I totally agree on the Amazing Race! The nerds are really cute in a nerdy way. And I like the mother and daughter. And the hippies are amusing. I liked the "galamzons" until they started shrieking non-stop, which was really really irritating. :-)
Man, I'm ticked at Luke for being so damn oblivious. He wouldn't be himself if he wasn't, but still, ARGH!
I miss Dave Rygalski something fierce. But we'll never get the actor off the OC. :( Zach's okay; "That is *so* not rock 'n' roll!" has become something of a catchphrase around our house.
"We were on a break!" says Ross Logan to Rachel Rory. Nothing new under the sun, right?
I don't want Chris and Lorelai together either. I think there's too much between them for that, but they work very well as friends. They have an awesome rapport.
I don't blame Rory for being angry. She just comes from a fundamentally different worldview than Logan, where monogamy is the standard and you don't have one-night-stands. Hell, if it had been just one girl she might've handled it okay. But that it was multiple girls, yeah, I can see where she's coming from.
And yet, Rory was raised my a single mom who clearly dated a lot (albeit not right in front of Rory). While she wouldn't approve of one-night stands, I find it tough to believe that she's unaware of stupid things you do in relationships. Lorelai is not so much with the commitment.
I find the fact that Logan and Christopher are so alike to be both very real and a bit creepy. I love Christopher, and I'm warming to Logan, but in a way Rory is dating her charming, irresponsible dad. The scene where they compared private schools they had gotten kicked out of was perfect, but a bit eye-opening, I would think.
That being said, my personal belief is that Rory has been aiming for a world somewhere between Lorelai and Emily's, and that Logan suits that balance very well. Plus, the more Christopher-y he gets, the more I'm going to like him. :-)
On your first point, absolutely, I think Rory's very aware of stupid things that people do (ie, losing your virginity to your married ex-boyfriend). What really horrified her, I think, was that Logan didn't think he'd done anything wrong. To him, it was perfectly okay to decide you were broken up and proceed to sleep with a lineup of brainless women: "I was depressed, I was lonely, I was upset. I've known these girls forever. It was just companionship. It meant nothing." He never said anything along the lines of "I shouldn't have done it" or "It was a mistake." Which is pretty much 180 degrees from how Rory sees things.
I had noted the similarities between Christopher and Logan, but hadn't really put it together in the sense of "Wow, Rory's dating her dad." It makes total sense, though, as you say-- real, but kinda creepy. Hopefully Logan can make good, like Christopher finally did. (Although he's clearly still learning, too. Gigi is a monster!)
*clings back* Us Christopher fans gotta stick together! I am sooo terrified to go into GG fandom at large-- I'm not ready yet to have people yell mean things about characters I love. The show is still too new and precious to me for that. I don't wanna turn into a GG cynic just yet (although the show itself isn't helping a whole lot). But ugh, I was reading the post at SZ and someone posted something along the lines of "LORELAI IS A HEINOUS BITCH!" and I ran away because I'm not READY for that, dammit!
As I said, I've watched GG since Day 1, and I've yet to become a cynic! I credit this to FULL message board avoidance! Never ever ever will I read the TWoP boards, I'm afraid it will ruin my beautiful show! It's soooooo much better that way.

Sigh...Lane. :( I'm still hoping her old boyfriend will leave the OC and come back to Starshollow.
I am still fuming over the whole "we were on a break" crap, though.

Seriously, I have been watching GG since day 1 and you're the first person other than me to say that!
Loving the hippies and the nerds. Those shrieking-harpy faux-glamazons have GOT to go. Next episode, please?
Amen!
