Gilmore Girls in Parisian Adventures List

Buddy TV just put together a list of the The French Connection: 10 Great TV Parisian Adventures listing a series of 10 shows that have visited France.

In that list, as you’d expect, is the time when Lorelai & Christopher took that trip to Paris… and got married!

Good quip in the post:

“Of course, the marriage was ill-fated, but hey, they’ll always have Paris … Geller.”

Gilmore Girls’ Memorable Love Triangles

Beliefnet recently put together a list of the “Top 10 Movie/TV Love Triangles” in honor of the Eclipse release. The list includes, however, an homage to Gilmore Girls… to the TWO major love triangles of the series.

Rory, Dean, and Jess from ‘Gilmore Girls.’

Watching Rory fall for beautiful boy Dean, her first love, was so sweet, but when the brilliant, bad-boy Jess came to Stars Hollow, he took romance to a whole other level, and turned out to be a better, if not more tumultuous match for Rory.

Lorelai, Max, and Luke from ‘Gilmore Girls.

Luke might be perpetually rough around the edges, but his gruff yet utterly vulnerable charm was leagues above clean cut, English teacher Max. It just took Lorelai forever to realize it.

I’m surprised the latter was Max and not Christopher!!

Lorelai & Cucumber Water

In ‘A Vineyard Valentine‘, Lorelai quite enjoys her cucumber water during her “workout”, saying “What is it about cucumber water that makes it so much more refreshing than non-cucumber water?” However, if you hark back to ‘There’s the Rub’, Lorelai, perhaps more in character with her anti-vegetable policy, had a contrary reaction to cucumber water: “cucumber water. Yuck.”

Which do you think more likely to be Lorelai’s true reaction? Was this a writing mistake, or did Lorelai only dislike cucumber water at first because Emily was forcing it on her at the spa?

Lorelai & Lauren Graham Love George Clooney

In ‘You’ve Been Gilmored‘, Rory complains about Lorelai’s love for George Clooney:

“Yeah, the story is you calling yourself Mrs. Clooney for two and a half hours.”

This is a fun piece of trivia because, in 2001, Lauren Graham appeared on Letterman and told a story about how she once had a fleeting thought that “George Clooney wants me.” Check out the story just under 6 minutes into the below interview:

Rory & Lorelai as a Perfect Pop-Culture Pair

EW put together a list of 15 Perfect Pop-Culture Pairs – with Rory & Lorelai included, of course!

“This super-drive teen and her scattered high-school dropout mom turned typical TV parenthood on its head. Maybe you don’t want your mom to be your best friend, but who wouldn’t want that level of clever discourse?”

Lorelai & Rory were the only mother-daughter duo on the list!

Thanks Sylvia!

Lorelai’s Odd Counting

In ‘Just Like Gwen and Gavin‘, Lorelai and Logan are talking about how long Lorelai and Rory weren’t talking for. She has it down to the day… sort of. She says:

“She didn’t speak to me for 5 months, 3 weeks, 16 days.”

Why would she say the numbers this way? 16 days is more than 2 weeks, so she should have rolled those days into the weeks, and therefore into the months… Just Lorelai being eccentric?

Rory & Lorelai Named as Greatest Characters

In celebration of Entertainment Weekly’s 20th anniversary, they put together a list of the 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years.

On that list, in a joint count, are Rory & Lorelai of Gilmore Girls!

The full list is in the newsprint edition or here, but as you can see above, Lorelai & Rory took spot 65 on the list. Together they created a television first: mothers & daughters who were best friends. And with it, “some of the sharpest – and speediest – dialogue we’d ever heard on TV.”

Apparently the scripts didn’t even have punctuation and they needed a dialogue coach to help them not get overloaded with so much to say!

Thanks Adina for the scans!
