Welcome back to Talking ‘Ship, a non-fictional podcast about fictional relationships,  hosted by Megan Fitzgerald and Katie Buderwitz. This season we’re talking about Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore of Gilmore Girls. This episode we'll discuss ALL the people that these two date before they find their way to each other.... and it's a lot of people. First we’re going to recap the four seasons worth of other relationships (Max Medina, Christopher Hayden, Rachel, Nicole, Digger Styles, and a few questionable randoms).What is it like to watch your big “what if” person date other people? How do we handle it? How do we cope? Do we buddy up with their significant other, or do we fully demonize them in an unhealthy way? Then we break down each of these relationships and what Luke and Lorelai learned from each of them: Do you have an old flame from your past you haven’t worked through such as Rachel or Christopher? Maybe you need to give it one more shot to move past them.How do you end a relationship with someone who is *almost right for you* like a Max or a Nicole? What is that “I didn’t want to try on my wedding dress” feeling?How infuriating is it to watch your crush date a million random people? Do we all need a casual dating phase? Or are some of us not meant to be casual daters?Megan and Katie also share their unsolicited advice for how to handle watching your big “what if” person date somebody else. And we'll wrap things up with ALL ABOARD, where we share some moments that got us fully ON BOARD with this 'ship.
