Bop-It

[ISmellSnow · 3/10 · 12 January 2021]

Every time I watch this episode I get the Pippi Longstocking song stuck in my head. Luke and Lorelai double date with Dean and Rory and it's super awkward. Luke is not a fan of Dean and isn't afraid to show it. After the movie, they all go back to Lorelais house and Luke and Dean play an intense game of Bop-It. Emily decides to get a panic room and the code to get in is 11111 haha.

Great until the double date...

I loved everything about the episode, until that god awful double date between Luke/Lorelai and Dean/Rory. The movie they picked was an abomination, and the girls were at their most annoying, getting excited in what these Star Hollow freaks call theater. As much as I dislike Lorelai and Luke together, which is also proving me, that actors with great onscreen chemistry, don't necessarily make equality great TV couples. Wake me up, when she gets back with Christopher... And dreaded the part where Rory dates that obnoxious rich boy, which is another proof of another theory of mine, saying TV heroines love abusing relationships. Season 5 is improving. Better premiere, actually one of the best. And new dynamics that work perfectly. Richard and Emily are separated, which makes for very comical bits, in this episode in particular. And The Dragonfly Inn, is a place closer to the show's spirit and its heroines. Rory's Yale adventures, aren't so dull anymore as well. I still don't remember what I used to see in the Paris character, though. Minus her being the class bully, her college years look pretty similar to hers at Chilton. Maybe it was just her little transformation in season 3, that stuck with me all those years (?)... And Lane is just a better and cooler best friend, anyway. Luke's speech about Dean being wrong for Rory, was exhausting. Don't he remember Jess, his nephew?...

When Luke becomes annoying

This episode marks Luke's downfall in my opinion. From here on out he just becomes a whinging, tiresome, complainer. Basically just an inflexible old cranky man, and this continues all the way into the revival. Yes he has his nice moments where he does something kind for Lorelai, or Rory, but he just becomes such a toxic downer overall that I think he dims Lorelai's shine. I get that they needed "drama" but it just made him unlikeable. The highlight of the episode was Kirk the ever professional in yet again another job at the movie cinema, and classic Emily Gilmore with her panic room passcode.
