E 202 Cookies and Chicken Kiev

We open the episode talking about the newspaper Lorelai may be wearing. Then Simon has a rant about Renaissance English playwrights and too many classes at Chilton on Shakespeare. We talk about Emily and Lorelai and Emily feeling slighted about finding out about Lorelai's engagement to Max by way of Sookie and imagining it as a intentional slight.  We discuss if we will have chicken Kiev at our wedding and why Simon is against it and Abby is for it and not having a big cake.  Simon talks about Barbarella and the new wave of late 60s early 70s movies in Hollywood. Why Rory is in the wrong about freaking about extra curriculars taking up her summer. We speculate that Max comes from a rather large family. The continual destructive need of both Lorelai and Emily to engage in metaphorical knifing into each other when arguing. Why chocolate preleen cookies are amazing. How it is amazing in the pre 9-11 world that Lane could finish DJing at 8 PM and leave for a flight a 9:30 PM and that is not unrealistic.  We discuss the reference to the band the Damned and their musical impact. Abby talks about speed of ketchup. We are both perplexed is Lorelai seeing Luke at her engagement party. The truce between Lorelai and and Emily. And does Max have a Master's or a PHD.
