"This from the man who yelled 'Finally!' at the end of 'Love Story'." Best line ever.

For all of his love of, "this is the way things are done," and being a part of the establishment, digging deeper into Richard, the one time he seemed to rebel against his upbringing was dumping his fiance and marrying the hot girl, Emily... Remember, his mother doesn't approve of Emily to this day. Lol!

New Haven IS like the burnt coffee at the bottom of the pot... however, Yale is incredible, historic, and so beautiful! Yes, the Whiffenpoofs are a real thing! The hospital at Yale is one of the best hospitals in the world! They saved my husband's back after an injury while working as a firefighter/EMT. They did a 3-level fusion surgery with lots of metal to hold his back together. Then put him through work hardening to prepare him to go back to work by doing 2 months of gruelling physical therapy with all of his firefighter gear on. It's really an incredible program. He never would have made it back to work full duty if it weren't for Yale! They saved his career and then, they saved his life... at the age of 46, he had a heart attack at work and ended up needing an emergency quadruple bypass, followed by 5 stents in the bypass grafts because they kept collapsing. They had to put a balloon in his heart to keep him alive long enough to fix his heart! It's now 8 years since then, and he is doing better than ever! Being a firefighter since he was 15 exposed him to all kinds of things that ended up making his heart sick. We owe Yale everything... my husband wouldn't still be running into burning buildings if it wasn't for them! Great reaction as always, fellas! So excited to get on with this season now that the Rory/Dean breakup is over!

I'm a sucker for your detailed analysis. And I love Jess' sarcastic and witty comments this ep. ("Depending on the sock design, it could be hilarious.")

It's so weird, I like Richard a lot but he is really a jerk sometimes, especially with Lorelai. He can so sweet and so evil... I love Edward Hermann though. Idk if I would have liked Richard if it weren't for him and his elegance and his cheeky tone.

Someone probably already said it by now, but just in case: Alexis Bledel and Milo Ventimiglia were in a relationship from 2002 (through filming season 2) to 2006 (three 1/2 years).

The Yale bit was shot in my town Claremont at the theatre where we did our high school plays

This was a good episode. I loved the scenes with Richard and Emily before the interview; it was really cute them taking the girls around. The interview, though, was ill advised! Lorelai's "Meet George Michael" got me lol. I forgot she said that! I do appreciate Rory taking some accountability for her part in the breakdown of her relationship with Dean.

Lorelai's jokes were on fire in this episode. "Meet George Michael" and "This from the man who yelled 'finally' at the end of Love Story" were absolutely brutal.

Thank you! Jess is incredibly clever. I feel like that's a thing that he and Lorelai can bond over (or maybe she just sees too much of herself in Jess and that's why she's so hesitant).

So, I’m not at all defending Richard’s abhorrent behavior here, I don’t think he’s entirely wrong about Lorelai not wanting Rory to go to Yale because of Richard. I’m not sure it was entirely conscious, but given that we know Rory has been wanting to go to Harvard since she was far younger than any kid has any real idea what college is. I think Lorelai tells Max at some point that Rory had a Harvard shirt at 3? Lorelai was 16 when Rory was born and teens are not always rational. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if at some point in a fight Lorelai thought about how great it would be if Rory went to Yale’s rival and the idea of Harvard stuck even if where she got the idea came from. Luke’s intense over protectiveness of Rory towards always cracks me up!

I totally get where Richard is coming from but it's overshadowed by how gross he can be. Also I can totally see Lorelei doing that honestly.
