Lorelai pursuing Luke is all female empowerment and stuff, but it's just doesn't float my romantic boat. Also, it emasculates Luke, imo. IRL, Luke probably would be friends with Lorelai, but never consider a relationship with her in a million years. To me, Luke making the final decision on whether they will be back together shows his strength, and I think it has to be him mking the final decision, due to Lorelai going to Chris. I don't want to see Luke sitting around waiting on Lorelai to ask him out. YMMV.
However, I know that guys can be clueless and need some encouragement. I see Lorelai offering that encouragement. Also, Luke overhears her denying her feelings. She might be trying to avoid the busybodies. I'm guessing she comes clean, because that is one thing I would hate, seeing her denying her feelings. I want her to be strong enough to be honest. I do think she must give Luke some encouragement, or he wouldn't be planning the party.
I loved the DC, because it was so funny and well acted, besides being very realistic. I didn't care as much for the car shopping scene. I didn't like the evil look in Lorelai's eye at the end. It looked kind of mean, as if she didn't really care for Luke. I know I'm in the minority on this one, lol. | I agree I'd like to see Luke make the final decision about getting back together. I'm wondering if part of Lorelai's embarassment about the singing stems from Luke's reaction. I can see him being overwhelmed, especially in front of a crowd, and making a quick escape to "process" before any discussion. Then when he hears her deny it meant anything, he won't bring it up. It will probably be up to Lorelai to bring it up with him and explain how she really feels, a la the telephone scene in SGTDM. I agree with whoever speculated that maybe the kiss happens before the singing (even at the end of ep 19?) but one or both aren't sure/in denial/too scared/etc.
I agree about the evil look in Lorelai's eye in the car shopping scene, but figure I'll wait to see if it seems like Luke deserved it. After all, he's so totally wrong--I bought my last car based on a "feeling" and it worked out very well. |
