The rapid-paced banter between the mother-daughter team
of Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis
Bledel) is the calling card for Gilmore Girls.
The show's sixth year--which aired during the 2005-2006
TV season--remains witty, charming, and touching. The
previous season left Yale undergrad Rory in trouble with
the law after a night of very un-Gilmore-like behavior
with her rich, handsome boyfriend Logan (Matt Czuchry).
This season opens with Rory potentially facing jail
time, undecided about returning to college, and--most
disturbingly of all--fighting with her mother. This
isn't a fight over who gets to eat the last egg roll,
but rather a battle of wills. It will take a few
episodes before the two are talking to each other again
and the viewer can breathe a sigh of relief that all is
well in Stars Hollow. In the meantime, Rory moves into
her busybody grandparents' pool house. One evening, they
invite their minister over to dinner. His job? To
encourage Rory to remain chaste. Not one to be told how
to live her life, Rory is nonplussed. After telling him
he's a little too late to offer that advice, she asks,
"Have you seen The 40 Year Old Virgin"?
After many years of playing verbal footsy, Lorelai
and Luke (Scott Patterson) finally get serious and
engaged. But just when things are going smoothly, Luke
learns of a daughter he never knew he had. The
introduction of the little girl doesn't do much for the
plot--other than to slow it down and cause more fights
between Luke and Lorelai. When Luke warns Lorelai, "I
don't like ultimatums," she snaps back, "I don't like
Mondays, but unfortunately they come around eventually."
This 5-disc 22-episode set includes an eclectic and
impressive range of guest stars (Skid Row's Sebastian
Bach, Paul Anka, Sonic Youth, and Madeline Albright, who
appears in a dream sequence as Rory's mom). But it's
cast regular Kelly Bishop as Lorelai's mother Emily who
is one of the show's true gems. Prim, proper, and
judgmental, she's also fiercely protective of her brood.
When she learns that Logan's mother said unfavorable
things about Rory, Emily confronts the woman and puts
her in her place. Politely, of course. By the end of the
season, one of the main characters will get married,
another will have an affair, and a third will have a
dalliance with an ex-boyfriend. But the relationship
between Lorelai and Rory remains strong. And that's what
keeps viewers watching. --Jae-Ha Kim
Product Description
Can it be the Gilmore Girls if the Gilmore girls aren't
together? At the end of Season 5, Rory dropped out of
Yale and moved into Emily and Richard's poolhouse --
decisions that broke Lorelai's heart. That's handy,
because one half of that heart can be deliriously happy
with the big new step in her love affair with Luke.
Meanwhile, the other half grieves, and it seems everyone
in town wants mother and daughter to reunite. But it may
take an unexpected out-of-towner to make it happen. Of
course, there's much more: Lane gets a surprise that
leaves her reeling with joy. Luke gets a surprise that
may send the Luke-and-Lorelai relationship reeling.
What's no surprise is the snappy, wish-I'd-said-that
Gilmore dialogue, knowing humor and insightful
storytelling fans adore. Season 6 starts now!
