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.

I agree that she has had a wonderful middle being mother, and has a special bond with Rory... but whats wrong with doing it again, and this time not alone? i mean yeah she's had the experience, but if she wants to do it again with someone she loves and will help her, and be around, then she should!

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.

LORELAI: Yeah, that's good, 'cause I like to entertain. You know. I should have been a monkey in Washington square park with, like, a snappy hat. I feel so stupid. I really had myself believing it was gonna happen. I bought that stupid dress, and now it's just hanging there, mocking me. And the crazy thing is, I am ready to get married. I am ready to start the next phase of my life. I want another kid, and I, I don't want to wait anymore. I don't want to be patient. I've been patient long enough. I'm not happy, and I feel crappy all the time. And I just think I've had it.

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..

Exactly she WANTS another baby, its not that she hasnt had the experience, but she wants one... Namely with Luke!

According to Lorelai in SS, her middle included marrying Luke and having children. Or am I remembering that scene wrong?

Anyway, I think it would be nice for Luke to be able to experience the first 12 years of his child's life, and for Lorelai to experience raising a child with an involved father around. It doesn't mean their lives aren't complete already. However, it doesn't mean that it wouldn't add something worthwhile to their lives either.

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.

ETA:

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.

So their assumptions are proposterous but your own is just good sense? Sure you're obviously allowed your opinion. But AB is an actress. Part of her job is publicity. She may be private about her personal life but that's not the only type of publicity. She's not getting any if she's never metioned in relation to the show because she doesn't have an SL.

I notice you didn't comment on my point that her crappy SL doesn't mean she gets what she "wants" in terms of less time working. Whatever. It seems like this is something you're very invested in for some reason. So continue on.

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.

Hmm. Alexis seems to be working more now than before their winter break. Every time I went on tour this week, her car was there. And it were various hours of the day.

Also, I found something out about Rory and Logan: Rory is going to make Logan a birthday breakfast in his New York apartment. I think this is for episode 7.15

I couldnt agree more.. Its just something that they both want... Not that they'll die miserable if it doesn't happen, but since they both want it they should get it. together

Thanks for this information! Sounds like a good scene to look forward to.

Well for me the show wouldn't be complete without it and Lorelai's journey wouldn't be complete without it. Same goes for Luke. Since those subtle hints were there throughout the show I want to see that happen.

So much potential cuteness. Maybe Logan will blurt out an impulsive proposal!

Why are you doing this? If you have a problem with me, please take it off the board and pm me.

Do you know if she is working the same as in the past? I know some posters have actually counted up her screen time, but as for actual time spent on set who knows. As for being "invested", I am just giving another view of the situation. Disagree with me if you like (which you have) but this is what I feel the need to comment on whenever I see someone assume that she is unhappy.

lorelaisgirl · 02-01-2007, 02:25 PM

Oh, Emily and Richard were in 7.15 too.
And Liza Weil's car was on the lot today, so I'm assuming she's there too. lol. That should be for episode 7.16, since they're shooting that now.
