I shall host, and as such, I invite any lurkers out there to take the plunge and join in! The game is fun, and we'll be nice and welcoming, won't we Taryn? :-) I'm thinking of a character....

Hee. Had to look up in which episode they finally talk about it openly--Family Matters. And just for fun, the dialogue: Great theme, by the way. Here's my first pick:

Paging ASF, If you're around, and remember which scene you were thinking of! :-) (waving hello to all, having myself just gotten back from a week at the beach...)

Trying to narrow it down, may need a hint... looks like Season 4 hair, I'm guessing maybe horror at something Paris said about shagging Professor Fleming?

Has Rory driven Paris crazy yet by withholding her PSAT scores? Night? Luke?

Forgiveness and Stuff.

Friday night dinner? Have Lorelai and Digger gone out for dinner with Ted Koppel yet?

So much love for your whole post, Junie!

She's assessing the "come and get it-ness" of her dress, in Pulp Friction?

Yale? TL: Has the Dragonfly been christened by Kirk's naked dash yet?

Hee, yes. I realized that a ways in, after so confidently declaring it NOT to be in the Hollow. In Amy's mind maybe it could be, but to my rational mind, no way there's another whole diner in Stars Hollow proper. We never get official info on where exactly Michel lives, so in my mind, he lives a ways out of town, and the mystery diner is somewhere between him and the Inn.... (Did you catch the part where I said I was rational? Maybe rationally irrational when it comes to this show... :-) Anyway. Does the scene you have in mind take place during the plaid years, ASF?

Good sleuthing, Taryn! I was going to point out the black hat as a timeline clue.

Taryn for the win, with a handy assist from ASF!

Then my work here is done! :-)

Character: Only one episode Female Outside of the Hollow not of Rory's generation to me the character looks like Lorelai's generation, but a quick peek at IMDB reveals the actress to be closer to Emily/KB's age... Not at Chilton Rory interacts with her Lorelai also interacts with her We don't see anyone else we know interact with her, though one other person we know is in the same general location We don't see Rory and Lorelai eat with this person, though there is some discussion of food and drink The exact location of this person is not made clear, but I don't think it's as far away from Stars Hollow as Hartford TL: plaid years, post baskets, pre-Butch-induced swooning (2.14-3.03)

Bringing Up Baby is one of my faves! Your analysis of the David/Susan Luke/Lorelai parallels is great. Now, if you're able to see Christopher and Lorelai as the meant to be true love couple in GG, you could see a Philadelphia Story thing with Lorelai as the rich girl in denial (Katherine Hepburn), Christopher as the former love who knows her so well, Luke as the attractive temptation, able to keep up with her to a certain extent and clearly attracted to her, but a good guy in the end who won't take advantage (Jimmy Stewart), and Max, maybe, as the bland clueless guy she is planning to marry but who clearly doesn't really get her and is kind of condescending (whoever the actor was who played the boring guy). I think I've wandered more into fan fic realm than an intelligent discussion of L and L... but speaking of fanfic, I think I read a Rory centric one sometime in the past few months where Rory is set to marry a bland Dean (they got together later than in the show I think...), Logan as the Jimmy Stewart reporter brought in to cover the socialite wedding, and Jess as the Cary Grant ex who knows her so well... forget if it was finished and other details, will see if I can find it again....

Hammers and Veils! That was the first scene I thought of when ASF declared the theme--I love when Rory starts reading the veil....

One of the things I enjoy about this particular game is that it's unpredictable that way. You pick something that seems sort of obscure and random, and then as the questions are asked you realize, hey, there aren't that many scenes in Gilmore girls where characters are alone...or Sookie is seen outside of Stars Hollow...or where Luke is at the Crap Shack in season 7... And then of course, the opposite, where you think something will be easy and then it's not! Anyway, that's a lovely little Rory scene. I'll do a character.

Is it in Unto the Breach when she's packing and then tries on the engagement ring?
