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!

*Pets pretty new thread*

Thanks for setting us up, gjoni.

Earlier caf asked if it was 7:40, 7:45 or 7:55 we were betting on for the kiss. Is it weird that I feel like 7:55 is a safe bet, but not which episode to bet on?

Cappuccino · 04-20-2007, 12:41 AM

Thank you

So, there HAS to be a S8! IMO

He bought a new boat in one day, things change and I hope he is not going back into his shell but confronts her right away. I hope she is on the phone somewhere when Luke hears it. Uh let her be in her office at the Dragonfly, door a bit open so he can listen to the conversation and when she hangs up he enters

She knows he had hurt it and looks a bit embarrassed and shy - you know the rest

schmusibu · 04-20-2007, 12:42 AM

Thanks for the new thread, gjoni!

lancer1993 · 04-20-2007, 12:44 AM

Thanks for the new thread gjoni.

notoutforawalk and schmusibu no MA did give an ep but he said soon, which basically means before the season is out, I hope

What? They end up on her desk?

Cappie · 04-20-2007, 12:46 AM

Thanks gjoni :-)

I love the 7.21 descripton.

Oh and Cappucino. I noticed that some has changed their vote in our little poll. Is that really ok? I mean there's not much fun in seeing who guesses the right episode if it's ok to chance guesses when new spoilers come that indicates something else that you guessed at first.
I don't mean to nitpick - I'm really not that kind of person. I'm just curiuos and asking ;-)
*don't slap me, please*

Hellooo, promo. I've missed you since yesterday :-D

ETA So I'm slow. I just realized that since it's afterall only a few names that chanced places it could be because they were placed in the wrong place in the first time. If that's the case ignore my msg or just ignore it all together. I'm promo-blinded and have no clue what I'm saying LOL

Hee. That would prove she actually has an office. We wouldn't want that, would we?

Tea-Bee · 04-20-2007, 12:57 AM

Morning everyone!

Thanks for the thread gjoni!

I also like the 21 description!
And I hope that they clear the situation right away and I really like that desk idea of schmusibu !

Cappie · 04-20-2007, 01:00 AM

So in 7.21 Lorelai is embarrased and Luke hurt. (Like it). Late 7.21 they declare their feelings and share a kiss and some serious make-up hankypanky. 7.22 We see them as a happy couple. Very sure of their feelings. I would have guessed for a proposal but with S8 coming, it might wait until then.

(Spec, not spoiler at all)

I don´t think so....also Dopey will completely ruin this ep for me.....no reconciliation til 7.22 8:55p.m. IMO

and Danke for the thread

Yeah I changed some votes but most of the voters sticked to their choice but I'm not going to change anything anymore since episode 19 is right around the corner. So the poll is closed

Ok, but I now think it´ll be in 7.22.....

LG - Life's Good · 04-20-2007, 01:44 AM

Köszi for the thread!

I didn't want to change my vote, because as Cappie said, what's the fun then?

But I agree with Fuzzy, ep 7.22 8:55pm.

gjoni · 04-20-2007, 01:48 AM

Nah, you're all being too optimistic.
I say 8.01, between 8:55 - 8:59pm est.
