I was really sad with Paris and Doyle broke up, they are perfect for each other. It was quite funny to see Lorelai ride her bike to work. It is so colourful. The way Lorelai and Luke where fighting made things seems that they were back to normal. Cause when she first went back into the diner, things were kinda weird, but they seem to be fighting as if nothing ever happened to there relationship. I can't believe that Rory was not accepted for the Fellowship, she was relying on it so much. She turned down the other job in Providence to do the Fellowship.  Paris is so lucky, she got into every school that she applied for.

I really enjoyed this episode.. knowing that they are going to get back together.. well we all knew that since the beginning of the seasong.. der!

I loved how they kept fighting when they were car shopping, we all know how Lorelai loves it when Luke rants... lol!!

I loved how Paris spazzed when she I mean Rory opened those letter.. and then she got all mad!!  It was kind of obvious though.. because when Rory got accepted to Harvard and Paris did not, it was showing that Rory wouldn't make it to her newpaper, and Paris would make it to her law/medical schools..

Where was Gypsy.. huh.. HuH.. HUH!  That really bugged me, along how they keep showing them driving along that road.. why not the fake car shots they used to do!!

Where was Richard and Emily.. they are always supposed to add them for fun effects.. wasn't the last time we seen them when they went to Mia's wedding...

I was so happy to see Luke/ Lorelai fighting!! It was maybe a bit awkward but it was so good, so good! Just like Lorelai said when talking to Sookie when she returned from car shopping with Luke...it was nice to see them fighting because it was more...'normal'. It was nice to see Lorelai call Luke for help again, because that is a good sign!

Sookie/ Jackson It was great to see Sookie and Jackson in this episode a lot more! When they were sitting in Lorelai's house next to each other, it was nice!

Rory/ Paris GREAT interaction - just like old times! I liked the Harvard thing - how she got in and then was all about turning them down because of what happened 4 years ago! haha It was just like Paris to get into all those schools and then be upset about it. What was up with Paris breaking up with Doyle for such a silly reason?! That's our Paris I guess. She should really just deal with the fact that Doyle is 'the guy'. The letter opening process was hilarious!

Lorelai on the bike was great!!! I need to get on a bike like that! She's just the most awesome!! I love her!

Luke/ Lorelai The end where Luke comes over to tell Lorelai about all the work he did finding her a Jeep so she can use the old engine...and the bike thing, a bell...fine I'll get you a horn, are you happy? The smile that Lorelai gave, just made me smile! It was a great moment...GREAT moment!!! They're back!

And finally, way to go Doyle!!!

Oh, and I'm so sorry for Rory that she didn't get the NewYork one...she'll have something wonderful come up next, I just know it!! It was sad that no one was around to support and comfort her though...too busy with their decision. She'll be alright!

That's my thoughts for now...overall, a really fine episode in my opinion!

I read this on TV Guide today about the meaning of the destruction of the dollhouse.....

"But if you think about it, that’s the last thing Lorelai was holding onto from her past. No more Christopher. No more Friday night dinners. No more debt or servitude to Em and Dick. And the replication of her old life: the tiny Victorian furniture, the mini Oriental carpets, the itty-bitty crystal chandeliers, the petite porcelain dinnerware and silver place settings? A pile of shards in her living room. Yeah, I’m going with the dollhouse. Sometimes it takes total destruction, not rebuilding, to really move forward. I can only hope they'll figure that out in time. "

It makes sense that it represents breaking apart from Lorelai's past, and starting fresh.  Part of her childhood included Christopher, so now that she knows it doesn't work with Christopher, she can move on....with Luke!!  Maybe it will also mean, letting go of old wounds having to do with Lorelai's relationship with Emily.  I am hoping by the end of the series there will be some coming together between the two of them, some special moment or bond between them would be nice.

Ggirlfan the quote you found and your comments are right on point.  I hope too that Emily and Lorelai can be content with each other.  They are actually so much alike.  Opinionated, smart, witty, strong-willed.  No doubt the reason they knock heads.

Wait a second.  Have they said definitively on the show that they've cut out Friday night dinners?  I know they haven't shown them recently, but that's not the same as seeing an actual scene where they decided to end the practice.

I'm not sure if they said they were cutting out Friday night dinners altogether, but maybe they meant the "obligation" of the Friday night dinners because Richard and Emily are no longer paying for Rory's schooling?  Also, depending on what Rory does after Yale, she may not be local to be available for Friday night dinners.  I don't know what that would mean for Lorelai attending Friday night dinners though?
