[TV] Gilmore Girls 5.17

Some nice genuine moments of emotion here. A great confrontation between Lorelai and her mother Emily - once again, the 2 mother-daughter relationships in the show parallel each other in interesting ways. Finally, Michel gets a telling-off.

Plus Lauren Graham is hot. :)

Last week I had some pacing issues with how quickly Luke reconciled with Lorelai. These weren't addressed, so much as gleefully ignored. The series designers aren't interested in Luke's motivations so much as in creating a situation where Emily once again tries to bring her daughter back into the family. It's weird - I'm interested in the relationship, but the show is clearly focused around the 3 female leads - so that's where all its pacing and presentation decisions lean into.
