Interesting calm before the storm! It seems as if Lorelai's winding up for the mother of all meltdowns, and I'm wondering what specific thing pushes her over the edge. Debbie does seems a little too perfect, and I'm not sure I'm buying her outgoing, friendly innocence - as a businesswoman, she's probably adept at sizing up situations quickly, and too worldly to be so oblivious. So I can't decide if she really is just caught up in the whirlwind of revisiting her childhood, or if she's trying to recapture something she lost 23 years ago. We know she's at a crossroad in her life, and there's a definite vibe coming across - almost like she's marking her territory, as if to say "this was my town first". Then again, we haven't seen anything from Debbie's POV to back that up, so I might be barking up the wrong tree. There's something intrusive about her actions though.

"this was my town first"

Very interesting point of view. This would also mean that Debbie sees Lorelai as a threat? Maybe she did in fact come back to recapture her teen years... and found that her bubbly personality alone can't win the town back (although, seems she has) because there's another woman the town very dearly loves. That Luke loves...

It's a possibility. Why was she afraid to go back to Stars Hollow until now? I have to believe there's a little bit more to her visit than just a trip down memory lane, and she had to wonder about Luke when she was planning it. Maybe as teens, she and Luke had a mutual attraction but she was too young - and that night when she sneaked out to see him, she promised to come back...only she never did. Welcome to this week's edition of As The Soap Bubbles. lol

"this was my town first" lol i love that.

Reminds me of "High Noon at the Town Square". Or how about "Food Fight at the Soda Shoppe"?

"this was my town first"

huh, i never looked at it like that..interesting...

liked segment three :D FINALLY she snapped..seems that it's only her hormones for now, nothing really happened, she was ticked off cause she thinks Debbie has a hold on everyone in SH lol...in some way that is true, Sookie called her 'our' Debbie..at the same time it's ridiculous, townies, Rory, Sookie, Luke, everyone loves her the same..noone is neglecting her..but you know how pregnant women react on these kind of things, and well Lorelai doesn't like 'competition'..

northtoalaska March 23 2008, 22:12:34 UTC

Poor Lorelai. Why did Luke get so ticked off though - you'd think he'd be used to those hormonal swings by now...unless there's a modicum of truth to what Lorelai said. Hmmm.

audirox March 23 2008, 23:44:01 UTC

Well, I put myself into each character as I write them (as most writers, I imagine - though I'm not a "writer"), and this is what I came up with...

I think Luke probably felt insulted that she made it an issue, knowing full well that his loyalty lies with Lorelai and none other. In previous episodes (the past couple especially), it's clear that Luke did everything and anything Lorelai asked of him and if it were me, I would've probably cracked by the time she changed her order multiple times. This may have been a good release for him as well.

Hormonal swings that make you want to re-paint your house 50 times is one thing, and hormonal swings that make you jump to conclusions regarding your husband and a childhood (female) friend... is a whole other thing. Or at least, I think so.

northtoalaska March 24 2008, 16:19:49 UTC

OK, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

northtoalaska March 24 2008, 20:41:14 UTC

Well, I'm not sure that it is just to do with hormones. I mean you are the author and if you say it is, then it has to be, but I think that Lorelai would have reacted the same way even if she weren't pregnant. I've never really thought of her as a jealous person when I think of "Lorelai," but I could probably come up with some instances where her jealous side comes out. I guess I just don't feel like her reaction would be much different if she didn't have all these raging hormones inside her. It may have something to do with it, but I probably would have reacted similarly in a situation where my husband (not that I'm married) had such a close bond with another woman. Lorelai might also feel like Luke should have told her about Debbie or at least her brother. Wives should know more about their husbands' pasts. The jealousy may be partly from hormones, but I think any wife would feel at least a little in the dark if an unknown woman showed up and knew SO much. Just another perspective... Sorry if this was really redundant. I just ( ... )
