I think DR is following ASPs plan. Whatever he knows of it anyway. I think we'll have 6 episodes of LL being apart. Then episodes of them finally working things out and in the finale or something they'll get back together. And if there is an 8th season they'll do the married storyline. And then they'll say "See? We knew what we were doing." But if there isn't an 8th season, LL will still be married, but the show will be over. Again with them saying "See? We knew what we were doing." I don't like that at all. Boo.

Then again I did state earlier that I wanted more about the girls themselves. So maybe that's what we'll get this year since Logan is staying in London and Luke and Lorelai are whatever.

It better be damn good Rory and Lorelai stuff. That's all I gots to say.

ETA: Ausiello extended a lot of his answers from the GG Session.

GILMORE GIRLS PRESENTATION
3:38: New show-runner David Rosenthal is not what I expected. Don't know why, but I thought he'd be more of an imposing figure. Just the opposite. He seems very laid back and, dare I say, ordinary. In other words, the exact opposite of AS-P.

3:40: I grab the microphone and, as I start to ask my question, Lauren says "Hi, Michael" from the stage. It's a beautiful moment that, unfortunately, gets pissed on by a reporter on the opposite side of the room who seems hell-bent on getting his question in before mine. A brief shouting match ensues, but I decide to take the high road and let him go ahead of me. It's no easy being such a class act.

3:43: OK, I got my Luke/Lorelai question in. Basically, Rosenthal can't promise smooth sailing for the fractured pair. "Life is full of drama and conflict and confusion and choices you make and choices you regret," he says. "I think that's what makes for good storytelling."

3:53: Lauren is leaving the door to doing another season slightly ajar. "I haven't been in this particular collaboration before, and I think we're all really excited to see where the show can go. I read the first script [and] I love it. So a lot of things could happen. The fact is that our legal contracts are up. So you begin to imagine, "Well, what if?" in a different way than we have before."

3:55: Yikes! A critic just asks David how his sordid past — you can consult Google for more — makes him the right person to lead Gilmore Girls. He's clearly flustered by the question. "You know, my personal life is not an issue here," he says. "It's not worth getting into. I'm just here to talk about the show." Unfortunately for everyone in the room, the critic persists. "How does it make you professionally the right person for this show?" Lauren immediately leaps to his defense. "It has nothing to do with anything," she snaps. "Next!" Ah, just another reason I adore Lauren Graham.

4:00: A reporter asks Lauren, "I don't want to put words in your mouth, but your answers to several questions... " What, sound like she's, um, excited by the show's new direction? I was getting that impression, too! "If you write anything that that makes me sound like I said something negative about Amy and Dan, I will be upset. [They] gave me the best job I ever had. But they really, you know, liked to run things in a certain way that was specific to the two of them and that was more, I guess, hands-on… But every show-runner has the way they do it, and some of them don't really want anyone else's opinion, and some of them do." She adds that, under David, there's definitely more of an "open-door" policy.

4:01: If this is the final season of Gilmore Girls, David says he "would definitely" want to consult Amy about how to end the show. "I just want to see if anybody can guess what [the final two words] are," Lauren chimes in. A reporter suggest that maybe it's "You're pregnant!" "Wow, that's exciting," Lauren responds. "Who would say it to whom?"

4:02: Alexis is going to see how this season goes before deciding on another year. "This is totally new, so we'll see."
