7.10 Merry Fisticuffs

Lorelai dreads each day that she meets with her mom and a prominent party planner in anticipation of the upcoming wedding party. Meanwhile, Lorelai and Christopher can't seem to agree on plans for their future, and she usually gets her way; Logan is in town and Rory takes him to the Yale cafeteria, where they run into Marty, and Rory explains the whole awkward reunion she had with Marty and their subsequent deception with Lucy; and Luke decides to talk to a lawyer about April.

I'm excited for the Logan/Rory/Marty met up. I wonder what Marty will say about Rory still dating Logan. Marty doesn't know she is still dating Logan does he?

From the previews,it looks like their is going to be a Chris/Luke fight.I can't wait to watch that.

I assume Marty knows. He could've heard it from Olivia or Lucy.

I'm interested to see the C/L fight too.

OK, so that thing with Marty and Rory not admitting they knew each other isn't the greatest storyline. What's the big deal, I don't understand. And Logan got jealous for no reason when he found out, and behave pretty stupidly at that dinner...And I understand Lucy being upset because Rory and Marty lied, but it really isn't that big of a deal IMO. Why not let them explain things at least? I felt sorry for Rory.

And the C/L relationship is really annoying me. And that fight between Luke and Chris was kinda ridiculous. Was it supposed to be funny or serious?

The only thing in this ep that I liked was Emily's speech in the end.

This ep kinda annoyed me. I love this show, and I really hope it gets better real soon!

THe Chris Luke fight was just pplain old stupid .I did not understand it at all. It annoyed me.

Emily's speech was great She did a great job.

The whole Lucy/Marty/Rory this was to played out. As you said madelen,it really wasn't a big deal. I did hate how Logan acted though. He overreacted way to much,worse that jealous Rory.

I agree Madelen,this was an annoying episode. I don't like this season. I feel like i am forced to watch it not because I want to.

If you look at it in terms of Chris and Luke manifestering their latent love for each other via a wrestling match it all makes perfect sense. Think they might hook up once Chris and Lorelai split? It's the only theory I can come up with that doesn't make the fight lame and pointless.

madelen

I've felt a bit like that too this season. The earlier eps were OK, and I even liked some of them, but lately the show has just taken a turn for the worse.

Raja I almost prefer the idea of Luke and Chris together, over Lorelai and Chris.

Ooh, I think this episode killed me... I love Rory/Logan moments and then they go and kill my joy with a bitching fight like that. Grrr. I want more Alexis/Lauren scenes cause the mother/daughter action is always fun... direct action, I mean, not these stupid lame-ass phonechats! *bitchy*

And, also, I'm a bit annoyed by Lucy's behaviour, in a way. I mean why is she so upset? Ok, fine I get it... but honestly, if I were her I'd be pulling Rory's hair and bitchslapping Marty all the while asking (see, not hiding) WHY they kept it as a secret instead of being so damn angry (and sad?) about the fact they did... if that makes sense *shrugs*

I miss Rory's pink hair *sniff* that was the only good thing Rory's new friends have brought, seriously. *misses Paris and Doyle hip hop dancing* Bitter? Me? Naaaah.

... sigh. I hated the way Marty had to go and pretend he didn't know Rory and so I'm glad it came out (maybe we even got rid of Lucy and Marty all together, YAY) - it was stupid and childish, seriously. But I have to say, I've enjoyed those moments anyhow, because Alexis is great with uncomfortable moments. The way she acts - she makes me feel as uncomfortable as she is and she really DOES look uncomfortable too, which is something we can't say for every actress out there. Yep, she's great actress *nods*

(Oh, btw, I've started writing these weird episode reviews that basically list stuff I liked/didn't like about an episode, in case you're interested )

madelen

Savy I'd love to see more moments between Alexis and Lauren too. I understand that with Rory being over at Yale, realistically, they don't have much time to spend together. But still, Rory/Lorelai moments are one of the best things about this show - we need their interaction!

And I agree, Alexis acts the uncomfortable parts really well.

savysavestheday

Yeah, the show IS called Gilmore GIRLS after all... *sighs* Oh well, things could be worse. Rory could be at Harvard, heh.

madelen

True.

I loved this ep because everyone was fighting. Logan was being honest about Marty. It may have come out wrong, but he was being honest.
