Wow, very insightful. That would tie in with the sl very neatly. Rory is upset with Lorelai for what goes down with Luke and Chris, and can't understand how her mother has feelings for both men, and why she would hurt both of them, although inadvertently.

Very good spec Mag! Let's hope DR does indeed have this type of insight in mind!

Great spec, Mag! Especially when you consider Rory's ONLY role this season has been to be a reactor to Lorelai.

So yes, I do now believe that the TA situation, will somehow REALLY be about Lorelai. Because really, isn't everything this season?

TheJSW · 01-23-2007, 10:41 AM

Well, according to Hawk, and he probably has the right insights. The whole MARTY and LUCY affair occured. So Rory could tell her momma, that LYING IS BAD. Thus entering reason NUMBER FREAKIN ONE as to why SITCOMS ARE DEAD. Since writers like the GGWT, have no idea how to tell A, B, and C storylines. May their time-management skillz improve this year.

Oh yeah...NEW EPISODE...........TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially if you compare it with this words:

Today's reason why we love Gilmore Girls... love triangles.
Besides the current Luke, Lorelai and Christopher scene, Stars Hollow has had a grand tradition of throwing a new guy (or a past love) into the mix. It wasn't so long ago that Rory had to make the choice between Dean and Logan, with a little bit of Jess thrown in for fun. Remember when Lorelai dated Jason Stiles? You could tell (and probably hoped) that that wouldn't last. These new guys spark controversy, breathe new life into the show and force us to choose our favorites.

If that's the case, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was. It would fit well with Rory's SL this year. But that means the writers have no recollection of Rory's previous SLs. S2 and 3 had Rory having feelings for two guys throughout pretty much the entire time. She already understands split feelings. But, with the care the writers have been giving her, this seems VERY likely. Especially since the Marty SL seems to be about LLC.

Not to change the topic, but my big question re tomorrow's episode is wether it's going to be all flat and disjointed and silly like the season so far, with Lorelai and Chris playing happy families like everything is just wonderful, clutching and petting eachother and singing tra-la-la around the Christmas trees, and then suddenly Lorelai deciding, "Oh, yes, I used to love Luke, I will write a support letter for him which will conveniently being my marriage crashing down and get rid of Christopher." Or wether they really will start to develope something believable and dramatic and pulled together.

pimbolina · 01-23-2007, 11:26 AM

I still think that the crush Rory has isn’t serious and is just something to bring the Marty SL with his own crush for Rory to an end. Like Rory realizing that while being in love you can still have a harmless little crush on someone else. As long as she doesn’t act on her crush, I don’t see a problem.

TheJSW · 01-23-2007, 11:34 AM

They sure do make you choose sides. They sure do.

Don't know, really. The writing has been rather spotty and uneven this season, with what I thought were reasonably well-written episodes combining with, well, not so well-written episodes.

I'm trying not to think about it. I'm hoping the "pleasantly surprising" stuff kicks in tonight, right away.

Thanks for the link and it's totally true, they only bought Chris back for the ratings, kinda back fired then didn't it? Ratings have done frakken nothing in the last 10 eps.

That blurb about love triangles is wrong Rory never had to make a decision between Logan and Dean. She and Dean broke up and later on she and Logan dated it. It wasen't a love triangle. The only love triangle was in S3 and S2 with Dean and Jess

Because you cannot control your feelings. As much as you look for stability you might find your self having feelings for someone other than your partner.

It's not easy but maybe now I can see why DR is givin' Rory this plot: because this time - compared to when she was with Dean and she fell for Jess - she's in an adult relationship, one where she has invested a lot and she will find her self in a much tougher situation than in the past.

And this things happens when you are a grown up. It'll be a simple crush, she will not fall in love with the TA, but still she'll have a crush on one hand and a big, adult relationship in the other and this will lead her to pond things, to put them in perspective. Maybe she'll learn also something. As someone said before: maybe this experience will make her see life in a less of a "black or white".
