I get to comment about GG at the same time as everyone else!

Gilmore Girls 2x16, 'Bridesmaids Revisited':

I fricking love Christopher. I do. I don't know exactly why. But I always love him, even when I'm busy hating him for being a jerk (see: third season, fifth season). And I enjoy his friendship with Lorelai. So I was happy to see him. However: dude who plays Christoper, STOP CUTTING YOUR HAIR. It looks better when it's a little bit longer. Trust me on this one.

I totally called Lane getting married! Ha!

Also, having gone through five boys total with no luck, it's clearly time for some Rory/Paris femslash. For serious. (voleuse agress with me!)

In GG alum news, we discovered recently that Dave Rygalski is in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Naked Guy Marty is in the movie version of Rent. Awesome.

The Amazing Race 9, Episode 1:

Loving the hippies and the nerds. Those shrieking-harpy faux-glamazons have GOT to go. Next episode, please?

Some of the teams are taking it way too far with the matching outfits and whatnot. The pink girls? "Mojo," with "MO" on one and "JO" on the other? Ick.

The southern dentist jerk was all "I lack compassion" and waaaaaah, I would never want him for my dentist EVER! I believe I shall call him Orin and his blonde servant wife Audrey.

And the single mom and daughter are totally the Gilmore Girls. The daughter even sort of vaguely looks like a Hispanic version of Rory. I was trying out "Gilmoritas" for their name, but not sure it'll stick.

What show is the actor on? IMDB was unhelpful.

I don't want Chris and Lorelai together either. I think there's too much between them for that, but they work very well as friends. They have an awesome rapport.

I don't blame Rory for being angry. She just comes from a fundamentally different worldview than Logan, where monogamy is the standard and you don't have one-night-stands. Hell, if it had been just one girl she might've handled it okay. But that it was multiple girls, yeah, I can see where she's coming from.

And yet, Rory was raised my a single mom who clearly dated a lot (albeit not right in front of Rory). While she wouldn't approve of one-night stands, I find it tough to believe that she's unaware of stupid things you do in relationships. Lorelai is not so much with the commitment.

I find the fact that Logan and Christopher are so alike to be both very real and a bit creepy. I love Christopher, and I'm warming to Logan, but in a way Rory is dating her charming, irresponsible dad. The scene where they compared private schools they had gotten kicked out of was perfect, but a bit eye-opening, I would think.

That being said, my personal belief is that Rory has been aiming for a world somewhere between Lorelai and Emily's, and that Logan suits that balance very well. Plus, the more Christopher-y he gets, the more I'm going to like him. :-)

On your first point, absolutely, I think Rory's very aware of stupid things that people do (ie, losing your virginity to your married ex-boyfriend). What really horrified her, I think, was that Logan didn't think he'd done anything wrong. To him, it was perfectly okay to decide you were broken up and proceed to sleep with a lineup of brainless women: "I was depressed, I was lonely, I was upset. I've known these girls forever. It was just companionship. It meant nothing." He never said anything along the lines of "I shouldn't have done it" or "It was a mistake." Which is pretty much 180 degrees from how Rory sees things.

I had noted the similarities between Christopher and Logan, but hadn't really put it together in the sense of "Wow, Rory's dating her dad." It makes total sense, though, as you say-- real, but kinda creepy. Hopefully Logan can make good, like Christopher finally did. (Although he's clearly still learning, too. Gigi is a monster!)
