But seeing Rory as Luke's kid works for me too since he did some of the fatherly duties for her over all those years.

Nope. A baby boy named William Danes is a must before the show ends

ahhh.. William Danes baby perfect, and maybe even a twin girl to go as well...?

Something, as a fan of KAB and MATT and EVERYONE ELSE, I have a problem with.

It seems that so many are assuming that AB is not happy with her storyline and that is why she seems to be the one not committing to another season. I don't think that is the reason at all. I think she is happy because she isn't working the long hours and doesn't have to spend time on long scripts. In other words, she isn't unhappy. If Rory's storyline is diminished then Logan's will be because he doesn't really have one outside of her's. As for EH and KB, maybe they are also content with their time on the show.

My point is that we are all assuming a lot, and not one of us knows the whys or wherefores for the way the season has unfolded. To blame LG is preposterous unless you have solid evidence that it is so.

If I wanted to start a riot in here I would have already written down my spec for who the motel room could be (which it won't be but still kind of funny) or how I feel about Alexis being in season 8 or not.

Lorelai's letter says it best when it comes to the Rory/Luke father figure issue. At least from her point of view and that is all that matters to me because Rory doesn't need to see Luke as her father or father figure in my opinion.

That would match her dream but I would prefer a baby boy only. Since Lane has twins already and I have the feeling with Sookie pregnant now and the 4 in 4 they will maker her have twins as well so please no 7th heaven situation.

In any event, I don't know why Lorelai's life is somehow diminished if she doesn't have another baby. It's not like she hasn't had the experience of motherhood.

It's not but last year she was ready for the next stage of her life which included marriage and a baby, well she got married so what happened to wanting a baby. This week she said it's something to think about in the future or something (sorry not up to there in the TS) but she don't want to jump into it now.

What changed?

Is there a reason that every time someone mentions Rory's crappy SL you feel the need to appear and mention that Alexis must be happy? Good SL does not necessarily mean more screen time. More screen time does not necessarily mean good SL. All of us were shocked when we saw Wayne's numbers a while ago that Lorelai's screen time wasn't that much more than Rory's. But at least half of that screen time was her reacting to Lorelai's SL instead of having a coherent one of her own. That's still time that she has to be on set, working. But she's not actually doing anything. I don't imagine Alexis is happy with the fact that the majority of reviews don't even mention her character.

I have to agree. Her screentime as been used very poorly this year. And the Lucy/Olivia/Marty stuff was a complete waste, leading to nothing. And from what we know, it doesn't appear that much is going to change in terms of interesting story twists except that Logan will be in more of the latter half of the season, so that's a plus.

I think she's not jumping into it, because she, in the back of her mind, knows the reason she was ready before was because of luke.. She was ready for that step with him, not with Chris... and i think subconsciously she never thought her and chris would last forever, and never really saw a middle and then growing old together, she saw that with luke, and just because she was ready to have a baby then, doesnt mean she is now, because its with a completely different person. she is subconsciously waiting for her and luke to get back together to expand her family..

And the funny part about that scene is - they're walking straight toward Luke's

Baby, future, ending in front of Luke's - smooth Rosie, very smooth

But that is how this forum works: we assume stuff and spec all the time. And most time we have little information about what's truth.

Although I woudn't blame LG for anything, I wouldn't qualify others posters opinions "preposterous" either.

I noticed that too, and for some reason i think thats where lorelai's mind was wondering off to.

Am I not allowed my opinion? This is how I feel. My point is that I don't think that AB cares what her storyline is about as long as she gets what she wants. So many think that she should be angry about her storyline. Maybe they know her and have heard her say this. I haven't read it anywhere that the reason she hasn't yet signed is because she thinks she has be given short shrift this season. So until I do, I can assume that she is happy with it.

I didn't say their opinion was preposterous, just that the assumption was preposterous. I find it amusing that one would assume that LG is so devious.

We are all free to assume whatever we want to assume...

She's been married and she's had a baby. It's not like she's never had any of these life experiences.

Quote:

I don't think her life would be diminished. It's just a romantic notion that lots of us have after investing so many years in this couple.

I understand that but it sounds as if people are saying that Lorelai's life won't be complete without having a baby with Luke, as if neither Rory nor April rate because they weren't the biological child of the other person and that Lorelai's experience of motherhood with Rory doesn't matter in this equation. If you're talking about Lorelai's relationship with a man, that's one thing but if you're talking about her role as a mother than Lorelai has had her middle -- a very special middle.
