Sandilyn re the room 1. L/C eloped, they did not let Rory know in advance that they were getting married and living in the Star's Hollow house, therefor Rory never had a chance to say'Oh, I guess Gigi will need my room, I'll move out my stuff." 2. it was upsetting, obviously, to Lorelai to see Chris just pushing Rory's things aside as she has a lot of good memories of that room so 3. Chris was being insensitive which has led to a lot of the current Chris/Rory discussion on this board. Wether it was intended or not, it really looked like he was saying, the heck with daughter 1, I'm all about daughter 2. And yes, I would expect them to have weekly dinners, not on screen, please as we've had way more then enoughof Chris as it is, but in passing comment. Why shouldn't Chris make an effort to see Rory? And if she's busy, it's his job as the parent, to try harder and accomodate her. I think that's the whole basic issue here, he's never been the grown up or the parent, he's never put himself out for her. Wether or not he and Lorelai stay together, it's time he did.

She's not in the room anymore and Lorelai asked her if it was okay. I don't understand why everyone feels that Rory's room should never be touched, even if she never comes back to it again. I'm sure she's not going to end her relationship with her father because he wanted her sister to have a place to sleep. (Let's leave aside the fact that L&C are now going to be looking for another house anyway.)



But, what are you expecting? For them to have a weekly dinner and for us to see that every week? What are you expecting once she graduates and moves heaven knows where, let alone the time she has to spare during the rest of this school year? Once she graduates and moves away, she's going to be communicating with *everyone* via emails and phonecalls -- Lorelai, Chris, Emily & Richard, you name it. I'm trying to figure out what you expect to see on screen between an adult child and her parent, when one actor won't even be on the show for more than a few episodes to prove that they have a relationship, despite her mother's issues with him. You know what's the real conundrum? People want to see more than they want to see, i.e., they want to see Chris gone but they also want to see -- before their eyes -- a healthy relationship between father and daughter despite the fact that these two characters are off on different paths and, literally, won't even be on set shooting.

lancer1993--I may be wrong, but I always got the impression that when Christopher asked, at dinner, or rather, suggested, and Lorelai turned him down, that was it (for then). Then later, as they're walking, and it started to rain all prettiesh like, and then they saw the church-- and it seemed tobe "fate" to Lorelai. So he must have suggested it again, and she agreed. I don't think they sought it out. Maybe Christopher did. But I don't think Lorelai was mulling it over, or looking for a church. Or maybe, I'm just supposed to see it this way, because taht's the way Rory was intended to see it too--- so she'd feel less left out. Maybe he just convinced her right there, at dinner, and then they sought out for a church... I guess we won't know. I just didn't think it happened that way, because of how lorelai explained it.

ITA Scott and David (Just like Lauren) are probably having a ball this year and the fight would be no different, I'm begging that DSR puts the behind the scenes for that on the DVD, please please please!

Maybe we won't see them fighting, we'll just see Chris giving in trying to make Lorelai happy. And then the one thing he thinks is a good idea (the vows thing)-- she just shoots down. Like she isn't trying at all. I thought there was gonna be a fight, but I guess there doesn't have to be, it still works. I feel bad for Chris. :S No one deserves someone doing the bare minimum in a relationship with them.

So why is Chris in such a "great" mood at the vows thing, he gives in to her and he has the problem?

They obviously talk about kids too sometimes, and the LL scene, I think he's more pissed about that than anything.
