Okay, this will have to be quick.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t part of Lorelai’s talk with the “shrink” last year about wanting to have a baby with Luke? But now . . . she’s not so sure about having one with Christopher. Well, wait! She did already have one with Christopher! And he wasn’t around! Weren’t those good times! Can anyone blame Lorelai for not wanting to relive them?
It seems more and more obvious that Lorelai is figuring out that she didn’t just want to be married. She thought she wanted to be married, that that would bring her “the whole package.” But what she wanted was to be married to Luke.
I’m not sure how I feel about what Emily said . . . on one hand, Lorelai does need to learn how to compromise. On the other, she can’t compromise on things that are . . . essential to who she is, like living in Stars Hollow. Or not being ready to have a baby. How can Christopher say that she’s the only one who gets to decide, when he was the one who decided they should get “married” in Paris. And it happened, even when she wanted to wait. Stop being such a baby, Christopher.
Anyway, cute Luke and Lorelai scene! Poor Luke keeps getting dumped on! I hate Anna so much I could spit! I wish Luke could beat on Christopher EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
I didn’t love it. It seemed kind of off. But I am not going to complain when Lorelai is counting soap instead of hanging out with Christopher. No, indeed.

I hate Anna more than you do! I hated her last season. Everything is her fault! If she had been a good person, she would have told Luke about the April and he would have been a great father. No more ranting here though.
I am also hating Logan. While I agree that Rory was indeed wrong in not telling her friends about Marty – she realized it and was going to correct the situation. I mean, yes, she should have corrected it sooner, but Logan only decided he couldn’t play along when Marty made the comment about waiting for his trust fund to kick in. Grow up. After making that speech to Rory last week (which I agree, she needed to hear), take your own advice and accept where you come from. Don’t put down those who work to better themselves. That’s enough of that.
Yay Lorelai for being so cute with Luke and your future niece!
hehe – I almost fell off the couch laughing when either Luke or Chris tumbled over the Christmas tree in the middle of their fight – maybe that should be our new campaign – ‘a fight in every episode!’
Yeah, you were definitely right in telling me that this wasn’t one to rush out and see. [I decided I should see it before 2007, though.
]
The whole episode did seem very off to me. I didn’t buy Lorelai standing there when Chris stormed out of the planning meeting—I mean, I was happy with her not doing it, but it just didn’t seem like something that she’d do in that instance. [Not after the bathroom confrontation scene.]
I think the Lorelai-Emily scene at the end was a bit of a ruse; something to give the Christopher fans some hope. But man, their hope is as scattered as all the Christmas hokum in the park in Stars Hollow.
[Poor Scott Patterson, he's too old for that fighting crap anymore.]
Oh, and … I have to say that I’m on Logan’s side on telling Gia. [I'm sorry ... she's going to be Gia from S2 VM given how little they say her name on this show.] I can understand why Rory’s upset, and I guess I get why Gia is upset, but … well, that’s all Marty’s fault. And … it is.
[But they gave me hope! Hope in Marty and Rory swapping with Logan and Gia! HOPE! HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!]
[[Okay, I feel better now.]]
Bullcrap. No way. Because I am sure we can go back and find instances where Logan told white lies for his friends. That wasn’t about caring about Gia at ALL, and it wasn’t about caring about the truth. It was about revenge, plain and simple, revenge because Marty made the trust fund crack.
Nor was it Logan’s place to be a “crusader for truth” or whatever. The most he could/should have done was encourage Rory to be honest (which, I agree, she should have).
I completely believe that Marty was wrong in lying to his girlfriend. And I think that Rory got in over her head when she went along with it. But that doesn’t mean that Logan was right to do what he did, either.
[_Steve]What, Logan can’t change?[/_Steve]
[This is me, running to the hills.]
I didn’t think that it was revenge for the trust-fund crack. If it was vengeful, I think it was Marty trying to make a move on Rory.
[I'm still not quite believing that I'm defending Logan, considering how much I have HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATED him in the past.]
Yeah, see, I saw Marty make the trust fund crack, Logan make a calculated look at him, and decide what he was going to do. And the, “I’m sorry, I can’t be a party to this,” crap . . . that made me think it was definitely revenge. I don’t hate Logan all of the time, but I don’t see him playing some kind of moral card, either.
I do agree with the idea that Logan was right about the whole situation . . . I just don’t agree that it was his place to say anything.
I’ll take your word on the calculated look; I was working on something while watching that scene, so I wasn’t glued to it. And I agree that Logan playing a moral card is always Unintentional Comedy [and usually bad for the blood pressure].
In his place, I probably say the same thing, but then I can be a bit of a jackass.
