oops, i almost forgot….
4 WEEKS AND 5 DAYS UNTIL JANUARY 23!!!!!!!!!!!
yea Zuzzy. i love those great fight scenes between lorelai and emily. they really showed how strained their relationship is, which is part of the story. i miss those. i hope there will be another one of those in the future. maybe there will be one about how lorelai “ruined another chance with christopher”, something that the two have fought over a lot in the past. that would be good. but, who knows?
and i love lauren with her hair dark and short again. she has changed her hair a lot in the past 6 years, but i love it like this.
Go back and rewatch Lorelai’s Graduation Day if you get a chance- I watched it last night, and it’s amazing! Really really good scenes, esp between Lorelai and Emily. I miss the “good scene” days. I haven’t seen a brilliantly acted scene the entire season, aside from Luke’s speech to Anna.
Em, I agree, as I said before, that the next few episodes are make it or break it for DR. Keep your fingers crossed…
And Zuzzy, I wholeheartedly agree; I SO miss the tension/fights between Emily and Lorelai. I always rewind them and watch them over because they are SO powerful and beautifully acted. I truly believe they are two of the greatest actresses in television, and I wish they would get more credit than they do.
Thanks for the countdown Em! Wish it was sooner, but it definitely gives me something to look forward to!
While I’m not quote sure if this will actually happen, I kind of want some family drama between Emily and Lorelei again. As painful a moments as they are, some of my favorite moments of the entire series have been the major fights between either Emily and Lorelei or Richard and Lorelei. Despite the great conflict and drama being portrayed, it still really shows how much they love each other, it also allows for Lauren Graham and Kelly Bishop to really shine as actresses, Richard of course is always perfect at whatever role he must play (the actor’s name is slipping my mind at the moment).
But yeah,
whenever I think of that fight in season 1 when Rory comes home late from the Chilton dance or in Season 2 where Lorelei screams, “Why don’t you pretend that you care!”
I still get shivers recalling how awesome Lauren and Kelly were in those scenes.
Again I don’t know if this would actually happen because Lorelei has somewhat moved on from her grudgery of her teen years and Emily has definately softened over the years…but still, maybe I’m askin’ for drama for the sake of drama, but a heart string of fight like that would be a perfect way for Lorelei to reach her breaking point and turn to someone who is not Chris (hint luke* for comfort (after all, he will be off sulking and probably getting drunk in a bar because of a fight he had with Lorelei, most likely over the recommendation letter for Luke)
I could ramble for pages how potentially awesome these next few episodes could be for the season…. but you know, I value my sanity.
P.S. did I mention that Laurens hair looks fantastic short and dark and that I’m absolutely giddy for January!?
Zuzzy i definitely agree with you! i am also so giddy right now! in the letter lorelai’s feelings that she has kept inside her this whole time about luke will come out. and chirs will find it and see who lorelai truly loves.
i just realized that lorelai never really wollowed about luke. she encouraged rory to wollow after her break up with dean, and lorelai did not take her own advice! she probably kept all those feelings inside her and they will all come out in the letter! imagine if after lorelai writes the letter, she looks sad! and she just realizes how much she misses luke! oh i am getting so giddy!
one thing i want to see is how luke finds out about richard’s health crisis. does lorelai tell him? that would be something i would want to see. like lorelai is sad about her dad and luke comforts her like he did the when richard went to the hospital in “forgiveness and stuff” in season 1! really giddy here!
and i definitely think that the next few episodes, especially with lorelai’s epiphany and switch from chris to luke, is going to be the make it or break it for DR. he has to make it seem realistic, and like something lorelai would do. i REALLY hope he just doesnt make lorelai say “bye” to chris and then “hi” to luke. that wouldnt be fair to luke, lorelai, or chris. i dont want another repeat of last season, just luke and chris switching places. this has to be very well written, because this is going to be the turning point of the show’s storyline. if he doesnt do this right, then i dont know what i would do. i would be happy that, overall, luke and lorelai are back together, but i would also be unhappy with the execution of the switch. it has to be done right.
i am also glad , though, that lane is back in the picture. she hasnt had any scenes lately, and i want to see how her storyline plays out. i want to see how fat she got, how zach is dealling with the whole thing, and, of course, how they deal with ms. kim. i hope she is in a lot more scenes because i definitely think that the writers could do a lot with her story.
4 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS UNTIL JANUARY 23!!!!
Sorry, one more.
I forgot aboutt he Lane thing. I love her and I am glad she is back in the plot again. I cannot wait until she has her babies.
Sorry! I know I just commented, but i was looking at the pictures again and I noticed that Luke, Lorelai, Rory, and April were all standing together and I was thinking that that might be the people who will be in a future Christmas card picture.
Hey guys. Happy Holidays.
January 23 feels so far away.
I am also happy to see tha torelai’s hair is back to a good length and color. :)
It makes me mad that one episode Rory is mad at Logan and the next she is ditching her mom to spend the holidays with Logan. Hopefully we will get to see Logan try and rectify the situation.
I am hoping this Luke and April running into Rory and Lorelai in the mall isn’t too awkward. I think it would be if Rory opened Lorelai’s eyes to the mistake she has made by marrying Christopher and leaving Luke. i would like Rory to be the one to do that.
I hope we actually get to find out the contects of the letter. I am hoping this is a turning point in the Luke/Lorelai/Christopher love triangle.
I am hoping that Richard’s health crisis brings out a good ‘ole Emily and Lorelai fight. It says tha Luke nad Christopher are both dealing with the ehealth crisis in different ways, so that means at this point that they are both stil attached to Lorelai’s life.
i know it is far away, but this thing bout Rory liking her TA should be interesting. Could this cause a break up with Logan and Rory? I hope not, but I am betting it will at least result in some sort of fight.
peace out homies
~~RISS~~
OMG! WHY CANT IT BE JANUARY ALREADY!! I am so excited for the next episode! I think the letter will help them realize how much they love each other and how luke has learned his lesson. He was a little bit selfish when she gave him that ultimatum and he said no, i have to figure out April. But im gald he is making the most of it and trying to act like the good parent, unlike how Chris was to rory! I think Lorelai will see that when she sees him with April and fall in love al over again!
Happy Hoildays everyone! I am so excited im out for Winter break! I cant wait for Christmas! I get to go to Disneyland for X-mas and New years! I love Disneyland!
~Amiee~
hey everybody!
it’s so good to know something about this episode!!
well, let me start:
About Rory spending christmas with Logan in London,she was mad at him last episode, but probably we’re going to see them make up in the beginning of this episode…sad! Rory is so vulnerable now, she gets mad at him, and he’s always “aw ok, let’s travell” “aw, it’s not true!” “aw, i love you!”, oh, shut up Logan!!…Rory always believe him, trust him, and he’s always a jerk to her! He cheated on her with the bridesmaids last season, so she got out of his place, and then he showed up and said: “Rory, i love you”, and everything was ok again, like if nothing had happened! Come on!!…it’s always the same thing, Rory gets mad at him and then he shows up, says some bullsheet to her, and she forgives him, and everything is ok again!
..sorry guys…this makes me crazy!
…and about the letter…Oh, i can’t wait to see it!!
I just hope that scene be a long and sweet one, not just another short one, like DR always do! In important moments, that the scene should be very intense, kind of long, sweet, DR always “runs” to other scene!!
…I believe Lore will figure out how much she still loves Luke writting this letter, and with the conversation with Rory, about everything that Luke has been doing to them all these years.I’m sure she will figure this out writting this letter!!…And Christopher…you can start packing your bags! Because Lore, soon or later, will come back to Luke’s arms!!
…The point is what is going to happen in the next episodes, after the letter, after all this!
Remember what i said one day people?…”Lore and Luke just need some time to figure all this out!”
Time people, TIME is the key word!
…i can’t wait to see Lore and Luke back together again!They belong to each other!…and they finally will figure this out!! This episode is going to be great, i hope Lore and Luke share a very sweet moment, a LONG sweet moment, not a short one!
…it’s all about time people…TIME!!
PS:I agree with you Zuzzy…Lauren is fabulous, and i prefer her with the short dark hair too, not the long and light one!…Totally agree!
i love these pics. they seem so normal, and they look happy.you can still see some tension/awkwardness between them, but i think the character reference thing is gonna be a good thing for lorelai. it will help her realize that she still loves him very much, and maybe. hopefully. she will admit it FINALLY!
i hope so anyway.
i think that quote em posted is very good. amy is totally right. if rosenthal is going to do i good job, then he is. if hes gonna screw this up, then thats whats going to happen. all of our complaining and comments about him arent going to do any good. that doesnt mean anyone is going to stop though, so whatever.
Lauren Graham is looking fabulous! I’m glad she cut her hair, it makes her look younger. No offense to Lauren but I always get bummed when it grows out some and dyes it a light brown, she did it in season 4 and she did it season 6 into 7. I love it when it’s short and dyed a dark brown/almost black, like she had it in season 5, it makes her eyes seem especially blue.
Anyways, onto the episode. I agree with Tara Ashley that these next three episodes will either make or break season 7 for David Rosenthal. Richard’s health crisis has the potential to stir up some major drama in the Chris/Lorelei/Luke triangle as well as stir up some moments of touching interactions between Lorelei and Emily as well as Lorelei and Rory. There’s so much potential on these episodes shoulders…they have to be executed perfectly or else I might cry. Well I mean the episodes should make me cry with heartbreak because of the touching and emotional scenes that should be playing out, not cry with being let down by the episode. Either way I’ll cry…I just hope it’s the right kind.
Onto Luke and his letter… in this sense I totally agree with DA. I really think it should start with Rory recalling everything that Luke has done for her over the years. Starting with that coffee cake he made for her when she turned 16. Anyways, as Rory’s running through the list it’ll make Lorelei realize how much Luke has done for Rory AND for her, and that will lead to her realizing that it was stuff that CHRIS should have done for Rory and her, but didn’t…
as to the letter, I think Lorelei will, unintentionally, write everything that she saw in Luke as a man. It’ll basically be all the character traits that made her fall in love with him in the first place and made her propose to him.
OMG! Wouldn’t it be awesome if she used his interactions with her own daughter as a frame of reference for why he’ll make a great father to April!!!? And then, of course, Chris finds it, it’s basically reopen his utterly annoying insecurities about how he was a crappy father who constantly let Rory down her ENTIRE life!!
You have no idea how giddy I’m making myself right now! WHY ISN’T JANUARY HERE!!!
I think that the letter will say something like about him being more dedicated to his daughter than his fiance or something
Wow! Lorelai looks beautiful!
I wonder what happens when Rory and Lorelai run into Luke and April!!!
:) I love when I come across little things like that. They make me smile.
Ahh Em, you scared me… I missed the part “around the time of the second season” and thought it was recent and he was saying it’s never going to happen!! haha silly me… :)
Speaking of which, just watched “Dead Uncles and Vegetables” and I wish I could count how many “Luke and Lorelai belong together” anvils there were… ahhh I was so giddy!! I was reading on another forum that “anvils” (foreshadows) are supposed to be followed up on sooner or later (at least, Amy planned it that way…) so check this convo out:
LORELAI: You weren’t planning Sookie’s wedding.
EMILY: Well, then, whose wedding was I planning?
LORELAI: Mine.
EMILY: Don’t be ridiculous.
LORELAI: Mom, your vision for this wedding and all the over the top stuff and the gazillion dollar flowers and bunting and champagne fountain and the Haute Couture dress – who’s wearing that wedding dress in your mind’s eye, Mom? Is it Sookie or is it me?
EMILY: I wasn’t planning your wedding, Lorelai.
LORELAI: Right.
EMILY: The wedding I was planning was for Sookie. The mushrooms and colors, they all seemed like fun. A little crazy, just like she is. It definitely was not for you.
LORELAI: Okay Mom.
EMILY: I know that in a million years, you would never let me plan your wedding. I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Yours was going to be a Russian winter theme – the Romanovs.
LORELAI: Before the firing squad, I assume?
EMILY: Snow white roses, trees with white lights and candles, snow everywhere, you arriving in a silver sleigh with white horses.
LORELAI: Wow.
EMILY: You hate the idea.
LORELAI: No, no, I just – .
EMILY: You just hate it.
LORELAI: No, it just doesn’t seem like me.
EMILY: Yes, well, it would’ve been beautiful.
LORELAI: I’m sure it would’ve been.
EMILY: Anyhow, it’s obvious that wouldn’t even be appropriate anymore being as I’m probably standing in your reception hall.
LORELAI: Excuse me?
EMILY: Burgers and fries for the dinner? The bride walks down the aisle with a ketchup dispenser in her hand.
LORELAI: Please tell me what you’re talking about.
EMILY: I’m talking about Luke.
LORELAI: Luke? Mom!
EMILY: Well, it’s obvious, Lorelai.
LORELAI: No, it’s not, Mom.
EMILY: You’re with him constantly.
LORELAI: He feeds me.
EMILY: You bring up his name constantly.
LORELAI: Once again, he feeds me.
EMILY: The moment he calls, you run to his side.
LORELAI: He’s my friend, he needed me, I had to be there.
EMILY: Yes, I know you did.
[Luke comes down the stairs and walks over to them]
LUKE: Hi.
EMILY: Hello. I have to go. I’ll see you for dinner tonight, Lorelai. And Luke, I’m sure I’ll see you again soon. What do you think of the Romanovs?
LUKE: They probably had it coming.
EMILY: A match made in heaven.
:SIGH: I think this is one of my most favorite episodes of the whole show…
I don’t know- I agree that it’s super exciting to have those “looks” back, but I worry that the scene will be too short or substance-lacking. I REALLLLLLY want it to be deep, and I really want the encounter to strike a chord with Lorelai.
I, too, want to know what’s in the letter. I so feel it’s going to be a make it or break it moment for DR- it’s SUCH a brilliant ploy, and yet so much is riding on it. I mean, this letter essentially sums up Lorelai’s feelings for Luke as a person and as an ex-fiance. It has to be executed perfectly. Yikes!
The real question is how good episode 13 will be…sooo nervous.
Maybe, just maybe, they’ll explain in the episode how Rory and Logan resolved their fight and went to London together. And yeah, they already had this trip planned out ever since ‘The Long Morrow’ so they went..
Either way, that must mean they’re not fighting anymore. YAY.
Finally something about Lane… I’m mad that she hasn’t been around much this season.
