blueray February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 After her affair with Dean, I can't think of a single significant moment Rory shared with Lane (I didn't watch season 7). They had at less seasons together, but they had some while she was dating Logan. I know that they had a scene complaining about their boyfriends with Paris. And I'm sure they had a scene at least when Lane got married. They definetly grew apart as the show went on. And Lane was mostly in her own story with Zack. I wonder what they are going to do about Paul Anka? He would be at least 9 or 10 years old now. It would be nice if they got the same kind of dog to play him. Link to comment
MaryM47 February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 Asian Caesar was called Caesar on screen. Although, I think only once. IRL friend of "Asian Caesar" here. I texted him earlier today, and he confirmed that he had no name on the show. On IMDB he is listed as "Man #2" in the final episode, which was the only time he had a line. There's is always a chance that SP misspoke during an episode and referred to him as Caesar, but as far as canon goes, he is without name. 3 Link to comment
Anela February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 Cesar is returning as well - the actor who portrays him confirmed in a tweet. Oh, good! I loved his singing and dancing in the cafe. He looked like he was having a great time. Link to comment

Commando Cody February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 After this many years, do you think Lorelei had to find yet another Jeep engine? 1 Link to comment
MaryM47 February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 I wonder if some of the sets and props (that Jeep is still looking pretty good after all these years) are looking so much the same because they are planning some flashbacks to the years we've missed? And how does LG look like they've kept her in mothballs with the other props - she hasn't aged a bit! 1 Link to comment
Smad February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 No extentions on the Crap Shack. I'm really worried about the whole 'building all the old sets' part of the revival. I think someone else already mentioned their fear of stagnation. It's all the same (crap shack, jeep, luke's apartment etc.) except the characters will be older. Why is Luke's apartment even being build again? Whether him and Lorelai are together or not I figured he would move out of there even if it's just so April can have her own room (which she would so need at teenager stage) and frankly S7 Luke would have done it. Sadly S7 Luke is not ASPs Luke so there is that. Lorelai's jeep still being around is just as nonsense to me. It's been 8 years and no changes in Stars Hollow or any of the characters lives (even if it's just the physical)? There is being nostalgic and wanting the old charm back and then there is stagnant and stupid. 1 Link to comment

junienmomo February 7, 2016 Share February 7, 2016 That Jeep picture isn't even in front of Lorelai's house. Her front yard never looked like that. On the other hand, it's plausible, if not probable, that the Jeep is still around, probably not her primary car anymore. Luke did find her a replacement engine and had the car rebuilt in season 7. Just another friggin' way that he showed her his feelings, which she missed again, later claiming he never responds. Jumping to conclusions that they stayed together, eventually had kids (requires a kid-friendly vehicle), and Lorelai's romantic sensibilities, I can see the Jeep getting used once in a while. 1 Link to comment
Eyes High February 7, 2016 Share February 7, 2016 (edited) Kelly Bishop had this to say about Paris in the revival: “Paris is a hoot,” Bishop raved of Rory’s bestie. “It’s unbelievable what Amy has written for Paris. People are going to have so much fun with it.” I hope this doesn't mean that Paris never became a doctor. On the other hand, maybe we'll finally get Lesbian Paris. Or Jess and Dean.

LostWithSawyer February 7, 2016 Share February 7, 2016 Haha I was gonna say, he's a movie star, he's not gonna do Gilmore Girls... Haha, that is far more mature than my response was going to be (something about how hot he is, lol). Maybe Lauren could convince him to make a cameo since she shares the Parenthood connection! Far-fetched, I know. On a positive note, a casting like that would make the show more diverse, and that is always a good thing. It would also add to the realism of Rory being exposed to more of the world and meeting different types of people outside of SH and Yale. It would be interesting if Rory met someone while traveling for her job who shares her worldly aspirations but also honestly appreciates her small town roots. I am doing a series re-watch, and I just watched the episode where Dean and Luke argue outside of the Twickam (sp?) house. I think that Dean was only half correct with his point that neither he nor Luke would ever be "enough" for Rory and Lorelai. I think that Lorelai and Luke have so much identity "as the town" that they are perfectly suited to run small businesses and truly be content in SH. However, I think that it is true that Rory wants more than a basic SH life from what we know of her character. I feel like Rory should end up with someone who will stretch her intellectually, challenge her and broaden her worldview (all things I think her character was written to want in her long-term partner). I don't think that any of the known boyfriends could do that AND also truly appreciate her devotion to SH. I think that Dean was written down as the series went on, Jess is doing well with his new life in Philidelphia and Logan dealt with SH because he had to but perhaps would never chose that life otherwise. I am becoming more and more interested to see ASP's vision for Rory's partner in the new episodes. 1 Link to comment
roomtorome February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 I have such mixed feelings about this whole thing - I adored the show - from the start to about 70% of the way into season 5 and then it all started to seem like a different show, season 6 was awful to me and, then could barely watch season 7. ASP was there for some of the really bad writing and choices pre-season 7 so I don't know feel warm and fuzzy about what she can do and I really didn't like Bunheads if that is an example of her more recent writing - And, no Richard. That is going to hurt. Or Sookie (I loved early Sookie, not the later version) - but I did read that Matt C is coming back which also made me queasy - in what kind of storyline, I don't know but I didn't care for the character of Logan - just didn't find him interesting. I guess I'll take a peek and decide whether I want the show further tainted in my mind given how I felt after it ended. How do people know they are putting up Luke's apartment again? I see the diner but is there a photo showing they are setting up the apartment again? Or, if he does have the apt still set up and they did get married, maybe it's just there for him to be able to take a quick break during work - Oh, well. I wish them good scripts, directing, acting - Link to comment

TomServo February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 I guess my question is: how does Amy feel about season six, looking back? Because in my (possibly unpopular) opinion, season six was far worse than season seven. I don't disagree that season six was bad, but for me, season five was the worst. Or whichever one it was that Rory was throwing herself at Logan like a 14-year-old. And then Lorelai became even less self-aware than usual and hated Logan for behaving exactly like she would have at his age (and, let's be honest; still did well into adulthood. She wanted to vandalize Chilton at Rory's graduation). And then ASP rewrote the Luke and Lorelai "before the show started" back story yet *again* and she started messing with his personality. Blah, blah, blah. Every character annoyed me that season. I understand the reasons people hate season 7, but it had gone off the rails long before that for me. Season 5 was when my spouse stopped watching it with me. :( I'm fine if they don't waste time on either Dean or Logan. Jess at least has a connection to Luke, so at least an update on his character would be nice. Link to comment

readster February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 I forgot about Grant (Silly me). I'm sure we will see him and I have to admit, AS-P not using Taylor? That would not make any sense, especially when the actor is free and in good health. I see really no point with Marty or Digger showing up. While Digger was a main cast member in season 4, he really has no point in the series unless he is buying up Richard's business after his death. Though the actor is apparently going to be in Luke Cage, so who knows? I can't believe they are even questioning Chris not being in it. AS-P loves Rick Sutcliff as much as Jared and loves writing Christopher for good or ill. That shouldn't have even been a question. Link to comment

Less positive towards Matt Czuchry -- I feel like his story was over and fitting him in doesn't feel organic. While my inner fan girl likes the idea of seeing absolutely everyone, can they write a story that packs in all these people without it feeling like overstuffed fan service? 2 Link to comment
Eyes High February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 (edited) Jess is back Milo's twitter Let's hope it's grown up Jess and not petulant asshat Jess! MV tweeted a photograph of the script. The pen on top seems to be strategically placed to bar out the name of the episode. I wonder if this is MV's only script.

stopthestatic February 11, 2016 Author Share February 11, 2016 I'm pretty sure he'll be returning in Spring, because my personal feeling is that Amy will write and direct the premiere and finale and Dan will do the middle two episodes. Some new set pictures of Lorelai's house interior: Are they shooting out of order because it does not look like Winter there. Where's the two sinks?! This feels like an oversight. Luke/Lor bedroom Rory bedroom Kitchen was re-done and it looks GREAT! Finally some changes. So much more realistic. Link to comment

Yeah, I considered Sutton's Bunheads character a Lorelai-lite, so to say. It would be funny if the two kept encountering each other around SH's (especially if Sutton's the new dance teacher) and having these deju vu moments lol. Or maybe Sutton will be Christopher's new squeeze? A replacement Lorelai?

A lot of people are also suggesting she's an inn employee that'll be filling in the Sookie/best friend role and I actually wouldn't mind that. A dark thought about Sutton playing Luke's new girlfriend crossed my mind, but I quickly pushed it away. I mean, unless ASP really wants to screw with the large javajunkie portion of the fandom, she'd be playing with fire on that one. As for her being Lorelai's new BFF and/or employee, I think that would be over kill. The two actresses don't look exactly alike, but they definitely share certain physical commonalities (tall, pale, brunette, thin) that it could be short of much to have them sharing a lot of scenes. I liked that Lorelai and Sookie where so different in every way, it made them "pop" more, imo. Here's a link to a picture of Lauren and Sutton together http://www.broadway.com/shows/young-frankenstein/photos/a-ritzy-opening-night-extravaganza-for-mel-brooks-young-frankenstein/63644/photo-op-young-frankenstein-opening-on-broadway-sutton-foster-lauren-graham They could convincingly play sisters or cousins. 1 Link to comment
