The above posts of Katie and Katie (I’m not exactly sure if you’re one person or two):

I know it’s been ages since you wrote your comments, but I just again stumbled upon this article and responses in my bookmarks tonight. I don’t believe I ever saw what you 2 wrote! I felt I just had to comment. I so agree with your insightful and perceptive feelings about Chris and Lor! These two are so totally right for each other and suit each other amazingly! I hate how they have now kicked dirt all over the C/L bond in the show! Their break-up was stupid and out of the blue. There were no proper reasons given, just a major decree by Lor that she and Chris were nothing more than a” fantasy”! It was ridiculous and insulting, and totally belies the wonderful rapport and connection C/L had for the entire run of the show before that! It was a kick is the teeth to everyone who saw the depth, and greatness of the C/L love story! With Lorelai’s idiotic statement about she and Chris not being right together, all the beauty of their connection was unfairly and appallingly dismantled! As a true shipper of the wonderful duo, I was disgusted! It’s a good thing we had eps like “S’Wonderful, S’Marvelous”, that showed the truth of the compatibility and harmonious nature of C/L. Their love was something profound and spectacular. If the show had any depth left, C/L would still be blissful and their bond forever remaining unbreakable!

I hated to see the end of Luke and Lorelai’s relationship! I am sincerely disappointed. Being a single Mom who like Lorelai, raised and supported children alone, I feel the current plot to be unrealistic and often unfair. I didn’t like the way Lorelai never supported Luke’s relationship with his daughter. While Luke was always supportive and caring of Lorelai’s and Rory
s relationship when it happened to Luke Lorelai acted jealous and resentful of his new found relationship with his daughter. Luke always gave into Lorelai whims and wishes. For example he gave up his dream house and modified Lorelai’s house instead just so she would feel comfortable. He gave up the old bedroom suite and was too often ridiculed by Emily and Richard. There seemed there was no end to the humiliation he was subjected to but he remained loyal to Lorelai. I remember he also loaned money to Lorelai to buy the inn too! On the other hand what has Christopher done to help Lorelai or Rory other than when he inherited money help Rory with finances which was his duty anyway!! I for one feel that Christopher isn’t the man Luke is. I prefer Luke’s gruff honesty any day to Christopher’s flashy, selfish, weak character. This plot line doesn’t reflect real life and therefore I doubt the social value this series lends to our society.

Oh gosh, I just keep reading and reading what you luke fans say. …Christopher did not neglect rory. He’s been around every season?? Rory is his daughter, the one he supposedly ”neglected” …she doesn’t hate him, why should you? Forgive and forget, geez. People change, do you not believe that? He was willing to marry Lorelai the minute she got pregnant…but she didnt want that. How come you fans aren’t blaming her? I think she made the right decision because she wasnt ready for marriage then, but my point is Chris was there. He was willing. She pushed him away, but he keeps coming back because he loves her so much. She is the only love that is constant in his life, and he in hers.

I love this new twist in the show, and I will be disappointed if she goes back to Luke because he brings lorelai down. She has a charming wit and sense of humor that can only be matched by chris. They bring out the best in each other!

Wooah, I think the total opposite, Shawn! I will admit while Luke and Lorelai were together, it was cute…but Chris is BACK. Chris has ALWAYS been after Lorelai…he’s always loved her, but timing was an issue. Something always got in the way, now they are mature enough to push everything out of the way and have a go at it, and they are SO cute together! Like she said in last night’s episode, it’s great to be with someone that just gets you, and has been there all along! I think it’s cute how giddy she is for Chris, she was never like that for luke. Luke sort of just…pushed his way in. I have always liked when Christopher comes back, even though he normally leaves…but I think that this is for good. He actually WANTS to marry Lorelai, Luke will never decide what he wants, he’s a confirmed bachelor now and forever. Besides, what is better than a mother and father reuniting, even if it has been 20 years…LOVE the show! LOVE chris!!!!

Lorelai has become a very unlikable character. I believe I’ll be missing her date with Christopher tomorrow. I have better things to do, books to read, a house to clean. Lor–he neglected your daughter for her first 18 years. He’d neglect her again if you left him. Just because he has money now doesn’t mean he’s suddenly a nice guy. You should be embarrassed you idiot woman.

This show is just the pits now and I give it up. I watched all these years to see Lorelai get together with that horrible Christopher? No thanks. She is so much less of a person when she’s with him. Gilmore Girls–you’ve jumped the shark.

I was a faithful GG fan for years. I haven’t seen an episode this season. Why? I can’t stomach watching Lorelai cozy up to that milquetoast Christopher. I will not watch that. Just because his father died and left him money doesn’t absolve Christopher of 20 years of emotional neglect of Rory. Luke or no Luke, Christopher’s a jerk. His priority should be his children, not Lorelai. Were Lorelai to reject him, he’d disappear from Rory emotionally. How quickly Lorelai forgets that Luke was a loyal friend who listened to her for eight years. How quickly she forgets that she, too, postponed the wedding because of her own child. Yes, Luke made a bad mistake. How many mistakes has Christopher made?

How quickly Lorelai forgets, period. She’s not worth it, Luke. Her continued running to Christopher has just ruined Lorelai’s character for me.

“Can a person ever make up for their past mistakes?”
Yes. He can spend more time with Rory NOW and not try to get into Lorelai’s pants while doing so.
“Should Christopher really be punished for the rest of his life?”
Yes. Absolutely.
“Why can’t you LL Shippers except the current reality. Luke and Lorelai (at this time) are not good for eachother.”
How biased is that? I have accepted the reality and joined Team Luke. (I blame Lorelai AND Chris for doing the deed. Both had control of their actions. One should have pulled back but they didn’t. You can’t blame a guy for driving a woman into bed with another man. As Rory said, “When you’re upset, you have a good cry, watch An Affair to Remeber, get a bad break-up haircut, but you DON’T sleep with dad.”) I’m not saying that L&L get back together right this second, but in a while. In the process she SHOULDN’T have gone back to Chris. I would expect this to be done by season 3. Now, it’s just ridiculous and wasting valuable time.

“I hope TVAddict writes a nice article after the episode airs where L/C implode into a million pieces. Talk about predictable. ”
Couldn’t agree more! It is predictable. The L/C cycle, I mean. They’ll get together, Chris will have a stupid grin on his face the whole time, Lorelai will be insecure and finally realize that she loves Luke. She’ll slow pull back out of the relationship, cue big argument/break-up. But, if Luke is smart, he won’t take her back right away. Let her suffer a little.

Chris is NOT a great guy. Honestly, I’m one of the biggest Chris-haters out there (senior division) As said a thousand times before, he only wants the idea of having Lorelai, not actually her. And I’m tired of hearing the only reasons for someone liking Chris being “They have such great chemistry”, “he’s so cute!” “he’s matured now” “he loves Lor!” and “Luke’s a jerk!”. Oh puh-leaze. Which are not very strong reasons. Well listen to this:
-Every time in which he comes around, he makes it appear as if it’s for Rory, but it end up being a scheme in which to get into Lorelai’s pants, leaving the two Gilmore girls heartbroken at the end when he leaves. It’s been done a thousand and a half times.
-Both ASP and DR are L&L fans
-A whole bunch of money does not make people more mature, or just plain ‘better’.
-DS is only signed on for 13 episodes this season
-There are more L/L fans than L/C.
-L&C act more like brother and sister than lovers.
-Luke is a man, Chris is a boy. Peter Pan really, he doesn’t want to grow up. He might SAY that he does, but he can’t walk the walk.

So I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d rather hear “But tonight I will give you my extremely positive views of other aspects of your being.” in a low sexy growl from a boyfriend than “Nice shirt! Take it off!” Being yelled at me on the street by an ex in front of my daughter.

Now, Chris may be ‘cute.’ But here’s the thing. Cute doesn’t fix things. Cute doesn’t support you. Cute doesn’t pay the bills.

In the end, Christopher will lose. It’s a given. What kind of a message does an L/C happily ever after scenario send to the viewers? That it doesn’t matter if the guy semi-abandoned you for 16 years, but as long as he’s rich and says that he loves youit’s okay????

Luke is the guy that would buy you a house because he wants to have a family with you.
Christopher is the guy that would buy you a house just to show he can.

Luke is the guy that would renovate the house you call home so you’ll feel comfortable.
Christopher is the guy that would offer you a castle in Narnia.

The only reason for a woman to not go after Luke is because he’s already taken.
The only reason for a woman to go after Christopher is the fact that he’s filthy rich.

Goya, I get what you’re saying, but think you are off the mark a little. To bring Luke down to the level of Chris, he would need to stop bonding with his daughter and use their time together primarlily as a way to jump into Anna’s pants. Hopefully, the new showrunners will not sink so low, but at this point I wouldn’t put it past them.
