Paris's meltdown and rant about having had sex, but not getting accepted into Harvard, in the middle of her and Rory's graduation speech... downright brilliant!
I've probably seen this episode four times over the past twelve years, and it just never is short of brilliance, and even though it has always stayed clearly in my mind, I can't conceive of ever being bored by it. Not just the humour incited by Paris's actual rant, but also the underlying pathos of this complex psychologically brilliant, but emotionally starved character. As with that of the equally brilliant, but incredibly compassionate character of Rory who is just as socially awkward in her own way, but usually finds a way to go beyond those inhibitions when needed. She is indeed the "good" one, but not just because she still hadn't had sex.
I'd give it twenty stars if I could. One of the best episodes in a series that already has hit it way out of the park many many times.
