I have mixed feelings about Rory's review of the ballet. Part of me says "Man, that's awesome! The world could use a few more honest people, that way untalented people don't walk around thinking they're legit." But the other part of me says "That ballerina spent her whole life dancing and rehearsing and learning, and in one review Rory not only criticized her ballet skills (or lake thereof) but also insulted her personally by comparing her to a hippo. Who deserves that?" So in a way I liked the review because we're all entitled to an opinion, but in another way I do think it was a bit harsh. Either way, Doyle liked it and Rory's article finally made it into the paper, so I guess it doesn't matter what I think then, does it?

Lorelai is definitely acting like a teenager in this episode, much like Rory acted while she was still with Dean over Jess and Shane. She wanted to know what was going on and it annoyed her when Shane was around, but she was also involved in a relationship and technically had no right to be so jealous of Jess and Shane's fling. Similarly, Lorelai has no business snooping into Luke's personal life because she didn't want Nicole around, even though she herself had a male companion to speak of. A little hypocritical, if you ask me. Oh well, like mother, like daughter.
Richard experimenting with the clarity and range of his WiFi signal is priceless, especially when he's in the corner by the staircase in the plant going "No signal over here." Jason did a great job getting Richard to invited him to join the party for dinner, but how completely RUDE was Emily in her efforts to stop Jason from staying? Emily is notorious for treating Lorelai that way, but her treating her husband's business partner in such a manner is unheard of...I was a little surprised by it. The way she treated Jason was more like how she'd treat him if she knew him as nothing other than Lorelai's boyfriend, but at this point the only judgement she really has to go on is the whole Atlantic City incident in which she got her feelings hurt when her dinner party idea was thrown out the window. Poor Emily...it's a hard knock life.
