| Blaab, I agree that Lorelai is honestly trying with Chris, which is almost the problem, she's trying to please him and her parents and the kids, almost as though she's given up on her being happy, might as well do something that pleases everyone else. From the day they got back in SH she's being petting his arm, pleading with him, trying to set up a social life for him, placating him, is that a marriage? Is that a relationship? Anytime she's tried to have a say she's been shot down (notice the TV, the vow renewals) she's given in on everything but the house. But I do think it's unfare to judge her relationship with Luke by how it ended. If it ends it's going be lousy, that's a given. They both made mistakes, they both are suffering the consequences, it doesn't mean it wasn't great for a long while and couldn't be great again. Whereas, she has the whole deal with Chris and it's not happy anyway. Trying as she is, is she one bit happier then last season? Does she have a way more trusting and considerate partner? Her parents love Chris, Rory's on board, Sookie and Jackson are on board, Chris is being given every opportunity to be the one and he's not doing it. And, bottom line, it's just not healthy or normal to go so quickly from one relationship to the other and Chris should have been mature enough to wait. Not only did he not wait, he now blames her for the obvious - he is a second choice, how could he not be so soon after Luke? "I don't want to be your rebound." well, bit late fellah. As usual, Luke doesn't matter, Lorelia's to blame and Chris gets a walk. There's none of the problems like with April and Anna getting in Lorelai and Chris's way and they're still having problems. It says to me that there just isn't the love there. |
