I posted this on the BB thread but since you want to hear other opinions on this thread...

I've seen the episode too. First of all, I really liked it, I mean I

it. One of my favourite episodes ever and this not only because of LC. I enjoyed Zack, Mrs. Kim and even Rory too.

There were some nice LC scenes in Paris. I really enjoyed the arriving (Fight the jetlag. Jetlag is strong!

), the bed scenes and the restaurant scene was one of the sweetest scene on the show ever.

But there was something, I can't describe it exactly, that felt wrong, I mean besides the fact that the wedding was too fast. Lorelai wasn't sure about the wedding and she's right. Being in a relationship or getting married and living together are two different issues. Lorelai and Chris knew each other for 25 years but they didn't live together and they're a couple only for a few month.

I'm happy that they married but the circumstances and the time is not right IMO. We should see the wedding and at least Rory should attend it. And Lorelai should be 100% sure about her relationship and the wedding but she wasn't sure and there were some tiny little moments at the restaurant in which I thought, mhm she acts weird. Like that she didn't look into Chris' eyes sometimes, that's a sign of unsureness. And of course the end was weird at all since they deleted some important scenes like the "I don't want to wait either" scene. I think she really meant the ILYs but isn’t it weird that she said it three times this episode but couldn’t say it more than two times during her long relationship with Luke. Okay, I’m sure we haven’t seen some ILYs but still…

I loved the talks about what Lorelai and Chris had planned for their Paris trip when they were 16. It showed that LC know each other for so long and that no matter what happened in their lives (engagement, marriages, kids) they never lost each other. But it also showed something else IMO. Lorelai and Chris may not forget to live in the present. I mean it's like when you meet old friends from school. You talk to them and for a short time the old days are coming back and you're having a great time. But when you try to renew the friendship you figure out it doesn't work cause your lives and interests are different now. And that's what can happen with Lorelai and Chris. Back in real life they’ll soon figure out how hard you’ve to work to make a marriage successful. And let’s face it. With Lorelai being unsure and defiant (she still acts like a teen IMO cause she does things but doesn’t think about the consequences) I can see that Lorelai maybe will backslide in her old behaviour of the last season to stay silent when it’s important to speak. But I still can’t see how this marriage can end in such a short time unless it’s not legal.

So the ratings have fallen, right?
