Website Maintenance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

This weekend FF will be down for maintenance so that we can perform some software upgrades. The work will start around 10AM PST on Saturday and last at least a few hours.

Work has also been ongoing to eliminate the database errors that have been plaguing the site lately. We apologize for the inconvience this has caused, and I'd like to assure everyone that we are working on the problem.

Any questions/comments should be directed to the Q&A board.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28

"GILMORE GIRLS" — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET)

"Knit, People, Knit!" (TV-PG) (HDTV)

STARS HOLLOW THROWS A "KNIT-A-THON" — When Christopher (David Sutcliffe) questions Lorelai (Lauren Graham) about why she has avoided involving him in the daily life of Stars Hollow, she admits her concern that her old friends may not accept him. Christopher makes an effort to bond with the townspeople, and Lorelai brings him to the town knit-a-thon, where his well-intentioned gesture brings the event to an early end. When Olivia (Michelle Ongkingo) throws a 2002-themed birthday party for Lucy (Krysten Ritter), Rory (Alexis Bledel) gets her chance to confront Marty about his coldness toward her. Finally, Luke (Scott Patterson) is touched by the birth of Liz (Kathleen Wilhoite) and T.J.’s (Michael DeLuise) baby, and when he learns that Anna (Sherilyn Fenn) is planning to move to New Mexico with April (Vanessa Marano), he demands equal rights as a parent. Liza Weil also stars. Kenny Ortega directed the episode written by David Grae

I guess Anna wants to move closer to her sick mother, this is gonna get messy. Poor Luke moight loose regular contact with April, whould he ever move?

So good going Lore, didn't think how the town might react, what it's been 6 months since you have contact with the town?

TV GUIDE PODCAST NOVEMBER 10, 2006

DM=Daniel Manu
MA=Michael Ausiello
AC=Angel Cohn
MMcD=Maitland McDonagh

Start 29.52

DM: Mike, what did you think of Gilmore Girls this week?
MA: It was fine, uhm.
AC: Oh, how much did you Sookie?
MA: I Sookied quite a bit.
DM: I—
AC: Because I was tempted.
DM: I pretty much Sookied almost all of it, I have to tell ya.
AC: It was, like, nothing happpened.
MA: I Sookied April and Lane scenes. I Sookied that; I Sookied uh—
AC: Sookie.
MA: --Sookie. Usually I like Sookie; but I liked the stuff with Lorelai and Christopher and Rory
AC: But it just, like, it just --
MA: It didn’t really -- nothing really happened.
AC: Nothing happened in the entire episode. I mean except for the fact that Christopher realized ‘oh, I’ve been a bad dad’. Shocking.
DM: And a listener named Lauren, speaking of Sookieing, says ‘Did you notice the scene where Michel basically Sookied Sookie? It was a scene where she was torn about the vegetables and wanted to whine about it, and he did what the alive version of Sookie heard, telling her he didn’t care and walking out.
AC: Yeah.
DM: Although I didn’t see that scene, because Michel and Sookie in the same scene is just … ultimate Sookie. That’s… I mean…
AC: I did see that scene, and he did kinda say, you know, ‘it’s not worth it, goodbye’.
MA: What about that piece in the New York Times?
DM: Yeah, and you know, that was an interesting piece that the NYT critic Virginia Hefferman wrote.
MA: Watch it.
DM: Oh for God´s sake. She’s a great writer, she made some interesting points. And I like the fact that a show like that is just getting the kind of space the NYT gave it, but she was pretty overall negative about the show, and negative on David Rosenthal and the writing of the show.
MA: Yeah, which I think was a little harsh. I have to say, if there was no publicity surrounding the behind the scene switch-over and everyone was still under the assumption that Amy Sherman-Palladino was still writing the show, none of these articles would be out here, no one would think it sounded any different, there might be bitching about the storylines.
AC: Yeah. It´s complaining about the storylines, not the dialogue.
MA: It´s not the dialogue.
DM: And the Gilmore story, that article, wasn’t entirely about, not the storyline, it was about you know, reaction shots. There was too many reaction shots, this season.
AC: Who notices that? That’s like the cinematography, who, besides Maitland and I, notice that?
MA: But, you know, Amy and Dan were no doubt reading that. Together, laughing.
[MA and DM talk at the same time]
DM: Are they bitter, you think?
MA: I don’t think they’re bitter, but it’s not nice to have, you know, to feel you’re missed.
MMcD: To know you’re indispensable.
MA: Yeah, right.

Gen, your avi...


It's so good to be able to see FF and not have to put a "2" in every address.


I like that it's finally brought up why Lorelai's not being in the town as much lately. But it still so bothers me... her relationships shouldn't cause her to avoid all her "old" friends... omg, "old" friends, she considers the townies "old friends"? geez... So, what would Chris be doing to end the festival. maybe he announces that they're married? Or, if MA was correct in saying that the LL scene was later this month, it would have to be in ep. 9, so maybe.

So, if Luke talks to the lawyer in 7.10, maybe Anna refuses to give him equal rights in ep 9. And moving April out of state... grr... Isn't anna just delightful?

And marty again?

Thanks for the episode description, Gen. I love your avi.

That description is interesting. I wonder what Christopher does to cause the town festival to end early. I think they are really trying to show how much Chris doesn't know how to fit into Rory and Lorelai's lives. He's just trying too hard.
Aw Luke with a baby! *sigh* Interesting that Anna is trying to move her and April to NM. I thought they might do that, but I'm glad that Luke is going to try to get his rights. Go Luke!

Katie the L&L moment is in ep 7.10 with the fight, MA was just mixed up with the dates.

I wonder if Luke is one of Lorelai's "old friends"

Thanks lorelaisgirl for the transcript, pitty they didn't say more, I'll listen later.

and thats gjoni for the FF info, maybe they will finally get it fixed!

Captain Hawkeye

So TV Guide is now mocking fangirl reviews from the NYT.


If you want to know when a reviewer is wrong (not just disagree with their opinion, but flat-out wrong):
Which is true. You can hate the s/l, but they've nailed ASP's style.

ETA: Thanks Lorelaisgirl

gjoni

Thanks for the podcast transcript, lorelaisgirl.

Thanks for the ep. description, Gen.

Luke will probably follow April to NM and won't get back to SH and Lorelai till 7.22.

Chris and the Knit a thon - I don't know what it entails exactly, but I'm guessing that if it's about raising money, then Chris donates the whole sum they were hoping to raise, plus an extra bonus, thus bringing the event to an early closing, and sucking all the fun out of it.

lancer1993

YAY Mr Moneybags saves the town!

I doubt Luke will leave, are they gonna pay SP not to work for the 2nd half of the season and still leave him 3rd on the credits?

IMO we'll get a cliff hanger hiatus "Will Luke leave SH"

iamsher

Funny that people are hoping that the marriage is illegal. Did you learn nothing from hoping that LC didn't "really" sleep with each other in Partings? Guess not.

They could always do the Logan thing and have him talk with Lane and Ceaser on the phone every episode.

Katiegg108

someone confirmed that? i've been out for the last few days and haven't caught up yet.

damselfly

I have to respectfully disagree with you. It gets a 'close but no cigar' from me. They've nailed the pace of the dialog, but not the smarts of it. ASP wrote clever dialog, but what DR is giving us isn't close to witty or clever -- it just runs on and on, until you (well, I) want to scream "Shut up!". ASP's pop culture references always jumped out, but now they just get lost in the rambling -- I honestly haven't picked up on one in first viewing.
