With this season of Gilmore Girls, creative forces Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino finally found a way to make the Stars Hollow-Yale dichotomy work perfectly, as each location still stood alone but had decided repercussions on the other. Gone were freshman-year anxieties for Rory and in their place were more adult romantic concerns as well as a class consciousness that, for the first serious time, found Rory on the side of the haves and not the have-nots. While the Rory-Dean drama played itself out nicely and succinctly, it was the devilish Logan who lit a fire underneath this Gilmore girl; the episode "You Jump, I Jump, Jack" was a lovely twist on the '30s romantic comedies that found rich folk at play with words and deeds. Bledel started to fully blossom as Rory grew from ingénue to leading lady, and she was matched peerlessly by Graham, whose passion, anger, stubbornness, and ravishing beauty all came to a head in "Wedding Bell Blues," which featured her two greatest nemeses: her mother and Rory's dad, Christopher (David Sutcliffe). The show's trademark eccentricities were all in place--including a Pulp Fiction party and an elementary school production of Fiddler on the Roof, among other things--but it mined the best drama of its run with the season's last four episodes, which found Rory's confidence shaken to the core. To give any of the proceedings away would spoil the drama, but suffice it to say you will be glued to the TV for this season's final four hours; it's Gilmore Girls at its phenomenal best. --Mark Englehart

Customer Reviews of Gilmore Girls - The Complete Fifth Season
Hmmm In my opinion, season 5 is when the girls start their not-so-graceful swandive to mediocrity. The emphasis of the show turns to Yale and Richard and Emily and the Huntzbergers so much so that the show is starting to resemble a "Who's who of upper class Conneticut" advertisement. Less and less time is spent in Stars Hollow, and former regulars on the show don't get the airtime they deserve. Suki, Jackson, Miss Patty, Babette (what happened to Maury anyway? He's simply disappeared from the show!) and even Taylor are rare sights these days. <
>It's hard to complain about Lorelia's character, on her own she's fabulous. But when paired with Luke? The show has deflated noticably since this unfortunate turn. <
>The same goes for Rory. Once a strong, independent character, she has been reduced to half of the Logan/Rory combination. By making the two women of the show half of a couple takes away from the girl power message the show started out with. They now need men to save them, like Luke loaning Lorelai the money and Logan (in season 6) sweeping in to save the paper just hours before publication. <
>The show was at its peak when it revolved around Stars Hollow. Season five isn't all bad, but it's the beginning of the end. Season 6 has bright spots, but they are few and far between. Who knows what will happen once Amy and Dan Palladino leave after this season? It's sad when a show overstays its welcome, as this one is in danger of doing.
Gilmore is LESS, this season.
I realized that the quality of this show had greatly diminished by the fact that I found myself fast-forwarding repeatedly on the last 3 dvd's of this season.

>I have always loved Gilmore Girls since Season 1, but I was so disappointed with Season 5, that I looked up the show's Episode Guide and read Season 6 synopses to determine whether it's worth it for me to buy it when it comes out.

<
>While Lorelei continues to be a strong character and Lauren Graham continues to shine portraying her; I found the plot lines to be dull, forced and plain boring.
<

<
>Unlike everyone else out there, I don't like Luke and Lorelei together. For me Lorelei's best match was Max. It was a pleasure seeing them together. Luke belongs in the "best friend category" and as a good contrast to Lorelei's sunny disposition. I found their scenes together forced and did not enjoy watching them together.

<
>I got tired of so many scenes by Doose, Kirk and all the silly characters which were funny before but now have been pushed to an extreme on the silly meter.
<

<
>The actress who plays Sookie, who is usually superb was, awful during the election of her husband to town's rep. She looks like she's acting.....
<

<
>Completely unbelievable that Lane and Zach got together, especially knowing they marry them off in Season 6. Ridiculous!!!!
<

<
>The positive this season? LOGAN. He was a pleasure to watch, and the mix between his good and "bad" sides were perfect. I enjoyed all the scenes between him and Rory. The screen lit up everytime he was on. I am glad to see he continues to be very present in season 6. BUT PLEASE, need to improve the kissing scenes between Logan and Rory. We're not watching a 1930's movie!!!!. Go back and watch Rory and Jess kissing, and then have Rory and Logan do the same.

<
>Rory's character had the most changes. It was good to see her making some bad decisions as she was just too perfect to be true. But I don't think the actress was up to the needed performance. I have a hard time accepting her as a 19-year old. Also,PLEASE do something about her wardrobe and hair. She looks 14 most of the time.
<

<
>So, in conclusion, maybe it's time for me to say good-bye to the Gilmore girls....In any case, if I keep watching it will be for Lauren Graham, who has been a wonderful and consistent Lorelei, for Logan and Rory together (I think the writers can help the actress who plays Rory to evolve in her role), and that's about it.
awesome show
suprisingly decent effort from the WB, January 30, 2006

<
>ok this guy is so incredibly messed up/pretentious
<
>i mean dude, first off, it's Dean, not Derek, and his wife was a total mismatch for him. not that he was a good one for Rory though, she and Jess totally need to hook back up
<
>but w/e.
