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!

Hey, thanks for bringing it over.

For what it's worth, I checked the Futon Critic airdates for GG and VM. GG's don't help because they only have the starting time of 8pm for all dates - but for those interested, they've already scheduled a repeat of "Bon Voyage" for Sunday 20th May at 8pm.

VM is still scheduled to air episode 18 at 9pm on May 15th, right after "Bon Voyage". On the following Tuesday, May 22nd, it does get a double-header, showing both episodes 19 and 20, starting at 8pm.

Either Robert Caitlin has inside information or he knows more about VM than GG and leapt to conclusions.

Was it posted here? Lauren Graham's interview for Columbia Spectator, April 20, on the work on Gilmore Girls and her college experience:
The most interesting GG related parts:

Quote:

SPEC: Getting back to the show, you are now a producer for the show as well as playing Lorelai, so how has the creative process changed or expanded for you?

LG: A lot changed this year because the creator of the show wasn't there anymore, so I think we all had to find a new process. There are a lot of different ways to be a producer on a TV show, and they gave me that title to acknowledge that my role in the process had increased slightly. We're now at a point in this show where the actors have been there the longest, and the whole process of how the show happens is of interest to me ... you know, on a larger scale, where's the story going, what's going to happen, and just sort of just being in on that discussion a little earlier.

As an actor, you just get a script, you don't ever know what's going to happen to your character, and by the time the script is written, you're far along, and that's pretty much what's going to happen. I feel like this character is so familiar to me, and I have such affection for the whole of the show that I just wanted to know where I was headed this year. So they were nice to include me in that.

About the next season:

Quote:

SPEC: So I know we're almost out of time, and I know you've been asked this a million times before, but what's the deal with talk of the eighth season?

LG: [Laughs] I just don't really know how to answer 'cause it's up in the air. I think we would like to come back if we feel like all the elements are in place-and that's not a euphemism for money-I really mean, if we feel like we can do it in a way that makes us happy creatively. You know, it does start to become-these one-hour jobs as an actor-it's a pretty tough schedule, and so you start to weigh quality of life with the incredible blessing of having a steady acting job, and it's surprising that over time it's actually a conflict. So if we can do it in a way that still makes the show really good, and can maybe make it manageable for the actors, then there may be a reason to come back.

Did the dude with the two hour finale also write the bit about Rory graduating from Harvard?

nst · 04-23-2007, 03:18 PM

thanks for the new thread

and I don't like April - never have never will - I do like that Luke got to experience fatherhood but she is annoying
