    FINALLY

    Luke finally asks out Lorelai. TJ and Liz are engaged. Jess comes to town. Jackson has to sleep with the zucchini :) TJs bachelor party is silly. Asher Fleming has to go to the hospital.

    Luke Is Such A Wuss

    Why is it that Luke, supposedly virile and masculine, always allows himself to be trampled upon by the people in his life? His sister, brother-in-law, nephew, daughter from hell, and Lorelei are constantly taking advantage of him and he permits it. He yells a lot, but never follows through with his threats and they know it. This was especially true of his relationship with Jess and Lorelei. Cumulatively, it makes his character seem 'wussy'. Luke often needed to 'grow a pair' but rarely did. He talked the talk but hardly walked the walk.

    • Quotes

      Guy on tape: Whose phone calls or visits are never unwanted or too long? Do you see her face? Who would you most like to have in your life to ward off moments of loneliness? Do you see her face? When you travel, who would make your travels more enjoyable? Do you see her face? When you're in pain, who would you most like to comfort you? Do you see her face? When something wonderful happens in your life, a promotion at work, a successful refinancing, who do you want to share the news with? Do you see her face? Whose face appears to you, my friend? Whose face?

      Luke: Wow.
