I agree that Lorelai was overly dramatic, but I don't really see why Luke was so mad at her. He didn't seem that mad when she initially told him that she had spent some time with Christopher (which as far as I can tell was the only thing she did that was "wrong"). Everything else that happened was either Christopher or Lorelai's mom's doing. I understand that both Christopher and the mom are part of the "package of Lorelai" but it seems a little unfair to take it all out on her.

P.S. I really hope they stay together.

Well, the main thing she did wrong was not tell him about it sooner. He is just getting adjusted to the fact that she spent the night with Christopher, and then Christopher is confronting them both, and then Rory is about to do it with some strange guy, and then it is exacerbated by the revelation that Emily was behind it all. It is a lot to take in. And that was Luke's response to Lorelai: he isn't sure he can handle it all.

Yeah. I guess I thought his response was a little overly dramatic in its own way too. He could have at least spoken to her briefly and explained what he was going through so that she wasn't just freaking out all the time.

As far as Rory goes, I'm not so into Logan. She could TOTALLY do better.

How are you not going to fall for a guy who holds your hand while you jump off a ledge with only an umbrella? I found that whole SKULLS story annoying, and Logan outside of the SKULLS club isn't any more entertaining. He's not really different from the Tristan character (heart-throb Chad Michael Murray, now of TV's "One Tree Hill") she rejected in high school, only slightly less obnoxious and thicker. Well, Logan's obnoxious too, just in a Vince Vaughn in Swingers type of way, instead of a high school pretty boy (Spader in Pretty in Pink? I don't know) type of way.

I agree that Lorelai should have told him, and was really sad and dramatic afterwards, Luke did the same thing. "I need time" is such a cop out. At least let her explain. I need time, is such a pity party, and quite assholish.

He could have made it clear that he was just unsure he could handle all that came with her, and not make it seem like he was blaming her.

What is there to explain? When they finally confronted each other, if anything, Luke was doing the explaining. Remember when Lorelai finally got her explanation out, and she claimed she was cutting ties with both Emily and Christopher? She even looked like she believed it. It was Luke who understood that was all part of the package. While maybe Luke could have started a dialog instead of avoiding her for a day and letting the dialog turn into a confrontation, but it's stupid to shift the blame to him. It is Lorelai's family, Lorelai's ex, Lorelai's secret.

He is the one leaving, she told him many times what her family was like, and it wasn't like he went into the situation blind. They have known each other for a very long time. If he is too much of a pussy to take it, he at least should have the balls to not blame her and make it seem like it was her fault. If he can't handle her situation, fine. But he knew going in, and she did nothing major wrong. He was taking the easy route and blaming her and making it seem like it was her fault.

As for her being full of self pitty when she turns Luke away, I totally disagree. She, for the first time, realized that she shoudl do the right thing. She shouldn't try and make him do anything that he wasn't ready for. She felt bad that she had gotten him to come over, and that it was selfish of her to. What you call self-pitty, I call trying to do the right thing and think of someone besides herself.
