lorelai & luke (474)

[@pretty4princess]

Considering what they went through when April came along in s6, this is such a sweet scene - all of them eating together like a family ❤️

[@Meanie74]

I really hated that plot line prob bc Amy didn’t write it. Like him not telling Lorelei about her when we know Lorelei would have reacted just fine. Or him not letting Lorelei ever talk to April. Like I get that at first but come on that’s just like a fake thing the new writers put in to manufacture drama. Half of the April drama was just Luke being dumber than usual for bad reasons. We know he could have just talked this out with Lorelei and then the drama could have come from April’s mom, but nope whoever ran the show at that point thought nah let’s make luke and Lorelei break up again for the 3rd time. That’s not overdone or anything.

[@heavenlygal101]

@@Meanie74 That story line, arc was in season 6, when Amy and Dan were still very much a part of the series. And, Amy also wrote the moment that made me want to throw out my TV---When Lorelai went to Chris, after giving Luke an ultimatum. We just don't know how she, Amy, would have done next?

April is like, my favourite character. She's what Rory was supposed to be, but a little more eccentric. It's not her fault the writers used her as artificial conflict for Luke and Lorelai in the later seasons.

[@OoOMonkeyCoFreakOoO]

That’s what happens when they set her up in a relationship season one so later her relationships become who she is, really disappointing. I wish we had a teen Rory who decided not to date Dean or anyone just for character development. Rory and Paris had enough chemistry in early seasons that more scenes within her high school can be shown.

Yeah but having nearly blown it with lorelai the first time April came into his life, don't you think he would make sure he wouldn't behave the same way. Lorelai is more or less April's stepmother here. Her solution to April's dilemma was quite sensible. But luke was pretty dismissive of it.

I always wanted April and Rory to become friends. I know I'm probably not in the majority here, but I would have LOVED to have seen the two of them with their own sister plotline through the revival.

What an odd suggestion that she should say April should get a part time job. Rory didn’t get a scholarship and her tuition was paid by her wealthy grandparents then her wealthy father. The only time Rory had to lift a finger was during community service and working for the DAR which is unpaid. Lorelai is lucky Luke isn’t petty because I would of let that snob have it.

I don't think she's being snobby about it, I think she's just pointing out the facts. MIT probably costs a fortune and when you don't have wealthy grandparents to pay for it, the money has to come from somewhere. Rory also wasn't given any scholarship because of the money Richard gave her from the investment. Yale thought they had way more money than they did so they didn't qualify for anything.

Whoa whoa whoa. Michelle is amazing as Dawn. People hate on Dawn because they find her an annoying 14-year old girl. You know who is annoying? Actual 14-year old girls.

Dawn gets a lot of flack thrown at her (some deserved), but overall the character was a good move for the show to make and Michelle did a phenomenal job with the character.

April is a great foil character, they have Paris, Jess, Rory, and April, all intelligent young people with different and realistic personalities and a varied array of social skills, the show failed her because it used her subplot to try to draw out the "Will they, won't they" BS that the writers falsely believed was essential to drive the story along when the real energy the show fed off of was the interactions between the characters.
