Description:

Boola boola! Rory starts her first year at Yale. Moola moola! Lorelai finally opens the Dragonfly Inn, although it takes her last dime (and a loan from Luke). The Gilmore girls return for another scintillating, snappy-patter year of Gilmore Girls. Welcome, Gilmore groupies, to the fourth season of the series acclaimed for its agile balance of life and laughter. Oh yes, and love. Lorelai has a romantic fling with her father's new, younger partner, but ends the year with the guy every fan has known was right for her all along. For Rory, Cupid seems to be on sabbatical -- then Dean and Jess re-enter her life. Sookie gets a Davey, Lane gets a life, Kirk gets a girlfriend(!) and you get a 22-episode vacation in Stars Hollow, plus DVD Extras and a mint on the pillow.



Special features include:

The Stars Hollow Interactive Trivia Game; Who Wants To Get Together - a montage of the season's best hook-ups, Goodies & Gossip - Fun Factoids appear on screen throughout the 'Girls in Bikinis', and 'Boys Doin' the Twist' episode.



Gilmore Girls: Season 4 Review:

In the fourth instalment of the Gilmore Girls the dynamic mother-daughter duo of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore are separated as Rory leaves for Yale. It seemed that the first half of the season got off to somewhat of a rocky start with the creative team struggling to keep the chemistry between its main characters now that Rory is away at school, but things soon heat up in Stars Hollow as Lorelai and Luke's relationship finally comes into fruition and is thrust to the forefront of the show. While for Rory, starting at Yale proves to be void from much in the way of drama until Dean and Jess re-enter her life. When it seemed that, perhaps, the series' peak had come and gone, produces manage to rekindle the chemistry we've come to expect, and in some instances the series reaches new highs- or at the very least, is on par with the first three seasons. As a whole, the fourth season may have not had the consistency illustrated in the previous three seasons, it had its moments and was far from anything resembling a let down.



Season 4 is also an excellent view into the transitioning between the high school life and the college life that any college girl can relate to. Gilmore Girls has always brought us the real life situations in such an elegant and heart-warming way, and this season is no exception!
