E 205 Danishes and a new Character

A long one. We start the episode discussing the wonderful Danishes Abby made for the episode. We open with Simon showing his distate for the Sex Pistols, and then we note that its insane that boy scouts would expect a diner to serve them grilled cheese or burgers at 7:30 in the morning after having glued rocks together all night. We note that Luke suddenly gets a phone call and wonder if it means a new character will enter the show and ask while the credits run who is the new actor Milo...who?.    We move from the opening to talk about the background of the Luke Dane family and how we have a canon discontonuity with Jess the new character. As well as how much Luke contacts his extended family.  Next we have aside where we discuss late dramatic and comedy actor Leslie Nielson and introduce Jess. We look at Rory's first day at Chilton for her second year there and issues with Paris, like Paris giving her the wrong time to go to the newspaper for its first meeting.  And then how Rory runs into Max Medina who was practically left at the alter by her mother the previous episode. Simon speculates on the plumbing of Chilton.    We discuss how Rory doesn't 'wild' despite Lorelai's claims, and then look at how this episode is the first time the A plot actually doesn't involve the Gilmore girls but (for the moment) two b characters, Luke and Jess. We discuss how Luke is trying to be easy on Jess despite his desire for rules to be maintained. We discuss Rory being offered to meet with Max Medina for an article by Paris hoping to sabotage her, and Rory deciding to take it. Then wee look at how the dinner set up between Jess, Luke, Rory, Lorelai, Suki and Jackson goes badly. Simon makes a aside that he found Howl by Ginsberg to be a piece of poetry that didn't agree with him. Then we discuss how both Luke and Lorelai act horribly Lorelai trying to interfere on Luke's attempt at parenting and Luke being less then charitable about Lorelai's situation   We discuss Jess's criminal tendencies, like staling a gnome, Lorelai trying to bribe a kid, and then Rory's interview with Max. We look at Jess having mislead Rory on his suggested lack of reading abilities.  And then Luke apparently losing it over Jess being disrespectful and then forcing Jess to have some ground rules. And we then end with a discussion if Lorelai was trying to be a little too involved with Luke's parenting of Jess.
