Episode Flashback: When Gilmores Attack

Fans who were frustrated with the new turns GG's Season Six took (drama overload, surprise daughters, feuding Gilmores) found some solace in "Friday Night's Alright for Fighting," an old-school episode where the Gilmores just plain had it out over dinner.

Just think of all the issues that come to the table:

*Emily and Richard didn't believe Lorelai about the Huntzbergers' rudeness until they saw it firsthand at the DAR party.

*Rory's suddenly letting Christopher pay for college instead of Emily and Richard (but she hasn't TOLD Emily and Richard yet).

*Lorelai's dealing with a shaky engagement, a postponed wedding, and a distant fiancé. And now a crazy family dinner.

*Emily and Richard still have some underlying issues about Rory staying with them while she took time off from Yale.

It's the first time these four have faced off in one room in quite some time, and, paired with some fancy-schmancy camera work, it makes for some darn good television -- one of the more memorable Friday night dinners, we think.

Relive the drama: read a recap, see pics from the emotionally-charged evening, and tell us -- was this the most memorable Friday night dinner ever? Or were there others from past seasons that make your list?
