Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life : Winter- Lorelai's Speech about her Father (after the funeral)

It disgusted me. They could have toned it down. I agree with Emily on this one. She looked ridiculous and sounded like a 5 year old. Her father died and that is what she says? Wouldn't have been that bad if they would have left the fact out that she was caught after sex in the pool house. Didn't need to know that. I thought the first time they really were disappointed in her was when they found out she was pregnant. I know she wasn't their perfect daughter but I thought that was the worst she did to them. And it didn't really make sense. She always snuck around, not blatantly have sex in her father's pool house. Very bad storyline in my opinion.

Yeah and I found it really uncomfortable how she said that Richard caught her at age 15 and thought she was losing her virginity, but Lorelai says he was wrong and she'd already lost her virginity a long long time before that. "Like Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria long time ago." like what? How old was she, then? 13, or even younger? I don't even want to think about it. How could she carelessly admit that to her mother and a bunch of old men?

The whole thing was odd. It was always implied that Chris was the first and that it was an impulse happening. Surely if she had been having sex with multiple partners she would have thought about birth control.

I agree, I was really shocked/surprised at the speech partially because it seemed to ignore continuity.

You do have to remember, she was very drunk.

That would be easier if she didn't already have a history of making inappropriate comments. Especially about her parents and often in front of an audience.

Yeah it seemed too far? Like at this point in her life you would think she would have grown up a bit. It seemed way too offensive even for Lorelai.

She acted so immature but one of my favorite scenes was that one between her and Emily in the kitchen. Emily told her something, and honestly, Lorelai deserved it. Even had she not told that story she had plenty of times in the past where she acted like a spoiled, petulant child, especially when around her parents.

I was annoyed about it too until the phone call/story to Emily in Fall. Niagra Falls on my face with that one
