indescribableAnd since when does Lorelai want to travel? I hate it when the writers start making stupid shit up just to get their characters into annoying situations that they think will generate tension. First Luke's dumb house and now this traveling thing. Lame.
Dinner at the Gilmore's, on the other hand, was a tension love-fest. So painful to watch Lorelai cowed like that. And while it felt totally real, it was no fun to watch and left me kind of bummed and cranky. Lorelai's supposed to be fabulous and lively and put me in a good mood, dang it.
