Hi everyone. I’d like to remind you all that this is the main Gilmore Girls spoiler thread, and as such, posters from various shipper groups are free to post here, so if you see someone saying something that you don’t like about “your” favorite character or couple, don’t start fighting with them on this thread, and don’t go into a Gilmore Girls shipper thread if you don’t like the couple that the shipper thread is for. People are free to criticize upcoming events on Gilmore Girls as they read the upcoming spoilers, but don’t use this thread as a free-for-all to bash any characters or couples that you don’t like, or their fans, or you’ll find that you’ll be deprived of the privilege of reading and speculating about Gilmore Girls spoilers again here. Thanks in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

Written by Jerry D, along w/ NikNak (Nikki) and Evil Poptart (Holly)

Episode 7.11 - Santa's Secret Stuff
Airdate: January 23rd

Writer: Rebecca Rand Kirshner
Director: Lee Shallat Chemel

TheCW: Rory (Alexis Bledel) returns from London after the holidays. Lorela (Lauren Graham) is disappointed that Rory celebrated Christmas in London with Logan, but decides to have a "Christmas after Christmas" celebration as a new family complete with trees, decorations and shopping. Luke (Scott Patterson) asks Lorelai to write a character recommendation letter for his custody battle with Anna over April

TheCW: LORELAI MAKES CHRISTMAS WAIT FOR RORY'S RETURN -- Rather than celebrating Christmas while Rory (Alexis Bledel) is in London over the holidays, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe) decide to put their holidays on hold.
Once Rory returns to Stars Hollow, they decorate several Christmas trees, do their shopping and even bake Christmas cookies for the first time as a family. Turning up unexpectedly at the inn, Luke (Scott Patterson) asks Lorelai to write a character recommendation letter for his custody battle over April (Vanessa Marano). Lorelai struggles to write the letter until she and Rory run into Luke and April at the mall and Lorelai suddenly remembers how important Luke has always been in Rory's life. Inspired, Lorelai writes the letter and mails it to Luke's attorney.
Rory decides she will write an apology letter to her friend Lucy (Krysten Ritter), explaining why she and Marty kept their past friendship a secret. Melissa McCarthy and Keiko Agena also star. Lee Shallat Chemel directed the episode written by Rebecca Rand Kirshner.

TV Guide.com: Since a Christmas celebration was postponed while Rory was in London, the festivities begin when she crosses the pond, marking the first time Rory, Lorelai, and Christopher celebrate as a family; Luke asks Lorelai to write a letter of recommendation on his behalf in his custody battle over April; and Rory writes a letter apologizing to Lucy for keeping her relationship with Marty a secret and explaining the reasons why she did.

From Ausiello: This episode marks a major turning point in the Luke/Lorelai/Christopher triangle.

From Saranoh: There's more to the break-up than just Chris being an idiot. It's not black-and-white. It's complex and Lorelai will not get off scot-free. It has nothing to do with how Lorelai feels about Luke - confirmation. Lorelai's decision has to do with more than just Christopher's bratty behavior and Lorelai will learn something.

- DR says C and L “are eternally tied through Rory”
FROM NJ.COM BLOG:INTERVIEW WITH DR

- "Lane and Zach got married, married life is going to bring a lot of challenges and surprises for them.
From the DR interview: LL won't be similar to Rory rift. "I’m not saying it’s always going to be pleasant or pretty, I mean, they’re two adults and they’re going to have to deal with what’s happening.” (Maureen Ryan, Chicago Tribune)

She stood in his doorway - heartbroken after "ending" things with Luke. She didn't really want to talk to him after that and he knew that. If he knew her so well as he always said, he would have known what kind of relationship and friendship she had with Luke. He would have known that he was just the rebound guy or at least that he should have given her more time to get over the whole thing. Hell she even told him she didn't trust him, them and only 5 minutes later she already invited him in. Hello red flag going up there but as I said before his big ego didn't allow him to see the red flags. He maneuvered himself into that mess. He should have switched on his brain from time to time and he would have smelled what Lorelai was cocking but again his ego: I'm THE Christopher Hayden - Lord of the Gilmore Girls World.

You make a very good argument, for CHRIS ending it or it ending by MUTUAL decision. Because if Lorelai ends it all on her own, like Arnold, he'll be back. Oy to the vey!

So let him come back. She doesn't want him anymore. It's OVER. He's only making a fool out of himself if he comes back and tries again. It WON'T work. She is OVER him but I think he will get that confirmation letter someday.

ETA: Ephiphany Central: Will the Real Lorelai please stand up?

Gets my vote then.

Lots of people claim it was over after WBB. But it wasn't. If it's all Lorelai she can epiphanize something else next week. She's done it before. What's to prevent it happening again?

Thanks for the thread. Reposting since I waited too long before:

Chances are that she's going to miss the deadline (of February?) to apply. Afterall, once Richard collapses, I doubt she'll be thinking straight for awhile.

In essence, her decision will be made for her in that she will probably miss the deadline.

As for questions, I don't understand this - really. What exactly about her relationship is she questioning? When in a relationship people just continue going on until they talk TOGETHER and decide on where they want to go. Why exactly would she be questioning it in the sense that she's not sure if she should continue on with it or not? It makes no sense whatsoever.

This is very true, and it will only confirm even more that the writers of this show are lazy and can't even research a simple thing. I've been running around trying to complete grad. school applications myself. In addition to having to ask teachers for recommendations (and giving them time to write them and get them back to you), you have to take the GREs, write numerous personal statements, fill out applications, and request transcripts (the places I am applying all want me to send the transcripts, so I have to get them sent to me by where I'm going now and then I have to put them together with other materials to send to where I'm applying). Several due dates have passed and several are coming up in a week or two. Unless they miraculously had Rory doing all of this off-screen without showing her making that decision, there's no way it will be realistic. I wish the writers had showed something significant about her future.

I think it's very brave of Lorelai to end things - she knows that everyone in her life who matters to her will be angry: Rory, Emily and Richard. And the idea that she should "try and make it work for Chris's sake" is incredibly demeaning - to Chris! Even he deserves someone who really loves him - not someone going through the motions so as not to hurt his feelings.

As for Rory: wow, she develops a crush on a youngish "older man" who is TA while her boyfriend is putting all his energy into his career. Let's burn her at the stake!!
Maybe Logan needs to pay a little more attention to her.

ETA: I like Parlez-vous "Divorce."

And you're making Rory a poor little victim. There's absolutely no evidence that Logan is putting all of his energy into his career and paying little attention to her. He was able to get 2 weeks off, from his controlling father, to go on a nice European vacation with Rory. And he's there for Rory during the Richard health crisis, where he'll likely have to leave work unexpectedly (as he should). So maybe you should wait before blaming RORY'S crush on the TA on Logan.

In addition to having to ask teachers for recommendations (and giving them time to write them and get them back to you), you have to take the GREs, write numerous personal statements, fill out applications, and request transcripts (the places I am applying all want me to send the transcripts, so I have to get them sent to me by where I'm going now and then I have to put them together with other materials to send to where I'm applying). Several due dates have passed and several are coming up in a week or two. Unless they miraculously had Rory doing all of this off-screen without showing her making that decision, there's no way it will be realistic. I wish the writers had showed something significant about her future.

And you're making Rory a poor little victim. There's absolutely no evidence that Logan is putting all of his energy into his career and paying little attention to her. He was able to get 2 weeks off, from his controlling father, to go on a nice European vacation with Rory. And he's there for Rory during the Richard health crisis, where he'll likely have to leave work unexpectedly (as he should). So maybe you should wait before blaming RORY'S crush on the TA on Logan.

I forgot about the GREs. Well, Rory hasn't done that either.
