Ok, a day late and a dollar short...that's my motto. I just saw this week's episode last night and...well, it really ticked me off.
What was the whole deal with Emily acting like Lorelai was some trailer trash girl who couldn't possibly have anything in common with the likes of them or Logan? It was just too weird. And why the heck did Lorelai just sit there and take it? It seemed so out of character for her.
I like Logan but he acted like a twit and I'm really not fond of the way Rory acts around him. That whole scene where she was talking about Googling his dad--she was talking in this really little girl voice and it was so...again...out of character. What's up with that?
Also...did you get the feeling with Lorelai considering that offer to sell interest in the inn and be a consultant...that it was tying in with that whole thing with Dean telling Luke that he wouldn't be enough for her? I thought that comment was odd...Lorelai was the one who ditched the whole rich family scene to live in Star's Hollow...for 20 YEARS. Why would she suddenly decide that it's not enough?
DD didn't see the episode so I need another perspective! Opinions, please? Mal, you out there?
I'm here...but only for today! This is my last DIS day until after the baby...I don't have a computer at home, but I'm working on it! Anyway, here's my thoughts:
The whole Emily/Lorelai thing irritated me too...I can only think Lorelai took it so as not to cause a scene in front of Logan? But why she was worried about it, I have no idea. Emily is a bag these days. That whole sidecar thing po'd me!
Yeah, Rory is WAY too needy with Logan. And I HATE the way she can be upset with him, but as soon as she sees him everything's hunky dory with the world. Of course, when you're 20, that's about the size of it, i guess. I've been there, but at the ripe old age I am now, I hate seeing it! I am wondering how this whole thing with his dad is going to play out. Previews for next week don't look promising.
I think Lorelai is being influenced by her father's approval. She's never had it, and now that he's giving it to her, she kind of dazzled by it and wants it to keep coming. I think she thinks that by being a globe-trotting business woman, she will have finally done something right in his eyes. I think she has always wanted a better relationship with him; she seems to need him and his approval in a way she doesn't want it from her mom. I've always kinda thought this. And yeah, they're trying to tie it in with the whole Dean/Luke "we're blue collar and therefore not good enough for the Gilmores" thing.
I feel sorry for Luke...and I wonder if Lorelai is really pregnant, or if it's just a scare. I have a feeling it's going to be just a scare, but before they find out for sure she'll tell Luke, he'll be thrilled, she'll realize she's not so thrilled, and it'll cause all kinds of rifts in their relationship.
Whew! Long post!!! I think I'll take a breath now...but not before I end my post in my traditional:
Still don't like Logan!
Oh, and Logan's family knows the Gilmore's quite well and in the first episode where they introduced him he called the grandfather "Richard." And it's obvious they adore him. But I agree with whoever said that they wouldn't like him so much if they knew Rory and him were doing the wild thing
