Same here, that means she was in her late 20s when GG started, definitely looked older to me.

Yeah I thought she was older but in the original pilot she played Sookie and looked very young. Pity she didn't stick around to bug Michel some more

Thanks for the latest news.

I aslo thought Alex looked older when we first saw her.

Question must be....why should they play it.....

Today, here, they showed the ep where Lorelai finds out about April but cut 3 minutes from the ep, including the scene where Lorelai tells Rory. I know it's the start of their downward spiral but they are treading the show so badly here!

You can't play what doesn't exist

But it was one of the best scenes of that ep, showing how confused Lorelai was. But what more can I expect when they are basically using it as filler on Sunday afternoons!

good point!

Capp- your avi is funny!
the SD stand for Super Dad?

Why should they play S7? Because their are some Sophie and BB fans who like some of the episodes

jensinger · 05-18-2008, 07:48 PM

I'm a Sophie but the strong JJ in me is glad they aren't playing it. I'm pretty sure the real reason has nothing to do with how bad it was, though. It's probably because they don't have the rights.

Actually, as BB, I wouldn't want to see season 7. The show was an insult to my ship after 7.07. I think no "GG" fan was happy with season 7. As well, as the ship trash we all got, Rory and Loreali just were not close anymore. It was all dreadful. Altho, I must say each shipper camp did get their moments. I will always be grateful for the first 7 eps of season 7.

I agree. The show wasn't the same -- Lorelai/Rory, the core of the show, weren't the same. Plus you could tell the writers didn't know where to go anymore -- that showed in the contradictory and sloppy storytelling. The writers did throw some bones to each ship, but ultimately it was executed terribly.

I agree, while I didn't want them married and the way they treated the whole show in the final season was a disgrace, Amy may have stuffed L&L and we'll never know her plans for S7 but DSR did worse in S7, dragging out the L&L separation then having C&L short lived marriage which they had not intention making long term but on top of that he made Lane have twins, ignored the townies and busted up Rory and Logan!

It was hard being a shipper for any of the main players!

C&L shipper · 05-18-2008, 09:26 PM

I felt Lane should have had one girl. 2 boys is so crazy. They should have carried on the girl tradition of the show! I could see Zach with a daughter.

But, the I'm not surprised that Lane had boys, the show lost the female power thing in season 7.

Yep. Sometimes I feel like I should have just shipped Sookie/Jackson or something.

But even that relationship had dishonesty because he lied about the vasectomy. I like Lane/Zach too but I thought it sucked that they made their first time sound so terrible for both of them and immediately got pregnant with twins.

Anyway, I think most of our imaginations have much better endings than the actual season did.

I think you are right about this. When season 6 had finished, abcfam didn't air it until it started the episodes over again. So if they are starting them all over again now, then they may air it with this cycle. But I dunno.

I completely agree with this as well. There was a lot missing the last season and it just wasn't good anymore.

Definitely.
