The Real Paul Anka

For the start of the episode and the episode's name sake, we have the "real and doggie Paul Anka" dream sequence of Lorelai's. This dream was strange, out-of-the-blue and too much like Kirk's home-made video from season two. Now, if it was Kirk's dream, then it would have fitted into the show a little better. However, with that said, the dream sequence had a sighing-laugh moment to it that was great to have after last week's filler episode, but don't get me started on that episode.

Now, I'd like to dive right in on the Rory part, but let's leave that til the last. I'll need to leave my brain free for that. So the episode overall had a great punch to it, especially the Lorelai/Luke goodbye after the opening credits. Luke was so unaware and oblivious to Lorelai's outburst. I have to say that the bag beating was great and so...I mean so...deserved. 'Bout time Lor! Because I've been going crazy with the "I'm trying to be supportive" kick. Your a woman and a fiance. Hello! That equals some defensive behavior with a dose of obsession added in. But what irked me even more was that Luke still didn't get the hint after she force feed the truck Luke's suitcase. I'm completely frustrated with him right now...well, actually I have been for awhile...and I think that hate is starting to boarder the edge of my Luke parade. But the scene with Ceasar and Kirk at the dinner helped thwart it for awhile. Having Kirk in an apron reminded me of his spontaneous job at the Dragon Fly, which was a great GG recollection.

I'll skip over the field trip portion of the episode and jump to the Luke and Jess reunion. It felt very much like the last episode Luke and Jess had together...it was comfortable and cute. I'm glad that Jess has been grateful for Luke's attempted help, and the check was a great step to show for that, though I felt uneasy with Luke taking it. I mean my parents raised me, and I hope that they don't want any refunds because they'd break me. But it was a great exchange. Jess needed to do it and I'm glad that A S-P has decided to up-grade his character because he deserves it.

Okay. It's time for the Rory bashing. I know, I know. Rory's a good little girl. Yeah, right. Lately she's taken a trip to bizarre world with a one way ticket. But with that said, I loved...LOVED...the fact that Rory was so...how should I say this...hmmm...evil. Well, I guess mean and unpleasant would do, but oh, well. She has been giving Logan the cold shoulder since the end of the last episode, but she hasn't left bizarre world which is evident when she stood up for him after kissing Jess. The kiss was so great and the moments before it were so S2: Rory and Jess. They both seemed cozy...happy. And it was great when Jess asked if Rory had everything fixed. I was screaming "LIAR," when she said yes. Does she think being with Logan is right? Guess so because she pulled back and said that she loved Logan which I have to say had me wanting to gag. How could she lead Jess on and kiss him, then jerk back. Man, am I so mad. Yes, Logan needs to be treated with the same consideration that he bestowed on Rory, but Jess didn't deserve to be the one she'd picked if she had the guts to pull it off. I'd rather her sleep with Finn...it's the exotic thing. LOL!

I don't even know what else to say right now, other than this episode was a step up from the last eppie. What did you think? Let's get down to the love/hate emotions. What conclusions did you come to on Rory's end? Is Lorelai stepping up to her old self? Is Luke still nose-diving? What ideas do you have about Lane's dress? Come on don't be shy.
