    Season Two: Full Review

    This season is all about "boy" drama - for mother as well as daughter, which follows a well-established set pattern throughout the entire series.

    Honestly, I believe, I hope this series is studied as part as a psychology program for it displays repeated patterns of behavior that are destructive, attention-seeking, and somewhat petulant - especially for VLG who is the adult but too often tantrums, pouts, and withholds if she doesn't get her way.

    When I'm being too hard on Lorelai, I must remind myself that she has been on her own since the age of sixteen and cut her a little slack.

    This season is all about mother and daughter falling into old patterns and the chaos that it creates in their lives.

    • Trivia
      The Chuppah that Luke made for Lorelai and Max's wedding was used for Sookie and Jackson's ceremony at the Independence Inn.
    • Goofs
      When Emily accuses Lorelai of giving her a pity invite to Sookie's wedding because there was no invitation, Lorelai didn't mention that the invitations were messed up so Sookie said they would just tell people when it was.
