Read "Merry Fisticuffs" Recap
Discussion Questions:
- How can Chris be thinking of taking Lorelai away from Stars Hollow?
- Since when does Lorelai like prissy houses? Or was she being prissy on purpose to point out that it was not "her"?
- Is Lorelai being dismissive in calling the wedding party "just a party"?
- Why doesn’t Luke already have a lawyer to work out his visitation with April?
- Given the reaction of Stars Hollow folks to not being invited to the wedding, why is Lorelai still not including them in the party list?
- Is Lorelai whining more than usual?
- Do you think Luke is now ok with Lorelai marrying Chris?
- When Lorelai holds Doula, do you think Luke realized what could have been?
- Did Rory provoke Logan’s jealousy by saying Marty still likes her?
- Should Rory have kept Marty a secret, even with his weirdness?
- Lorelai wanted more kids with Luke – so why is she unsure with Chris? Is Gigi a part, or does it go deeper?
- Is Chris testing Lorelai’s commitment?
- Is Anna being vindictive, or protective, in banning April from seeing Luke?

- Should Lorelai just go along with the other wedding? To make everyone happy? Why doesn’t she want to?
- Is Chris right to be hurt that Lorelai doesn’t want a wedding with him?
- Should Luke sue for custody of April?
- Why does Logan tell Lucy about Marty & Rory? Should he have kept silent? Did he do it out of honesty or jealousy?

- Why do Chris & Luke fight? What motivates each guy?
- Should Lucy & Olivia be that mad at Rory?

[...] a cute fan video featuring scenes from "Merry Fisticuffs" and "Santa’s Secret [...]
Anna is being a big pain in the asterick!!!!! Luke is right. April is his kid too and he should have a right to see her. So, vote for Luke!!! Logan was being stupid too. I couldn’t believe he would spill Rory’s secret like that. What a jerk! And he wants to marry her???? And don’t even get me started on Christopher! What is he thinking, trying to force Lorelai out of Stars Hollow? When he asked her is she wanted more kids and she said, “I don’t know…maybe.” He should’ve just listened to her instead of automatically changing her “maybe” into a “yes”!! Guys really suck in this episode, except for Luke!!!! Women really suck in this episode too, except for Lorelai and Rory of course. They could never suck!!!!
This episode just highlights further that the marriage was all wrong, and escalates the beginning of the end of it. The Marty drama escalates the Rory relationship further.
