‘Gilmore Girls’: The Reason Alex Lesman Didn’t Talk as Fast as Lorelai
Alex Lesman (Billy Burke) was one of Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham)’s boyfriends on Gilmore Girls.

Unpopular ‘Gilmore Girls’ Opinion: Luke and Lorelai Were Better as Friends
Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore are largely considered the endgame couple of Gilmore Girls. The episode featuring their first kiss is the most highly-rated episode of the entire series. Fans have spent years discussing everything wrong with everyone else the duo dated. ‘While we don’t deny Luke and Lorelai had great chemistry leading up to their first kiss, we don’t necessarily know if they were right for each other long term. We think, perhaps, Luke and Lorelai were better off as friends.

Sure, the duo was attracted to each other and cared deeply about one another, but they didn’t have much else in common. Luke enjoyed camping and fishing, while Lorelai liked watching movies and town meetings.

Gilmore Girls may have been mostly about the Gilmore family, but several other key characters factored heavily into the show. During its seven-season run, the series had a ton of different storylines featuring the main characters and the residents of Stars Hollow.
