December 12, 2006: Whoopee!
Here's a rerun you didn't want to miss. I am tempted to go off on Luke for his horrendous comments when he ran into Lorelai on the street: "It's not as big a deal for me as it is for you. So we're not getting married. It's fine by me.
You're the one who proposed in the first place." Ouch!
But you know what? Enough
agita. I'd rather talk about Lane and Zack, Stars Hollow's best couple. Naturally Pedro's Paradise turned out to be anything but... the poor couple spent their Mexican honeymoon in Pedro's dirty apartment, nowhere near the beach, overlooking an ad for Mexican nasal spray (of all things). I'm surprised a control freak like Lane actually let Zack plan the honeymoon in the first place, but we'll let that one slide.
If that's not bad enough, Lane is convinced that her mother was right about sex all along, "that women are maintaining this pervasive media-supported charade, that sex is normal, that sex is wonderful, that sex is
sexy." You too would think sex was pretty awful if your first time involved cold water, mud, crabs (the crustaceans, not the STD) and a perverted snorkler watching while you were trying to re-create the beach scene in
From Here to Eternity. Yuk. (I like Rory's advice: Try a bed next time. Yep, they only did it once.)
The kicker? Lane ends up preggers! ("That's what you get for making whoopee, folks!") I loved how Rory consoles her by naming bad celebrity mothers (Britney, Courtney), then making fun of all the ridiculous celebrity baby names in vogue these days. "I wonder if Blanket ever met Tom and Katie's pillow? That would be a good play date. They'd be totally set at naptime. Then they can invite Gwyneth's Apple over for a snack. Afterwards, Rachel Griffiths' Banjo can play for them. Then they can jump into Mia Farrow's Satchel and make fun of what's-his-name? Pilot Inspektor Lee!" Old-school
Gilmore banter at its best.
But you know what? Lane might not know what a pram is, or how to change a diaper or why mothers test formula on their wrists. But she and Zack will become Stars Hollow's coolest young parents, dressing their twins in tie-dye onesies and Ramones baby tees. Hey, I'd babysit.
