Quote of the Thread

USA Today - Robert Bianco 5/17/05

Still, even if Rory's actions seem absurd, the impact they have on Lorelai most assuredly isn't. I imagine most parents will be able to identify with Lorelai's anguish, and I'm certain no actor could convey the mountain-to-valley emotional ride Lorelai endures in this hour better than Lauren Graham. Yet whenever Gilmore threatens to become too glib or coy, Graham's wit and honesty rein it back in. She's the rare star who can bring a show both light and depth — and the goodwill she's earned for Lorelai lets her slam home a surprise that will make you gasp.

Show LG some love! It's good for the complexion.

Thank you! Yeah, I tried to make a banner with one cap from each episode this season, but I didn't like the end result, so I started over and that's what I ended up with!

[Playing The Angel]

thanks for the new thread by the way!!

[A. B. Normal]

Thanks guys!

The new TWOP recapper is getting on my good side with comments like this:

"It was then, sadly, that I discovered Luke could not read," says Lorelai. Just about everything that comes out of her mouth cracks me up.

[KCsGirl]

[Nadine]

I just love that she delivered that line with a straight face

[.::Tati::.]

She was so hot on last week's episode! I mean, I know she's always hot but I dont know why I thought that she was hotter, if that's even possible, last week...

[jediwands]

Lauren, she better win an EMMY, Graham, was absolutely stunning in that last scene. The way she had Lorelai look at Luke in such a way, you could almost hear her mind think, as everything was running through her mind.. You could even see whenever she came to the revelation to ask him.. Her smile was the key that showed she knew what she wanted to do. That last scene was so compelling, I still haven't recovered from it.

She was absolutely breathtaking this entire episode.

Did I mention how much I love Lauren? What an acting miracle.
