Gilmore Girls: Season 5 (Digipack)

The fourth season of "Gilmore Girls" was my least favorite to date because essentially Lorelia and Rory spent the year treading water. The finale of the third season, "Those Are Strings, Pinocchio," was when Luke had the dream about Lorelia asking him not to go on the cruise with Nicole, which created a nice bookend with the third season premier, "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days," when Lorelia had the dream about Luke. Clearly something was being set up for the fourth season, but the payoff was deterred all the way until the final episode, at which point Luke finally kissed Lorelia, Lorelia kissed him back, and then Rory went and lost her virginity to Dean, who happened to be married to Lindsay. Obviously the series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is well aware of all those romantic comedies that died as soon as the bickering couples consummated their love ("Moonlighting" being the paradigmatic example of such a fate). Still, waiting until the end of the fourth season to have Luke and Lorelai finally kiss was sheer agony.Between the first kisses and the consummation devoutly to be wished, the impediments came from other Gilmores. "Goodbye to Daisy Miller" has Lorelai worried about Rory and Dean, and then learning that her parents are separated. Fortunately Emily takes Rory to Europe and this actually gives Lorelai and Luke the necessary alone time. Ultimately "Gilmore Girls: The Complete Fifth Season" is about cementing the ties that bind between Luke and Lorelai. By the end of this season they have become one in every way that matters short of cohabitation and marriage, and are clearly moving in those directions. All of the best moments in this season have to do with those two, while Rory gets thrown off track by falling into the orbit of Logan Huntsburger and his family.The fifth season has several of my all-time favorite moments in the series to date and two moments when I was a-feared the show was jumping the shark. My first favorite moment comes in "Written in the Stars" when Luke and Lorelai go on their first date, he recalls the first time they met, and shows her what is in his wallet. Of course he is all in. Then there is the moment at the end of "Wedding Bell Blues," when Lorelai has learned from Christopher that Emily was encouraging him to rekindle their romance. As Lorelai was being dragged over for the wedding photography I was yelling at my television for Lorelia to "nuke" her mother, by which I meant to pull out the biggest nuclear device in her possession and drop it on Emily, which, I believe is exactly what she does. There was a close call for another great moment off of this plot line when Rory blows up at her grandmother in "So...Good Talk," but it fell short of my requirements (I want Rory to say to Emily, just once, "Grandmother, I love you a whole lot, but no matter what you do or what happens I will never love you more than I love my mom"). My second favorite moment is the end of "A House is Not a Home," and I am talking not only of Lorelia's final question of the season but the whole range of thoughts and emotions that Lorelai goes through right before she pops the question. Why Lauren Graham does not at least get nominated for an Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series is beyond comprehension (but neither did Sarah Michelle Gellar or any other actress from the WB).My first fears of shark jumping proved to be a false alarm, but in the wake of the wedding debacle I did not buy it when Luke tells Lorelai in "Say Something" that they could not be together. As the town elder points out in "Blame Booze and Melville," Luke has been waiting for Lorelai for a long time and he should be able to weather the perpetual hurricane that is Emily Gilmore. Fortunately Lorelia's phone call at the end of the episode changes the dynamic (Look at Luke's face: I swear he is ready to take her back right then). I should point out that my third favorite moment of the season is what accompanies Judy Garland singing "The Man Who Got Away" from "A Star is Born" at the end of "So... Good Talk."However, I had much greater concerns over what happens in "Blame Booze and Melville" when Mitchum Huntzberger lowers the boom on Rory and she decides to drop out of Yale. I personally think that a gopher/intern should keep their mouth shut in meetings of the senior staff at a newspaper. In the sixth season in "We've Got Magic to Do" it is suggested that Mitchum actually believes what he is saying, but I still find it hard to believe. But the resulting split between Lorelai and Rory is really the province of the sixth season, and while I agree that the dramatic consequences of such a rift was worth pursuing at this point in the series, I simply think that dropping out of Yale and moving in with grandma and grandpa was not the way to go (I waited in vain for Paris to really read Rory the riot act). But as the nadir of the series plays out against Claudin Longet singing "I Think It's Going To Rain" when Rory turns away from her mother, it also serves to set up the beauty of the cliffhanger that was never a cliffhanger."Wedding Bell Blues" was the show's 100th episode so it gets special treatment with the DVD extras here. However, the main thing is that we are now caught up with all five seasons out on DVD during the sixth season of "Gilmore Girls." Let joy be undiminished on theis new year's day.

The fifth season of Gilmore Girls might as well be named the Luke-Lorelai season, because basically that's what it was. From their first date, to thier breaking up, to Lorelai popping the question, it is obvious to me that they belong together. The break-up showed that. Luke was miserable without her, trying to find excuses to be near her, and Lorelai couldn't sit up! The whole point of the short break-up was to show that they belong together. It would be a major dissapointment to me if Luke and Lorelai didn't end the series together. After the great Luke-Lorelai romance, where could they go? Bring back Christopher? I don't think so.On to Rory... seasons 1-3 were basically about Lorelai and Rory. Thier relationship, and being best friends. When Rory went off to college, it was hard for them to stay as close. Despite a few exceptions(Rory visiting Lorelai in bed after Luke breaks up with her) there were few great Lorelai-Rory moments this season. This makes sense, because Rory is off to college, so some seperation is inevitable. Rory... has changed, and needless to say that has made many Rory fans unhappy. However, I think change is inevitable, especially when going off to college. And you can't blame it all on Logan. Although I don't nesesarrilly condone Rory's actions, I think her changes are more realistic than if should would have stayed exactly the same from ages 16-20.I liked Logan. I have to say that he was better than Dean, and way better the Jess(the jerk). Logan treats her right, so what he likes to have some fun? What has he really done to Rory or while he was with Rory that was all that bad? He stood up to his family when they attacked her at the dinner. Rory dragged him to steal the yacht, not the other way around. Rory needs to be blamed for her own actions, not Logan.All that being said, I really hope that they can repair the Lorelai-Rory relationship in season six, and I am pleading with the producers, PLEASE sign Scott Patterson for season 7!Overall, great season, with more great stuff to come!

You know, I'm a little late in reviewing this season of Gilmore Girls, and all of the previous reviewers are right on the money, but I thought I share in the Gilmore love fest here.There are so many monumental scenes and occasions in this season that make it such a must-see and in my case a must re-watch over and over! The season builds-up momentum and really hit's stride when marking it's 100th episode anniversary, (that was a great episode) and I have to agree with many, Lauren Graham deserves Emmy consideration! Nonetheless, many Luke and Lorelai fans will adore this season because the best stuff really comes from them. Emily is meaner then ever, Paris is just as nuts as she always is and yes, Rory has a new love interest, there's just one problem he doesn't commit well.Honestly the last episode of this season is the best of the series so far. I can't wait to watch them all over again, because I know there will be something I'll notice that I didn't catch before.If your unsure of investing in the Gilmore Girl sets then watch an episode of season 6 airing now, which is turning out to be, believe it or not, even better then season 5! It's already a shoe in for a 7th season and deserves all the praise it's getting, and all the praise the writers are getting for making us the fans fall in love with these characters all over again. There is no doubt in my mind that this series will eventually end with just as much whit, spunk, charm, warmth, and popularity as it did when it began and when that sad day comes I will have a complete set of one of the most fabulously crafted shows to ever grace our TV sets. Again, I am amazed at how these actors and writers make us feel so much in such a short amount of time. Time now, we can relive again and again whenever we please.

Esta es una de mis series favoritas y necesitaba tenerla. Creo que han sacado una nueva serie o una temporada nueva. Espero con ansia su salida al mercado.

J'adore cette série:- L'ambiance très "girly", avec des personnages que j'adore, Lorelai et sa fille Rory - que je trouve toutes deux très jolies- L'humour de Lorelai, les situations parfois cocasses!- La petite ville de Stars Hollows, où tout le monde se connaît,- Les personnages secondaires, tels que les parents de Lorelai, Sookie, Luke- le copain de Lorelai, sont également très attachants...On suit donc avec grand plaisir l'évolution des personnages. Le personnage de Lorelai est haut en couleurs, je l'adore: son débit de paroles est impressionnant et elle a également un sens de l'humour en toute situation!Au programme cette saison: Rory a bien évolué et décroché un emploi, en parallèle à l'Université de Yale, dans un journal! Toutefois, après une grosse désillusion, celle-ci prend une décision importante... Un nouvel amoureux, celui de Rory, fait aussi son entrée dans la série!Lorelai poursuit également sa relation avec Luke et prennent tous deux des engagements plus importants...Je conseille cette belle série, qui fait vraiment passer de bons moments!

Il DVD è fantastico, contiene parti tagliate MAI VISTE in tv ed è anche questo che lo rende ancor più affascinante!- Ci sono contenuti inediti che chiariscono, per chi ha seguito per anni le puntate televisive, tante situazioni e completano alla grande le storie delle nostre ragazze Gilmore.- ASSOLUTAMENTE CONSIGLIATO a chi ama già la serie, e sicuramente appena finisco questo DVD, inizierò a comprarli tutti dal primo all'ultimo!!!- Prezzo equo per il totale dei 6 DVD, serigrafati e carini nella presentazione.- Cofanetto resistente e quindi di valore aggiunto alla complessiva spesa sostenuta.- 5 STELLE assolutamente MERITATE!BUONA e PIACEVOLE VISIONE
