The range of emotions LG put into that one scene was just astounding, and kudos to the writers for sticking with the entire song, instead of just verse-chorus-end. It was more awkward, but it perfectly underscored how vulnerable Lorelai was at that point. Just a flawless moment that encapsulated everything I loved about this show. <BR/><BR/>Did anyone else pick up on the music box lullaby Lane had playing when she was putting the twins to sleep? It took me a couple of seconds to place it, but it was definitely the Cure's "Boys Don't Cry."

I was embarrassed watching it. And seriously, I have always rooted for Luke and Lorelai to be together as I don't suppose anyone else could stand either of them, so they are made for each other. But really. And everyone who cares already knew she was singing the Dolly version with out Rory's explication.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and last week didn't Lorelai say something like she hadn't been in the diner for eight months? And in this episode she claims to know that Luke has never worn the hat that she gave him in that time. Are we supposed to infer that she's been doing some clandestine stalking?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806449586505280425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-52562952490847050612007-05-03T15:51:00.000-04:002007-05-03T15:51:00.000-04:00I think the point was that music snob Lane assumed...I think the point was that music snob Lane assumed that Lorelai was familiar with the song via the mass-popular Whitney version and not the pure Dolly version.

Perhaps also she, like me, tries like mad to block out anything Whitney, Mariah or Celine related in general for fear of that kind of information taking root and forming some kind of emotional ebola inside our head. Really, it's just too much to even contemplate in this reply to you.
