Emily and Richard Being Posh and Practical | Gilmore Girls

[@matthutcherson6379]

Lorelai throwing a fit over Rory applying to more than 1 college is insane

[@tvojeprezuvky]

Well, it was coming from an emotional place, there was no logic involved. Yale was basically a symbol of her parents always taking control over her/their lives. It actually made sense from her POV that she did freak out. Because it wasn't just about the college. But you're right, to the viewer it is pretty insane reaction.

[@JoseDiaz-bs1jg]

She is the worst ,, her character is the worst.

[@christinacannilla9631]

Emily and Richard finding the dog was a PERFECT example of well written characters because you can tell so much about them from that one simple scene

[@TheHomerowKeys]

As an English tutor and script editor, I would totally give the Dog scenes to someone as a character analysis. You need no other information really to understand who these people are.

[@adeleaslan8182]

I think Lorelai giving birth is also a scene that showcases that

[@camilaalexandra2844]

“My daughter is very successful in what she does” Period

[@fernandaherrera5920]

The next scene is sad though, because when she thanks him he lets her know that he was not trying to protect her but the Gilmore name.

As flawed as Emily was, she always wanted her girls in her life. She fought for that relationship. And while she was never perfect, I’ll always respect her for fighting to be in her girls’ lives.

I love Emily. She was stellar in her class.

[@mytube785]

So well said… she acted so well as Emily 😂

[@jcf2322]

Emily and Richard had their flaws, but they were a product of their time. It doesn't make their deplorable treatment of people of a lower class than them acceptable, and the show does often show instances of them being humbled, Emily especially when she has to interact with her mother-in-law. They were loving parents and grandparents, just misguided and a bit rough around the edges, but clearly always had the best intentions. Emily thankfully was able to get fleshed out in the Netflix revival. If there is another season, I hope it gets to show how Emily becomes the spoiling your great grand children kind of great grandma.

[@freeinghumanitynow]

Here! Here!

[@Mrs._.GalaxyWanderer]

Logan: “Trust me, they never notice.” You have never met Emily Gilmore, sir. That woman knows where everything in her house is supposed to be and how she wants it. Stealing something from her is taking your life into your own hands.

[@mocowan6642]

And I loved how in A Year In The Life they used that to show how Emily was dealing with her grief by her blunder of commissioning that extremely large portrait of Richard.

[@mikelgibson4781]

I loved how you got to see Emily using her college background majoring in History later in life after Richard passed on (in the Year in Life). She loved telling the true gruesome stories about the whaling industry, and how she was forging along on in life. You got to see her grow again into a womans third act in life.

[@lunaloutfy]

These two were definitely the highlight of the series for me. They were honestly the only relationship I cared about on the show, and I seriously enjoyed watching their dynamic on my screen. Their chemistry was everything and I loved them so much! There was never a dull moment with them and were literally the reason why I kept watching. I always looked forward to seeing what shenanigans they would be up to in upcoming episodes 😭❤️

[@freeinghumanitynow]

What a lovely homage to Em and Richard. They're such a dignified, classy couple. They're far more entertaining than the classless exploits of the gruesome twosome.

I don't see anything wrong with it, she's always so beautiful and put together 💅👑

[@doody244]

Her wardrobe too. Emily is dressed in a proper but somewhat dowdy manner. She isn’t the fashionista she is in later episodes. Kelly Bishop is only 56 here but the hair and clothing add ten years to her age.

[@natalynne]

Yeah I think her style became less businesslike and more elegant and feminine with the longer hair and skirts instead of pants

[@lauraelizabethbrown]

These two are too iconic for words.

[@Mightyblackcats]

Emily's speach at the DRA party is savagery at its finest

[@Scoutie1991]

While I think Lorelei was a great mom and an all around amazing woman, and I totally understand her issues with her parents, they were actually there for her through thick and thin regardless. I don’t think it was unreasonable for Emily to ask that they visit once a week and update her on their lives.

[@radhiadeedou8286]

She was absolutely not a great mom

[@JoseDiaz-bs1jg]

Lorelai is a poor me poor me im rich and my mom dont get me,,, leaving ur family like that ,, speaking low about then the whole series ,, everytime ,, terrible daugther ,, terrible mother trying to be her best cool friend and not a mother

[@Ecalsneerg]

Mind you, I have always thought "no it has to be Friday, you can't reschedule days", which came up a few times, was NUTS when their daughter worked in the hospitality trade.

[@danika9411]

​​@@JoseDiaz-bs1jg If you have parents that are unable to understand you, lack empathy and are unable to see things from your point of view constantly, then you will understand her situation. Plus being very controlling. They provided for her financially, but they neglected her emotionally. And that is painful. And if this goes on for a long time, it can damage the relationship. And that is what happened with Lorelei and her parents.

[@Elizabeth-tq7qw]

23:46 was a stupid moment in Lorelai’s life. Of course Rory needed safety schools, and of course one of the safest bets would be where her grandparents are alumni and have probably donated. Those connections shouldn’t be things that make it easier to be accepted, but they are. Having back-up options is what everyone should do unless they live in the land of flying pink unicorns. This was the one time I remember that she really was being paranoid about her parents.

[@GaymingAndStuff]

Lorelai was such a brat in that episode. It really was sad, because Rory is smart and can think for herself, and it was as if she was invalidating Rory's intelligence. She had to be humbled.

[@empressuchiha5370]

I agree she totally overreacted

Thank you for this compilation. As I get older I find myself drawn to Emily's and Richard's point of view as well as Lorelai's relationship with them. I'm happy they were able to heal it towards the end of the series.

[@valerieodonnell6764]

Same. I was about Rory’s age when the series aired and I identified most with her, then years later I watched it all again and was drawn most to Lorelai. Now it’s definitely Emily and Richard I find the most interesting.

[@eliranpinhasov5940]

Loved their dynamic!

[@soniacohon9674]

Lorelai is very wrong!! Yes Rory has been pinning for Harvard for many years. But it doesn't necessarily mean she'll get accepted by Harvard. There's no guarantee even how smart you are. Every high school student knows you have to apply to several universities as back up. Since Lorelai didn't graduate high school because she got pregnant at 16, she doesn't know these things.

[@radhiadeedou8286]

That's not a valid excuse, it's basic common sense, you don't apply to one school cause if you're rejected you're screwed, but Lorelei thinks her kid is too special to be rejected

[@KarishmaChanglani]

I don't think it's about backups. It's about how her father bamboozled the two earlier with the meeting with the Dean. And how they have a pattern of pushing their will on others. Lorelei struggles with figuring out what is and isn't manipulated by her parents and this is one of those instances where she isn't sure so she assumes the worst cause historically she has been right to assume the worst.

[@snooze6650]

[@alonam8191]

I`m sorry but they were very toxic to their daughter and granddaughter. This wasn't charming, this was actual mental abuse at some points. I guess I liked the show like everyone else but looking back this was hard to watch at times. Making them come to dinner to pay for college and holding money over their heads and that speech Richard gave Lorely about her rnuning away at 16 instead of actually taking accountability for their awful parenting. Not very good parents.

Imagine being made out to be a villain because you want your only child to embrace hypergamy and not carry before she marries. Imagine being the bad guys because you want her to be with a provider who loves and protects her. Feminism has ultimately betrayed a lot of women. There is nothing romantic about struggle and rebellion.

[@violettippet5246]

Protects her from whom? Men don't protect. My ex was in the army. When a flock pf pigeons scared him, and he didn't know what they were, he used me as a human shield. A man has NEVER protected me ever. Do go on about how policeofficers protect me. Not true. By the time they come around the crime has a;lready been commited. They didn't protect me. The army protects me from other armies? Thanks. Men have never protected me and if they did, it would be from thesmselves? Women have protected me from men, men have never. So the only thing you're good for is providing? In hunter gatherer days gatheres got 80% of the food source, and agriculture has mainly been female. Also we can provide for ourselves. Aren't we golddigers for expecting you to do your one job? Also they don't want their daughter to practice hyergamy, they want her to practice endogamy which is what people have been mainly practicing for centuries. Hypergamy, and hypogamy is actually quite rare, so rare in fact, it is notable when done. Im not saying single motherhood is a good thing. But you all need to get over yourselves.Hypergamy has never seemed to work out for the women who have participated. They usually get left for a younger woman, within 12 years. Also most single mothers are not single by choice. It's because the man left. Men have tried to convince themselves that they are sooo relevant...THey are, but yall aren't as important as you think.

[@freeinghumanitynow]

@@violettippet5246 What on earth does your trauma have to do with men being protectors and providers? Your experience isn't normal - that's the point. Men of this society are messed up but that's not normal. Emily and Richard wanted Lorelei with a fellow blue blood. The problem with the GG fanDUMB is that most of them have no clue how the blue bloods move. They're broke common folk who don't understand the rules of engagement of the super wealthy. Why not just admit that Lorelei is a rebel? I mean......🤔🤔 What's so awful in admitting that Lorelei's a rebel who rejects her family's values? She rejects her family's values but not their coin. She's a rebel, hypocrite and terrible mother.

[@queencleopatra007]

Lorelei's actions have nothing to do with feminism or not wanting to be with a man. She dates, and gets engaged to several men throughout the series, so she's clearly not against marriage. She wanted independence from her parents first and foremost. The reason she didn't marry Christopher is because she was tired of her parents making decisions for her. She's no more of a "feminist" than Emily is.

Imagine your parents not respecting your opinion and force you to go one way or another with your life and you are never heard for how you feel. And for them to look down upon your lifestyle just because it does not fit the uniform life template of the upper class. Feminism is not about rejecting a lifestyle, any lifestyle, it is giving women the choice to embrace whatever path she may choose.
