this might not go with the concersation but I could totally L/L getting married in the town square. I need them to get married before the show ends or i will die

FYI, attempts to lighten the mood and snarky humour are always appreaciated by me. I could whip up a few limericks if I have to, but they might offend some of you lol.

That or your display settings changed. I have it on 1280*1024.

This is basic, but maybe go into the control panel, and the display settings, and play around aa little. Also have you updated anything lately. One of our computers at work changed the display when the IT people updated it. And if all else fails, shut everything down, and restart (my solution for every computer problem!) Sometimes it works!

actually i was the one talking about the psychological bus. I think that before this season there was a heck of a lot more sympathy for lorelai. But, partings and the chris marriage changed that for a lot of people. Those who were once fervant lorelai defenders could no longer bring themselves to defend the character.

Frankly, I find that I have more sympathy for lorelai in the second half of this season than I had for her in the second of season 6. Now, thats what I call ironic. As for agreeing people on this thread haven't not since season 5. For nearly a year there was that stupidity with the Zen Cruiser.

Oh sorry for the mix up Genki! But sympathy changing and all that? I don't see the relation to the psychological bus ... even if I would have no sympathy for a character that still doesn't mean that character is not tossed under that bus, it might bother me less ... but the tossing would still occur. I have sympathy for both of them. Both of them I feel were never out to hurt each other, but yeah did end up doing that because of despair, being scared, ill-equiped, hurt and all. Never out of spite or something.

I won't die if I don't see it. I've been imagining the teaser of 8.01 picking up with Luke and Lorelai returning from that summer boat trip, and Luke saying "Welcome home, Mrs Danes".

No offense, but Lorelai has rarely been thrown over the psychological bus. At the end of the day, the writers sympathy rolls right back around to her. We are given insight to her emotions, her state of mind. We begin to understand why she does what she does. Maybe because she is one of the lead characters but I don't buy that. I have seen many a show that have given depth and insight into characters that might normally be considered minor and fleshed them out. I think luke has been one thats always been given a sort of mystery. We don't really know all that much about him. We seem him through lorelai's eyes. But, somehow during that road the writers forget that they did show us a little about him. We as an audience learned to love luke if not as much as lorelai pretty darn close. I think lorelai and luke could have worked through their issues if their had been no running to chris. But to me its far greater than that. Yes, luke has to prove some things to lorelai but its not out of the ordinary. Regular couples go through that sort of thing everyday. I hate to generalize but sometimes men are just dumb. They tend to compartmentalize to their own detriment. Yes, luke will have to prove that he is over that and has changed. But, by marrying someone in such a short period of time lorelai makes it look like that she never cared about him although we as an audience know it not to be true. A couple can move beyond one person shutting the other out because thats about coping skills and communication. But, when one does something that makes it look like the whole duration of the relationship was no more than biding time while the right guy was ready than its that person that has to explain how thats not the case. We talk about actions speaking louder than words. Luke's actions made it look like he couldn't handle being married to lorelai, but lorelai's actions said "I NEVER LOVED YOU"

So, now its up to both of them to show the other that neither of these things are true.

I simply cannot equate luke's shutting lorelai out to what she did. If she wanted to move on fine. There's moving on and there's doing what she did.

If there is to be a wedding for LL, I would like for it to be on screen. They have both had weddings/elopements behind the scene - and I would like to think that the on screen wedding/elopement was left for us (the viewers) to see. But then again, I have to remind myself that the writers don't care and we are usually the ones that are screwed. Back to my point, if there's an LL wedding/marriage - I'd like to see it as opposed to hearing about it later.

The more I think about it the more I think Lorel ai should have fallen into bed with someone other than Chris at the end pf partings. Jason or Max heck even ALEX ( the guy who like to fish very short romance..) would have made more sense. Especially Max since she almost married him ...
