Okay, so what did we think about Rory's 21st birthday last night? I was wondering how they were going to incorporate Madeleine Albright. Amy Sherman-Palladino's pure genius.

Luke calling Rory his almost step-daughter made me go awww. He's always cared about that kid. It's great that she's finally becoming his daughter (though we don't know when that is)

Hello Richard and Emily! Thank you for finally realizing what I've known all along --- your precious little Rory is NOT PERFECT! I'm glad to see Rory and Lorelai trying to be civil with each other...I don't know how much of this war I can take any longer!

And since the trailers for next week have already been featured:

JESS COMES BACK. OH YEAH.

I wonder if their chemistry's changed at all on screen since they've been in a long time relationship off screen.
