It is interesting that the show had him behave in ways that other pivotal characters didn't see.
I love that you mention this. I swear, 95% of all the Gilmore Girl problems we see can be traced back to miscommunication and things like this. One particular example I noticed after a re-watch is how Lorelai hides that she was drinking with Christopher after Chris' dad died. Because, facts straight, it's not that bad a thing. But the only reason she hides it is because of Rory, and Rory is only acting on it because of her own experience with her dad, because she demanded he stay away from Luke and Lorelai thinking he would mess things up. It's so ironic how Rory's the one who ends up messing things up. It's so frustrating, but that's how most of the drama on the show was.
I think the OOCness is why a lot of the audience didn't like April. They blamed a new character for what was just actually an old character acting out of character. I appreciate the April we see in AYITL more. I liked her panicking and the nose ring and all of that. Weird though how formal in a way her relationship with Lorelai was up until that point. Because based on the birthday party in the original series, you would've thought they'd at least gotten a little closer.
Plus, I'm still shaking my fist at the fact that we didn't get a Luke and April and Jess scene. Or Doula! I'd hoped that we would have met an older Doula in AYITL.
