Stac(e)y: Copper boom! I couldn't stop crying throughout this entire scene because they love each other so much. And Lorelai was so hurt. Luke was so mean to her. He was YELLING at her because of his stupid boat from his dead dad (not that it's not sad when dads die. Was it sad when your dad died, Pamie?). Ugh, this scene was soooooooo sad. I just watched it again in slow-mo, and I transcribed it on IM with the Luke_Lover_76CaLi and we wanted to squee but it was so hard to squee through our tears. But we did it.
Rory is draped across her platonic friend Marty's lap. Marty announces he's going to say something that will upset the entire world. He thinks the I Love Lucy episode with Harpo Marx was lame. I look outside: planet still spinning. Guess we're okay for now. Marty complains that there's no way Harpo would have thought he was looking into a mirror and the last time they made that popping up from behind the partition move she was totally slower than him. Hey, Marty. You need a job recapping? You got the skills and disdain we encourage here at TelevisionWithoutPity.com. And Al Lowe's going to want a Deadwood sub as soon as she starts getting hate mail like, "Your just jealous that you're not a whore in the old West. If you hate the show so much, why do you own a television?" Marty continues complaining about Lucy episodes until Rory flirts that he has to stop watching that show. There's a knock at the door. Marty says he hopes it's Paris. Not a chance, buddy. Rory compares Marty to Tom Hanks. It's Logan, who I'm surprised knocks at all. Now, even I knew that Logan was coming back today and had made a sex date with Rory, so it's a little weird that Rory even plays it coy, unless she wanted Logan to see she was there with Marty. Logan's got the gang waiting in the car to go get Chinese food (didn't Rory and Logan just eat everything ever invented, with a wasabi chaser?), and asks Marty to come along so he can get to know him without leaving a tip in his jar. Marty's awkwardly like, "I wasn't kissing her, I was just thinking about it." Logan goes to wait in the car, and unbelievably Rory's asking Marty if they can go. Marty knows Rory wants to, and for some reason he's willing to put himself through this humiliation of going with her. Rory promises they can leave if it gets weird. Logan and his friends publicly humiliated Marty the last time they were all together. You think Marty's in the mood to share their dim sum? Rory runs to get her coat before Marty can say, "I guess." Movie's off, Marty's pride is ditched, and Rory gets her way yet again.
