And was that striped dress pants she was wearing tight or what? It was so tight you could see the white lining of her pockets.

Reminded me of earlier times when she always wore really tight clothes. Do you think Lorelai was intentionally trying to tempt Luke? I wonder if her pants were doing it for him (or however it was he described it in season 5) on their outing and he was trying to disguise it by pretending to be annoyed with her.

For Lorelai and Luke. They. are. back.

I enjoy this episode sooooooooo much. Best one in like FOREVA. I think I enjoy this one more than last week.

There is nothing like L/L bickering about nothing. I love when Luke said he's not eating anything out of Lorelai's bag and then asked her if how long since she cleaned it out. ( I can't stop

).

Paris, the girls is so lovable cookoo.

I was so rooting for Rory and I couldn't believe how

I was for her.

"Sigh" Ranting Luke and ranting at Lorelai, Lorelai smiling at ranting Luke. Lorelai pushing Luke's button... ah good episode. Why is ranting Luke and Lorelai is so much entertaining that punning? (no... not opening a can of worms ).

Haha. I love these two.

Not to be overly analytical, but she was totally babying him with the snacks the same way Sookie was babying Jackson for his sleepover. And this worked out in the end for those two...

I thought the OTHER car's engine was being put into Lorelai's car....so its a different engine, same car.

I'll let you know if they work for me, when I watch the ep.

I bet the were working for Luke!

That should be a typo. I haven't watched the ep yet, but I'll eat my hat* if Luke's actually putting the old Jeep's engine into the new Jeep's body. It should be the other way around: engine from the new Jeep put into the old Jeep's body. Makes absolutely no sense to be putting the (presumably) dead engine into the new Jeep's body...

* - Okay, I don't actually own a hat, just a knit cap. If that doesn't do, I can volunteer to eat my scarf, though...

That's what I thought but the iamher recap and the Robin Honig's TVGuide one both said "new car, old engine" doesn't make sense to me. It would not be the same car.

Luke is so into Lorelai, can someone wack her too make her see the light!

Yeah, that's what I'm thought it was too. I think the tv guide chic got it wrong.

Gilmore Girls: It's Just Like Riding A Bike

Gilmore Girls(S07E19)

Rumors have been flying around for years that Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson don't get along really well off the Gilmore Girls set. I've always wondered how things between them might go when the cameras weren't rolling. Would they be cordial to each other? Painfully polite?

Well, I'm wondering no longer. All I had to do was watch those first awkward scenes between Luke and Lorelai in this episode, and I now I have a pretty good idea how things are between this show's stars (if those rumors are true of course).

It was great to see Lorelai make the the first move and go into Luke's. Despite Kirk's usual over-anal documentation of how and when her old counter stool became his counter stool, the scene had a satisfying feel to it, as if the writers were gluing the largest piece of a broken lamp into place. Of course, not everything could go back to normal right away, as the former couple chit-chatted about how warm it was. But that was to be expected. What was even more uncomfortable was the beginning of their car-shopping trip. I think I've had more engaging conversations with dental hygienists cleaning my teeth.

But instead of showing us where the conversation turned, we just get back from a commercial break and see the two of them arguing like it was Season Four all over again. That was refreshing. I had almost forgotten how exasperated the two of them got with each other when they were just friends, but seeing that argument brought it all back. Even Lorelai knew, as the smile she gave while Luke was lecturing her about her "feeling" about cars indicated.

Of course, that led Luke to go the extra mile, something he used to do with regularity before the break-up. Though it's too bad he arranged that "Wrangler to Wrangler transplant," though, because Lauren Graham looked so utterly adorable riding that bike.

Speaking of which... I thought last week's episode was heavy on the symbolism, but this one beat it by a country mile. When Lorelai cites the old saw "it's just like riding a bike," we all know she's not referring to that bike she got twelve years ago. Sookie also wasn't really referring to Lorelai's busted dollhouse when she told her friend, "Everything can be be fixed, huh?" By the way, the writers went a long way to get to that line, didn't they? Sookie sends Jackson to Lorelai's so he doesn't get chicken pox. Jackson has fun when out from under Sookie's jack-booted reign. He breaks Lorelai's dollhouse. He and Sookie make up. Sookie says "Everything can be fixed." My, my. I haven't seen such an elaborate lead-up like that since Frasier went off the air.

On to other matters... It was good to see Paris get significant screen time this week; Lisa Weil has been underused this season, but she's been funny whenever she was on-screen. This week was no exception. When I talked to Rich about this episode, he seemed to be skeptical that Paris would have realistically made it into all of the law and medical schools that she applied to. But I think that's completely within Paris' super-achiever character, and, as we found out, it came to bite her in the ass. Sometimes, there's just a thing as too many choices, know what I mean? It was odd, though, that she'd have a lucky letter opener or find Rory to be lucky; Paris seems like the type who would dismiss luck as a tool of the ignorant or something. At least she decided to factor Doyle into her life, or rather Doyle decided to factor himself into her life. The hard, robotic Paris needed to become a well-rounded human at some point.

Of course, Paris is always there to speak the truth to her best friend. Despite her despair over breaking up her relationship, she managed to show Rory that she's factoring in her career over her relationship with Logan. The whole thing with Rory does seem odd, though... the Rory Gilmore of a few years ago wouldn't have based all of her hopes on a single opportunity. I guess that's why the writers decided to give Paris a wealth of choices; they wanted the stark contrast to Rory's decision to put her eggs in a New York Times-wrapped basket. As we saw at the end of the episode, doing that wasn't the best way to go.

One more thing... Michel drives a Golf? You'd think that he'd at least drive a Jetta; a sedan seems more appropriate for him.

It was a pretty solid episode. The fact that Luke and Lorelai are back into their old rhythm made it a very satisfying one, as well. Like most of the good episodes this year, this deserves a 5 on our 1-7 scale. Three more episodes left. Will they be the last three ever? If so, time's getting short, isn't it?
