I remember, somewhere I heard about Rory's trust fond. Am I right?

That's what I thought.

Her trust fund from Trix was supposed to be $250,000. But the Gilmores aren't anywhere near the level of wealth as the Huntzburgers.

Its possible that part of the inheritence the Gilmores received from Trix's will got put into Rory's trust fund and it is currently much more than $250,000.

Again, this place, is not all about BLINDLY SPECING. Sometimes the show gives you answer. You just have to be receptive to them.

It's called an opinion.

And - just out of curiosity. Who was I "defending"?

$250,000 wouldn't buy a one bedroom condo in DC. It never ceases to amaze me that E&R didn't put more money towards Rory's trust fund rather than erect a building at Yale with her name on it. It seems to me they were doing that more for themselves, not her. Oh well, it's their money.

FYI - Fraz on FB has the transcript for a new audio promo for NEXT WEEK.

well, duh. I never said that wasn't what was going to happen. But he's still the heir and being groomed by Mitchum to take over for him one day.

We don't know, but I believe he's recieving interest payments off the principle based on the way large family trusts are usually set up. It's not that difficult.

There's a difference between the way she stated, Logan .....goes to Daddy etc., etc., and saying I think Logan will go to daddy. She's stating things as if they've already happened or she knows. Not as if she's speccing. Being clear and coherent about what you're talking about makes misunderstandings less likely. If she thinks Logan will run to Mitchum, then phrase it in that manner. That's NOT how she phrased her post. And she's not even getting the implication nor the facts of the known dialogue correct. Consulting a transcript or the scene itself might be warrented.

No. She knew about his business related stuff before it happened. Didn't mean she had anything to do with it, but it wasn't old news. He filled in the details. Rewatch their first scene in ILP. She knows all about the first company he's buying in TGS, before he ever shows up on the roof. She's filled him in on everything going on with her parents, as it was happening. Honestly, they're living on different continents at that point, I'm really not sure what exactly you want from them. They're communicating in the only ways they can to keep one another informed in as many ways as is possible.

Again, what exactly do you want? Yes, they saved the YDN as a joint project. They both were AT YALE at that point. Which makes doing joint projects a lot easier. They're living in 2 different cities, and including one another and supporting one another as much as is possible while living in 2 separate cities. Sorry if Logan wasn't in the classroom with Rory when Richard collapsed, he got there as quickly as was humanly and mechanically possible. At this point there's little to plan together. He's supporting & encouraging Paris's lunacy with the end of school project. Beyond the fact that he's moved close enough to be able to spend much more time with her, what else is there? They have to go into business together? They looked for a new apartment for him together. I really don't get what your gripes are. Is she supposed to ask him if she should or shouldn't finish school? If he thinks she should go into journalism?

And maybe I don't really care how you feel about them.

Maybe he should have given her a kidney or vice versa whether either of them needed it or not.

I noted the bold part. That is, Laura won but the other person wouldn't agree. I guess Laura is just being the bigger person.

Then why waste so much energy on dissecting the minutia?

For me, part of the problem is that RL are living very separate lives, so much of their interaction is each telling the other what's going on. I want to see them sharing more experiences, so I'm looking forward to dinner with Nitchum, touring Sh, and so on.

Seriously? That's an awfully shallow and dismissive way to remember their relationship. They've worked through problems both large and small... together.
Thinking back, he has done so many lovely things for her - and she appreciates them.

As are we all.

They're supporting each other, yes, but I don't see them merging their lives, I guess I don't see those lives interacting yet.

*ducks*

1. You didn't know if Logan "cared about it" after 7.05 and 7.08? 7.13?
I guess people really do see different things after watching the same scenes.

2. I really don't get what that means.

3. Well, to be fair, it would be rather difficult to "merge your life" with someone if you're living in London while that person is in New Haven. I guess it's easier if you're in New York; but if you're busy with business while your girlfriend is a senior in college outside of the City, again, just how much "merging of their lives" could you possibly expect? Luke and Lorelai live in the same town, close to each other, and yet this year they might have lived in opposite planets, as far as the writers were concerned. If anything, I think Rory and Logan have been portrayed as overcoming the difficulties of a long-distance relationship (something that kills many a relationship) with remarkable skill; they seem stronger now to me than at the start of the year. I believe they have done quite a bit of "merging", considering they have been, in effect, separated for most of the year. As for further "merging"; perhaps that is to come. Certainly the sides to 7.18 would seem to be a promising continuation.

4. Perhaps you should.

Correcting the record. Simple as that.

I would agree. But like I said, at this time, her in school, him working, they're doing as well as I could ever hope they could be doing at this point. They are living separate lives, I've never denied that, but they're BOTH living them, not just him, they're including one another as much as possible.

ETA ~ As for the bet, I'm sure it will be clear what the arbitrator's opinion was at some point when blaab posts about the episode. I agreed to use this icon and another one later in the week, despite the fact that it was unnecessairy to do so. Franzi is using a Sophie icon and should, as per the terms of the agreement, also post here this week.

peachypeep · 02-19-2007, 05:14 PM

Boy, do we need spoilers, sides, promos, something....

Where's craig? I think we some new polls:

Will LL kiss this season? And will SP & LG make it look more realistic than the CL kisses?

Will RL get engaged/married/pregnant?

Will Tayolr and Miss Patty kiss?

Will we ever hear the words "Mr Kim" uttered on the show?

At least there's one thing to be happy about:

A new audio promo is up for 7.16. I have yet to see the TS but some talk of it is already going on at the LL thread.
