I can feel my hands curling into fists before I even press play...

This episode's events irritate me so much I waited till this morning to start it, even though it means I won't have time to finish it before work. Firstly, to quote a character recently played by Stephen Dillane (so feel free to read this quote in Stannis's voice), Logan's family are transcendent, unmitigated bastards. Secondly, I'm not a huge fan of the way Rory handled it. You might be a Gilmore but what's more important is you're a Lorelai. That's why you're good enough. Also, very early on the subtitler missed a joke. When Paris asks Kirk if he's hungover from punch, his response isn't 'splutters', it's 'Abba-Zabas', meaning he's had too many of a specific US brand of candy bar.

Yeah, I can forgive Rory for her tone-deaf, "But, I'm a Gilmore!" until I think about it too much (she's still a kid, sort of). Once Rory falls for Logan, we see Rory get a little squishy on her place in the world. On the one hand, the world of Stars Hollow and all the wonderfully weird characters who give life color, and on the other, the gilded world of the Gilmores and the Huntzbergers, and what that world can offer if you play by their rules. She's now a victim of that world, and instead or falling back on the roots Lorelei worked so hard to give her (Yes, I am good enough, because I'm a good person) she goes right into claiming the gilded world as hers. But that's sort of been set up from the very first episode of the series, that there will be 2 worlds for Rory to navigate, as we learn about how Lorelei abandoned one of them, and why.
