Ok, thanks.
Still I don't think the TA will be a big problem for R/L.

I don’t think it’s a big deal either and they already messed R/L up enough. At first with Logan thinking he might not be good boyfriend material, which he proved wrong countless times now, Rory dropping out of Yale. Logan confronting her, they had the bridesmaids and Jess, living together, living apart, living together, living apart, Bobby, the whole Marty/Lucy mess, Rory’s article, and so on… why do they feel the need they have to bring on the TA with a crush? I would rather have R/L face “normal” problems and show them with the family again, Gilmore and Huntzberger.

I agree and I wish they would STOP using other people to screw up couples all in the name of "good drama" they have done it with Rory and Lorelai countless times.

I don't know if this is news for you or if you even care, but according to this TV and Sympathy Scott Cohen (Max Medina) is cast for ASP's new show.

hope this is the rigfht place to post this...

lancer1993

Thanks for that elle

I saw the info (a different link) on another thread about Scott Cohen's new ASP show a couple of days ago, at least we can be 99% sure Max isn't coming back to mess things up between L&L

OT - is still having problems?

Captain Hawkeye

Since we have the "Rory will have no new love interest" spoiler, I'm guessing the TA will have no effect on anything--S8 or not.

I mean
a) he's not recurring
b) recurring characters like Lucy, Olivia, Bobbi, Nick & Phillip have had no effect
c) if he's not a love interest he can't really affect Rory's love life unless he gives too much homework

I never thought for a second that there would be a season eight. This show is such a ghost of its former self. I get that the new regime has made LG's life easier because they are not so picky, but the result of their lack of talent and pickiness has changed the show too much for me. She even says the show doesn't sound like Amy, and that to me is a tacit acknoweledgement of how different it is now.

AB and LG are single women who have honored their seven year contract; seem to be ready to move on and why not? They are likely financially set for life from this show and now they could pursue some independent films, even theater if they wanted to - they can schedule their time so they have more free time for their personal lives.

I will be sad to see the last of them but then I think I saw the last of the true GG show last year anyway so I would be okay with a resolution that shows L/L married and maybe with a time skip, show Lorelai pregnant - Rory on whatever path she chooses to pursue - and still together with Logan. As I've said before, if they end it, I'd really like a two hour finale - but, who knows.

TV GUIDE PODCAST JANUARY 26, 2007

DM = Daniel Manu
MA = Michael Ausiello
AC = Angel Cohn
MMcD = Maitland McDonagh

START 19.40

DM: And finally, you know, we’ve been getting – as we always joke about – tons of letters about Gilmore Girls; this week it’s finally justified---
AC: Yaaaaaayyy!
DM: Mike, what did you think of the actual episode that aired this week?
MA: Oh, I actually enjoyed the episode, I thought there were some really nice moments in there.
AC: What?
MA: What?
DM: Uhoh.
MA: I did. There were some really funny moments in there; I loved the Lorelai and Rory’s kind of little walk through town and have their – what I thought was- having their really nice mother-daughter moment, which we hadn’t seen in a while. I enjoyed the stuff about Lorelai kinda struggling over the letter with Luke; and there were some --- I thought the Lane stuff was pretty funny, yeah it was kinda silly but they made her as big as they did.
AC: She’s huge.
MA: She’s huge; what kind of made me laugh.
DM: She looks like a, you know, an aircraft carrier.
AC: Yes.
DM: […] planes on her.
AC: I thought she were gonna give birth that episode.
MA: Yeah.
AC: I just --- we were watching it wondering how much of the episode Dan Sookie’d.
DM: Uhm, not that much, but you know what, I agree with a listener who wrote in the other week ‘April must die; she’s really really annoying.’
MA: Yeah. That’s kinda--- yeah, I agree.
DM: And plus, she’s probably gonna hit puberty sometime this season, she’s now like 6 feet tall and stuff, and, you know, with the microscope, and uhh, enough.
AC: Anytime Christopher was on, I just, like, it just drove me insane. I just --- it’s so awkward. Between them.
DM: Mike, we got a letter for you from Sylvia in Italy, who sends you greetings from ‘the deep of her heart’ and she says she just watched the Gilmore Girls promo for the next episode, she’s still shocked, she heard Lorelai say ‘I love you’ to Chris for the thousandth time, “after all these I love yous to Chris, do you think a reunion with Luke is still believable?”
MA: Yes, because you --- I think you can love two people. I think it’s believable; ‘cause I think she --- I do believe she loves Christopher, but I think her soulmate and who she’s in love with is Luke.
AC: Right, but like, the thing that really bothered me about the episode was, the whole time she was writing that letter – which I do agree was very sweet, and it was nice to see her like, you know, really giving some thoughts to how this would affect Luke’s life, but the whole time I’m like ‘she’s keeping it a secret from Christopher, this is so gonna blow up in her face’, like, I feel like, she last year was flipping, you know, ‘cause Luke was keeping secrets from her, and now she’s keeping secrets from him; it’s like, you know, you were mad about that, but you’re doing the same thing.
MA: No, no, I do agree with you there.
AC: It just kind of frustrated me.
MA: Yeah.
DM: And, Mike, Mike you had some really potential interesting news in your column this week about what could happen on a season 8.
MA: Potential news on what could happen.
DM: Yes, potential.
MA: There’s rumour --- some people are interpretating this as they’re gonna --- she’s not --- Alexis has already decided she’s not coming back, which isn’t true. Uhm, but they’re working on all kinds of scenarios and one of those scenarios is, you know, that she wouldn’t be featuring prominently in the season, you know, if Alexis didn’t wanna sign on.
AC: But those are my favorite scenes, you know, like the scenes where it’s just Rory and Lorelai. Like those, that’s like the heart of the show for me. So if she’s not around, like it’s just, if it feels like it’s missing something.
MA: Yeah, and it reeks of just eching out another season of a show that should probably end this year.
AC: Right.
DM: But it’s interesting; is there a scenario for if Lauren Graham is not around? Or…
MA: No. If Lauren Graham doesn’t come back, then there’s no show.
DM: And the scenario if Alexis doesn’t come back you reported, is that Luke and Lorelai would have a baby.
MA: Well, possibly. That’s one of them. And there’s also a scenario that if they don’t have a baby, it’ll still be sort of focussed on their relationship. You know, when Rory would pop in during sweeps and such. But they’re batting a number of scenarios around, this is one of them talked about, so, you know, it caused a little bit of an uproar, but um, you know, it’s all sort of tentative.
DM: It is tentative, I mean we don’t even know if it’s gonna come back at all. Next season.
MA: Not at all.
DM: So it could all be for nothing.

Errare humanum est.

Cappuccino

No idea if that side is reliable or not but I found that here

I updated some things in the first three posts. I'm trying to go back to sleep now, seeing as it's only 6.17am here, and in my head it feels like 3.17pm. Gotta love jetlags.

clmorrow

I had assumed the TA would be in more than one episode. Usually you don't go from "flustered" to "crush" in just one episode and be done with it - it would seem like a really peculiar thing to just drop in and then have it disappear in the course of one episode.

When should we get cast info for 7.15? Or, did we already? I'm confused.

boru

Yes Lauren this show could have ended on a high note if it had started on one!

I'm having flashbacks to the end of Star Trek Voyager that took me years of therapy to get over. You know the rush to clean up a mess that, in the case of Voyager, the Clown College threw together and forced down the fans throats.

Lauren (shades of Mulgrew) please don't tow the party line of everything could be sunshine and lollipops when we fans are sitting here scratching our heads over damn few episodes left to fix what shouldn't have been broken in the first place. Especially when I'm confused by how breaking it to jury-rig the pieces back together in a rush to finale makes us all go "Yeah!"

All I need to see now on this show is Lorelai older self going back in time to save Chris from the mental breakdown she finally caused him. Rory will have had Wesley the TA's half-Klingon love child because Logan made the mistake of dressing in red one day before an away mission and well you know how that goes. Since Lorelai obviously doesn't have a sense of time she will not make it back at the proper coordinates to save him. Emily and Richard have been in a deep freeze like the rest of Stars Hallow to be awaken at the end so they can all sing Brigadoon while dancing a jig.

Luke? Well Luke has walked off into the sunset with a bombshell blonde in a silver catsuit half his age!

Every time an actor says stuff like this I think "Here we go again."

I seriously hope she's right.

I forgot to mention this yesterday, but Welcome Back Blaab!

A recuring TA would be great for setting up a "Rory thinking about Grad School SL" It won't become anything romantic since our most accurate spoiler source has said that "Rory will have no new love interest".

pimbolina

Since Voyager I can't say how much I despise the word "journey" look were if got them. I can only hope Lorelai's journey ends on a better note and they don't leave the rest of the cast behind in the Delta Quadrant.

2ggObsessed

Thanks for the transcript of the podcast lorelaisgirl.

So Angel finds Lorelai and Christopher awkward together. What's with the repetitive use of the word "like". She used it a total of 12 times in her conversations and 6 times alone in one speaking turn.

ETA

I seem to recall them making it back home safely together. Kess (sp) didn't but the main characters did. So there's great hope for LL.

pimbolina

Sure almost everybody made it home, only not the occasional ensign with the one ep SL who had to got killed. But when they finally got home, it wasn't how or with whom I expected it to be. And instead of Kes they should have left Seven behind. The one pair who should have been together at the end IMO, didn’t end up together because there was one blond who got two big “arguments”. So according to this “journey” I wouldn’t be to optimistic for LL.
