“It’s Just Like Riding A Bike? Recap
Good episode! Finally we have a little progress with the overall storyline. Rory is anxiously waiting word on the fellowship, Paris is getting acceptance letters to medical and law schools left and right, Sookie finally admits she is holding a grudge against Jackson and Lorelai and Luke work on the whole friends thing.
I love Paris. I would love to see a Paris spin off show. Send her to North Carolina for medical school and watch the fun unfold! But I digress. Paris has a huge decision to make and decides she doesn’t want her relationship with Doyle to affect it, so she breaks up with him. Doyle decides he doesn’t want to break up so he tells her he will follow her wherever she goes. Aww…. How sweet. Who would have ever thought Paris would end up in a great, stable relationship? I love it.
Meanwhile, Rory agonizes while waiting for the fellowship letter. She finally gets the letter and she did not get the fellowship. So our girl has got to figure out a game plan now. I can’t wait to see next week’s episode to see how she handles it.
Lorelai’s Jeep died. And after a painfully awkward visit to Luke’s diner, she decides car shopping would be the perfect way to work on their friendship. They go shopping and get into a huge fight, but Lorelai knows it is a great sign. After deciding not to buy a new car, she goes home to find Sookie and Jackson. Jackson broke her dollhouse by mistake. Later, Luke shows up and tells Lorelai he’s tracked down her exact Jeep, gone and looked at it and scheduled time for Gypsy to take the engine from it and put it in Lorelai’s Jeep so she can keep her car. Awww… sweet. And with that, they seem to have gone back to a semi-normal friendship. It’s about time.

I tried. I really did. And I know all you fans loved this episode. But I’m a fan, too.
I found this episode incredibly shallow. The characters had no motivation behind them. It was just lines spoken into the camera. It was boring. And not just plain boring. Agonizingly boring. The kind of boring that makes you want to shoot the TV so you won’t have to watch it anymore. I even went so far as to rewrite the first scene, just to figure out what I thought was missing.
