One of the best episodes of the season and speaking of “everyone wants time with Rory”, I noticed that the cable channel called SOAP is running AB’s earliest movie “Tuck Everlasting” Sunday evening after a prior doubleheader of Gilmore Girls. A highly underappreciated effort that a lot of fans never had a chance to see.

Ryan, I have no idea why they recast the part of Mia – perhaps they could not get the original actress, or maybe they wanted to use someone many U.S. viewers would remember from a great TV show of the mid-1990s, “Picket Fences.” Kathy Baker (who played the second Mia) co-starred with Tom Skerritt in Picket Fences – and Adam Wylie, who played their youngest son, grew up to be Rory Gilmore’s classmate Brad Langford, who sang “Cherish” during his speech at the Chilton graduation. My guess is that there were “Picket Fences” fans on the casting team for Gilmore Girls…and I loved Picket Fences too, just thought they should have used the original Mia and found a different role for Kathy Baker on Gilmore Girls. (She could have been one of Taylor’s annoying relatives, or Kirk’s mother, or some interesting person staying at the Dragonfly that drove Michel nuts. There were SO many possibilities.) But what’s done is done. The seventh season had a lot of disappointments, and this was another one.

Yes I guess, I would like too, even if it already happens in my imagination.
Once I read a comment implying that her playing was limited…
That’s absolutely wrong. I started to look more closely to the way she plays, and did the same thing with some other actresses. Then it occurred to me that she’s so sensible and sensitive. All her face is moving, her body moves like a reed moved by a light breeze. She has so much to give us!
Yes, I may be off the subject once again, but, yes that’s a dream to meet the character, as well as the original…

Was it really necessary to recast Mia with a younger actress?

I can see all the comments from the blog admin interface, but there are definitely some persistent issues here. Hopefully they’re resolved quickly!

of course due to the bug, can you even see my response?
I feel for you…I’m also doing bug-stomping.

@Arieanna
as of right now, the answer to your question is no. For example, http://www.gilmoregirlsnews.com/2009/06/24/who-you-wished-were-real-jess-dean-or-logan
reports 4 comments, but I can only see one.

The bug on that should have been fixed – is it still not working?

I love the dress that Lorelai wears to the wedding!

I love the scene when Lorelai, after all these years, finally admits to Emily that it must have been hard for her when she left.

Lorelai has probably never pictured her life without Rory since they were always so close. Now, she comes to realise that’s coming soon and that she’ll be all alone. It probably hit her with Rory going to interviews and everything.
It was good that she finally acknowledges that Emily, even though she’s Emily, went through the same thing.
