I was just thinking about this episode the other day! When both Lorelai & Rory got dirty looks from the other women. But I really do love this episode. One of my all-time favorites. I can’t help but cry at the end of it every single time. It’s so bittersweet. You’re happy for Rory choosing Yale but the inn burning down is just devastating. A great episode. I want one of those t-shirts, too. But I highly doubt anyone would get the reference. (Everyone in the world isn’t quite as huge a fan as I am, unfortunately.)

I dont like Lindsay and Nicole,cuz Lindsay is kinda snob to Rory and Nicole kinda little mean to Lorelai this episode.I love part of Lorelai tell Luke about her dream make Luke smile and Lorelai might feeling for him,but nervous tell him about this.I dont think so Jess go to school,I think he lied to Luke about go to school,but not.Cuz work at Wal-Mart for 40 hours,but Luke dont like it.

This is one of my fav episodes in Season 3. I agree the best part in the entire episode is when Lorelai is sleeping over Luke’s and they talk. First they talk so openly and comfortably about relationships I think it’s very refreshing to see a man and a woman connect like that. When Luke was nervous with Nicole on their first date he switched to something he felt comfortable thinking/talking about… uh, unfortantely that was Lorelai. Not to hard to see where that is going. But what really stands out is when Lorelai tells him about “the dream”. Neither one seemed uncomfortable about it but as Lorelai goes along things start to sink in a little bit but instead of showing they were uncomfortable, they started to have a little spark of something pass between them.

The Poe Night was hilarious.

I loved this episode!! I loved the ending with lorelai telling luke about her dream! I think she told him cause it sort of came out as she was talking friend to friend with him and then she kinda realized in the middle that she might have feelings for him but is shy to admit that to him.

I beleive Jess innt going to school. He is at a point in his life where it is confusing. His mom and dad are not there for him and he gets shipped off to this samll town in which he doesnt want to be….the people are strange….untill he meets rory whom he likes. He blows off school and works to get money….i mean i dont think he is a really BAD boy but i feel his feelings and emotions about his situation are expected and well deserved. Looking back on the episodes and rewatching them….i realize in a way i do feel sorry for him. In the beginning i just hated him with rory…but now i am beginning to see that they did share a special relationship….i just wish that rory would have given him a second chance when he showed up later on…..maybe things would have changed…
