As much as we love this show - really, truly LOVE this show - there are a couple of episodes that bring us down. Sometimes we skip right over them, or fast forward.

Today’s first episode in a new series called Episodes We Skip is A Vineyard Valentine in season 6. It sounds promising - a weekend away with Lorelai and Luke, Rory and Logan. But the weirdness is palpable: Luke is still dealing (awkwardly) with the April situation, and Logan has something he’s hiding. Meanwhile, Rory surprises us left and right. 

We discuss some of the character holes and inconsistencies: why doesn’t Luke know anything about Martha’s Vineyard? Why hasn’t he tried lobster before? 

Rory seems like a different person - going to the gym, cooking with ease - what gives? And what does this say about her relationship with Lorelai?

Plus, Luke continues to be a “grumpypuss,” the ultimate crankster. Will he ever snap out of it?

But don’t worry, we’ll try to find the redeeming moments of the episode, too: the sweet moments, the funny ones, and the moments that give us hope.
