I liked the punch to start the episode
The humor seemed a lil off early in the episode
I wonder how many hours Lorelei actually works!
Kirk was fairly funny once again
I usually don't like TJ, but even he wasn't unfunny
Luke was a jerk in the street
Luke is obviously lying to himself
Lane's storyline was pretty funny
How dumb is Chris to leave that on the machine?
Rory's speech was devestating and right on
I'm glad Lorelei finally broke down a bit
I like em better now: Rory, TJ, Lorelei
I like em less now: Sookie, Chris
I like em the same: Luke, Kirk
I want Lorelei's parents to enter the new season soon

I am going to put my 2 cents worth. Luke had his chance and he didn't want her. And if I found out Adam had a kid and didn't tell me or want me involved/around that would be crazy so i can see where LoreLei is like that. Plus when you are given the ultimatium...take it!
In general I am always a sap for marriage or child sharing parents reconciling. I am a fan of saved marriages/relationships. Plus Chris is her first love :)
I was a bit surprised at Rory's reaction to L/C sleepover. Some kids would be glad that their parents were sleeping together again. The fact that they kept refering to Chris as "Dad" made me laugh too. But I liked her smart remarks about what she should have done. Rent affair to remember etc.
I can't belive Lane is prego either. And that she hates sex is hilarious!
What's the deal with sukki (sp?? weird names in this show...) not being that great of friend. Lorelai is screaming to have a girl chat with her body language and she is going off on food?? Tune in to your bf body language!
Oh good, a place to vent...
About this week's episode:
1) It was slightly more witty, quirky, and clever. Loved the movie star baby names scene.
2) Sad about what Luke is saying to Lorelei. This whole "we were never meant for eachother and you belong with Christopher and let me go back to being the guy who pores your coffee and you go back to being Lorelei Gilmore of the elite" crap..... Obviously, he did not read Wild at Heart. (not that i'm a huge endorser of the book, but the idea of not giving up your woman without a fight seems right). Still, Luke has the majority of my sympathy.
3) If Lorelei ends up with Christopher, I'm going to barf. He had 21 years to "be there for her" and to "woo" her or whatever. She had 21 years to "want him back" if she ever did. How could he possibly do after she has known Luke? (This is the part where I think I know the moral high ground and pontificate my opinions to the masses) Luke-- who by his actions has proven he is reliable and trustworthy and consistent for at least SEVEN years? Chris has never been consistent or steady in their lives at all. He was a poor father to Rory for at least 16 years, and he is currently a poor parent to his other daughter GiGi. Lorelei is frail for using him as her rebound guy and especially wrong for sleeping with him.(<---which I'll likely never get over--I know, I know--these are TV people, and so I shouldn't be shocked at casual sex, but I AM shocked. Why would she purposely sabotage her and Luke's possible reconciliation?)
Sigh.
What did y'all think/notice?
p.s. the lack of communication between Lane and her new husband Zack, worries me immensely. Also, the fact that she is confiding to her best friend that she is pregnant before her husband....worries me.
Heather,
I think Luke DOES want her. He just doesn't handle pressure well. But I do agree that Sookie is kinda 'blah' so far this season
Jo,
1. Yes, slightly better humor
2. Luke is lying to himself to avoid an emotional breakdown. He is pretending like he has no emotions. I can't imagine somebody being like that, haha
3. I agree. Perhaps we'll need to arrange a puke party.
4. I wouldn't be too worried about Lane/Zach. They'll be fine. I bet the writers will use 'fights' b/w them for comedy, but they'd never actually break them up. At least i don't think so. I was just happy they didn't go down the 'consider abortion' road
**SIGH**
I SO miss that show! We don't have WB anymore, since we moved back up north. We have to pay ridiculous amounts of $ to get anything more than basic cable. I guess I will have to stay updated on their happenings through your blog!
Of course Kirk is funny. I think that is all I need to say.
OK, in the words of J Allen (ex.pastor of PWC) we have "Amish Cable" and we get the CW (used to be WB). I only pay 10/month for basic.
Matthew, even if he wanted her he needs to communicate that. Women don't wait around and generally him not taking her ultimatium is NOT a good sign of the future.
I think Liz was right when she said they were off sinc.
So this TV show is now being made into a soap opera, eh?
Oh, I miss the parents too. They remind me of my grandparents.
Heather, I agree that he should have said yes. But it's not as if he didn't let her know that he wanted her. He definitely wanted to marry her, he just didn't want to be forced to be marry her that day.
As for being 'off sinc'...
I think they are completely different personalities, but an example of opposites attract.
BTW, I banned the phrase 'soap opera' last week. Continued usage will result in deleted comments :)
But it'd be fun to meet your grandparents if they are like her parents! :)
Soap Opera
Hi Heather,
:) We obviously have differing sympathies when it comes to the characters of this show! ;)
But your generalization that "women [or men] do not wait around," and that an ultimatum was necessary---well, I disagree. 1) The ultimatum wasn't necessary---communication about how she was feeling about being "left out" of his life was necessary. The ultimatum was a reaction. To this day Luke does not know about the chaos and jeopardy she feels in her "inner world" all because she failed to share it with him. 2) Maybe not the majority of folks, but a lot of people DO "wait around" especially if they are sure that they have a good thing, and they don't want anybody else. For her to demand an ultimatum at this juncture is like saying, "I was only dating you because I want to get married, I wasn't dating you just for you."
crap
heather called me on my empty threat :(
i agree with joanna, though, that ultimatum's are rarely (if ever) necessary, especially considering she never really sat down with Luke and calmly expressed her serious concerns. She should have done so, because she actually had great points. Sad that she never made them in a low pressure manner.
And I agree that people do 'wait around' if they truly want to be with a certain person. And It's not like he was delaying the wedding so that he could go fishing a few extra times. He was re-thinking life as a suddenly new parent. Seems like a reasonable thing to wait for.
Jo and Matthew - I am thinking about what makes good tv. I am not even coming close to actually analyze this which could be frustrating for you!
haha, good point :)
