S4...Ooo La La

For the past month and a half, I’ve been biting into my DVD bunker and re-watching all of my favorites. Charmed, Lost and Everwood have kept me company, but oh, ho! I’ve been hankering for some Gilmore. Given my love for season four, I relaxed last night and dived into the first two discs. And I must say that it’s given me a calm, a sweet release! This season springs forth more humor and witty repartee than ever seen or enjoyed. It is completely an Ooo La La season.

Lauren Graham is extremely incredible at her job. Her skills amaze me in this bright season, and I’m not just calling the season bright because of the box. No, it’s Lauren’s beauty on screen! There really isn’t any line or dialogue that she can’t present. Her “mattress” banter with Luke in The Lorelais’ First Day At Yale proves just that. The writing there was great, though the delivery was just genius! But not only can she spit out words by the second with graciousness, she can spill emotion even grander. Saying goodbye to Rory at the dormitory’s main entrance ties that skill in a nice, neat package. And another highlight concerning Lauren this season is her hair. I swear it’s the best she has ever sported. The long and curly really works.

Mama’s girl! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I can’t say that I thoroughly enjoyed the writers direction with Rory’s attachment to her mother in the second episode of the season, but Alexis Bledel did deliver with some taste. Well, enough taste that I didn’t want to hurl. The exchange was a little out of Rory’s character. I would have figured Lorelai for a reaction like that, if I considered one necessary at all. However, Alexis had Rory pinned to the wall this season. There is no guy to play around with -- to screw her up, except for Dean…ahhhhhh…I haven’t gotten there so I won’t dwell. Rory is really in her element this season. It’s all about school and college life. Dating, studying and…partying? All of the things surrounding a college student, even pissed off ballerinas (hee hee). Oh, how I miss that the past two seasons!

I wanted to type too, that all of the other characters are just as “ab fab” as the leading ladies. Emily is marvelous! Her Friday night hostage extravaganza was too great. Completely Emily, and I loved it. Then, clueless Luke…such a funny character. And movie night -- AWESOME! And let’s not forget Kirk - he is still as quirky as ever. His affection toward Lorelai was coo coo, but definitely foreseeable. Now, the best for last: Richard Gilmore. Out of all the side character, he is the one I love. His relationships with Rory and Lorelai are too remarkable. He is definitely up there in the ranks with Graham, for he can fence with the best of them (figuratively speaking, of course).

What are your thoughts on this season? I don’t know most of your affections toward this season on account that I started this blog in the middle of season six. But what are your feelings about no-men Rory, the path of L&L and the plots? Good? Bad? Gilmore? Not Gilmore?
