So I'm on the miniscule island of people who loved the revival in general
Then consider us neighbors!
My biggest fear for the revival was that the episodes would be all over the damn place, with no coherent storyline, crappy acting and a bunch cameos making it even bigger of a damn mess.
Instead, we got complete arcs for the three Gilmore girls -- with Rory's actually mainly focused on her career and her personal growth, for once!--, Lorelai AND Rory being flawed and interesting, the atmosphere of the old show instantly back, emotional moments that hit the right notes, SO MANY CALLBACKS to the original series and the cameos actually completely working for me. Gone is the bad taste the last couple of seasons left where the characters and the acting was one-note.
It wasn't perfect by any means. There were things I would definitely change -- the damn musical and the lack of Jess was CRIMINAL. But hey, nothing is perfect. I'm all in all very impressed with what ASP put together and I haven't liked the girls this much since the Chilton years. All the cries of what a shitty writer ASP is, and how mean/horrible Lorelai and Rory are (but not Emily, God forbid, who's an angel!) and whyyyyyy hasn't Rory become a librarian/assistant bewilder the hell out of me and make me LOL because that's so not my show and this is probably my goodbye to these boards.
GG was a HUGE part of my formative years. I loved it then, I love it now and always.

Sookie was a disappointment to me. The personality just wasn't the same. Kelly Bishop slipped back into her role with the least awkwardness, in my opinion. She rocked it the entire time. Even Lauren Graham seemed to try too hard at times.
True! But I feel LG was better in the Revival than in the later seasons of of GG, especially S7 where she had this constant droopy face with wet eyes. I loved her energy here. There were MANY moments I felt like I was watching early seasons' Lorelai.
2 hours ago, kieyra said:If I had one nitpick, it's that I've lost the threads of why Lorelai is so hostile towards Emily, and I think the show failed to remind me. I know Emily could be incredibly controlling, manipulative and intrusive, but we didn't see as much of that in the revival, so Lorelai occasionally came off as vicious for no reason.
Ha! I find that hilarious because "especially vicious" is how I found myself describing Emily a lot during the revival. She was on top form! From her funeral rant where she accused a clearly tipsy, exhausted Lorelai of "dishonoring" her father on porpose, to crapping all over the L/L relationship numerous times, going on an immediate attack mode at Lorelai inquiring about her "friend" and so forth. It seemed like in a every one of the episodes (save the last) she had a cutting word to throw at Lorelai.
Lorelai, on the other hand, seemed a lot softer on Emily than we've ever seen before.

I also want to say that I'm kind of enjoying and excited about the Rory storyline. Although I'm her age, I was always a bit more invested in Lorelai, because while I loved Rory, Lorelai was just always the soul and sparkle of the show for me. I think though, that this is totally in line with her character development. I actually feel that because of the revival, Rory's sort of clicking into place as a consistent character for me. I don't mean that in a "she was always a spoiled, entitled brat" way, either. It's more that I always felt as Rory evolved through the seasons, though she did retain certain core personality traits, she sometimes swung from one direction to the other, to the point where she could feel like a very different girl from season to season. I could say a lot more about this, but in short, I can look at Rory in any season and picture her growing up into the woman we see in the revival, and that's really working for me. I know others don't agree, but I just think this is such a realistic portrayal of who someone with Rory's experiences would become.
YES!!! Someone who feels like me!!
I'm under the opinion ASP lost "Rory" somewhere in S5 and the character just continued to drift farther and farther into some generic, bland barbie. I see next to nothing of S1-S3 Rory in S6-S7 Rory. In the revival, on the other hand, I finally feel like I'm seeing her as a fleshed out character. She seems to much more tangible and present and stronger.
When I see her travelling to London, NY, etc. and gushing about being rootless I think back to the girl whose childhood bedroom to this days is full of travel posters and who told Richard she wanted to go to Fez, see something, do something!
SpoilerWe also see her falling in the pattern of taking what doesn't belong to her (*cough*), when she feels unsteady and because the boy was HERS first! Her cockiness which led her to not do her homework and ruin her chances with Sandradee mirrors her turning down a great job opportunity in S7 because it wasn't her dream job. And of course, Rory rising to save the Stars Hollow Gazette from death without any hope of personal gain is quintessential Rory, the "town princess". I could go on and on and on.
I think ASP was VERY smart in how she wrote Rory as a 32 year old. Her former brand of generic perfection was NEVER gonna fly with today's audience. Flawed, interesting, sometimes unlikable women are what people want to see. Just check "Unreal". I don't think I've ever liked Rory more.

I actually agree that Rory looked happier during their partying than at any point in the series, and that actually makes me a little sad. THIS is what makes Rory happy now, where she feels in her element? Partying with complete jerks who she's not even genuinely close with? I don't know, I'm not explaining it well, but this used to be a girl who for years was so genuinely content with a very different kind of 'fun', and now she's just like the other girls the Life and Death Brigade used to hang out with.
Rory wasn't just looking to have fun. A little earlier in the episode she mentioned that she needed to be "twenty again". That's what I saw the LDB doing for her -- fullfilling a craving. She looked happy because she was allowed to step out of her reality as an failed adult into a dream. A good book wasn't gonna be enough to pull her out of misery.

Yes, those guys were roughly 35, running through the streets in costumes. It was pathetic. They were trying to make Rory and Logan look sweet and whimsical, holding hands, twirling around together. What the hell?? He's about to be married to someone else. It's not cute. Not even close.
Exactly! I wanted to love that stuff because it hit a lot of right notes for me, aesthetically. But it was with the wrong people. It felt so wrong!

That was the lucky outfit?
Yeah....but also, we've see that dress before right?
QuoteI don't get what Rory found so irritating about the GQ lines premise. That sounded interesting, and her various interview subjects were all pleasant and actually fairly articulate on the subject (I couldn't believe when she started to fall asleep while listening to that first guy). Not to mention, the moment where they found a bunch of people queuing up mistakenly behind some people just eating lunch is a made-to-order anecdote with which to begin an article.
We are talking about the girl who made magic out of a parking lot article once upon a time. The GQ article pratically wrote itself after what we saw of those characters in line. Rory's heart wasn't in it anymore.
-
I'm surprised to say this, but all the cameos actually worked for me? Why NOT use familiar faces for minor characters? I loved it.
The life and death brigade thing. Wow. I mean. Wow. I think I would have appreciated it more as someone who never watched the show before. The aesthetic was amazing. Same for the Tango club. Knowing what we know, it just looks incredibly douchey for 30 year olds to be acting like that.
I'll miss Finn most of all too!
Man, Logan got a character assassination if I ever saw one. As good as the actor is, the sleeze was dripping off the writing.
Lorelai's phonecall to Emily! OMG! Was there anyone who didn't tear up?
GOOD LORD DOES CHRISTOPHER LOOK INCREDIBLE! Mother of christ! That man is a vampire. Rory asking him about Lorelai raising her on her own? Damn, that was amazing. His answer was lame but there could never a answer that could justify him bowing out from being Rory's father. The truth probably is that Lorelai played super-woman a little too well, and Christopher was immature enough to convince himself Rory wouldn't need a Dad and took the way out. And he doesn't regret it. How do you say that to your daughter?
So Dean got a more romantic scene with Rory than Jess did. Wow. I suppose I had to hate something.NEVER MIND! Jess looking at Rory through the window!! That gave me feels.Well, "Mom, I'm pregnant" was as predictable as you can get. Now, is it Logan's? Is it Wookie's? Is it Paul's? I really hope ASP doesn't spoil it.
And, it's done. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Overall I'm very impressed. The overall quality of the writing was milles better than I expected. We had proper character arcs and everything! Rory ending up alone was probably for the best. ASP focused on her career, for once, and I LOVED it. I did feel Rory choosing to write about her and Lorelai was a bit of a cop out but heh.
I'm definitely mad we had so little Jess and him looking at Rory through the window felt like... a promise. To be continued. UHG, whatever. I'm not gonna spend the next ten years expecting Literati to finally be together. It's done.

Zach looks like someone's grandfather next Lane. Good God, who thought it was a good idea for him to have a beard?
APRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY! And yes 100% reason for that excitement is thanks to the actress' role in Switched at birth. I became a fan for life.
"Do you smoke pot?". "Nah." LOL!
"April's mine. I got it!" WOW. S6 flashbacks. You know, it's so hypocrite that Luke can call Rory a little bit his and Lorelai doesn't get to have that with April. Fuck you, Luke. I was actually liking you in this revival.
Rory and Logan's phone conversation felt like a more complicated version of Dean and Rory in S4. Only, I can actually see the appeal of Logan but somehow it's twice as gross! Man, Rory needs to get some therapy to deal with her getting involved with men already commited to other women. This is a very worrying pattern. I hope the arrival adresses this.
I thought Jess would be a lot more in this revival considering the trailers. There's TONS of Logan, good God why. I guess we're really supposed to be caring more about Rory's career (yes I'm writing as I watch the episode). Which, cool! There's a first time for everything and what we've got so far I'm really digging.
If Rory has a Journalism degree on Yale university does it mean she went to Journalism school there?
Oh man, I really felt for Lorelai during the secret bar scene. But I get Michel completely. It was almost too real for Gilmore Girls. Thank God they did the hiding bit from taylor to balance it out. That was fantatic!
(I'm kinda low key hating Sookie for abandoning Lorelai like this)
As cute and natural it is for Rory to spend some time on Stars Hollow Gazette I can't help but but be bothered by her not making any money at all. Is being a journalist really that brutal?
Milo said he would be in like 2 and a half episodes, what happened????
I'm sorry I coudn't sit through the musical. One day I'll watch it properly.
"Our lives were set up by you, I just went along with it (...) Ask your therapist!" FUCK YOU LUKE!!!! FUCK YOOOOOOOOOU!! OMG! You hateful, weakling, miserable man. FUCK. YOU.
"I'm protecting your for some reason." Lane has damn fine instincts. Man, I hate that they made Rory actually emotionally dependent on frigging Logan. What a mess.

I assumed that the travel expenses Rory was racking up were covered by the agreement as she worked on the book, for those face to face meetings. It'd answer the questions about where Rory's getting the money for all the London travel at any rate. But then to state to the lawyer that they didn't have a contract, just a verbal agreement!? WTH???
Rory actually said their arrangement was "on spec" which I only have the faintest idea of what it means. I don't even know how can that be possible when it comes to writing a book. It sounds even worst than a verbal agreement.
The more I think about it the more insane the whole thing with Naomi was. How is it possible Rory didn't work out an hourly rate or any sort of payment schedule that included any all time spent on the travelling and business lunches + expenses (the later being the very least Naomi probably paid)? That was A LOT of valuable time Naomi wasted. And what about the expectations Naomi created? What about possible job offers Rory had to pass up because she had this long term agreement to honor? I don't know how it works in the UK or the US, but in my mess of a country Rory could have sued Naomi's ass and got her time's worth. Considering Naomi had a lawyer call Rory, I imagine she knew it too. I can't believe how naive Rory was.
-
"We're outside, we can only go inside." Can't argue with that logic.
THE SECRET BAR! (by far the best part of that neverending town meeting)
Mitchum coming out of nowhere with a chair made my life! "He thinks we're friends." No one thinks that, Logan.
The comparison between Paris and Michel kinda worked!
I have my own issues with Alex Kingston (Doctor Who related), but I think the character really works. She's like an extreme version of Lorelai and boy does Rory has experience with dealing with crazy. And it shows.
TOO MUCH LOGAN!! And the Odette thing... my oh my, Rory where have you got yourself into? You're moving too fast to see yourself clearly and it will come back to bite you in the ass. Hard.
Lulu looks younger than Rory.
Luke: "I'm not gonna make it."
I'm amazed at how much better Rory and Paris's friendship is being depicted than during the Yale years. Rory actually seems to like her now. I loved everything about going back to Chilton. I want more! Kinda wish they had gotten CMM so we could have one last scene with Rory, Paris and Tristin together.
Emily was at her worst in this episode, IMHO. pushing Richard's wishes on Luke, walking out on therapy like that. I'm not a L/L shipper by any means but her rant on them being "roomantes" was odious. Almost as odious as her vicious rant at the funeral. Kinda made me wish Luke and Lorelai wouldn't get marry at all. Don't let her get in your head Lorelai!!
(I'm forever amazed some people don't see why Lorelai left at 17)
Logan and Rory's interactions still don't make sense if you take S7 in account... Awesome!
Man, Rory's profession seems brutal. What the hell is "on spec"? Are you telling me she went through all that with Alex Kingston and will get no money whatsoever? And that she'll do that piece on NY lines for GQ with no garantee of money as well? Although the later is a little more understandable, being a HUGE opportunity and all, seems more like a trial piece than anything, but the thing with Naomi? Rory put a lot of time on her. Kinda makes me think she's not being very smart here.The lawyer obviously was expecting more of a fight. How the hell does Rory eat?
The whole thing with Sandradee (sp?) was the more real thing this show has ever done with Rory's career I swear! Frankly, I'm loving Hot!Mess Rory! Forget about Logan, I think she's paying for having a college life way more fabulous than anyone should have had. I love the realness. Finally!

Favorite reference: "He's a superhero, but his power is no matter how much time you spend with him, you can't remember him. Kinda like every Marvel movie ever!"
Lorelai spoke to my soul with that one.

I also didn't get a lot of the pop culture references although I knew they were there. Am I that old?
I also didn't, be it because they were said it too fast or because I simply didn't get it. But that's hardly unusual as far Gilmore Girls goes for me. I rarely understood them in the original run.
There was ONE really good that Lorelai made and it stood out to me. Towards the second half of the episode. It'll come to me.
All my love for Paris mentioning "Gone Girl", tho.

By Rory's own admission, they've been together for two years. If he's delusional or making the relationship more than it is, then she needs to set him straight. She clearly hasn't. I have gone out with people who thought we were way more serious than I did and I quickly shut them down when I realized we were on different pages. She knows they're on different pages and she can't be bothered to tell him so and cut ties with him completely. The blame is on her as far as I'm concerned.
It's your prerrogative to think so, but nothing of what we've seen makes me thing it's that big of a deal that would warrant talk of "blame". Maybe we'll be getting more of Paul in the next episodes, maybe not, but from "Winter" alone I'm willing to give Rory the benefit of the doubt that she has made it clear they aren't exclusive. Nothing about the scene between Logan and Rory made me think we were seeing anything antoward. YMMV.
QuoteLike, "look at wonderful Rory. So kind and thoughtful she doesn't want to hurt Paul's feelings and break up with him"??? I don't see it that way, but trying to figure out what ASP was going for
IMHO, ASP was trying to show Rory who used to be a steady boyfriend, serial monogamist kind of gal is no more. She's not attached at all to the guy she's been dating and is cool with casual hook ups now.

Not by name, but Logan does say he isn't trying to hide things from her when she asks to look in the closet. He says he doesn't move things around when she stops by to visit and she is clearly expecting to find some other girl's things in the apartment.
Sorry, that doesn't make any sense. Rory was wary of finding "other girls things" (that's how she puts it, pretty general and not to a especific girl) in Logan's apartment because it's Logan we're talking about and he likes to sleep around. It shows they're not-exclusive.

Actually, it reminded me of Lorelai and Christopher's relationship, only this time with less baggage. Like, "Hey, we enjoy each other, we're not in the same place in our lives, but we're in geographic proximity to each other periodically, so let's enjoy that time together and what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." That kind of relationship doesn't bother me at all, so long as everyone is on board with it.
I think you're onto something there.
28 minutes ago, Eeksquire said:As for Paul, if Rory really cannot remember him without iPhone reminders, then I don't know how seriously anyone is meant to take the relationship. It could very well be me projecting personal experience onto television*, but I don't think it's crazy to believe that a lot of the seriousness of that relationship is in Paul's mind and really has nothing to do with how Rory feels or how they actually function when they're together. I cannot be the only person that dated someone that was WAY MORE INVESTED in trying to have a relationship with me than I was with them - I'm willing to grant that an observer that only saw their side of things would think I was a garbage human being for not treating them more considerately when on my side of the fence, I thought we were only casually seeing each other, not getting married.
Thank you and goodnight! If I were to put any thought into Paul, I'd say he's a least a sadly self-deluled individual... and we've all met one of those, haven't we? People who seem to rather live in their own made-up reality of the relationship than the actual relationship.
I'm very surprised some people see Rory with Logan and her cheating on Paul. From what we've seen, I'd be dowright shocked if she was in a exclusive relationship given her lifestyle and her interactions with Paul.

I was sheltered, too. I still am, in ways. Some of the remarks in this thread had me cringing, because there were ways in which I felt like I was just getting started, in my late twenties/early thirties, and I didn't even have a career.
I've just realized that I did the, "That isn't Rory" thing that bugged me so much on re-watch. She just seemed like she needed some stability. I couldn't picture her in a war zone. Maybe I'm projecting, because I love to travel, to a point, but living out of a suitcase is not my thing, and I most related to bookish, stable Rory. :) Although I dropped out of high school, like Lorelai.
Living out of a suitcase seems pretty hardcore for me, as well, but once upon a time travelling all by myself to a foreign country seemed hardcore as well. By that I mean, I can see Rory living out of suitcase as a natural projection to some places life as journalist took her during the hiatus. She's 32. She didn't stretch her wings overnight. She's grown used to being rootless (to a point at least) and gets a rush from it.
To be honest, Rory was never my favorite character by any means, but sometimes I feel I have a fundamental different view of her character than other fans. To me, she's a sheltered girl who's lived on the shadow of her brilliant, gorgeous best friend/mother and deeply craves going out there and proving herself to be a lot more than that. To me, she always wanted to live a life worth reading about.
People always talk she needs stability but I've always seen was the show pushing her out of comfort zone.
Some of the comments around this parts do me make me cringe as well, because it seems a lot people think that in order for someone to achieve those kinds of dreams -- in order to be daring, adventurous and leave a mark on the world-- doing those things must come easy for you. You must have a designed type of temper or personality in order to be happy doing that. And the thing is: for a lot of us, who've gone out there and dared to fullfill some of our crazy dreams, 90% of the time what you feel is fear and anxiety and self-doubt. The other 10%, those moments you realize you're living the life you wanna live that makes it all worth it and some.
Basically, the only thing you need in order to do what Rory is doing is the will for it.
Sorry, rant over.
And yes, I'm also projecting all over the place. But I'm damn proud of her.
QuoteHa, going by the actors it's actually (slightly) the other way: the actor playing her husband is four years younger than Keiko.
I played this game too. I thought Luke really aged, while Lorelei actually somehow looked slightly younger than her Parenthood character. And Michel was incredibly well preserved. The bandmate who is a former hair metal guy in real life, that they almost refused to let in the band because he was so old, also still looks about the same a decade later.
Completely agree LG looks younger now than during Parenthood. I... don't wanna know how (I know how).
Michel looks exactly the same. Maybe better. It's scary. Same for Lane and the hairy dude (Gil?) who looks amazing.
I'm a fan of Cary Agos so I knew Logan would look hot.

I also know that she wanted to see the world, to see *something*, but this groundless lifestyle seems totally opposite to Rory in the first series. At least, to me it does.
I get that opinion, I really do. But if I could offer a different perspective from someone who could be discribed as sheltered as well, I can see myself in Rory in the sense that it doesn't come easy for her to be daring and be in a unstable enviroment, which is why it takes A LOT of guts to not stay in the comfort zone that leaves you unfullfilled, but be daring and go out there and have the life of adventure you wanna have.
IMHO, revival!Rory(episode 1 at least) would make S1!Rory who dreamed of going to Fez and seeing and doing things proud as hell.
-
I don't wanna jixn the next three episodes, but that was SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! I'm so relieved!
I gotta give it to ASP: the way she instantly made the revival feel like the old show really impressed me. It was like no time had passed at all. I was also very impressed with how she managed to touch-base with so many secondary characters and it didn't feel clunky at all.
Jason! Sweet Jason! I loved his little scene with Lorelai.
Michel finally came out. Thank frigging God.
THE GIRLS!! OMG!! EXCUSE ME WHILE I GUSH BUT LORELAI AND RORY LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL! It's insane! I've been very vocal about this, but in the trailers and the promotional stills they looked so odd to me and I was dreading getting used to it, but in the actual revival they both look INCREDIBLE.
That Rory Gilmore sure grew up cool didn't she? I love her life! How she seems to thrive in being all over the place, living from couch to couch. There are hints it can be pretty stressfull like the tap dancing scene seems to imply but hey! Everything has its down sides. I also love the new pitch to Alexis Bledel's voice. It isn't as deep as S1 but it isn't the terrible baby voice from the later seasons either. It's like low and soft. Very nice.
I was never Paris' biggest fan but she was a scene stealer here! I loved every scene she was in and I especially loved that Rory and her remained such good friends. They finally actually felt like real friends to me.
Now let's get to a more delicate territory:
- Logan. I'll confess my initial reaction at seeing him and Rory together was something close to panic. I never hated him so I can only imagine how the people who did felt.
I wanna enjoy the story as a whole and if I forget my own shipper bias for a moment I can see that it makes sense. Rory is in London A LOT and it's natural Logan and her would have reconnected. The thing I find intriguing is that they seem to have regressed to the early days of their interactions, doing stringless hook-ups! The difference is that now Rory actually seems to be able to handle that kind of "relationship". I'm not gonna lie: I like it a lot more than I don't. They were at their most watchable at their early days, IMO. At their most beliavable too!
It does seem a little bit...strange that two people who were in a commited relationship and almost got married to each other could pull off something like that. But hey! If ASP wants me to pretend S7 never happened, count me in!
- The Lorelai/Emily fight was VICIOUS and the things Emily said to Lorelai sounds exactly like the criticism of her I've read on his boards for the last few months so I hope it was cathartic for some of y'all.
-I didn't get Lorelai saying Luke never having got to see his child graduate and him replying he got to go to Rory's. Hum. What about April's graduation (s)?
- ETA: I'm in the minority that I loved the Paul gag!

In general, when I binge a good show, I am so immersed I love it, whether it's the first time I've seen it, or a repeat viewing - for all the reasons so many people like binge watching. But GG actually seems to suffer from the process. The flaws are more noticeable, the characters less likable, the town less charming. I guess it's analogous to the case of too much candy at Halloween?
Ah, man, what a bummer!

This is partly why I think Rory regressed after season three. This is the girl who managed to write a brilliant article when Paris gave her the parking lot paving as a topic but she can't handle Mitchum's critique? Just a lazy way to start a feud between Rory and Lorelai.
In many ways, Chilton brought out that best out of Rory. It was a structured, highly competetive enviroment where she was kept on her toes constantly and had to have more than a little backbone. Not having any real friends there and being constantly hounded by the likes of Tristan and Paris. It was a much needed balance to her fairytale homelife where she was the "greatest kind in the whole world".
Without being able to turn to her support sytem in Stars Hollow (Lorelai + Lane + boyfriend) like in the Chilton days, Logan became her security net in Yale and Rory grew too relaxed to the point of cockiness. She got to do all the fun parts of being a legal adult: partying, drinking, sex. But one criticism, and she fell apart like a house of cards.
Now, my unpopular opinion is I think Rory would have been suited better to a Law related field. It would have the structure she obviously craves while she would be taken out of her comfort zone daily by the intelectual challenges and inherently competitiveness of the field. She would have been an amazing clerk for a Judge for one. She's organized, enjoys doing research and there's some writing too.
Or maybe I'm just projecting!

Ooh, I like the question he raises. Is Reboot!Rory the Rory we could expect after ten years, or is she S7!Rory, this time ASP's version?
That will be a fun discussion topic after we've seen the series.
Fun indeed! I saw the same thing mentioned in another review (same review?) and I've been intrigued ever since. To be quite honest with y'all, the concept sounds very exciting. For one thing, Rory became insufferable post-S5. After her fight with Lorelai was over, it seemed any development she could have had came to a gridding halt. I'll spare any comment towards S7!Rory and her harlequin romance novel face.
So, by all means, bring it on the would-have-been S7!Rory.

Gilmore Girls: Another Year in the Life Season 2 Speculation
in Gilmore Girls
· Edited by cuddlingcrowley
Oooh! I love this thread!
That's almost how I feel. I'm not interested in watching the show without a garantee the Rory/Jess romance will be explored. If we can't get that, I'd rather Jess wasn't in the show at all. I can't bear to watch ANOTHER show where Rory seems to appreciate even frigging Dean over Jess.
About the pregnancy, here's the deal: I have no doubt ASP's plan A is for Logan to be Rory's baby Daddy BUT I also have every doubt in the world Matt Czuchry would be up for returning. We already know he had creative differences with ASP as far as who Logan is and what his relationship with Rory entails and hasn't seemed that excited about the revival. Extremelly professional but not genuinely excited.
Last week, I watched an interview on E! where it seemed he almost pulled a muscle in trying to remain blank faced when asked if he would be up to a season 2. He was very diplomatic in his answer, but it was very obvious he was caught off guard and was trying his best not to jump the gun with an answer one way or another. IMHO, he can (easily) do better.
So I believe there's every possibility Rory's baby might be he result of her one night stand with Wookie. Actually, that kind of would fit Gilmore Girl's better than the whole drama of Rory having this connection with a married guy forever. Fathers were always less important in the GG world.
