Gilmore Girls 7-12: To Whom It May Concern
Feb. 1st, 2007 10:40 amFrom the forums over at TWoP:
...when she [Lorelai] saw that Emily had bought a house for L/L [Luke/Lorelai] she wasn't really against. Granted she also thought it wasn't going to happen, but she didn't get upset that Emily was trying to move her out of her beloved CS [CrapShack, what Lorelai said that she and Rory named their house, because they couldn't think of anything else]. Instead she was genuinely touched by Emily's gesture and generosity as well as listening when Emily was talking about how a man needs his own space. Plus we've seen that in L/C [Lorelai/Christopher] there isn't compromise. And we know that isn't Lorelai's strength, but she was starting to learn to compromise with Luke. Of course maybe's that cause Luke didn't just arbitrarily put her Pop-tarts back! Sorry. Remember the purple wallpaper and Lorelai telling Luke honestly that she wanted him to feel like he could do his own thing and he didn't have to always go along with her if he didn't want to.
Back to the episode at hand. I think Chris reacted to the letter as a love letter because it's the only way he knows how. It's been stated a lot that Chris is immature, and that's the truth. And Chris hasn't really ever thought of himself as a father. Even in Christopher Returns he says he wants to be "another pal for Rory." He thinks of himself as the man who loves Lorelai, and so he reacted to the letter as such. He doesn't know how to be angry at the revelation that he's a horrible dad, just a horrible significant other. And the flat screen, that's what Chris thinks is a great thing to do. Luke thinks a santa burger is a great thing to do. We know which one means more to Lorelai.
This is everything I wanted to say and what Jessica and I were silently growling about this WHOLE TIME! Good riddance, Chris! Although, I do hope Lorelai has some time by herself to figure things out and doesn't just go running to Luke. But from the previews, ( Cut for spoilers ) Ahhh...why do you suck me in, show?
In other news, Grey's Anatomy tonight! Burke proposed to Cristina! George proposed to Callie! Which will say yes (if either)? I'm hoping we get to see preparations for a Burke/Cristina wedding...so much fun Cristina planning. It'd be like Paris getting married on GG...so much fun!
