Gilmore Girls was very good last night. The teaser was to die for (and then VM followed up with another excellent teaser.) I am very glad that we finally have an explanation for Luke's reluctance to introduce Lorelai and April. And Paris was great.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
GG: You really want Paris on your side in a fight. April's mom crossed over into craxy land with her speech to Lorelai, IMO. Wicked over-protective/control freak
GG: You may say that about April's mom -- but that was EXACTLY Lorelai's policy so far as dating when Rory was young. She didn't start dating in front of Rory (so to speak) until Rory was in high school and her choice? Rory's English teacher. .
GG: But the line that no one should be in her life on anything less than a permanent basis? Seems like it's asking for pain. I mean, anyone can disappear for any number of reasons. I definitely think that her initial pissed-off-ness wasn't out of line, but cutting her world down to that small seems like setting her up for even more hurt when someone does disappear.
GG: I hate what this season is doing to Luke's characterization. The Luke I knew and loved before would NOT have missed Lane's wedding, and would NOT have given that utterly lame speech about how he's afraid April would like Lorelai better. Seriously, not enough eyeroll in the world.
GG: I could maybe see missing the wedding (not for anything less than April, but, yeah, it was a bit contrived. The speech to Lorelai (and the actions it induced from her) was just cringe-worthy.
I think I need a House/Wilson icon. theirloveissopure(That's not spoilery for this ep, just an observation.)
ita's Colin is on some show called Teachers (on NBC) tonight. Such a cutie. (Sorry if this has already been mentioned.)
sarameg, best wishes for your kitty. Poor leaky kitty.
Well, yeah, I was glad that they introduced a reason for Luke's hesitation but they've never shown him to be less than comfortable in his curmudeonliness before. I think that April's mom only expressed in simple words what Lorelai was actually doing when Rory was younger. (I thought it only began to hit her that she'd done this when Rory couldn't deal with Dean telling her he loved her.)
The season finale of Thief is next week? What the fuck do they think this is, England??
