Thread Rules

This thread is to discuss spoilers of the show, which includes analysis and speculation of what might happen on the show, or what people would like to see happen regarding Luke and Lorelai. The thread should not be used as episode discussion thread. That should be done on the Gilmore Girls board.
Be respectful. Not everyone is going to agree with you at all times. It's perfectly fine to disagree with someone as long as it is done respectfully, but do not attack other posters.
Don't tease! If you have spoilers that you aren't able or willing to share just yet, it's inappropriate to come on the forum and tell everyone that.
Please note that asking and/or begging for more spoilers isn't necessary. Our sources give what they can, whenever it is possible, and when the time is right. Asking over and over again won't make them come any quicker, or any more detailed.

Feel free to discuss everything about Luke & Lorelai. Have fun posting!

The CW: STARS HOLLOW THROWS A "KNIT-A-THON" — When Christopher (David Sutcliffe) questions Lorelai (Lauren Graham) about why she has avoided involving him in the daily life of Stars Hollow, she admits her concern that her old friends may not accept him. Christopher makes an effort to bond with the townspeople, and Lorelai brings him to the town knit-a-thon, where his well-intentioned gesture brings the event to an early end. When Olivia (Michelle Ongkingo) throws a 2002-themed birthday party for Lucy (Krysten Ritter), Rory (Alexis Bledel) gets her chance to confront Marty about his coldness toward her. Finally, Luke (Scott Patterson) is touched by the birth of Liz (Kathleen Wilhoite) and T.J.’s (Michael DeLuise) baby, and when he learns that Anna (Sherilyn Fenn) is planning to move to New Mexico with April (Vanessa Marano), he demands equal rights as a parent. Liza Weil also stars. Kenny Ortega directed the episode written by David Grae

Thanks for the new thread!!

lancer1993 · 11-17-2006, 01:39 PM

Thank Mots

So how much of a cheapskate is Chris, couldn't he spring for a hotel with 24/7 room service?

lilmelodie · 11-17-2006, 01:44 PM

Thanks for the thread, Mots.

**Katiegg108** · 11-17-2006, 01:50 PM

Why the frak am I so happy about GG and LL right now? it's all like falling into place finally and I love it!!

I just heard the news that VM's getting 20 eps...

as if my happy mood couldn't get any better!

vaso · 11-17-2006, 01:54 PM

Thanks for the thread Mots.

I'm excited too, for the first time since 7.01, but i don't want to get my hopes up because DR might torture us with the vow thing.

Mots15 · 11-17-2006, 01:54 PM

Hm, only 20 eps for VM? Not a full season, but close. Sadly I'm not so sure about them getting picked up for a 4th season. Sigh.

Cappuccino · 11-17-2006, 01:59 PM

Thanks for the new thread

**Katiegg108** · 11-17-2006, 02:02 PM

We had the marriage spoiler before ep. 7.01 even aired, right? I mean, this is the first time things are even looking remotely good for the JJs... I'm just so happy!

It'll probably just depend.. if GG can manage a million more or so after DWTS ends, then maybe VM can get another bump up in the ratings too... we'll see.

so, if CW is done with most of their back-ep pick ups, when are they going to start talking about picking up shows for next year? I hope we find out relatively soon if we're coming back, i'll need time to prepare for the end if it's coming in like 6 months...

Why not 22eps?

I seriously doubt GG will get 1 million more viewers next week.

BTW I haven't seen the Podcast yet, is it up?

They didn't really keep the LC thing under the radar

I think they did it on purpose so that the viewers were prepared kind of. Now the really interesting stuff on the other hand is being kept from us

I mean all the spoiler sources disappeared kind of and the sides are locked up like if you read them you have to die or something

Big things are coming and I think they will blow us away big-time.

No idea... But it's awfully close to a full season... why don't they just seal the who deal now?

No, 1 million, probably not.. but tivo numbers have been way high and we know those people were watching Dancing.. so we'll probably get a significant jump next week.

and the podcast's up now... *runs to listen*

LOL... the spoiler sources disappeared, sides went away... it's so true, all after ep. 7. Even tours became less imformative and everything.

And i'll stick to my previous reasons. The marriage started Lorelai's journey. DR originally said that ep. 6 (which was orginally paris ep) would be the start of the journies for LL. everything before that was just trying to make CL actually make sense.

Now we're at the good stuff!

*squee!* i can't wait.!!

And who knows what else is coming

I think a lot of spoilers are meant for the later episodes. Do you remember the spoiler about Lorelai pining for Luke ? I think that will slowly start now and even more later on in the season once Dopey is gone.
