Directing and writing credits: "You Jump, I Jump, Jack" is directed by Kenny Ortega, written by Daniel Palladino. Ortega is a fucking powerhouse. When I see his name on the credits, I feel confident that the episode is going to slap. This is true not just of "

'Gilmore Girls' Season 5, Episode 1: Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller

Directing and writing credits: In somewhat standard fashion, ASP writes and directs the S5 premiere. The pilot and Palladino-less S7 opener are the only exceptions to the norm. While I understand it, I totally resent her for leading us deeper into a third take of Rory and Dean's
