OMG. No one posted to this episode?
Wow it really breaks my heart.

Okay I'll answer the question, because I'm in a good mood today.
When I heard it first on the episode before I was curious.
I remember that I found out about it in the episode, because at that time I
wasn't reading any spoilers. I remember when Rory saw that picture at
the YDN that I was curious as hell.
Depends on who had asked for it. But yeah I think I would have done it
as well, just because it's fun.

Yes and Yes and Yes. I think the relationship was over the first
time Logan appeard. It was just a matter of time and YJIJJ was the last piece
to it.

I had a blast. It was intersting to watch Rory struggle with talking to
someone that was on the same level as her. It made thinks intersting
that there is a guy out there, that gives her contra. Normally all the guys
just were on her heels eating out of her hands n a few seconds.
It was genius to see that there was something, but he wouldn't show
the interest and leave with two girls in the end.

Yes. Who wouldn't want something from logan? As simple as that.

Uh, I loved it. The guy has some taste, was what I thought.

The talk with Logon right before the jump. No questions there.
Yep, if someone got me up that ladder.

Well no. The relationshipf was clear to me from the beginning.
The 'You jump, I jump Jack' was to me just typical Gilmore talk.

I thought it wasn't just her who couldn't let go.

To show her that she can be different, and there is something different and fun out there. So she can remember that moment always.

Yeah, she had prooven herself.

Really the episode was just perfect.

Really really important. I mean it made the whole season.
I guess it was the real kick off to a different relationship.

A great episode of season 5.

1. What did you expect when you first heard from the LDB event?
A event with people like Colin, Logan and Finn and some crazy stunt.

2. Blindfolded in the hall. Would you have done that too?
If someone like Logan would have asked me to do it and I really wanted to find something out I would have done it.

3. Do you think we could already see the end of R/D relationship and that episode?
I think you could see that something would change and Logan took her to the event, he wouldn't have done that with everyone.

4. How did you like the RL talk during the first night of the weekend?
I think Rory noticed that Logan isn't as bad as she thought he is.

5. Stephanie suspected Rory wanted something from Logan. Do you agree?
Yes. He's charming, handsome and he has an eye for dresses

6. How did you like the dress Logan gave her?
Its a beautiful dress and Rory looked amazing wearing it.

7. What do you think made Rory jump?
The talk about her never taking a risk.

8. Would you jump?
After a talk like the one Logan gave Rory and with someone holding my hand during the jump I would.

9. Do you think they hinted a relationship with letting Rory use 'You Jump, I jump, Jack', a quote from Titanic with one of the greatest lovestories with Rose and Jack?

I think the quote was just to tell Logan that she trusted him and she would jump.


10. Why do you think Rory didn'T let go of Logans hand after the jump.
I think they both enjoyed the moment together.

11. Why do you think Logan gave Rory the pictures of her jump in the end?
To remind her to take some risks in her live and to make sure she had something to remind her of the event.


12. Do you think after that weekend she was a official member of the LDB?
I hope so, but I think she was. After all she got a gorilla mask

13. General thoughts about Logan and RL in this episode
It was amazing, perfect....

14. How important is for you this episode when you look back?
I think it was really important. You could see that they could be really good for each other.

la bestia negra

1. What did you expect when you first heard from the LDB event?

Nothing to be honest. THis episode I started season 5 with. (season4 in germany ended and around that time 5x07 was airing in the USA)
So I did not get exactly everything from the beginning, and when Rory got the invitation and it was signed with the LDB I was like But I intrigued by it from the first moment on.

2. Blindfolded in the hall. Would you have done that too?

Sure why not?

3. Do you think we could already see the end of R/D relationship and that episode?

Absolutly. ´With the missing calls and cancalled meetings although for me their second relationship already ended when it started. After the summer in felt to me like they just got together because after everything that happened they should be together.

4. How did you like the RL talk during the first night of the weekend?

I was a bit surprised by it but it made me like Logan more. Especially because that was the episode that made me love him. as mentioned above it was great that there was finally some guy that had a witty response to everything she said.


5. Stephanie suspected Rory wanted something from Logan. Do you agree?

I think she thought that he was good looking but nothing more, at least not at that night, but 24 hours later...


6. How did you like the dress Logan gave her?

Great. Always nice to find a guy with a good taste.

7. What do you think made Rory jump?

I think there were a few things. She wanted to prove herself in front of LOgan, she wanted to show him that she wasn'T that sheltered. Logans words about 'people livining 100 years without really living...'

8. Would you jump?

That's actually hard to answer. spontantous maybe.

9. Do you think they hinted a relationship with letting Rory use 'You Jump, I jump, Jack', a quote from Titanic with one of the greatest lovestories with Rose and Jack?

Well it's Gilmore Girls. You never know.


10. Why do you think Rory didn'T let go of Logans hand after the jump.

11. Why do you think Logan gave Rory the pictures of her jump in the end?

I think he wanted her to give her something nice and because he knew it wouldn't be something she would use for her article but smething that could remind her on her once in a lifetime experience.

12. Do you think after that weekend she was a official member of the LDB?

I'm not sure. She got the mask and all I know. And she knew when the events were but why didn't she went with them to Costa Rica? I mean I guess that would have been not the best idea because she had trouble with Logan but shouldn't they have at least mentioned it?

13. General thoughts about Logan and RL in this episode

General. I think it was a very important episode for Logan to get to know him better. Before it the episode it felt like they introduced him but you still asked yourself. Who is this guy? What does he want? Is he really the arrogant jerk? Or is this just act? There were a lot of unanswered questioned and a few answeres we got in this episode. They showed us that he is so much more then we maybe thought. It made me get interested in the character and his background.

14. How important is for you this episode when you look back?

I think it is one of the most important episodes in season 5 for Rory and Logan, althought it was at the beginning of their history.
With the handholding and the feeling that they understood each other the showed us, or me at least that there could be something going on for them on in the future. I felt the chemistry between Matt and Alexis and the sparks between Rory and Logan after the jump.

kingdom lights

1. What did you expect when you first heard from the LDB event?
Some sort of fancy event, but I didn't expect it to be that big and elaborate.

2. Blindfolded in the hall. Would you have done that too?
If I was really truly intrigued, then sure.

3. Do you think we could already see the end of R/D relationship and that episode?
Oh yeah. If I didn't know any better and only watched the jump, I would have thought that R/L were already together .
.
4. How did you like the RL talk during the first night of the weekend?
I thought it was very interesting. It was nice to see Rory having to actually work to keep up in a conversation.

5. Stephanie suspected Rory wanted something from Logan. Do you agree?
Well, I think she felt something with him... some kind of chemistry. But I don't think she consciously acknowledged it until after the jump at least.

6. How did you like the dress Logan gave her?
Gorgeous dress, loved it

7. What do you think made Rory jump?
It was definitely the talk that Logan gave her . And like Jess said Rory probably wanted to prove to him that she could do something different just for a thrill.

8. Would you jump?
I think I would actually, it looks really fun . I'd do it just for kicks and with a guy like Logan holding my hand...

9. Do you think they hinted a relationship with letting Rory use 'You Jump, I jump, Jack', a quote from Titanic with one of the greatest love stories with Rose and Jack?
Not really, Rory just always has to have a comeback to everything. And GG's pop culture references are never ending. Maybe they did, but I wouldn't think so .

10. Why do you think Rory didn't let go of Logans hand after the jump.
I'm not sure she realized she was doing it; It probably felt natural

11. Why do you think Logan gave Rory the pictures of her jump in the end?
Pretty much what's been already said: So that Rory will be able to remember that moment in her life.

12. Do you think after that weekend she was a official member of the LDB?
I don't think so. Just like all those fanfics, I think that the LDB would have a whole initiation ceremony if she was being inducted.

13. General thoughts about Logan and RL in this episode
It was a great episode, one of my favourites looking back. I loved the chemistry

14. How important is for you this episode when you look back?
It was very important. It was the first time Rory got a look at Logan besides labeling him as the arrogant blond rich kid she happens to go to Yale with.

Strega21

1. What did you expect when you first heard from the LDB event?

Lots of fun and a great episode

2. Blindfolded in the hall. Would you have done that too?

Depends on the person who asks me

3. Do you think we could already see the end of R/D relationship and that episode?

Oh yes. The relationship was over before it really began. I think Dean was for Rory only a safe port. It was her first love - and in my opinion a great first love - but not more. Nothing that meant to be.

4. How did you like the RL talk during the first night of the weekend?

I loved it Logan was amazing in those talk (in every talk they had). He was the first male person in her life that also gave her contra.

5. Stephanie suspected Rory wanted something from Logan. Do you agree?

Look at those man Of course

Who wouldn't

6. How did you like the dress Logan gave her?

I loved it. Even if I always wondered how she was able to climb up the ladder in those dress.

7. What do you think made Rory jump?

The speech before and Logan himself. And the fact that she trusted him (even if she didn't really knew him).

8. Would you jump?

With the right person next to me .. Yes

With Logan.. yes yes yes

9. Do you think they hinted a relationship with letting Rory use 'You Jump, I jump, Jack', a quote from Titanic with one of the greatest lovestories with Rose and Jack?

No I don't think so.. maybe a little bit but it was the normal movie reference they always used in GG.


10. Why do you think Rory didn't let go of Logans hand after the jump.

Because the jump was a quite intimate moment and they weren't ready to let those moment to pass by that fast.

11. Why do you think Logan gave Rory the pictures of her jump in the end?

To show her that there is more behind Rory Gilmore. That she can be more than the nice, sweet girl from Stars Hollow. And to remember the moment they had together.


12. Do you think after that weekend she was a official member of the LDB?

Don't think so

13. General thoughts about Logan and RL in this episode

He was cute, funny and perfect.

14. How important is for you this episode when you look back?

It is one of my fav. episodes from season 5 And it was an important episode for the RL relationship

la bestia negra

perfect first boyfriend but that's it.

I forget to mention that. Good point.


beautiful words.

kingdom lights

That new fic (of strings and cables) has a great description of YJIJJ.

It even answers a few of the discussion questions .

la bestia negra

I really liked that part in the fic.

de-topping the thread for now, but of course it's still open for discussion

la bestia negra

5x07 recap

Urg it's in German, NEED TO CHANGE THAt NOW

Ahhhhhhh that is much better

I love the honk story, such a good start in the story. In general I liked episode that started with FND

'So I hear you have a new boyfriend' Just like that WHat a great way to stop the honking discussion

'I need to re-meet him' Oh Emily I miss ya. 'Next week, next week, next week' 'Honk, honk'

I just wondered why they cut Matt out of the opening credits. It took me almost 30 seconds till I realized that he wasn't in the season 5 one. Oh boy.

Am I supposed to recap completely? I didn't want to but like you might have noticed I started with FND, so...urgh I have no idea. Should I?

Nah, then I would need to recap Zach and Lane and that is BOOOOOORING

Maybe I should recap LL?

'Mother. Dinner. Us. That's like Car, crash test, crush test dummy'

Gotta love the freak outs no matter what.

'Did you just feel the ice cold wind blew through''I see dead people'

Luke introducing himself to the maid

'piano area we never really named'

'Gin' 'Do you have turret or something?'

How didn't I remember how funny that episode was? My love for RL makes me blind.

'Where did your Martini go' 'To a happy place' I wonder if my drugs make the crazy laughing self I am right now. I I'm cracking up about every sentence.

'So your recently divorced' I love Emily random discussion starts

Ah Rory enters her room, I already saw the envelope. EXCITING

Blindfold FTW!

I want to get into a secret society too, but only if there is Logan and fun, and white smoking suits...oh and Finn, there needs to be a Finn, I would even dye my hair red for him. Did that once

I need to congratulate Emily. I think she is the only person on earth putting people down without saying really bad things about them.

Rory ready in the hallway. I'm ready too.

Finn with his hate for sun. Awesome.

Gosh Logan looks so hot in the car. Am I supposed to say that in a recap. I don't know but really who cares.

Richard and Luke golfing date

Arriving at the destination. So cute that they take rounds on on babysitting Finn. With Stephanie doing it you would think they are all in one group means her sticking around in the future. LAME

Gosh I miss the leather jacket.

I think I'm writing the most odd recap in the history.

I love how everyone needs to re-meet people here



I bet it's not only looking cozy it would also be nice of them getting cozy in there together.

Dean is not in screen and I still feel annoyed by him. He has soooo much power.

I think the first date the have was the only relationship scene of them I approved of and didn't get annoyed, bored or annoyed and bored

Now Brian is there, oh a threesome. Well that would have been a interesting storyline

Aww Robert is here. Reminds me of Nick saying how sweet Matt is Nick&Matt FTW!

Stephanie Her not being allowed to talk to Rory


'Cute?' 'No' 'No?' Well yeah' 'You know there is a line'

A bear dragged her off? Oh boy IS Dean here? Okay I know that was a lame joke, my mind is doing really weird things to me today.

The famous smirk...I'm swooning here.... Would it have been random if Rory had kissed him right there, right then??

I'm sure Logan would have put her first in the line already then

He is still hot speaking with his mouth full of food.

Urgh I want Dave back. Stupid OC

The morning of the big event, how can he look so good that early? It's not fair

He so needs to wear a smoking to SAG or GG. Matt that is.

Golf date is starting

Aww they look so good together, I think without being biased it was the prettiest dress Rory ever had on

IN OMNIA PARATUS!!


Did I already mention how pretty the dress is? Rory of course too

'Is this safe?' 'NO'

'I'm bored. I wanna be a target' Oh Finn

He kinda looks like James Bond here.

'I missed the mat' 'Again?'

It kinda funny how bad Luke is in golfing when Scott is really good at it.

Or not funny at all, just interesting. Depends on how you see things.

We talked once about franchising in school. I should have mentioned Lukes Diner then. Too bad, I really should have thought about that

Ah there it is again the pretty dress Rory

We're not going to die. No one ever died. Only old ones have

Come on you look like you need a little adventure.

Oh Logan and his way with word. How was she supposed to see anything than Okay or yes? No fair!

So cute that Logan is afraid of latters <3

I wonder if Logan had a nice few under Rorys dress climbing up the latter.

You trust me? You Jump, I Jump Jack.

And I guess the potatos were okay after all.

The handholding, the first sign it was worth it to ship RL

Luke was good enough, never got why they thought it was Chris with never really caring about Rory besides the days he want to get into Lorelais pants.

It was so nice of him to get some pictures and of course the gorilla mask

They shut have put those in their apartment later or in Logans In NY not the silly episodes stills from 6x07

Oh end already? Oh damn, I was in such a nice recap mood

Eternal Flame

Gotta love FND, especially this one is a good one

This ep has a lot of hilarious moments

Such a disappointment that this was the last we saw of her, if you read fanfics you could tell many people liked her more then Rosemary and Juliet (though Rosemary comes on more in fics then Juliet)


You watch too much GoGi
Would be a bit OOC

Is he?

Love this line

meggie525

I was uber-confused at first when I saw this thread but reading it makes me want to re-watch this ep and I haven't been able to bring myself to re-watch any GG in a while. I should break it out next time I'm depressed. I'll trying and answer the Qs best I can, though.

1. What did you expect when you first heard from the LDB event?

I don't honestly remember. I was losing interest in GG before S5 but at the time I was paying more attention to LL. Logan was a blip. Look at me now. LOL

2. Blindfolded in the hall. Would you have done that too?

Probably not. I'm such a chicken.

3. Do you think we could already see the end of R/D relationship and that episode?

I think the writing was on the wall before that. I loved Dean (much better than Jess--sorry Jess) but that ship had sailed for me.

4. How did you like the RL talk during the first night of the weekend?

Liked it until the end. Silly Logan should have stayed and hung out with Rory. I think he would have enjoyed himself a lot more.

5. Stephanie suspected Rory wanted something from Logan. Do you agree?

She had to at least think he was cute. I mean, come on, she wasn't that blind. I don't think she really wanted to be in line, though, at least at that point.

6. How did you like the dress Logan gave her?

Gorgeous.

7. What do you think made Rory jump?

Their first argument as much as the present one. I think she wanted to prove something to him--sort of a "Fine, I'll do it--just to show you that I can" bit.

8. Would you jump?

Hell no. You couldn't even get me up on the platform. I have a serious issue with heights, especially open ones.

9. Do you think they hinted a relationship with letting Rory use 'You Jump, I jump, Jack', a quote from Titanic with one of the greatest lovestories with Rose and Jack?

Since this is the first time I knew where that came from, I didn't think that.

10. Why do you think Rory didn'T let go of Logans hand after the jump.

Because I think she felt a spark.

11. Why do you think Logan gave Rory the pictures of her jump in the end?

Because he knew what it meant for her to do that--and that she'd want the memories of it.

12. Do you think after that weekend she was a official member of the LDB?

Wasn't much mention of it after that. I would imagine that if she had wanted to be, she could have been. She certainly painted a relatively positive picture in her article--nothing to really make anybody mad.

13. General thoughts about Logan and RL in this episode

I don't know that I had any at the time. Wasn't paying much attention to Logan. Upon repeat viewings, though, I knew he liked her. Or she at least intrigued him. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone the extra miles he did with her. And he was shaken by her saying she had a boyfriend.

As far as their relationship went, you can see the beginnings of it. But that might be more hindsight than anything.

14. How important is for you this episode when you look back?

Sets the tone for much of their relationship and their dynamic I think. Both good and bad.

Eternal Flame

I'll respond to this tomorrow

la bestia negra

same here

Eternal Flame

haha glad you changed

Me neither, unless in this case Logan, was already my boyfriend, but not some guy you hardly met
Guess that's the reporter in Rory that took the shot

It sailed the moment Rory slept with Dean IMO and Lorelai said 'he's not your dean' how much clearer then that can we get it?

i agree then again he can't let people think he's engaged by only 1 girl who he brought along. What about his rep?

I don't think so either..

ITA

I think so too and just to not let this chance pass her up...

again ITA

You didn't?

I think they did, I think they made it that way to show a start, 'cause in a way that's how the rose/jack romance started too with Jack jumping along Rose off the boat.

Cute answer

ITA

True
but like you don't think she's a member.

Oh yeah now I remember that again, very sweet



ITA
