Gilmore Girls 7.05 "The Great Stink"
Original Air Date: October 24, 2006
Discussion Date: June 17, 2008
Read "The Great Stink" Recap
Discussion Questions:
- Do you think they made Paul Anka too eccentric? Why?
- Is Logan’s surprise return a good indication of how serious he is about Rory?
- Did you feel like Rory was more mature in her love for Logan in this episode?
- What do you think about Sherry’s letter? Is she sincere? If so, why never call?
- Bringing Sherry back into the picture as a better mom – was that a writing tool to contrast Christopher to Luke in similar situations?
- Do you think Christopher brought Lorelai the letter knowing how badly Luke had hurt her after hiding April?
- Do you think letting Logan work in new media, versus newspapers, made him more happy with his career? Why do you think his dad let him do this?
- Is Rory taking Richard’s class just because he’s teaching it?
- Why is Lorelai still avoiding Luke if she’s moved on?
- Are you surprised Taylor didn’t want to pay for the pickle cleanup? Wouldn’t he be worried about town image?
- Should Chris send Gigi to Paris? Or, is Lorelai right, is it better if Chris goes too?
- Why didn’t Lorelai share her concerns about Gigi going to Paris with the nanny?
- Is Rory giving Paris preferential treatment by handing her the paper for the night?
- Is Lorelai bringing Christopher back to the Gilmore house too soon. Does that signal something too serious?
- Should Logan have told Rory that Bobby was a girl?
- When Lorelai shares her concerns, she doesn’t get far into explaining them before she gives up. Did she feel stonewalled from giving her explanation?
- Was Bobby being patronizing to Rory?
- Did Lorelai misread Chris’ reaction when she told him she understood was not Sherry?
- Was Rory’s fit of jealousy good for their relationship? More solidifying, in a way?
- Why does Chris ask Lorelai to Paris? How did their fight end so easily, if it was a fight?
- What do you think about the "family" moment that Lorelai, Chris and Rory have in the car with the music choices?

did you guys know there’s a deleted scene from this episode?!? check it out here! http://youtube.com/watch?v=2hj6fxZkOrQ
(well if you have the dvd you probably know about it.. but i don’t! so i was surprised about it!) gilmore girls 4ever!!!
Lorelai is still avoiding luke because it is still weird in a sense their relationship
i like the song moment at the end of the episode. I think it shows them as a family together sharing a nice moment
Season 7 was the worst season of them all
I hate Chris this season.Cuz Lorelai dont want see Luke,cuz they get werid each other for their relationship this episode.
I love Richard when he runs over to the couch as Lorelai is about to show him photos from the jail.
blah… i hate chris.
on the deleted scene my heart broke more seeing Lukes face…. poor guy!
Still The worst Season ever It’s right up their with Charmed the last season.American Idol the 3 seasons
I know this isn’t for this episode, but I always hated how they changed how Mia’s character looked from her appearance in the beginning seasons to her wedding in the seventh season. She looks a lot younger in the 7th season, and her personalty has changed. I know it is probaly a different actor, but they could have made her look more similiar to the original Mia character
I agree that the 7th season was the worst one. I actually want to see the 7th season of Amy Sherman – Palladino. It went all down. I want the real Gilmore Girls back and at least a few more seasons. But I understand Amy that she wants to be there 100% or not at all. I love GG and it’s never out off style. It should come back oneday with a few more seasons. Amy’s new show got cancelled so why she should do only a movie. She has time now, so she has time to do a few more seasons. It’s really not possible to put all what could happen in a movie. We need at least 4 more seasons to see that. It’s true… the show got cancelled too many seasons too soon.
loved that episode. i thought it was uber cute.
i also thought the “song family moment” at the end was cute. but i HATE HATE HATE chris.
i LOVEEEE luke!
i disagree that the 7th season was the worst. none of the gilmore girls seasons were bad.
Do anyone know who plays Bobby??
