| Quote: | Also, on this, S3 is full of regrets, anger & angst on Lorelai's part over broken promises of a single night with Chris. She thought they were finally getting their "chance" and then he finds out Sherry's pregnant. From LGCD, 3.01, & HL, 3.02, to TtDE, 3.06, all the way to DEAR, 3.13. Lorelai's romantic storyline all through most of S3 is about her regrets over the loss of her chance with Chris. You don't hang onto the hope for a chance and then so fully jump at it that you're that worked over without deeply loving someone.
To talk about how Lorelai feels about Chris you can't just talk about S5 forward, it's the entire canon of the show. She loves both men a great deal. And the only reason she could move on so quickly with Chris, after Luke, is because of how much she's always loved him, no matter if it's something she's going to run off and give into at that moment. | No, that's just my point. She didn't know how deeply she could love someone until she began her relationship with Luke. Sure, there were regrets in season 3 regarding Christopher, but that goes along with the he-gives-her-the-whole-package part of their love. It's more important to look at how she viewed Christopher after she began a relationship with Luke -- because if she was able to put Christopher behind her when she was with Luke, which she was, what else does it matter?
She flew into this new marraige because, yes, there is a love between CL and always has been, but I don't think it's something she would have ever substantially wondered about had she and Luke not split up. I truly believe that she believed Luke was the one -- and when it didn't work out, she went back to the person who, pre-Luke, she thought might be able to be that one. But he's not.
ETA: Thanks Eva for all the info and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! __________________ When you figure out love is all that matters after all
