Sophies

In Episode 5.03, Written in the Stars, Logan tells Rory that she should call him "Master and Commander."

Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O'Brian's novels about Jack Aubrey. Sophie is the square-rigged ship that Aubrey is Master and Commander of, and those who crew in her refer to themselves as Sophies. It is the ship where Jack Aubrey first makes his name.

So, it is in this spirit that those who ship the Master and Commander and His Lady are known as: Sophies.

Spoilers and Other Buzz



banner by Shinystar

From SassyPaws: "... a season 8 looks more likely than not at this point..." Craig @ FanBolt: CW not giving up on the show, though part of the cast doesn't want to come back.

Ask Ausiello: Matt Czuchry is not in the finale. Logan is mentioned in a conversation between Lorelai and Rory.

spoilerfix.com: When Rory and Logan break up, Rory will still be in her graduation garb and will hand him back a black ring box. He takes it and walks away.

Sarahmamma at TWOP here: Logan proposes in front of everyone, " He made a toast thanking professors' etc... in the end kneels down and ask her hand in marriage with a 3 carat square diamond ring...", "Rory didn't get her job offer which makes her very upset.", " Logan gets a job offer in NY ( I think?)", "Rory got a job somewhere, she has to fly off immediately and called her mum and said goodbye.. thats the end.. " (Questionable? Certain details are definitely false)

Angel312 at TWOP: tour report Paris's apartment cleared out except some moving boxes.

mozzarella at TWOP: Logan isn't in 7.22. There will be a week or two time jump between 7.21 and 7.22. From SassyPaws at TWOP: ...the information you are getting is wrong. (Unclear about what in the post is wrong.) From Saranoh: Logan not being in the finale is right, the rest is wrong

tigerlily333: Tour report Logan get down on one knee and Rory's reaction was clearly negative.

owtpalready: Tour report Logan proposes. The tour guide says Logan living in San Francisco or them making a set for an apartment there.

Nicolala: Rory gets a job offer. Logan spends time at Lorelai's house, and he and Lorelai talk.

Clarification from ABitStormy. "I immediately figured the "for two years," part was talking about how long they've been together".

Tour report and pictures from laurla205. Pictures of Rory and Paris at the graduation. Lucy and Olivia is also there.

Tour report and pictures from ABitStormy.
When the scene starts though it looks like Rory is already agitated because she's walking super fast and trying to get ahead of him and it looks like she's irritated with him. Then they make their way to a horse and carriage with two white horses. I'm guessing Logan got it for her as part of the proposal or in case she decided to say yes. They did this scene a few times, sometimes the scene seemed to have them both angry, and some of the takes seemed more mellow, even including a smile or two. There is a ring box, it was hard to see at first but it looked like at first Logan has it, then he takes Rory's hands and hands it to Rory, and then at the end she hands it back (though a few times I think Alexis still had it when the scene ended).

Ausiello on his vodcast: Rory and Logan break up in 7.21

Tru_Slayer at TV.com: Says here Paris breaks up with Doyle and later misses him.

Ausiello Report: Rory finally meets Christiane Amanpour in May 8, season (and likely series) finale

Matt Czuchry being considered for a CW pilot, Gravity. More information here, here, here, and here. Thanks to Iolite, La Linn, shinystar, and rosefurcoat for bringing the information over.

Watch with Kristin: David Rosenthal is talking to other shows

From RoryandLogan.net: Matt Czuchry interview – failed business deal will lead to really big changes in Logan

Buddy TV interviews Matt Czuchry: "Logan is going to start a nice arc here. There will be a further twist on down the line as far as the direction that Logan’s going to go for the last chunk of the season. So the internet company and how he interacts with his passion and what happens with the internet company is really going to inform the storylines for him and for Rory and their relationship."

Ask Ausiello: Family drama for Logan; Rory plays the supportive girlfriend, but no marriage proposal.

ScottPAdmirer's brief tour report on TWoP: The other set we saw was the layout of Logan's NY apartment, complete with that knight's armor.

Metro interviews Matt Czuchry: "I want to see her grow from the relationship, but I actually think it would be more interesting if Logan and Rory were just these soul mate friends and Rory has the time she needs to be on her own."

lorelaisgirl tour info here. Rory is on a phone call and once she hangs up she does a happy-squee-like move.

ingw tour info here and here. Rory gets a call from the NYT about a job, Yale apartment being torn down.

copperboom tour report: There is a new apartment for Logan in the Yale soundstage.

Terry Morrow spoke with Matt Czuchry: Matt tells me it's too early to tell, but the set doesn't have a fatalistic feel to it right now. I'm hearing the show will continue for maybe one more season ... but nothing is firm.

From Genki: R/L will be ok in the end.

Buddytv interview with DSR: "Will Logan and Rory break up this season?" "No comment. (Laughs) You'll have to wait and watch."

From Wheredidalltheanvilsgo tour: No new sets have been built for Rory.

Ausiello Report: With Logan's return, "It will kind of rev up their relationship in good and bad ways." Their relationship will deepen and complicate in many ways. Marty's still holding a torch for Rory, but it's not reciprocated. More here.

LarLar1286 at TWOP: DS contract extension would be for Rory’s graduation, not to extend C/L.

Ausiello Report: RL relationship "deepening and intensifying"; Marty “in and out” all year.

CW Launch Party clip brought over by little_earthquake. Transcript courtesy caf123.

Matt on KMOX, brought over by Sandlynn. Matt says that Logan does find passion in his work in London.

Ausiello interviews Matt Czuchry at the CW Launch Party. As for Rory and Logan: "Logan is going to come back and going to make sure nobody takes his girl... He doesn't want to lose this girl... He loves this girl." Transcript courtesy of lorelaisgirl.

Ausiello’s interview with David Rosenthal. “Logan will be a major part of her life this year, and they will find ways to be together.” Marty will also cause Rory a lot of personal problems.

Watch with Kristin: Alexis about Matt: "It's really fun working with him, I mean it definitely is, because he's always very engaged, he's always in character, and it kinda motivates me. Because, like, I'm on the show every day, and when he comes in, he brings this fresh new energy and its kinda nice to work with him. So, I hope we get to have a lot more scenes together this season."

Terry Morrow of KnoxNews reports that Matt Czuchry will appear for 15 episodes this season, the first two "just seen talking over the phone".

Kristin in E!Online interviews Matt Czuchry: He thinks that Rory and Logan's storyline would resonate with young adults because it highlights the tension of Logan taking on his family responsibilities, and Rory finding out what she wants for herself professionally. He thinks Rory should remain single if this were the last season [in reaction to Kristin's comment about a "big Rory and Logan wedding"].

From GGMinn: Rory will have no new love interest.

Alan Sepinwall of The Star Ledger chats with DR at the CW party: "The first part of the season is (Logan and Rory) trying to deal with a long-distance relationship. Something will come and change that."

Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune quotes Dave Rosenthal: "We have the benefit of seeing the future and knowing where we want to take them. So while something may be disturbing in the short run, or upsetting or confusing to a fan, we as the writers recognize that, yes, that’s upsetting but ultimately that's the journey that this character has to go on, they're required to do this or that...ultimately we're interested in personal growth. Obviously if characters never went through difficult times or never suffered, or had to face obstacles it would be hard for them to grow."

Ausiello interviews Milo Ventimiglia: on Jess returning to GG~ "Never gonna happen."

On the Regis and Kelly show, Alexis Bledel calls "recycling" of Rory's boyfriends...unrealistic.

myfanbase.de interview of Matt Czuchry: "My hope is that the audience will get to see Logan take on his adult responsibilities and thrive in the business world. Personally, I would love to see Logan apply his spontaneous nature and love of life to the challenges he finds with the paper and his fast approaching adult life he has resisted to this point..."

Spoilerfreak posts: a clause in Matt Czuchry's contract? MC to appear in last 3 episodes of the season

Kristin interviews EH, KB, MC and SP at the CW upfronts. - Clip from Canopus - Transcript - Matt: "Hopefully, with that London storyline," he said, "we'll get a chance to see what he would be like taking over the business and becoming kind of a mogul. Either that or it will be just a lot of phone calls to Rory, which is going to get tiring! But either way, I will be there."

[catkirk7]

Thanks for the thread, Katie. Great title, Jason.

[La Linn]

Thanks KatieD for the thread and Jason for the title.

[hearty26]

Wow another thread with another really good title ... thanks

and I know it's late but better later than never: congrats Jason to the next star ... wow 5000 posts, I'm impressed

[Sandra Starck]

Thanks for the thread, Katie ! Thanks for the title, Jason !

I can't seem to stop lurking and I'll probably even watch the episodes leading up to 7.21.

[TheJSW]

Thanks Katie. Welcome back Sandra. Yay, A WIN! I needed a good win. And yes Hearty, I have seven stars. By no means am I Mr. Best. However, 7 stars in almost two years? That's not too shabby. Even for an old raspcallion like me. Nevertheless, wow, new episode Tuesday. May someone smart and pretty come out of hiding and do a PBP for us. If not, I am totally going to not watch this episode live. I have no idea what's it's even titled, that's how far off the beaten path I am.

[wej5541]

Thanks for the thread Katie!

After watching the Director's Cut, I think Lorelai might think Logan is irresponsible because he thinks Taylor is a genius as shown in the sides.

That lady definitely needed to be more positive about Matt giving her the tour, most people don't have actors showing them around.

[TheJSW]

Wayne, it's just a super-hot and gratious guy giving her the tour. I mean, that ****, happens every day! Seriously though, it's **** like that, that causes problems man. Totally wompin huge problems. She at least shared the pics. That was nice of her. Matt may no longer be on this show. However, stuff like that tour, shows he's the salt of the ****ing earth, and may good things happen to him in the future. Maybe Gravity getting an awesome showrunner. That would be cool.

[blaab]

Thanks for the thread and title!

Thanks for the link to the blog of that tour by MC. I can't believe she registered anything with MC around as TourGuide besides MC himself ...

[hearty26]

Thanks for the link to the blog of that tour by MC. I can't believe she registered anything with MC around as TourGuide besides MC himself ...

I can't get this either ... I mean ... MATT CZUCHRY gave her this tour and she did what? Look around and mentioned all this things on the set ... what the hell does it matter what's around when Matt is right by your side ... I think if I were this woman I would have to take this tour again to see the set

[gilmorebrazil]

Thanks for the thread Katie and for the title Jason!

And everyone else who brought new info.

[lancer1993]

Thanks for the new thread KatieD

La Linn I had to go to work so sorry for the late response, and that partly answers your question, I might be lucky to hit 28,000 by ep 22 'cause of my new job. My per day post count is WAY down, to only 10 or so post. But I don't care I'm thinking of the pretty pretty money

Back on topic - I don't know what to think of the couple right now, I just hope the break up is not as bad as it look. But any break up can't be fun, IMO the only hope is for S8.

[wej5541]

From Mozarella on TWOP via KatieGG on the LL thread:

Luke does not attend Rory's graduation ceremony.

[fox24]

That girl was crazy, she even called Matt a fool for not knowing the painting. I think she should have been more appreciative of him Matt not only good looking but also one of the most down to earth actors in Hollywood
