Hey, have we heard from Jeff lately? How's he doing?

I was also made twitchy by the seeds they planted for Luke and Lorelai's next fallout -- is he good enough (cue the return of the babyfather) and should he buy the house and prep for a family (will he tell her first, or will it be an expensive surprise?). But I didn't watch much previous to this season, so I don't know if it's in character.

And the thing with Dean was weird, too: Lorelei's been in Star's Hollow for what, 20 years? Rory may want bigger and better things, but Lorelei? Is Dean really that stupid? I really hope they're not actually meaning that as any kind of foreshadowing or cause for insecurity for Luke, cause... not.

The first part of that is not only in character for this season, it's a dead horse.

GG - all the stuff that stupidhead Dean was saying to Luke made NO SENSE to me. Lorelai loves Stars Hollow and has chosen to make it her home. Christopher has never shown that he is in any way "better" except that he comes from a family with money.

The buying the house stuff as something he is doing FOR her seems odd and out of character to me. BUT, I can totally see that he has wanted this house for years and has pictured it being the house he would have a family in, nothing connected to his relationship with Lorelai, and I can see her not being able to see the differences and folks like nosy Mr. Busybody mayor guy making it all worse.

But Tom, I haven't seen him believe it this season. That's why I wondered.

Still, he looks good in that shirt.

I find Alex and Lynn to be pretty assy, so I was pleased they were gone. Gretchen really bugged me at the beginning, but they crack me UP- they aren't warm and fuzzy oldsters. they are cranky and funny and snappish and I think pretty tough. (I have no idea why I whitefonted that last bit, oh well). I find the teams in the end stretch, so much more palatable than the last go-around. It's SO much more fun to watch. Also, I love me some Boston Rob, so it's fun on that level as well. I totally heart Joyce & Uchenna. Also, they are both Teh Hott.

GG last night was curiously flat. The whole Paris thing was frankly watch-from-the-hall moment for me. WTF? And the hints at L/L fallout seemed heavy-handed to the extreme. As for the Logan/Rory bit... well, color me unsurprised.

Veronica Mars, on the other hand, continues to rock my world in all the best ways. It's my favorite thing on TV right now, and it kills me that so few people are watching. Although, second season, yay!

Is Dean really that stupid?

I'd have to say yes. I need him to be gone from the show, like, months ago.

Still, he looks good in that shirt.

Luke looks good, period.
