| Liked a lot about last night's episode, proof of my belief that to gain back what it lost the show has to have Lorelai in SH. I wonder if, seeing all the great characters and talent amongst the townspeople, if the writer's had a "Gadzooks, what a gold mine there is here, why have we been playing it down all season?" moment. Loved Zack singing and everything about the shower, especially Lorelai shining as the peacemaker between Lane and Mrs. Kim, and Lorelai and Sookie talking.
The only flaw was I just don't believe the Logan business disaster stuff. For something that big they have given it too little attention. It was everything's great one minute, then one very brief phone call from the staff in London, and then everything's a mess. Apparently "weeks" have passed since Logan's birthday and Chris moved out, and during this time Logan lost everything and Rory had no clue. It just seems fake and lacking in drama, even Rory and Logan discussed it in a rushed perfunctory way, as though the writer's only had the sketchiest of ideas about how this could happen and so went over it really fast.
The other question I have is re Luke's remark at the end about how "things change", couldn't tell from his and Lorelai's expressions how we are to read this. Does it mean he's given up the boat and a lot of his closed off clinging to his past ways and is willing to be a better romantic partner? Or does it mean he's given up his dream of finishing his Dad's boat and the dream of finally being with Lorelai? |
