It's time for Luke to step up to fill the void....Well, it's clear that it's it's gonna be more Luke, right, it's now she has the free time. Right, she's got a hole in her heart. She has an empty home. Now, it's going to be very difficult her for her to adjust to that. Those first couple of weeks are going to be really hard. All of her routines, everything she knows, it's built around supporting her daughter, and her daughter isn't there. I mean, that's that's a tough adjustment. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 4x2 (Part 1)

It's a really nice truck and it was really kind of cool to be in it. And it's nice. It's a nice, classic, well kept, well maintained truck... It's like him. It's old and out of date and well maintained. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 4x1

I think Lorelai was trying to put Luke out of her mind because she was so anxiety ridden about the potential of what could happen and what eventually did happen on the cruise...I kept thinking, why was he Why was Luke so irrate? It's free advertising, like anybody that comes in there can look into the diner and go let's go get a pie or let's get a coffee, and you know, kind of vice versa...That was a classic Luke rant...Well, it certainly um peaks your interest in wanting to know what the heck went on because he ran away from it so many times. But it was a good scene. It was a funny scene.... He's not all gushy and he needs to talk. And you know, it's like when the time is right, when he's prodded. You know, he's that guy, that's stubborn guy. You gotta really get it out of him, got to drag it out of him, and she did...I love the way he dragged it out. But there's more. But there's more. That's like a salesman and there's more. Wait, there's more. Uh yeah, And I just think, you know, I think that scene made it so obvious that these two really belong together, or at least they should give it a shot. You know, it's like guys give it a shot. Yes, I mean it was you know everybody. She was so relieved and he was relieved that she was relieved, and they were both kind of sitting there happy, even though he was trying to kind of fake that it didn't... Oh it didn't work out and what a pickle. But he didn't care, you know, he was with her.That was the best dialogue between those two so far. Yes, it was the most fraught with tension and consequences and so revealing of how they both felt about one another. In a very unexpected way...hey want that relationship to be pure. They wanted to be as pure as possible and that nothing, nothing can last in the face of that heat. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory - Episode 3x22

And I think she was right to let Jess go because what kind of you know, who calls and doesn't say anything and then just listens and then hangs up. I mean, please, I mean, this is this is an option for your future...Let's just rewind here a little bit. We we we have to realize how much pain Jess is in and how confused he is and how his world is just blown apart. His dad doesn't want him, his mom doesn't want him, he's got Luke kicked him out. Nobody wants him, and he doesn't feel worthy. He does, but he wants he's hanging on. You know, that phone call scared me actually. That's the kind of phone call when somebody hangs up and it's like they make a decision. You know, it's like that kind of depression and loneliness. I mean, that guy needs somebody to reach out. He really needs help. You know. It really hurt me, It really really really hurt me, you know, so we can you know, listen. I I get this way too, and everybody does you get all judgy about things because it's just a TV show, But but look at the look at the character, look at what he's going through, and it's it's and that was a lifeline for him. That was a call that he didn't have to say it, but the call really meant save me...It's actually a very beautiful scene. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 3x22

Inappropriate? But that's Lorelai right, you mean she's well, well, of course that's what she does. That's who she is. That's her character...So she's gonna ask those questions because nobody does that, and she's gonna do it, and that's why we love her, right, we expect the unexpected...I think he's biding his time, right, and  he's giving he's giving it a chance. But it's like, you know, maybe it's maybe it's fun and relaxed and it's good for him, and he knows it's good for his life, and she's having a good time and all that, but maybe he doesn't feel it's the end all be all right. But again, how would he know. It's definitely not the same feeling he has for Lorelai So I think that's why.  But I think he probably feels he's never gonna get Lorelai and he's got to grow up and try something else and maybe carve out a life for himself. And I just think he's being trying to be you know, emotionally mature about it...I think I think he likes being with her. I don't know that it's it's long term, and I think he still probably has a glimmer of hope for Lorelai coming around somehow because that feeling. I think that feeling that tension is always there it's always there. That doesn't go away with somebody when you feel it to that degree for somebody...Look, man he's dreaming about her right? Have you ever had some guy come up to you and say I had a dream about you last night based on the fact that I've never met you. Do tell...only one Lorelai. There's only one of those...from Luke's point of view that there's one of her. You know, they didn't make another one of her. She's she's one in a billion, and he knows it. And however quirky or inappropriate she is, she's very special, and she's very funny and warm and loving and and what a fun life. And I think, you know, she brings out a side in him that he buries, so I think I think he sees himself, he projects himself into a future with her where he feels like he could open up a little bit and start loosening up and and having some fun and having some laughs ..It would be more fun. He knows his life isn't tremendously fun. He's a you know, he's a guy that gets up and works and he works all day and he works...And why do people do that? Why are people like that? Because you know they haven't found the one. They find the one. He's not working so much...Why do you always assume that I carry pens with me everywhere I go. That was so good. That was good...He didn't really have a close relationship with Rory, right, I mean he was dad at a distance. He was a protector at a distance. I mean, he's been there since she was a baby. This she's she's been bringing her bringing a little baby Rory into the diner since she was born. Right, So Luke's been there, you know, playing with her and Couci Couci and the whole thing. And you know, it's been seventeen years...Was he asking was she asking Lorelai's permission to go on the cruise? Was it a heat check?  Because that's reality. The fantasy was... He wanted his dream to become reality, and when it didn't, he said screw it I'm going on the trip...He doesn't want to get his heart all smashed into bits if he makes his move and it ultimately doesn't work...Look, at a certain point, he's got to put his big boy pants on and take a step up. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory - Episode 3x21

What was, is he like crazy Luke? Like talking to himself and like muttering? I rewound that about four times just laughed my butt off...Oh, this is another example. This is another example of how, you know, naturally great Alexis is because she just, you could just see her and feel her absorb these, these, this horrible news. Right. And how she process it just, you could see everything happening in her eyes and her body. I mean, it's just wonderful acting. I, I was really...she's so vulnerable, such a great way to approach the craft, you know, just she's so open. It's wonderful to watch. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 3x21

Yeah. I like that scene. I like that scene a lot. I liked it. And he actually carried her over to the other side of the house, not carried her, but he got phys, you know, he actually touched her... But I like that scene. I like that scene a lot. And it showed his, his, you know, him feeling really like a big failure and, and he acknowledged that. And I thought that was a very poignant moment in this...But it was more, it was more..He, he moved her and she didn't mind it. You know, it was like he moved her whole body over around there because he was so concerned that Rory, you know, he is protecting Rory. He didn't want her to hear this...I think there's a big void there without Jess and I'm, you know, I'm wondering what's happening and you know, without Jess there, that really does take away a lot from, from the proceedings. So I was very curious about what was going to unfold and pretty, pretty quickly we get to him getting off the bus. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess - Episode 3x21

But I think it's some of Milo's best work. He really, really pulled me in. He really, really, really pulled me in with this cuz he was so hurt and he was so lost and he was so confused and I, I just loved him in this episode. I, I just fell in love with him again in this episode. So I'm like, you know, I'm, I'm all there for, for Jess now hoping that he, God, I mean just, I mean, getting thrown out by his father, he doesn't even show he, he just shows up and father's rejecting him again. I mean the poor kid, you know, he's, he's, he's in a tough spot. I'm I'm, you know, I, my, my natural protective instincts, you know, just me Scott was, was really just man, just, I was just fired up...He did fail him. He did fail him. And I, and I do feel bad. I, and I know that Luke feels bad and he should feel bad. He did fail him because he, he, with the young kid, it's, you know, you gotta pick your moments to be that rigid and that stern, you know, like I said, in the last podcast, why isn't there a world where, where you can sit somebody down and really talk to them and really support them and really love them. Instead of all of this, this has gotta be my way garbage and you know, and all this. And, and, and, and my God, I just, I don't know how anybody, especially a kid that vulnerable, that smart, that sensitive and that troubled, how is he? He's not gonna respond well to that. You know, you, I mean, they're gonna make mistake after mistake, after mistake, after mistake, the only, and I, and I agreed with Sasha, right? It's like, you gotta love these people, man. You gotta love them and you gotta hug them and you gotta be patient with 'em and they're gonna screw up. And you gotta just factor that into the equation and alter your behavior. So I was, but Luke, again, like Luke is not the guy to raise or, or to be there for this kid...But I wanted to see a softer Luke. I wanted to see a Luke that was more supportive and gentle with that boy and, and loving and open up his heart. Cause wouldn't that have been powerful..But wouldn't the, the most moving scene would've been Luke opening up his heart to that kid and showing him how it affected him. Like imagine Luke in tears. Like shattered.  Like  kid, I'm, I'm dying for you here, man. It would've worked. Right. I think that's gonna be more effective going forward. I support that. -Scott

I Am All In Rewatch - Luke & Jess - Episode 3x20

It's just Luke at his most protective. It's it's, it's, it's really just, you know, the bear coming out in him and listen, come near him. I'll eat you. That's all there is to it. And you know, he cares. That's Luke showing him that's Luke loving Jess. Yeah, because you're no good. And you're just gonna rip people apart...This, this is not a situation where Luke can rescue him. Right. He's it's, he's, it's not possible. The kid needs to be in therapy and he needs to, he needs to talk to a professional and he needs to do it for over a long period of time. Luke is just gonna get chewed up doing this. Hopefully Luke can inspire in him the strength to, you know, look in the mirror and, and say, listen, I need help. I need real help...What, what, what would happen if Luke didn't get angry? And sat him down and loved the kid and said, listen, let's talk. What's go. And I know Jess is impossible to talk to, but if he just sits him down and says, listen, these are all your choices that you're making and choices have consequences. So you can do whatever you want, you know, but here's, what's going to happen as a result. Right? You won't be able to live here cause I won't tolerate it. And he, I, I think he needs a Luke in his life. But not a screaming Luke. Right. And I under, and I understand that Luke is, is, is upset. And I don't think Luke can handle this. It's not something that he's equipped for because he doesn't have the experience raising a kid. He doesn't know how to raise a kid. He's never raised a kid.  You raise a kid and you acquire some real special skills that only other parents have. And it's, you can pretend at it. But if you, unless you have the experience, you're gonna go crazy. Because to be a parent is to be like a super human patience is required and you can get in a situation that where you become so reactive and you just sort of go to this place and you can't do that. Can't do that with a child. So, you know, he's in over his head, he's just in over his head. It's it's, it's bound to fail. That relationship is bound to fail, unfortunately. And, and it's entertaining to watch and it's heartfelt and everybody's trying real hard and it's heartbreaking, but it's doomed to failure. -Scott
