I love all of these eps! LOL, I rate Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doing The Twist as a FAVORITE ep....and I plumb forgot what Lorelai was doing in that ep. The Rory/Paris stuff is just too much fun- it makes the ep. I'm not even into shoe-horned characters- but it just seems so right that they'd run into a Madeline and Louise making...like a "NON-career" out of spring-breaking. Hee!
I do like Lorelai/Luke- even though I'm not a hard-core shipper. However, yes, it's part of why I find the last three eps magical. But like, I HATE Rory/Dean- but enjoy the last three eps because I think the story behind their lead-up to an affair was pretty well written and a rare case of GG doing some good gritty behavior depicting Rory behaving badly. (Although, that went to pot in S5 when consequences for Rory were swept under the rug and I still hadda deal with Rory/Dean scenes as a "romance".)
I think a lot of my faves also comes from Gilmore Family Conflicts.
I don't know what fandom consensus is with GG tbh lol, I just assumed that Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doing The Twist wouldn't be considered one of the classic episodes because it doesn't involve anything with Lorelei and her parents, but yeah Paris was so great in that episode! I loved her and Rory just not particularly wanting to go outside their hotel room and take part in the activities, it felt like a very Gilmore Girls way of handling the somewhat clichéd college Spring Break plot

:nods: Basically throw Emily into an episode, and it's usually a win for me! When I was first considering my list I was going to include the first three episodes of season 1 as well actually, Rory bonding with her grandfather for the first time in episode 3 is especially sweet, but I had to cut it down a bit unfortunately or I would have ended up listing about 5-6 episodes from each season *g*
