Run Away, Little Boy: discussion post
2x9, Run Away, Little Boy
Written by John Stephens ♥
Directed by Danny Leiner
--> Can we just discuss how this is an AWESOME episode? Much like all of John Stephens' episodes? If you disagree, feel free to say so, but I can't not proclaim my love for this man and his writing.
--> Lorelai and her love life. Casual (really hot) date, followed by fun Stars Hollow antics! The ice cream maker and closure.
--> On a related note, this is another one of those Luke/Lorelai dream episodes, am I right? I'm such a sucker, in ANY ship, for a third party pointing out the obvious, and that Lorelai/Sookie scene in the coatroom is a classic. As for the scene at the end, that's one of Lorelai's most vulnerable moments with him. (Although, side note, it's always bugged me how "this town" comes before Luke on her list of people who are in her life.)
--> On a further related note, this is a lovely Sookie episode! Plenty of girl talk with Lorelai, not to mention the Michel rivalry.
--> Does anyone else think this episode could have gotten EVEN BETTER had the elder Gilmores decided to attend Romeo and Juliet?
--> Aww, Lane and Henry.
--> The project! This is Chilton humor at its best. Paris the director, the introduction of Brad the Delightful (I just made up that name. Yeah, I KNOW.), and Madeline and Louise to lighten the mood.
--> Tristan. You can't help but feel bad for him in this episode. On the other hand, the Dean/Rory/Tristan love triangle doesn't exactly make either male look too good.
