Yeah, so the episode was urgh...fan-frakking-tastic!! There needs to be no introduction...so I'm not giving one.
Chris:
It begins and ends with Christopher...always has, always will in my personal opinion. He's rejected at the door only to be let in at the end of the episode, which I have to tell you that it thrills me beyond happiness, not that I wasn't happy for them just dating. He was certainly looking fine and yummy with his shirt on. The whole time during the episode I was cringing with ecstacy at the chemistry that David brings to the show and draws out of Lauren. God, they were on fire last night. Plus, his romantic gesture was brillant, even if I expected a little more surprise. And at the end of the episode, Chris made me melt all over again. His reaction to Lorelai's "nice" response and giddiness over Emily's jail time was well played. He felt second place. I get that and felt that maybe Lorelai was putting him second place. But all was washed away when she told him he wasn't. The trip to the jail was just "the cherry on top," "the mint on the pillow."
Lorelai-Extra Happy:
Well, they did give Lorelai a very nice episode. She kicked dialogue in all the scenes she played in and took charge of the repetitive quips..."snakes on a plane" and "is this/that the surprise." It made the episode highly enjoyable. It was the first in a long time that made me extra happy. Plus, I love how the writers have always added in the opinions of what's happening in this season. Like in last night's episode, Sookie was the voice of the people. Sookie gave Lorelai the left hook about her dating Chris. Chris is no rebound, no bouncing ball. He's a bowling ball, the father of her kid. And with Sookie dishing out this dialogue, I feel very happy and confident that the road Lorelai will take this season will be one far different from any she has taken in the past, especially with Chris. There is something substantial here, and I can't wait to see were it's going.
Side Notes:
* Loved that
Casablanca was mentioned. It's one of my favorites.
* Rory was in her element this episode. She had no boy to toy with, except at the end where she brushed him off...yahoo!
* Rory's friends were...ummm...okay. The actress who formerly played Gia Goodman on
Veronica Mars was the only one holding me back from Rory making new friends. She's like the voice of Janice from
Friends...and who wants that?
* Emily in jail. Priceless!
* I just knew that Lorelai would be taking pictures, when she picked Emily up from jail. I was giggling the whole time. It was definitely a night...or episode I'll never forget.
* I'm still waiting to see what will happen to Richard. At the moment, his role is minor and seems to be going no where, which means that the shoe's about to drop.
* Luke and April were cute together, though the whole "setup" was getting annoying.
Favorite Quote/Moment:
Chris's line to Lorelai when she asks if buckling the seatbelt is the surprise -- Yep. That's the surprise. Date's over.
Next Week: Things look juicy. Guess my dum-dum-da-dum

P.S. Sorry for the short post. School work. It stinks.
