Gilmore Girls

[EmilyBronte]

Maybe sharing his new wealth with Lorelai is also to pay her back (literally) for raising Rory all on her own. From what we've seen of Christopher, I doubt he paid any child support!

I really hope that is all there is to it. I used to like them together, but that was back before Sherry got pg with GG. I definitely think Luke is more "Lorelai" and will be so mad at A S-P if she writes a L&L breakup!

[bunnybeth]

Could it have been a commerical for ABC Family? They are showing reruns of Season 5 now, and yesterday was the break-up episode where Luke says that line or something very close to it.
Nope, it was a "Fresh on the WB" type of commercial. And, followed by a Supernatural commercial, so that confirms it was for last night's ep. But, didn't last week's preview for this week also imply the relationship mystery problem that Lorelei never encountered last night?

[KaliLily]

I definitely think Luke is more "Lorelai" and will be so mad at A S-P if she writes a L&L breakup!

I don't think I can take another L&L break-up. Last season's break-up still makes me cry whenever I see those episodes. I'm such a sap.

[Chylynn]

So, what did you all think of this episode? I thought it was pretty good, but I am a little irritated with Luke not owning up to his daughter to Lorelai. I love the fact that Christopher is going to pay for Yale for Rory. Someone in this thread predicted that, so I was not too surprised. Does anyone else like Rory's new haircut? I think it looks really cute on her.

[Wrighty26]

I think that last night's episode is setting us up for some really serious stuff.

I think Luke's hesitance about telling Lorelei about April is very realistic, especially if the kid wants nothing to do with Luke. Plus, given Lorelei's history with Chris, she may not be the most sympathetic ear at the moment. I'm not saying Luke shouldn't tell her-- but maybe he should figure out what he wants first. I thought it was sweet that he told Liz, I'm just hoping she can keep her mouth shut.

As for Chris-- him paying for Yale is going to have HUGE repercussions on Rory's relationship with Richard and Emily. Remember when Lorelei paid them back for Chilton? They were pissed!

I really hope that L/L don't break up, again. If anything, I hope that this plotline goes on to show how strong their relationship is. I guess we'll see!

[twinnyme]

I liked the episode - and I'm glad that Lane is getting a bigger role, but Zack is getting SO annoying. Just seems an out-of-place storyline to me.

I thought it was sweet that he told Liz, I'm just hoping she can keep her mouth shut.

I was thinking the same thing! I think that may actually be how he "tells" Lorelai. We'll see.

Does anyone else like Rory's new haircut? I think it looks really cute on her.

I like it a lot! Is the color different, too?

There are still a LOT of different things going on (in terms of storylines). It'll be interesting to see how everything ties together.

ITA. I was really bummed that Luke didn't tell Lor about the daughter, but time will tell...
Zack is annoying, but Brian was so sweet. I want to know what's gonna happen with Logan, too. it was interesting that Honour called Rory.

[twinnyme]

it was interesting that Honour called Rory.

Interesting, and odd - did you catch that it seemed Rory thought they were just on a "break" ("hiatus" as she told her mother) and then Honour said Logan had told her they'd "broken up" (as in for good)? At least, that's how I perceived Rory's reaction!

[houseblend]

That's exactly how I saw it. She seemed really disappointed and sad after hearing that Logan didn't also think they were only on a break. I'm curious if this is the end until they'll have them run into each other at Yale? I think I'm in the minority, but I'm not ready for him to be gone altogether yet!

BTW, good call on the poster that guessed what Christopher would propose.

I was also disappointed Luke didn't say anything to Lorelei, especially how after last week he got so upset with her for not telling him the moment Chris called. Although, this certainly seems to be helping him to be more easy-going about her relationship with Chris.

I've never been a huge fan of Zach. Maybe this is leading to bringing Brian and Lane together?

ITA with this. I interpreted as Rory thought they had had a fight and I guess (from Honor) that Logan decided that they had broken up. Remember that this is Logan's first serious relationship so he may be a little clueless. Rory seemed really hurt when she came back to the table.

I thought it was a pretty good episode except for the Lane-Zack story. What the heck is wrong with Zack. Why is he such a loser. Why is Lane with him? Aargh.

[PookiePrincess]

BTW, good call on the poster that guessed what Christopher would propose.

Yay! That was me!

I just think it will put a whole new dimension to their relationship with Richard and Emily. Finally, Emily will have to realize that blackmailing them to come to Friday night dinners is not the way to have them in her life. Lorelai has already told Emily that she never lost her. It's time for Emily to grow up and treat Lorelai like her daughter and Rory like her granddaughter. It will be interesting to see how she reacts when she finds out though!

I, too, wish Luke would have just told Lorelai. The longer he waits, the more hurt she's going to be that he hid it from her. I realize that he should figure out what he wants to do about it, but he's engaged to Lorelai...they're supposed to figure these things out together. I think him being so supportive of the Christopher thing is him realizing that he is and will be in that situation very soon. I hope Liz doesn't do anything stupid. She's not too bright.

I think Rory thought they had just had a fight and would patch things up. It really caught her off guard that Logan thought they broke up. I think maybe it shows that Logan wasn't as invested as she was...or has no clue how these things are supposed to go. I don't like Logan, but it was kinda sad.

The Zach storyline was kinda stupid. He needs to grow up. Big deal, Brian wrote a song about Lane. How does he think Lane feels, him writing songs about every girl he's ever known/been with except her. I wish Lane would break up with him and date someone NOT in her band.

[PookiePrincess]

Oh, and I LOVE what they've done to Lorelai's house! I love the bedroom/bathroom. I'm glad they're not getting the Twickham house and staying in her house.

[houseblend]

Yay! That was me!

Good call Pookie! :)

I agree - the remodeled house is very nice. I'd love to live there!

[Gracie]

I missed the last few minutes of the show.....were there previews for the next episode?

[LeslieandPaul]

Luke needs to tell Lorelai!!! They can't drag this out anymore, but I'm glad he told Liz.
Poor Rory. It would suck to find out your boyfriend thinks you've broken up from his sister!

[KaliLily]

I missed the last few minutes of the show.....were there previews for the next episode?

Nope. And I think we'll have to wait at least 2 weeks for a new episode, as the "Felicity" movie will be on next Tuesday at 8pm. :(

[Abby'sMom]

Nope. And I think we'll have to wait at least 2 weeks for a new episode, as the "Felicity" movie will be on next Tuesday at 8pm.


It's even worse than that: They're on winter hiatus now. The next new episode airs on 1/10.

[LeslieandPaul]

Nope. And I think we'll have to wait at least 2 weeks for a new episode, as the "Felicity" movie will be on next Tuesday at 8pm. :(

Ugh. Why would they make a movie? Don't they know we want to watch Gilmore Girls?!

[KaliLily]

It's even worse than that: They're on winter hiatus now. The next new episode airs on 1/10.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Now, that's just rude!

OK, is it just me, or did there not used to be a "winter hiatus" back in the day. The way I remember it, shows started in the fall and continued until Spring, then we had reruns in the summer. Was I just too busy being a kid (playing) & teen (trolling for boy) to notice the winter break?

[kugrrly]

I was under the impression that Lane and Zach kind of broke up

[houseblend]

It's even worse than that: They're on winter hiatus now. The next new episode airs on 1/10.

Ugh! That is getting to be so annoying! GG is one of the few shows I actually look forward to nowadays. :(

[jeepgirl]

GG is one of the few shows I actually look forward to nowadays.

DITTO to that! :(

[suzubeane]

Did anyone else think about the fact that Luke's daughter's science project pretty much made her mom look like a slut? That didn't bother me too much until THIS episode when we find out (according to what Liz said) that Luke was a serial monogamist. So he was seeing April's Mom only, and she was sleeping around!

Poor Rory. It would suck to find out your boyfriend thinks you've broken up from his sister!I think we're going to find out that he said that rather than face all the questions from his family, or to get them off his back. And that will be yet another indication of what they'll have to face if they stay together, since his family disapproves so much.

By the same token, I think we're going to find out that Zak has been writing songs about Lane and giving the girls other names. ;). I really expected him to say that after he sabotaged the band's performance.

By the way, I missed a few episodes (and I don't tend to read this thread since GG is not shown in my market 'til Saturday) but is Rory back in school NOW? or is she going back? If it's now, how did she start mid-semester?

[kugrrly]

She is not back yet. She spoke to an advisor and they renrolled her.

[JamBray]

I thought this was another great episode, but I do wish that Luke had told Lorelei about his daugther (although I do think it was cool he confided in Liz). It will be interesting to see how this storyline plays out and what it does to their relationship (hopefully only makes it stronger).

I'm wondering what they're going to do with Rory and Logan. Since he doesn't know she's going back to Yale, I foresee some sort of ackward encounter at school, them not speaking to each other right away to sort things out, and then possibly a reunion (although I would like to see her with someone else).
That didn't bother me too much until THIS episode when we find out (according to what Liz said) that Luke was a serial monogamist. So he was seeing April's Mom only, and she was sleeping around!

Well, not necessarily. I mean we don't know how long Luke dated Anna (is that her name?), so they could possibly have only gone out for a couple of weeks to a month or two, then right after their breakup she might have immediately slept with two other guys. Since a lot of women on TV have no idea about their cycles (Lorelei took a pregnancy test, what, a week after she slept with Luke?), she'd be clueless as to when she conceived, therefore not knowing who the dad was.

Okay, I'm talking about these people like they're real. :p

[MrsD108]

I should of read this thread more. My DH thought I was nuts because I was flipping out last night looking for the show. Stupid computer said it was on.:mad:

[richgal]

(Hope this hasn't already been posted...)

From the "Watch with Kristin" chat transcript on E! Online:

From logan1060: I read in EW that the creators of Gilmore Girls got another show greenlighted and they may not stay for the next season of GG 'cause the new show films in New York. Is that true? 'Cause that would suck!
'Tis true. It's almost too much to bare to think of GG going, on top of Alias and Arrested, but it is starting to look like this might be the last season of Gilmore Girls. Amy Sherman-Palladino is not on board for next season, and I believe that perhaps some of the someones attached to the show might feel it's time to let it go.


:( :( :( Kristin's been known to be wrong before, so let's hope she is this time, too.

[KaliLily]

That's odd. Before this season began, there was an interview with ASP where she said that the show was planned to run for 7 years (the series finale to coincide with Rory's college graduation) and that Lauren and Alexis are under contract for 7 years. The big issue then was that Scott Patterson (Luke) was on a 6 year contract, as in the beginning he was "just another townie." ASP said they were working on signing Scott for the 7th season.

[richgal]

Yeah, I remember reading that too, and thinking that NEXT season would be the last one... I guess we'll see what happens.

[PookiePrincess]

ASP always said she wanted to do 7 seasons, with the finale being Rory's Yale graduation. This is the new news on Spoiler Fix:

11/29 - "[Gilmore Girls] is definitely coming back for at least one more year," says Dan [Palladino], but neither [he or his wife] could confirm whether they'd be going on with it. Source: Entertainment Weekly [Note: The WB has not confirmed that Gilmore Girls would get a 7th season.]

They do lots of the episodes that the Palladino's don't write, but I don't see how they would go on with a final season without them. Especially since Amy SP has said that she has mostly already written the finale, it's just a matter of when it will be.

[houseblend]

No, no, no!!! Between this and 7th Heaven, these are the only shows I really watch now. I can't lose them both the same year! :( What will I watch next year? I must branch out and find other shows for my down time now! Any suggestions anyone?

[PookiePrincess]

WB didn't announce that there would be a 6th season until it was summer. GG is one of their most watched shows...they're not that stupid to rob us of the final season.

[KaliLily]

WB is already losing 7th Heaven. You'd think they wouldn't want another long-running, high ratings show to go. I'm hoping that will keep Charmed around another year, too! They were almost axed at the end of last season!

[jmvan74]

I don't want GG to go. boo hoo! I love it.

[Aimee]

I don't think I could handle losing Gilmore Girls and Arrested Development in the same year.

Hopefully, this Kristin hussy is wrong about GG. Otherwise, I'm going to have a very empty Season Pass list on TiVo. :(

[Jenessa]

OMG! GG has to be one of my favorite shows ever. I truly hope that they do get a Season 7 even if ASP and her hubby won't be writing or whatever.

To mrsD108: I totally know what you mean. I was flipping out too when GG wasn't on this week. I was thinking that I had on the wrong channel. lol. Then I saw a commercial for next week's GG episode and I guess they are doing a rerun from Season 5. It is the episode where Emily and Richard renew their marriage.

[Persian]

I hate this I wait all week for this night and then it gets here and it is a flipping rerun. I HATE RERUN's

[Brandian]

I agree, I hate reruns too. They give us something to look forward to, then they just stop for a few weeks, it drives me crazy!

[adamseve]

I had an Alexis Bledel (Rory) sighting this weekend. I was at a Junior League event at the Century Plaza hotel in LA. I was in charge of seating people at their tables - meaning I had to stand by the door for 1.5 hours BUT I had a direct view of Alexis the entire time. She asked me where to find the restroom ... heehee! I get such a kick out of celebrity sightings!

http://www.centuryplaza.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/

ps) My husband got a kick out of seeing "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and Hulk Hogan standing in the lobby. It was a very random day.

http://www.dogthebountyhunter.com/main.php

[houseblend]

That's so cool, adamseve!!! Lucky you! :)

[Brandy]

I think we can all relax about GG not coming back next season!

Question: Rumor has it that since the Palladinos have the green light on a new show for next year, this might be the last season for Gilmore Girls. Is there any truth to this? Are we really not going to get a Season 7? — Jackie

Ausiello: Relax. There's little doubt Gilmore will be back in the fall. Not only is it, like, 13 viewers away from eclipsing Smallville as WB's most-watched show, but Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are already contracted for a seventh year. And guess who's also on board for next season? Scott frakkin' Patterson. That's right; reliable sources tell me his deal just closed. Now, the only question is whether Team Palladino — whose pact expires in May — will be at the helm of what is widely expected to be the show's farewell season. My gut tells me Amy and Dan will be back, albeit in a somewhat reduced capacity since they'll be juggling both GG and their new, as-yet-untitled, Big Apple-based romantic comedy.

I haven't. Where'd ya see it? The WB?

[PookiePrincess]

I didn't see it on tv, but found it online. Apparently is aired last night during 7th Heaven (though if they aired it last night, I'm sure they'll show it tonight during GG). Let me see if I can find it again!

It's not much, but here it is...

[KaliLily]

Boy they know how to tease us, don't they?!?! Personally, I don't think the "terrible terrible mistake" Lorelai was talking to Rory about has anything to do with Luke/Lorelai/April. I think it's about Rory and Logan.

[PookiePrincess]

Spoilers for the new episodes:

[ Episode 6.11: The Perfect Dress
Airdate: January 10, 2006

Feeling that he has missed too much and wants to get to know his newly discovered daughter April (Vanessa Marano, who does not appear in the episode), Luke goes to have a talk with her mother, his former girlfriend Anna Nardini (guest star Sherilyn Fenn). Meanwhile, Lorelai sets a date for the wedding after finding the perfect dress, but she is worried by the nagging feeling that something is about to go wrong. Back at Yale, Rory happily moves into a dingy off-campus apartment with Paris and Doyle, and tries to avoid running into Logan. However, when Logan shows up at her apartment and declares his love for her, Rory breaks down.

Episode 6.12: Just Like Gwen and Gavin
Airdate: Winter 2006

While at work, Luke shows signs that he hasn't slept much. Lorelai wakes up so early that she gets a lot done in the wee hours of morning compared to what she usually does. Kirk is organizing the Winter Carnival. Lorelai has volunteered to man a carnival booth. She will get help from Rory to take care of her booth, "The Amazing Doggy Sawmi." It appears the Luke may not have told Lorelai about April yet. At the Inn , Lorelai takes care of the New England Maple Syrup Council. Lane works at a Carnival booth. Zach is jealous of time she spends with a 30-year-old Asian man named Joe. At the Yale Daily News, Paris is making everyone except Rory uncomfortable with her demands, expectations and ideas. Later, the reporters gather together and talk about their Paris-problem and the fact that they think the paper is going to crap. They didn't ask Rory to be part of the "council" since she's living with Paris and is a friend but when Rory sees them in a "meeting" they confide in her. In the hope to start patching things up with Rory, Logan hires the guy in charge of the coffee cart to follow her around all day so she has instant access to coffee. Logan drops by the Inn . could it be to get Lorelai's help?

Episode 6.13: Friday Night's Alright for Fighting
Airdate: Winter 2006

[This episode] marks the long-awaited return of Friday-night dinners at the Gilmore manse. This is the first time Emily, Richard, Lorelai and Rory will be alone in the same room together since the Big Split of '05 last May, so expect the Amy Sherman-Palladino-penned outing to be brimming with cathartic outbursts. And it's not just recent events that get dredged up during the meal-cum-melee, which goes on for a record eight scenes.
12/15 - Sookie and Lorelai are planning Lorelai's wedding. They visit a flower market. Kirk works at a sample table in Taylor's shop. They are giving free samples of a new European hot chocolate. Lorelai goes into Taylor's shop so that she can spy on April who's at Luke's Diner doing her homework and eating. Babette and Miss Patty join Lorelai who tells them about April. They all comment on the fact that Luke has a kid and wonder if Lorelai and April will get along. Rory seems to be helping Paris run the newspaper. Logan visits Rory. Richard also appears.
12/21 - Sean - and Kirk - will both be returning next season. Oh, and this just in: David Sutcliffe will be back for at least five more episodes this season.

All from Spoilerfix.

Why, oh why can't Christopher just go away????]

[Sazoo]

Thanks for the great spoilers! :D

[PookiePrincess]

A couple more spoilers...

Jan 10th Episode: Rory and Lorelai return from Atlantic City bearing gifts; über wedding planner Sookie helps Lorelai, who finds the perfect dress, while Luke makes a surprise trip to see his old girlfriend (Sherilyn Fenn) and mother of his daughter; and Rory moves in with Paris and Doyle, and has an emotional confrontation with Logan. Source: TV Guide Online

Jan 17th Episode: Luke's delay in telling Lorelai about April puts him in an awkward spot when the 12-year-old asks to spend a day at the diner. Elsewhere, Logan goes to great lengths to get back in favor with Rory; Paris's reign of terror at the paper leaves the staff planning a coup; Zack gets jealous when he sees Lane with another man; and Kirk runs the annual Stars Hollow Winter Carnival when Taylor is snowed in at his sister's. Source: TV Guide Online


So Rory and Lorelai do get to do the Atlantic City thing they talked about from her 21st b-day. And I'm guessing Luke tells Lorelai about April either in the Jan 17th epi or the one the 24th. Though from the spoilers I've read, I'm leaning toward maybe the end of the Jan 17th epi.

[PookiePrincess]

Another spoiler:

Jan. 17th Episode: Knowing he has let too much time go by, Luke is still unable to tell Lorelai about the existence of his 12-year-old daughter, April (Vanessa Marano), and he is thrown into a panic when April wants to hang out with him at the diner. When April and Lorelai both show up at the diner and begin chatting, April innocently explains that Luke is her father. Lorelai tries to be supportive, even offering to postpone the wedding date, but Luke's reaction to this idea leaves her confused and hurt. Back at Yale, Logan takes unusual steps to win Rory back, and the newspaper staff rebels against Paris' reign of terror at the Yale Daily News. Meanwhile, Stars Hollow holds its annual Winter Carnival, and Lorelai and Rory run a booth featuring their dog, Paul Anka, as a fortune teller. Sherilyn Fenn guest stars as Ana Nardini. Keiko Agena, Liz Torres and Sean Gunn also star. Source: The WB


I'm so not happy that Luke isn't the one to tell Lorelai. After all his big talk about honesty and the Christopher stuff, it really bothers me that he just didn't tell her. I guess we'll have to see what happens!

[Sazoo]

Kristi, I agree with what you said about that last spoiler. :rolleyes:

[looch]

Spoiler no more, it was in the scenes for the next episode, but not to that level of detail. All I can say is that I am pretty disappointed in Luke.

[houseblend]

About the spoilers:

I'm so happy to see Logan fighting for Rory. I know many aren't fans of his, but there's something I like about him. I'm also very disappointed in Luke. Since he did not tell Lorelei, I would think she would lose a lot of trust in him, especially after all his ranting about her not always being upfront about Christopher.

DH gave me Season 1 for Christmas. Yeah! I haven't seen most of the episodes from that season, so I'm looking forward to watching.

[MrsD108]

I am so excited for next tuesday. Thank you PookiePrincess for the great spoilers

[cc8]

Drat! Did GG air last night? I missed it!

[LeslieR]

I thought it was a rerun? TiVo didn't record it...

[Southlooper]

I was watching the GG reruns yesterday (the one where Rory made her debut at the DAR ball and the one where Logan gave Rory the Berkin bag) when it occured to me how similar Logan and Christopher are. They're both men who are from rich families, don't have any "real" responsibility but are expected to follow the family traditon and maintain a certain lifestyle/social status without really finding our what they really want out of life. I wonder is Rory wasn't born, would Christopher ended up like Logan?

Frued would have a field day with this...

[bunnybeth]

Last night was a rerun, but they aired the preview for next week's new episode at the end. I tuned in hoping they would do just that.

When Lorelei comes down the stairs in a wedding gown looking so giddy and Luke looks so... not happy. Oh, it's making me nervous. I hope nothing breaks them up again!

[PookiePrincess]

Thank you PookiePrincess for the great spoilers

You're welcome! I check them daily, as I am a very impatient person, so I figured I'd share what I found to be interesting!:D

Something I found out about the Lorelai wedding dress (from Ask Ausiello from TV Guide):
Question: Just saw your story about Lorelai's wedding dress in the new TV Guide and, to me, it looks ugly on her. Why did AS-P and Lauren choose it? — Stephanie

Ausiello: Well, I urge Gilmore Girls addicts everywhere to go pick up a copy of the new TV Guide magazine (on sale Thursday with NCIS on the cover) and judge for yourselves. I, personally, thought the dress was a little plain-Jane, but as AS-P pointed out, her mission was twofold: To find a dress that Lorelai would like and Lauren would wear. No easy task. "I wanted Lauren to feel pretty in it, [but at the same time] the dress Lorelai would wear and the dress Lauren would wear would be two completely different dresses. Lauren would probably wear something a little sleeker. Lorelai would wear something probably a little funkier."


Other general info spoilers: (Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide)
01/04 - Here are some other subjects AS-P tackled during our brief chat last week. L&L wedding this season? "I don't know. It's very possible." Trouble ahead for L&L? "We like up and down courses. We don't like one straight line. So, there's going to be some troubles ahead, but we all know that Luke and Lorelai belong together. Whatever troubles that they hit, there's a deep belief that, at some point, these two people really should just suck it up and get it over with." Rumors that Kirk won't be back next season? "Bulls--t." Marty? "We're looking for the right spot to bring him back because we love him. We don't have it yet, but we are looking for it." Negotiations for Season 7? "We're nowhere. We're not in negotiations, we don't have a contract, and frankly, right now, we're just trying to get to Christmas without dropping dead."

01/04 - Here's what Amy Sherman-Palladino had to say about Christopher's return: "You know, he's paying for Yale now. It's his way back into his daughter's life. It felt organic. It shouldn't just be he writes a check and then we never see him again." And will his five-episode comeback - which AS-P says will be "sprinkled" throughout the season's remaining nine episodes - have an impact on L&L? " will," she teases, "but not in the way people are expecting." Chris visits Rory at Yale in Episode 14.

The return of Friday-night dinners in Episode 13: "I just saw some of the footage. It hasn't quite been cut together yet, but I was just over there panicking about it 'cause when you're there seeing it shot, it's always completely different than when you see it on a tiny little screen and you're like, 'Oh, I thought it would be different.' [But] I was actually very pleased and I think a lot of it translated just the way we wanted it to. It was very cathartic in a way because we really haven't had that. It was an entire act of just those four people locked in a house together. It's great. "

[I]My thoughts:
-I don't like the whole "rough patch" thing. I know it tends to get boring, but they can't keep breaking them up! But they are both stubborn, so I guess it will happen. I bet they'll get married early next season.
-I think it's interesting that they want to bring Marty back. Someone mentioned in this thread that he's like Rory's Luke. I think that's true and Rory has to be ready to be with him, like it took Lorelai so long to realize that Luke was waiting for her.
-How can Chris impact Luke and Lorelai, but not in the way we think?
-I'm so ready for episode 14 (return to Fri night dinners) to be here! I can't wait for all the crap to get drug up again. And to see how Emily takes it that they aren't paying for Yale anymore. That'll be a classic Gilmore conflict episode!

[vancouvergirl]

...it occured to me how similar Logan and Christopher are.

I wonder is Rory wasn't born, would Christopher ended up like Logan?

hmmm, very interesting.

[PookiePrincess]

I agree with that to an extent, but Christopher always said if Lorelai hadn't gotten pregnant, he wouldn't have made it at an Ivy League College. I think Chris would have put his foot down more than Logan will. But, also, I think Logan eventually will break, and try to make his dad realize that's not what he wants. But I don't think it'll make a difference. He likes his rich, playboy lifestyle too much. (here we go...talking like these are real people again!)

[LeslieandPaul]

Paul's cousin is coming over tomorrow to watch Gilmore Girls with me. We love this show!

[jmvan74]

Can't wait to see tonight's episode! I like the Christopher/ Logan connection. Very nicely done. :D

[kugrrly]

wohooo new episode tonight!!!! :)

[houseblend]

I can't wait!!! :D

[KaliLily]

What a great episode! And that preview left me desperately wanting more!

I am a little wigged out that the actress playing April's mom is the same one who played Jess' dad's girlfriend, but I can deal. :)

I won't go into details since the Western half haven't seen it yet. Just had to express my happiness with tonight's show. So glad I taped it so I can rewatch it during the week. :D

[espresso]

Recap! Help! I only made it half-way through! AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I managed to delete it from tivo. What an idiot I am!

I watched up until Luke talked with the ex girlfriend...then what happened?

[jeepgirl]

And I MISSED IT ALL TOGETHER. My car was stuck by the side of the road... and I had to get it towed to the dealership. Glad I'm home safely now, but VERY SAD I didn't get my GG fix! Luckily a friend of mine has tivo and I asked her to save it for me.

[PookiePrincess]

Luke talked to Anna and told her he wanted to contribute, but no contact. Then he went on the internet and found April's website with all these pictures and it made him rethink it. He called Anna back and told her he wanted contact, visitation, a relationship with his daughter.

Lane is back with her mom, helping in the store. Zach came over looking for a certain CD and she told him she didn't have it and to go away, and practically kicked him out. Later Lane was stalking up to her room and Mrs. Kim told her to come back this instant. She told Lane to help her with the windows. They went around the entire house and pulled the shades down. Then they went into the kitchen and Mrs. Kim pulled out her secrect alcohol bottle and told Lane it was time she get over it (basically). She was surprised at the alcohol!

Rory had to go to the Yale psychologist because she dropped out and it's a requirement to reinroll. Before going, Logan was waiting at her apartment when she got there. They had it out about breaking up. She told him if he wanted to be with her, why did he tell his sister they broke up? Then he told her he loved her. She went to the appointment and blew up and broke down about Logan loving her. Because of the outburst, she has to see the psychologist once a week for 2 months.

Lorelai found the perfect wedding dress but still felt like something wasn't right about it. So she tried it on to make sure. Luke came in to tell her about April and Lorelai told him she was coming downstairs in her dress. She asked him if there was anything wrong with it and he said no. Of course, he couldn't tell her about April then. And it ended with this really torn Luke standing alone in Lorelai's living room.

[Mellow_Water1]

That reminds me, I must have missed or forgotten what happened to Lane. What did she grieve about?

[kugrrly]

her boyfriend went on quite the rampage at the last gig they had, and they broke up in the parking lot.

[Whitters20]

I think Lane is upset about her break up with Zack. They had their big fight right before the hiatus. They never really said that they were breaking up but it was implied. Although Zack did ask Lane to go upstairs with him to find his CD so I'm thinking he wanted to talk to her because he misses her too.

Did anyone else find Paris extremely annoying in this episode? And not in a good way.

[kugrrly]

Paris was bad.

as my dad says "the show could do with a little less Paris"

[espresso]

Thank you Pookie Princess!

Ugh. Still mad I missed it!

So I got the DVDs for Christmas (yippy!) and I am rewatching everything from the beginning. I am now somewhere in season 2 so it was wierd to go from high school Rory to college Rory. DH thinks she doesn't look as cute as she used too. I thought looked she looked fine except she was pale. It was also wierd (and kinda fun!) to go form the flirtly Luke and Loralai to the engaged Luke and Loralai!

I LOVE this show!

[PookiePrincess]

You're welcome!!!!!

[Mellow_Water1]

Yeah, it was this episode when I realized just how pale Rory is. I think her hair color has something to do with it. Thanks for the info on Lane! I do remember how he screwed up their gig, but never made the connection that they broke up over it. I guess the hiatus was too long for me!

[houseblend]

I thought tonight's episode was really good. I was so happy to see Logan tell Rory he loves her. I'm glad she didn't give right in, though. I think the sessions with the counselor will be interesting.

Mrs. Kim was so sweet the way she pulled out her alcohol stash and told Lane it was time to move on. Lane seemed so surprised and happy to see this side of her mom. I loved when she said, "One more!"

[Mellow_Water1]

Mrs. Kim is adorable :)

I don't know, this is just not one of my favorites. But maybe my judgement is clouded because I can't get over the Luke/April storyline. It's too dramatic for my taste.

[kugrrly]

I don't know, this is just not one of my favorites. But maybe my judgement is clouded because I can't get over the Luke/April storyline. It's too dramatic for my taste.


I am feeling the same way.

[PookiePrincess]

It is a bit dramatic, but they can't just have Luke and Lorelai get married and be perfect for the remainder of the series. I think since they had the conflict before with the Gilmore's and Emily/Christopher butting in, now it is time for Luke's past to interfere. I think it's perfect though (especially that the parallel is between Lorelai's past with Chris and now Luke's past with April). Luke is such a tough guy. If Anna had approached him at the time 12 years ago, who knows what he would have done. But after all he's been through and his relationship with Lorelai and Rory, I think that helped him want a relationship with April.

I think it's a bit dramatic, but I think it's a nice twist. I just don't like how Luke ends up handling it. After all his talk about trust and no secrets with the Christopher thing, it just makes him look like a hypocrite.

[PookiePrincess]

I am a little wigged out that the actress playing April's mom is the same one who played Jess' dad's girlfriend, but I can deal.

I think she looks much better now than she did then (wasn't it season 3?). I didn't even put that together!

[KaliLily]

I think she looks much better now than she did then (wasn't it season 3?). I didn't even put that together!

I believe it was Season 3, and yes she looks much better now. It was the voice that made the connection for me.

Hmm...Is there a Gilmore Girls Trivia game? Maybe I should make one. I need some cash! :D

[mgrace]

Loved Mrs. Kim doing shots. :) And when Rory was meeting with her therapist and she broke down and was crying and said, "I'm a real treat". Hee.

[mgrace]

Oh, and here is a link to the preview for next week (http://thewb.warnerbros.com/web/show_episode.jsp?id=GG612)

[cocoa_femme]

Man, I won't get to see it until Saturday. The darn Pistons had a game on the WB last night.

[mom_to_zoe]

I can't believe no one has commented on Lorelei's wedding dress! For the record, I liked it on the hanger but I did not think it looked good on Lorelei when she came downstairs in it. I didn't think the top came up far enough.

I actually loved Paris in this episode. I thought her "tour" of the apartment was hilarious. And I loved the way she dressed down Logan.

Logan is an ass, by the way.

Definitely enjoyed the episode, but I just don't get my Luke can't tell Lorelei about April. It's not as if he and Lorelei were together when Luke got April's mom pregnant. It really shouldn't be a big deal in their relationship, but now it will be because Luke kept it from her for so long.

[jesseybell]

I was so happy that GG is finally back.

Ummm? Doesn't Paris have $? I thought the apartment was a little much (or should I say a little less) especially the description of the neighborhood. I was pretty annoyed by how Paris acted at the newspaper meeting. I thought she had changed. But the self-defense thing did add humor.

Mother Lane doing shots - "priceless"

The whole April storyline seems so fake. Once she figured out who her dad is, Mom doesn't try to contact Luke or anything? How Lorelei finds out next week is just so wrong.

I am glad that they had is snowing in Stars Hollow seeing that when Rory was going over for 2nd semester of school it looked like late Septemeber, not January.

Not a big fan of the wedding dress, yet it does seem so Lorelei.

[KaliLily]

Ummm? Doesn't Paris have $?

Not anymore - at least not until she can access her trust fund. The IRS froze all of her parents' U.S. assets, which included Paris' bank accounts. Her parents are living overseas, hiding from the IRS.

[bunnybeth]

I was really happy when we found out the girls had gotten their Atlantic City trip in, albeit a little late.

I liked when Lorelei was walking around Rory's apartment, just repeating "No! No! No!" at everything she saw. And, at Rory's therapy session, how she seemed the most broken up by the thought of giving up coffee. :p (I hear you, girl.)

Didn't much care for Lorelai's dress on her. It seemed like the bodice was saggy under the bustline. It was just a wierd shape on her.

Luke is definately slacking to not tell Lorelai about April, before his fiancee finds out the truth from the daughter. But, the whole thing feels blown out of proportion. Stupid tv drama.

[Sazoo]

Didn't much care for Lorelai's dress on her. It seemed like the bodice was saggy under the bustline. It was just a wierd shape on her.
ITA. I thought the dress didn't fit her right in the chest & stomach area, & was very unflattering on her. The dress looked prettier hanging up in the store. :p

[LeslieR]

Glad I'm not the only one. I didn't like the dress on her at all. I was thinking that maybe it was because her hair was down with the veil and it just looked weird to me altogether.

[cc8]

I also thought the dress wasn't that flattering on her. It looked like she needed a lot more boobage to hold the dress up.

[houseblend]

ITA. I thought the dress didn't fit her right in the chest & stomach area, & was very unflattering on her. The dress looked prettier hanging up in the store..

ITA! I was nervous it was going to fall down on her! :eek:

Along with this, I've been to New Haven before and there are a lot of very scary parts of town! I was not at all surprised that they would have to live in a neighborhood like that to stay near Yale.

Logan is an ass, by the way.

But he's a cute ass! :o

[JamBray]

I thought last night’s episode was really good. I was a little disappointed when Lorelei popped into the diner to inform Luke that everything for the wedding had been planned though, because I think he would’ve liked to have been included in at least a little of the planning (particularly where and when). I was also surprised that she chose a church, considering she has basically no faith (as shown in the ep with Sookie’s kids baptism). I also did NOT like that dress! Ugh!

I thought the scene with Rory in the psychologist’s office was hysterical and thought Alexis did a good job there. I also think she looks great.

I think it’s great that Luke wants to get involved with April, but I really wish he’d have discussed it with (and told) Lorelei first. I really hope this doesn’t permanently damage their relationship and have it cause the wedding to be called off.
I am a little wigged out that the actress playing April's mom is the same one who played Jess' dad's girlfriend, but I can deal.
I know…and she had a little girl in the other show too, but I can’t remember her name or if she was the biological child of Jess’ dad. Anyone know?
After all his talk about trust and no secrets with the Christopher thing, it just makes him look like a hypocrite.
I agree.

Loved the bonding scene between Lane and her mom. It was nice to see that her mom can be understanding and help Lane get over her break up, despite the fact that she disagrees with pretty much everything Lane does.
Did anyone else find Paris extremely annoying in this episode? And not in a good way.
I didn’t. I absolutely love Paris, and thought her scenes (as always) were too funny, especially the fighting between her and Doyle.

[ginastorm]

Can anyone please post a picture of the dress? I forgot to watch last night!

[JamBray]

[jmvan74]

I loved last night's episode. "What big ears you have Grandma" I was rolling when Rory was at the therapist office. Too much!

Lane and Mrs. Kim doing shots was so sweet. I was glad we were able to see thier relationship start to change.

Logan...I really do like Logan. I'm glad he realized what a jerk he was and that he really does love Rory.

Luke is being a moron. I'm glad he wants a relationship with his daughter, but come on...tell Lor.

[ginastorm]

JamBray, thanks! I don't care too much for the top of the dress, but I love the ribbon around the waist. Wow, it was $7,500!

[Southlooper]

Spoiler!!! (From Spoilerfix.com)

01/11 - Logan and Rory will move in together. While Rory and Logan were apart, Logan was seeing other people. Source: gilmorejunkie

[maplekitty]

In the previews for next week they show Lorelie freaking out over Luke having a daughter and "keeping it secret" from her. But how long has Luke actually known about his daughter? I didn't think it was that long, hes only himself trying to wrap his head around it. I'm surprised to see Lorelie get so hurt by that.

[kugrrly]

I'm surprised to see Lorelie get so hurt by that

same thing I was thinking. it has been what maybe "a month?"

drama dramadrama

[PookiePrincess]

I'm surprised to see Lorelie get so hurt by that.

She's so hurt by it because of the big deal he made about Christopher. The first time Chris called in a year, Luke freaked out and made it into a fight. Then he told her they couldn't/shouldn't have secrets. In Gilmore Girls time, he found out before Thanksgiving (he told Liz about it right before Thanksgiving) and now it's January. So that is 2 months for him to wrap his mind around it and tell her. I think he should from the beginning have told her. Be honest, be a man. He should have sucked it up. It's going to hurt more that he wasn't honest, not the actual fact that he has a daughter.

[Aimee]

I loved Lorelai's dress - I'd guessed it was a Monique L'hullier, because she has sashes like that on some of her other dresses. Of course, I'm a bit biased, since I had a sash on my dress, but I think it suits Lorelai. Pretty, but a bit funky, too.

I'm being a good girl and not reading any of the spoilers - I'm just so happy we're having new episodes that I'm enjoying watching it unfold.

[Sazoo]

I loved Lorelai's dress - I'd guessed it was a Monique L'hullier, because she has sashes like that on some of her other dresses.
Yes it is - I read that somewhere, maybe in a TV Guide article?

:)

[JamBray]

I'm surprised to see Lorelie get so hurt by that.
Adding to what PookiePrincess said, I also think that Lorelei gets so hurt because of the way she finds out...by walking into Luke's and being told by April that her father owns the diner. That would throw me a little too, and I'd want to know why my fiancee was keeping such a big secret from me.

No problem gina! :)

[houseblend]

I was talking to DH about Luke last night. His opinion is that it is such a shock to Luke that he can't admit it to himself, much less to anyone else. I don't really agree, though, since he did tell his sister.

I do think that it is the way Lorelei evidently finds out that hurts her, not the fact that he has a daughter.

[KaliLily]

Yes it is - I read that somewhere, maybe in a TV Guide article?

:)


You're right, Sarah. It was in TV Guide. I snuck a peak at the grocery store. :)

I think the dress is very "Lorelai." I just didn't like the veil with it. The style of the headpiece didn't go with the dress, IMHO.

As for Lorelai's reaction to learning Luke has a daughter, I think it's a combination of how she found out and that he kept it from her for 2 months - after they agreed not to keep things from one another anymore. I do think they can work through it, though. Lorelai was miserable without Luke when they broke up last season. She just needs time to trust him again.

[dh5678]

I am a little wigged out that the actress playing April's mom is the same one who played Jess' dad's girlfriend, but I can deal.

I didn't make that connection until you said it! What about them casting the same actress to play Trix (Richard's mother) and cousin Marilyn?

I also liked the wedding dress better on the mannequin.

[goldengbridge]

Did anyone happen to tape tuesdays episode? My tape ran out and i only got the first 5 mins?

Anyone?

[KaliLily]

I did.

[vwinkel]

First, I love Logan. There is something about him I find appealing. Glad to see him back.

Second, I would FLIP OUT if my FH didn't tell me for a month that he had a daughter. I can understand if Lorelei does.

I am still wondering how long they will continue this romance with Lorelei and Luke since in real life the actors don't like one another. I don't see the spark between them anymore and I would be okay with it if they broke up. (not that anyone is asking my opinion). ;)

[goldengbridge]

Kim, Would you consider sending me your tape. I can pay for shipping and the cost of the tape or and/or I can send it back to you after I watch it?

I had no idea! Where did you hear that? On that note, it seems I never see any of the GG actors on talk shows and such. Not sure if it's bad timing on my part or they just don't appear very much.

[KaliLily]

Kim, Would you consider sending me your tape. I can pay for shipping and the cost of the tape or and/or I can send it back to you after I watch it?

Sure. Contact me via PM and we can arrange something.

[PookiePrincess]

I am still wondering how long they will continue this romance with Lorelei and Luke since in real life the actors don't like one another.

I have never heard that either. But I hate to tell you this, but ASP has said that Luke and Lorelai will wind up together and that they are meant to be together. And even if the actors don't like each other (or maybe they just don't get along all the time...most people don't...remember the Sarah Jessica Parker - Kim Catrall rumors?), that doesn't mean that they can't act like they love each other. They are paid to do that.

[vwinkel]

Honestly, I can't remember where I heard that from. It could have been the WC board.

that doesn't mean that they can't act like they love each other. They are paid to do that
Completely agree. However, I just don't see the warmth between them like we did in the first seasons. Since I heard that rumor, I started paying closer attention.

There was an interview with Brooke Burke a while ago where all of the cast talked about the show. But that has been the only public appearance I've seen in awhile. It was great to see them interact off screen.

[kugrrly]

I heard the same thing about the two of them. I believe it was even in an article in TV Guide.

However, I just don't see the warmth between them like we did in the first seasons. Since I heard that rumor, I started paying closer attention.


I have noticed the same.

[PookiePrincess]

No previews??!? Can't wait for next week!

[houseblend]

No previews??!? Can't wait for next week!

Looks like next week is a rerun. Bummer!

[KaliLily]

Luke broke my heart tonight! Yes, I know Lorelai held the wedding off until she worked things out with Rory, but still... Couldn't Luke see how hurt Lorelai was?!?!?!

[PookiePrincess]

Looks like next week is a rerun. Bummer!

It's not supposed to be. According to tv.com and spoilerfix, the title of the Jan. 24th episode is supposed to be "Friday Night's Alright for Fighting." And there's supposed to be another new epi the week after also.

[Aimee]

Interesting. TiVo isn't showing an episode scheduled for next week. I hope that changes - a billion weeks of hiatus and two new episodes is not enough!

[bunnybeth]

I can't believe both Loralei and Rory softened up to Logan so easily. It just seemed like all he's been doing so far is throwing gifts at her. Sure, it was somewhat humiliating to go to Loralei like that, but she really didn't like him in the first place- she even saw him doing that stupid prank with stealing the nicknack at her parent's house. Or maybe it's all just because I never liked Logan.

The last scene was painful. Loralei told Luke they could put off the wedding, but her eyes said otherwise. And, he sure has changed his tune since his answer to her proposal- he was so enthusiastic back then. Bad feelings on this...

I hope there's a new episode next week- teasing us with just 2 would be mean!

[jmvan74]

I really hope next week's epi is new. Anyhow about last night....
I liked it. Lor has every right to be hurt. Luke basically lied to her. She still knows nothing about this daughter of his or where she came from. As far as the wedding being postponed... I thought it was a little unfair of Lor to set a date with out even talking to Luke first...who does that? Anyhow, what's done is done.
I LOVE logan. He has done a lot of stupid things, but he is not the reason Rory dropped out of Yale or stole the boat. They were here ideas. Plus, I think he's changed since dating her. He doesn't pull as many stupid pranks. The gifts were sweet, the coffee cart was hilarious, but he was just doing what he knows. He's learning. :p
I really like April. I think she is a spunky character and I can see her adding to the already comic banter that takes place on the show.

[msnicolea]

Is it wrong that I still want Lorelai with Christopher? Luke just bugs me.

[mom_to_zoe]

I really like April. I think she is a spunky character and I can see her adding to the already comic banter that takes place on the show

ITA with this. April is quirky and kind of nerdy but very cute. I like how Luke doesn't quite know what to do with her and she is really excited about stuff like filling the salt shakers at the diner.

I agree that Lorelei shouldn't have made all the wedding plans without consulting Luke, but I thought his desire to postpone the wedding came out of the blue. I mean, he was so touched when he saw her in the dress last week.

Can I just say I LOVE Paris? And I loved the Howell Raines reference. This show is so SMART.

[mgrace]

Is it wrong that I still want Lorelai with Christopher? Luke just bugs me.
Yes, it is wrong. ;)

I agree. I still can't stand Logan.

WB shows it as a rerun: http://thewb.warnerbros.com/web/show_episode.jsp?id=GG607

I hope I'm wrong!

I was really impressed with how well Lorelei took Luke having a daughter and especially that he waited so long to tell her. She took some time to come to terms with it but then was so willing to forgive him. I agree she looked so hurt that he wanted to postpone.

I wish they had let us in on what Lorelei wrote in the letter to Rory. Sounds like it was interesting!

[JamBray]

I liked last night’s episode too, and thought that Lorelei handled the whole Luke-having-a-daughter thing really well. I was expecting more of a blow up, especially considering Luke flying off the handle over Christopher calling (even though last year he said that Christopher would always be in Lorelei’s life because of Rory), and then giving the whole speech about them not keeping things from each other (I know I would have gotten a lot angrier and brought all of that up).

I was disappointed that Luke didn’t see the hurt in Lorelei’s eyes about postponing the wedding, but I guess that’s because he’s still so caught up in his stuff.
Is it wrong that I still want Lorelai with Christopher?
Yes, it’s very wrong because Christopher is an ass. :p
Can I just say I LOVE Paris?
Me too! I wish there were more scenes with her.

Even though I’ve never been much of a fan, I thought Zach being jealous over Lane’s uncle was kind of cute too. I wonder if they’ll get back together?

[Rosebud]

I was a little surprised at Lorelai's.... restrained..... reaction to finding out about April. I feel like maybe this hasn't sunk in for her yet, and when it does she's going to freak out. I agree with everyone else who has said that she's going to be more upset about Luke not telling her than Luke having a kid. Lorelai will like April-- she's smart and spunky like Rory. But Luke was WAY wrong to not tell Lorelai the truth sooner. He shouldn't have begun spending time with April without telling his fiancee about it first.

I LOVE logan. He has done a lot of stupid things, but he is not the reason Rory dropped out of Yale or stole the boat. They were her ideas. Plus, I think he's changed since dating her. He doesn't pull as many stupid pranks. The gifts were sweet, the coffee cart was hilarious, but he was just doing what he knows. He's learning.

I totally agree. We've never seen Rory happier and more self-actualized than while she was dating Logan (well, the early days of dating Logan, anyway). I think he makes her more interesting and she gives him greater substance. It could be a good match, if they both work out their issues.

Is anyone else dying to know what Lorelai's letter said???

So, how long until Paris is ousted as editor and Rory becomes the new editor? That's exactly what I see happening. Although I do enjoy watching Paris' antics in the newsroom.

[ManteoChik]

I totally agree. We've never seen Rory happier and more self-actualized than while she was dating Logan (well, the early days of dating Logan, anyway). I think he makes her more interesting and she gives him greater substance. It could be a good match, if they both work out their issues.


I agree, I really like Logan, and I really like him and Rory together.

[jesseybell]

I have never been a big Luke and Lorelei fan. I just never saw the chemistry. Sure when they weren't together and there were different times they were pining for each other, but since they got together, I just don't get it. The proposal was lame. They never show affection. You just don't really see on screen why they are even getting married.

The Paris thing was driving me a little crazy last night. She's gone way overboard. Don't school newspapers have faculty advisor's or is that only in high school?

I do like Logan.

A New England Maple Syrup Association in Connecticut? I don't think so! Vermont or New Hampshire. CT would be the last NE state to have it!

[Rosebud]

Don't school newspapers have faculty advisor's or is that only in high school?

Our college newspaper had a student editor, but an adult, non-student business manager. The editor had final say on content and copy, but the business manager sort of supervised. She controled the finances, monitored business practices and would absolutely have stepped in to replace an editor like Paris. Since the Yale newspaper on GG is on campus property, I would assume that they have some faculty supervision.

[vwinkel]

Can I just say I LOVE Paris? And I loved the Howell Raines reference. This show is so SMART.
I will admit that a good amount of the references are over my head with this show. But I did crack up when Paris called Rory "Algernon" after getting all of the flowers.

Is it wrong that I still want Lorelai with Christopher?
Nope! I'll agree with you on this. I like Christopher now that he is trying to grow up. Here's my idea for a good twist - Luke and Lorelai go on a break after this whole wedding postponing thing (which I don't understand btw). Lorelai starts talking to Christopher and sleeps with him AND gets pregnant!!

[PookiePrincess]

Crap...I guess next week is a rerun.

As far as Christopher is concerned, I think Lorelai's given him enough chances. It was enough that he left her when he found out Sherry was pregnant and she had to see him be there for another woman when he wasn't there for her and Rory. And the whole trying to break Luke and Lorelai up (of course that whole idea was Emily's, but he jumped at the chance when she suggested it)...I doubt they'll ever be romantically involved again.

I saw the whole Rory becoming the editor of the paper when they had Rory's 21st birthday party and Paris and Doyle announced she was editor. That look on Lorelai's face said it should have been Rory. I think it'll happen. Besides, Paris was the editor at Chilton, so it's possible they'll give Rory a shot.

It made me want to cry at the end when Luke wanted to postpone and Lorelai agreed. You could tell she was upset by it.

I SO want to know what was in the letter!

ETA: I checked tv.com and it says the next new episode is Jan. 31st. So we only have one week of a rerun and then a new one is back. I hate reruns!

[LeslieR]

I used to love Christoper until Lorelai got with Luke. I still liked him even after that, but didn't necessarily want them together. He really blew it at Lorelai's parents' vow renewal, though. Gawd, he acted like such a horse's ass.

[PookiePrincess]

Spoilers from Ask Ausiello @tvguide.com: There will be a wedding in March or April, but the bride and groom do not live in Stars Hollow. And one of our favorite Gilmore girls is about to discover that she has a lot in common with Michelle Williams' character in Brokeback Mountain

[PookiePrincess]

Kinda what I was thinking!

[mlfallis]

ok I didn't see that movie, can anyone please explain?

[Mellow_Water1]

ok I didn't see that movie, can anyone please explain?


I second that, can someone explain?


I can't believe I caved and read the spoiler.

[PookiePrincess]

Posting it in white...

Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't seen the movie...Heath Ledger's character is married (?) to Michelle Williams' character. He has a forbidden and secret relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal's character. That's the jist I've gotten from what I've heard.

So, I'm guessing from the spoiler that one of the main characters is in a relationship with someone's who's hiding a homosexual relationship. Or, unless they're just talking about a big secret and not really eluding to a homosexual relationship, but then I wouldn't see the connection to Brokeback Mountain. But it says one of our Gilmore girls...which would be Lorelai, Rory, or Emily. It's puzzling me and kicking in my impatient side!

[Rosebud]

Also posting in white....

Yes, in Brokeback Mountain Michelle Williams' character is married to Heath Ledger and they have two daughters. She finds out he's having a homosexual relationship, but they stay together for several more years before she finally can't take it any more and divorces him.

HOW could that possibly happen on GG?? That would mean that either Richard, Logan or Luke is gay. I don't think that's been properly set up at all. Maybe Ausiello just means that one of the Gilmore girls finds out their man has been hiding something... like Luke with his kid. But that's already happened, so how is that a spoiler?? I don't know.... comparing this to Brokeback Mountain definitely says someone's coming out of the closet. Very odd and confusing.

[Aimee]

I just want to thank all of y'all for posting spoilers in white. I try my best to avoid them - ever since I ruined the "who did Felicity sleep with" thing way back when, I've been one to avoid spoilers.

[J&K2003]

Posting in white: Sookie and Jackson?

[mlfallis]

Thank you guys for posting. ;)

[houseblend]

Also in white:


Interesting theory. Maybe.... I'm more hoping for Lulu, but I wouldn't say she's a GG favorite. :p I really don't want to see any of the other relationships mentioned break-up, so that's my bias!

[jellybeany]

hmmm - that is interesting. OMG I just can't see how!?!?!

[Mellow_Water1]

In white: I was thinking it could be Jackson, too, but then Sookie isn't a Gilmore girl so I'm not sure. I can't see Logan, Luke, or Christopher coming out of the closet. We shall see!

ETA: Maybe it's Marty?
Or maybe this spoiler is throwing us off...you know how spoilers are.

[jellybeany]

Answer to our spoiler questions in white!!

From spoilerfix.com "My source said that the secret life refrence is to Richard and a double life. It is not what we thought. The truth comes out at least to Rory and maybe Emily. I didn't ask about Lorelai. Richard has been a member and is alumni to the Life and Death Brigade. A function or yearly event makes this clear to Rory and thus the secret life he has been hidding for years."

[vwinkel]

Thanks jellybeany for posting that! That was quite the shock though!

[Mellow_Water1]

Yes, thank you!

This isn't exactly a spoiler for the show, but I'm not sure if everyone wants to know so:

Sean Gunn (Kirk) isn't renewing his contract for the show because he doesn't like the role anymore...he's being type-cast because of it. I'll miss him, even though some storylines with Kirk were a bit too out there.

[JamBray]

Now I really want to know what you guys are talking about, but I will.not.cave! :p

[polarama]

Here's a thought re: the spoiler:


It could be just that someone (Richard, I guess) has another life/affair/family. They may not necessarily be gay--Ausiello could be using Brokeback as a ruse. I mean, it could be taken two ways...Heath Ledger's character was secretly gay but also secretly having an affair.

[jmvan74]

Wheww! I was freaking out there for a moment! I love spoilers. hehe! I can't wait for the new episodes!

[PookiePrincess]

Yeah, I was freaking out, too. Glad it isn't what we thought!

[Jenessa]

OMG!! I used to hate spoilers, but with GG, I always have to read the spoilers now!! :) Wow! That is some shocking stuff right there.

[Persian]

I missed this weeks show can someone plz fill me in!

[KaliLily]

Next week is new!! And the previews for it indicate it's a can't miss episode. Rory faces off with Emily for the first time since moving out of Ma & Pa Gilmore's house! :eek: Do ya think Christopher taking over the Yale bills will come up?!?!

[PookiePrincess]

Do ya think Christopher taking over the Yale bills will come up?!?!

The answer to that is...Meanwhile, Lorelai breaks the news to Richard and Emily that their money will no longer be needed for Rory's education, and the resentment starts to build. ]

[allison]

I haven't posted in this thread before but DH and I love GG.

I was just wondering...do you think the State of the Union address next Tuesday will interfere with GG? Or is it on another day?

[Brandy]

The Spoiler.... A little more info...

Question: I may be the only person in America who hasn't seen Brokeback Mountain, so what did you mean last week when you said, "One of our favorite Gilmore girls is about to discover that she has a lot in common with Michelle Williams' character in Brokeback Mountain?" — Casey

Ausiello: Actually, forget I said that. I goofed, big time. I read an early version of a script for Episode 15 and in it, we find out that one of the show's leading men had an affair with a character named Walker. Naturally, I assumed Walker was a guy. (Who wouldn't, right?) Well, you know what they say about people who assume — they make an ass out of some dude named Ume. Turns out Walker is a girl and no one on the show has anything in common with Michelle Williams' character in Brokeback Mountain, with the possible exception of Paris. I dunno, there's something about Doyle that strikes me as, oh, gay.

Source: Ask Ausiello, TVguide.com

[PookiePrincess]

About above mentioned spoiler: The girl named Walker is one of Honor's bridesmaids. She and Logan slept together while he and Rory had their break. He also fooled around with another one of her BM, but I can't remember her name.

Regarding the State of the Union...not sure. I'd hope they wouldn't show W and give us GG. A lot of times WB doesn't do what the other major networks do. But, who knows!

[JillyBean]

Very interesting about the spoiler! Can't wait for next week!

[jesseybell]

tv guide has GG on the schedule while all the big networks have the State of the Union...I am pretty sure in the past the WB showed regular shows. So did Fox until recently.

[jmvan74]

I feel like we wait forever to see new episodes!

[vwinkel]

Me too. I check my Replay on Tuesday night and am so excited to watch a new GG, but when I see "repeat" I'm so disapointed. I really need to get a hobby other than TV. . . ;)

[PookiePrincess]

I checked my listings and GG comes on at 7 and the State of the Union at 8. Hopefully it won't affect it.

[KaliLily]

My local WB channel shows GG starting at 8pm, as usual, followed by Supernatural. The SotU isn't listed on the coming Tuesday schedule.

[PookiePrincess]

T minus 17 minutes!

[ADSigMel]

*sigh* Logan is sooooo dreamy! *swoon*

[Jenessa]

Logan is dreamy, but I think Jess is way hotter!! :) That's just my opinion though. :)

[kugrrly]

this episode has been kind of boring so far.

[Southlooper]

Ok, I officially LOVE Logan.

[MSH]

I agree this was one of his finer moments

[Brandy]

Awww yeah for Logan stepping up! Soo adorable. The whole Friday night dinner scene- yeah, I was so uncomfortable through out hte whole thing.

And what is the big secret for the next episode?

In White: Is it Walker?

[tenofcups]

I found Logan stepping in extremely annoying. They had Rory on top of the whole thing--she was competent and in control, until they had him come in and save the day. WTF? Wasn't SHE the one who was supposed to save the day?

Besides the whole really annoying have the cute guy come in and take care of everything aspect, I just generally find him annoying and smarmy. She could do a lot better... :)

[twinnyme]

I agree, especially when Rory actually said to him, "you saved the day." I had the same reaction as tenofcups and thought it was odd of Rory to say something like that. I also don't think it sets a good example of using your name to get things done - but hey I guess that is the real world.

As for the ending, I think they were trying to do some unusual cinematography or something, and maybe illustrate the ups and downs of the relationship they've had over the years in one evening, but I felt like I was getting whiplash. Interesting, though.

What did everyone think of Luke, Lorelai, and April - the scene of him seeing everyone looking at him and April through the Soda Shoppe, and not catching that Lorelai was there, too?

[PookiePrincess]

Yeah, I thought Rory was capable of handling the paper herself, without Logan. He's never wanted to be involved before, but since it was his chance to "save the day," he was all over it! Talk about stealing her thunder!

I liked the ending...thought it was pretty dramatic. Years of pent up anger and frustration that they all needed to get out!

When Luke looked through the window of the Soda Shoppe, Lorelai wasn't there. She had left because of the crowd and the attention, so he wouldn't have seen her there. I think it's sad that she really wants to know what's going on with Luke and April, but doesn't want to pry. And that Luke doesn't see that she's trying to figure it all out, too.

About next week: The paper staff gets tired of Paris and fires her and appoints Rory to be the new editor. When Paris finds out, she kicks Rory out of the apartment. Logan convinces her to move in with him. That's the shocking news. Obviously Lorelai doesn't take it too well!

[houseblend]

I really liked tonight's episode. Good point about Rory giving Logan credit - while nice of him to step in and help, the majority of the credit belonged to Rory. I know Logan has his arrogant traits, but underneath I still think he has a good heart. I thought him bringing out dinner at the end was so sweet.

I can't believe Paris missed all that action all wholed up in her cubby hole. What was that about? She has gone a bit too far off the deep end!!!

In regards to the soda shoppe scene - I think Luke happened to look out the window right after she had stepped out, so she was no longer there. It's sad to see he doesn't realize how much he is hurting her.

ETA: The last scene was interesting (Friday night dinner). I guess they were trying out some clever camera tricks. I'm wondering if this is a step to a better relationship between them all?

[mom_to_zoe]

I liked the Friday night dinner scene. I thought it effectively conveyed that the four of them went through a lot of highs and lows without showing us every single one ('cause the didn't have time!). And it seemed realistic to me -- big blowouts are kind of like that.

Hated the whole Logan-saves-the-day storyline. I kept thinking, "Oh we are supposed to like him now b/c he steps in and does a little work (and throws around his father's name) after being a jerk for so long?" I wasn't buying it.

And what the heck is up with Luke. He went from being the best BF ever to a total loser. Can't he see how he is hurting Lorelei?

[PookiePrincess]

Okay, my favorite thing of the night was when Lorelai and Rory leave the Gilmore's house and their hair is all messed up, they look exhausted, and you can tell they went ten rounds in there!

[JamBray]

I was actually quite pissed at how obtuse Luke was being about the obvious hurt in Lorelei's eyes and voice. And when he asked her if he could help cancel stuff, I wanted to scream!

I really liked how Rory stepped up and took charge of getting the paper out, but thought that when she told Logan he saved the day he had said something back like "No, it was all you Ace, I was just here to help." or something like that. I'm not thrilled that just because he finally took an interest in the paper that she's now all swoony again over him. Blech! I would've liked to have seen him beg a little more.

The scene at Friday night dinner was interesting, although it did make me a bit dizzy. I did like how they went from screaming at each other to cracking up, and I was laughing at the part where Richard said "So how's Luke?" and Lorelei answers "He has a kid." in this dead-pan voice.

Can't wait to see what the big news is from Rory next week!

[HisSpicy]

I love Logan- so I was quite happy to see him come help- although I thought this would finally make Rory editor after all of this. I suppose they may save it for another episode, or maybe if I read spoilers I'd know what they would do. But I love surprises!
And I was just facinated by the cinematography at the end. I have watched Gilmore Girls from the beginning (I'm Rory's ago so I've always related well to the show I guess) and the way those ending scenes were filmed was so different from the normal shots, though I actually thought it worked well because of the content. I just couldn't get over how different it was - I wish it had been longer, I really enjoyed seeing so many different issues brought up.

[stevesbabygirl]

I loved the ending of this show tonight; I thought the camera work was a great way to capture the essence of the evening, if that makes any sense.

[Rosebud]

Best Friday night dinner EVER!! :D

What a great episode. I absolutely loved it. The showdown with the Gilmores at the end was fantastic. They should have had it out like that a long time ago. And Logan.... he loves Rory so much. The way he looks at her when she's doing her classic Rory-talking-too-much bit is adorable. Logan loves who Rory truly is and he gets her. I really think they're good together.

when she told Logan he saved the day he had said something back like "No, it was all you Ace, I was just here to help." or something like that.

Yes, he did say that. He wasn't trying to take credit for her effort.

The office Paris built at the newspaper looked like the Unabomber's shack. She's totally lost it. Make Rory editor, already!! You know it's coming.

The Luke/ Lorelei plotline is making me so sad. When Lorelei was talking about having to give up the "perfect church" I wanted to cry for her. However, she really needs to tell Luke how she's feeling. He can't be expected to read her mind and clearly he has no clue how rejected she feels.

So, the preview for next week is curious. WHAT could Rory and Logan's big announcement be? They're too young to get engaged. Are they moving in together? Jetting off to Spain to run with the bulls together? Opening a Starbucks franchise together? Hmmmmm... :cool:

[jmvan74]

Lovedlast night's episode! I think Logan was just being a nice guy. He wanted to help out anyway he could. He loves Rory and wants her back. When he pulled dinner out it was so sweet.
Luke is an ass. I'm so angry. I know he is not a mind reader, but come on...it is so obvious! (TV of course). Besides...him having a daughter, really has nothing to do with the wedding! Blahh!

Absolutely loved the Friday night dinner! It was fun to watch. They needed to have it out.

[LeslieR]

I LOVED the Friday night dinner and I usually can't stand them. Great scenes. Loved it.

I actually warmed up to Logan a bit last night. I never even thought about it the ways you guys did with him "saving the day". When I think about it that way, I do get a bit annoyed. lol

Paris irks the shit out of me. ugh.

I understand what Luke is going through and I am very happy that he is pursuing a relationship with April, HOWEVER, I see no reason for the wedding to be postponed either. One thing has nothing to do with the other. I feel so bad for Lorelai.:(

[mgrace]

Logan is a slimeball.

I found Logan stepping in extremely annoying. They had Rory on top of the whole thing--she was competent and in control, until they had him come in and save the day. WTF?
Totally. All Logan did was show up to see Rory and suddenly he throws his dad's name around and he is the hero. Grrrr. He isn't interested in the *paper*; he's interested in Rory. Go away Logan!

Loved the Friday night dinner scenes. That was awesome. And I loved earlier in the show when Lorelai was immitating Emily. Hilarious. :)

[lawyerlee]

I loved last night's episode, except for the Rory and Logan stuff. Ugh. Why is she giving him another chance? I know he's really trying hard to win her back, but why couldn't he be more like this when they were together instead of acting like a spoiled little idiot? She deserves better. :( The fight(s) at Friday night dinner was(were) so freaking hilarious. We've been waiting for an episode this good all season long. Finally! :)

[kugrrly]

the dinner was a hoot.

Logan is annoying. I am just not fond of his character. He comes in and "saves the day" by throwing his last name around. Well pin a rose on his nose.

[twinnyme]

Quote:
when she told Logan he saved the day he had said something back like "No, it was all you Ace, I was just here to help." or something like that.

Yes, he did say that. He wasn't trying to take credit for her effort.

Guess I missed that for some reason! But I still don't like him.

The office Paris built at the newspaper looked like the Unabomber's shack. She's totally lost it. Make Rory editor, already!! You know it's coming.

Oh, yeah, I immediately thought maybe something was going on with her mentally - depression or something - when I saw the inside of that cubicle. Or maybe she's just really strange!!!

Okay, my favorite thing of the night was when Lorelai and Rory leave the Gilmore's house and their hair is all messed up, they look exhausted, and you can tell they went ten rounds in there!

LOL - so true!

[bethnjim]

I am totally head over heels in love with Logan!! He is super cute and I think he is GREAT for Rory!!

The dinner scenes were fantastic!!

[ADSigMel]

Okay, I guess I'm just a dumbass. I thought the "happy" dinner scenes were the ones that really happened and the fighting ones were just in Lorelai's head because she really wanted them to fight and get it over with, but her parents would never do anything so vulgar. *shrug* I'm slow. :rolleyes:

I think somebody needs to smack Luke. What a goober! And Lorelai is pissing me off, too, for going along with him. I mean, so what, he's got a kid. Why does that mean they can't get married in June?! April's been there for 12 years, she's not going to all of a sudden disappear just because her dad goes on with his life after finding out about her. I just don't get what exactly Luke thinks he needs all that time to "figure out."

And I'm really glad that Rory and Logan are back together. Even if he sucked (which I don't think he does), I would want them to be together just because his family hates her so much and were so ugly to her. But he really did help her out with the paper, even if it was mostly her doing. I mean, he was the one that got the paper printed. Sometimes it's nice to have the Huntzberger (or however you spell it) name behind you.

P.S. Re the spoiler: Thank God that's all. I was worried they were going to announce they were pregnant or something.

[Txfish]

Bah, you're all a bunch of haters. Logan rocks, he's awesome for Rory (when he gets his head out of his ass and steps away from the way his family thinks), Ace is the cutest nickname *ever*, and using his name to get it done was simply employing an asset that no one else in that room had. I'd do it in a heartbeat, not to be a badass or "save the day", but to help HER. That's what he did. Exactly what a boyfriend is supposed to do: put aside what he wants to support you & help you get something accomplished that matters to YOU, whether it matters to him or not. That personality trait alone is almost marriage-worthy.

I was terrified that the big shocker next week was going to be a pregnancy, just from the look on Lorelei's face in the preview. She just looks so crushed.

The dinner was *terrific*. I'd heard that there were a record # of scenes for the dinner, but I figured they'd keep cutting back to another plotline in between -- totally unexpected delivery. The mussed-up hair at the end was a riot.

Paris -- what can you say about Paris. We always knew she had THAT level of psychosis in her... whoever made the Unabomber shack comment, I'm crying! Too funny!

Luke & Lorelei are making me sad, but they'll get it together. She just needs to tell him what she's thinking -- Luke is a terrific guy, but then he's never been tested with this kind of personal emotional blow and hey, I wouldn't handle it well either.

[JamBray]

Yes, he did say that. He wasn't trying to take credit for her effort.
Guess I missed that for some reason! But I still don't like him.
I did too, and I still don’t like him either.
The Luke/ Lorelei plotline is making me so sad. When Lorelei was talking about having to give up the "perfect church" I wanted to cry for her. However, she really needs to tell Luke how she's feeling. He can't be expected to read her mind and clearly he has no clue how rejected she feels.
I agree, but her pain is pretty evident in her voice and face, so wake up Luke! But I still hoped she was going to voice her feelings when he was going on about how she understands that he just needs some time with April. I mean I get that, but it would be nice for him to at least formally introduce them, especially since their first meeting was so uncomfortable and surprising, geez!

[EmilyBronte]

Well, shoot. I came here to say what Txfish said.

Great episode! Can't wait to find out what the big surprise is next week (didn't read the spoilers) - I say it's that Logan and Rory moving in together, and DH says he thinks Rory is pg. We'll see!

[HisSpicy]

Stepping back in for a moment to defend Logan. He didn't just throw his name around, (although I think he should, I mean, if Rory can use her "wiles" as Russel mentioned, why can't he use his asset?) When he first arrived, he took on several of the stories, helped to manage some of the other people (putting certain people in charge of things to speed up production) and offered up extra stories he had saved in addition to the ones he was about to finish, and gave Rory the idea to take some articles from the next issue to supplement, "robbing Peter to pay Paul." And from previous seasons, we know that while Logan isn't very involved in the paper, he is actually a very good writer.
So, just wanted to say he contributes more than a name!

[bunnybeth]

DH says he thinks Rory is pg. We'll see!

That thought crossed my mind as well...

[EmilyBronte]

I agree with Hisspicy about Logan. We live in a world that who you know (or are) is important. When you can use it to your advantage, you may as well.

I also was thinking that the writers may have had Logan step up and help out in an attempt to show how he's matured since his character entered the scene. He is destined to take over the family business and run their newspapers. Up until now, Logan's character seemed like he may not have what it takes to be the head of the family business. Last night's episode gave us a hint that he's not the screw up everyone thought he was.

[jesseybell]

Are they trying to write off Paris' character or something - she is just horrible.

Loved the dinner scenes.

I go up and down about Logan - love him and hate him.

Lorelei and Rory really should have told Richard and Emily about the tuition a long time ago.

The Luke stuff is painful to watch. I've never been a big fan since they got together because I don't see a lot of chemistry. And I really don't understand why the April thing needs to be a reason to postpone the wedding.

[ManteoChik]

I love Logan and Rory together.....I'm glad they are back. :D

[Southlooper]

I saw the whole Logan and Rory working to get the paper out as something that they were doing together. He smchmoozed in the end, but then there would be nothing to schmooze if she didn't take over.

The dinner scene was great. I was LOL at the end with the messed up hair.

[sdianems]

Are they trying to write off Paris' character or something - she is just horrible.

I agree! The more the show goes on, the more irritating this character becomes; like she only has one note.
There HAS to be more to Paris then this, but this season she is so out of control. I am glad that her "time" on the show this season is lessened!

[Pine Tree]

I thought Paris' cubbyhole was a reference to the shack in A Beautiful Mind - all of the newspapers with words circled etc... Just like the movie. Brilliant and subtle.

[houseblend]

I thought Paris' cubbyhole was a reference to the shack in A Beautiful Mind - all of the newspapers with words circled etc... Just like the movie. Brilliant and subtle.

Interesting! It's been so long since I've seen that movie that I had forgotten about that scene. I hope they're not going to take Paris down the route of schizophrenia. It seems a bit too serious of a topic for this show.


It's interesting how split everyone is on Logan! It seems half of us are for and half of us against!

[Aimee]

I thought Paris' cubbyhole was a reference to the shack in A Beautiful Mind - all of the newspapers with words circled etc... Just like the movie. Brilliant and subtle.

That's exactly what I thought, too!

Count me in the "loves Logan" camp!

Still being good and not reading any of the spoilers. although it's getting really, really hard to not do it!

[kugrrly]

This epsiode has moved really really slow tonight.

Christopher looks like he has lost A LOT of weight!!!

[EmilyBronte]

I think Lorelai took the whole, "moving in" thing way too casually. I don't know many parents who would be that ok with it initially. She didn't have much time to get used to the idea from the time Chris told her to the time Rory called. I guess it's mostly because of her "last time I commented" line.

[Mellow_Water1]

I should be studying, so I'll keep this short for now. Loved the episode! Laughed out loud at a lot, including the 7th Heaven reference! :cool:

[Linnybubbles]

Christopher looks like he has lost A LOT of weight!!!

ITA! I thought he was going to say he had cancer by the way he looked! It was a pretty good episode, all in all. I love Logan, so seeing him was the highlight (though Jess will always be my favorite)

[Wrighty26]

I realized last night that Logan = Christopher. They have that same way about each other.

That said-- I'm still not a huge fan of Logan/Rory together-- just like I don't like Lorelei and Christopher together!

Christopher DID loose a lot a weight--- but I would have checked him out too-- he's a hottie :)

[bunnybeth]

I realized last night that Logan = Christopher. They have that same way about each other.
Yeah, we thought that to, with them comparing all the private schools they've been kicked out of.

My favorite part was when Michel admited why he was really so annoyed with Luke doing the little fix-ups around the inn. He likes his cake & gossip time! ;)

[jmvan74]

I think last night's episode was pretty good. I thought the scene with Christopher and Logan talking about getting kicked out of schools was so funny. They are very similar and it's no wonder Rory loves
