    Honestly, this is one of my least favorite episodes of the Gilmore Girls 7 seasons.Read on for the reasons why.
    1. Luke behaves like an inconsiderate neanderthal. The way he talked to basically everyone in this episode,including Lorelai was just not on.BTW,forgetting Valentine's Day?That's just not on.And the way he pretended that he and Logan snuck out together..grrr.Not to mention, the fact that he reverted back to an a good for nothing boyfriend at the end of the episode was frustrating to watch. 2. Lorelai actually accepted his behavior rather then calling him on it, like she would anyone else.

    3. The Logan/Luke scenes were jest painful to watch.I understand why Luke had his reservations about Logan, but there was no need for Luke to be just plain rude.

    What I liked about the episode:
    1. Logan: I have a love/hate feeling about Logan most of the time, but this episode he really stepped up to the man that Rory deserves to have.

    2. Logan and Rory:I could actually see a future in their relationship from this episode, and it was good to see their domestic routine, something that the viewers rarely saw from this couple.

    3.Finally, Luke and Lorelai had a proper conversation!. It was what Lorelai (and me as a viewer really needed as well.)
    Anyway, these are my thoughts on the episode.moreless

    A relationship focused episode, Logan and Rory, Lorelai and Luke. Now the latter are very up and down, the wedding is off the tables due to April's sudden appearance in Luke's life and Lorelai is sad, to say the least. but Luke isn't himself and doesn't seem to do anything. In fact he actually complains a lot on the trip and makes some viewers annoyed, I was verging on annoyed but luckily his speech saved me.

    He tells Lorelai they WILL get married after puts her concerns out there, it was a nice speech. He gets some help from Logan and gives him a break. But why isn't Lorelai involved with April, at least just a small bit. Who knows?

    As for Rory and Logan, all seems well until Logan's jerk of a father Mitchum turns up and demands that Logan go to London, he probes what an ass he is and I don't doubt that he's a hated character. But will this new one year in London after college development ruin another one of Rory's relationships?moreless

  • Valentine's Day on Martha's Vinyard, with the Gilmore Girls and their sweeties

    This starts off with Lorelei and Sookie at the Inn. Sookie is having a meltdown about what to serve for Valentine's Day dinner. Lorelie calms her down. Then Sookie tells Lorelie her Valentine Day plans and asks Lorelie about hers. Lorelie doesn't have any, Luke thinks that Valentine's Day is "a holiday made up by the greeting card people." However, Rory calls her with an invitation to go out to Logan's family cottage in Martha's Vinyard. She tells her to force Luke to go. Luke does end up going, but the stuff he takes on the trip is like he's going on a survivalist camping trip. Then they go to the gym, where the girls talk some of the laundry staff into giving them massages (LOL). Luke and Logan play a quite competitive basketball game, at least on Luke's side. Rory is quite competent and cute in cooking dinner, and Logan supplies the lobster. Luke didn't get Lorelei any gift for Valentine's Day (naturally, since he doesn't believe in it). But Logan got two gifts for Rory, so he saves the day by offering Luke one, which Luke finally takes. It seems like Rory and Logan are like the old married couple, and not Luke and Lorelei. But Luke finally begins enjoying himself, especially with the lobster, and finally he has a good night's sleep. He finds Lorelie to be a little sad, and wondering if her marriage will ever come off. Luke assures her that it will, and they'll have lobster at the wedding. Finally Logan's father shows up, and they engage in a shouting match which ends the vacation at Martha's Vinyard. Then Luke and Lorelie are shown at the Diner, with April still apparently coming between them. A well-written episode.moreless

    I liked this episode because we see a different side of the picture. Luke is grumpy the whole trip. If I were Lorelai I would have sent him home. But ranting Luke is part of what she likes about him, so we just see the down side this episode. Rory and Logan seem like a happy married couple. They are comfortable and sweet with eachother. My favorite part was the screaming match between Logan and Mitchum. First of all, they seem exactly like father and son, similar manerisms. The fight was very well acted. So much of TV acting looks scripted. \"You do your line, then I\'ll do my line\". These two actors were gloriously inconsiderate, talking right over one another and getting right up in the others face. Anyway, that\'s what I think.moreless

    • When Lorelai walks into the kitchen to help Rory, Rory is using the lemon squeezer. However when they shoot back to Rory, she is chopping cucumbers and then goes to a drawer to get the lemon squeezer. Edit
    • Lorelai asks one of the kitchen staff what kind of food funk Sookie is in, to which he responds, "2001, pigeons à la niçoise." However, this episode aired in 2006 and the Dragonfly was not open in 2001. Considering none of the kitchen staff was brought from the Independence Inn to the Dragonfly Inn (which we know from Sookie saying she hired 7 people in episode 4.22 "Raincoats and Recipes"), this man would have no knowledge of Sookie's food funk in 2001. Edit
    • The long shot of Martha's Vineyard is shown and it's obviously stock footage. They are there in February and yet there are flowers in bloom on the island. Edit

    • Lorelai: (digging into Luke's bag and pulls out a knife) Oh, my God - Luke: It's a Bowie knife. To cut fish, to cut tree limbs - Lorelai: Amputate a leg? Luke: Eh, not a leg. It could do a foot. (later in the kitchen with Rory) Lorelai: (picking up a huge knife and stabbing it in the air) This would definitely do a foot. Edit
    • Lorelai: This is fun! Rory: You have got to stop doing that. Lorelai: I love the squishy feeling. Rory: You're going to over-mash them. Lorelai: Is there such a thing as over-mashing potatoes? Rory: Yes, it's called potato soup. Lorelai: You know, you can put on the apron and shout out things like 'dice the carrots' but implying that you can over-mash potatoes proves you're a phony. Rory: You're the one who thought the potato masher was a waffle shaper before I corrected you. Lorelai: Ow. I think I'm giving myself mashed potato elbow. Would you like more chef's juice? Rory: More wine would be great. Edit
    • (Lorelai walks out into the kitchen and gapes at the sight of Rory cooking) Lorelai: I'm sorry, but this picture just does not compute. Rory: Stop. Lorelai: You're wielding a knife! That's verboten in Gilmore world. Rory: You forget that I'm a rebel. Lorelai: And you're wearing an apron! Rory: It's so my clothes don't get wrecked! Lorelai: You have not worn an apron since you saw the Sound of Music and you put one on so you'd look like Sister Maria, and you made a big crucifix out of Popsicle sticks. (Rory laughs and gets something from a drawer) Wow. Rory: What? Lorelai: You just went to that drawer and got that thingamabob out of there like that's what you intended all along. Rory: It was. Lorelai: You know where things are. Rory: I've cooked here before. Lorelai: I may need to be resuscitated. Rory: Okay, do you want to help or you want to keep on the riff? Lorelai: I want to help! Rory: Okay. Logan is taking care of the lobsters for us outside, and I am making a salad, mashed potatoes and Bruschetta. Lorelai: Huh. What's this? (She picks up a utensil and waves it around) Rory (takes it away): It's a garlic press. Lorelai (picks up a huge knife and stabs the air): This would definitely do a foot. Rory: Step away from the knife. Lorelai: What's this? Rory: That's a lemon zester. Lorelai: Let me zest a lemon. (Luke comes in) Rory: No. Lorelai: Well, I get to do something! Rory: But you can't just grab things. Hi Luke! Luke: Hey. Rory (to Lorelai): Wash your hands and I'll give you a task. Lorelai: Excellent. Luke: Food looks good! Lorelai: Rory's going to let me chop something! Luke: Is that wise? Rory: I did not say chop. Lorelai: All right, I'm all ready. Rory: Okay, chop the celery. (hands her a dinner knife) Lorelai: Yay! (She sees the knife Rory is handing her) Oh, that's a dinner knife. Rory: Well, be very careful, please. (She hands her the large knife) Lorelai: I am Mario Batali and Ina Garten's love child. Rory: Logan's outside dealing with the lobsters if you want to join him. He was very nice, by the way. He kept them very well hidden from me when they were, let's just say, not dead. Lorelai: Not dead? Ugh. I don't like behind the scenes food stuff. Luke: I'll see what's going on out there. (he leaves) Rory: What did you mean, it would do a foot? Edit
