chessiegal May 14 Share May 14 Speaking of ages, from IMDb trivia: Quote Alexis Bledel just turned 19 years old when she began acting as 16-year-old Rory Gilmore. Quote Keiko Agena (Lane Kim) was 26 playing a 15-year-old in Season 1. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8661433

I was looking at the IMDb page for the series that has tons of trivia about the show. One trivia entry says that Kirk held 62 different jobs during the series. I knew it was a lot, but I never would have guessed 62! I remember reading this somewhere, but another entry notes that Liza Weil auditioned for the part of Rory. They didn't want her for that role but liked Liza so much they created the role of Paris for her. I read that too.

chessiegal May 20 Share May 20 I've found that IMDb trivia can have errors, but the 62 jobs over the length of the series sounds about right even though it surprised me. I found an error in the Monk episode "Mr. Monk is At Your Service". Trivia said Natalia's mother was nursing a Bloody Mary when in fact she was sipping a martini. I created an account with IMDb and had it corrected, including dialogue that went with the scene. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8666742

scarynikki12 May 27 Share May 27 Thinking about the deer episode from season 1. I completely understand Rory's and Lorelai's outrage at her not being allowed to take the test even though she was a few minutes late. From their perspective it's completely unfair and, after all, she ended up late because a deer ran into her car. But Charleston's side was also understandable. He shouldn't have been condescending to Lorelai in their meeting but, from his and Max's perspective, Rory was late to school with no proof as to why. Yes she was claiming she was in a minor car accident, and I do think Max believed her, but other students arrived late with all kinds of excuses they couldn't prove. Charleston even rattled them off and I'm sure some of them were valid just like Rory's. If Rory had called the police to report the accident and then their insurance to file a claim she'd have had paperwork to take to Max and Charleston to support how being late was out of her control. Hindsight and all that of course but I think she'd have been allowed an opportunity for a retake if she had documentation of the accident. Even hard ass teachers and headmasters will work with their students in the event of an emergency. Finally my theory is the extra credit offered to Rory is an off the books policy that gets offered to students in certain situations. If the excuse for the tardiness or absence is believable, or if the parents are influential/rich enough, then Charleston may grant the request should the teacher make it. If they don't then it doesn't get offered. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8672983
Taryn74 May 28 Share May 28 The older I get, the more I agree with Emily regarding dancing with the guy at the 60/40 bar in There's The Rub. The first dance was fine, but when he pulled her in for the cheek-to-cheek slow dance, even Lorelai should have been able to understand that was inappropriate for a married woman and not acted like Emily was being unreasonable for wanting to leave. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8673062

scarynikki12 May 28 Share May 28 I saw on reddit the other day someone theorize that Mr Kim was never around because he was constantly traveling around acquiring the antiques they sold I the store. Now that's a theory and I immediately hit subscribe. There's also a glorious level of Christopher hate which made me happy. 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8673589
chessiegal May 28 Share May 28 More likely it was cheaper to not pay an actor to be Mr. Kim and it became a running joke that we never see him (other than the Revival). Kind of like we never saw Niles' wife Maris on Frasier. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8673611
scarynikki12 May 28 Share May 28 Of course but there was always an explanation for why Maris was never seen. I think the Ps just didn't care about Mr Kim but didn't want to him to be dead so they just stopped referencing him until the revival. The traveling around to get antiques theory works to explain his absence, why he was never shown helping at the store, and why he wasn't referenced much. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8673619

andromeda331 May 30 Share May 30 What I love about the Deer episode is Lorelai and Rory's talk later. Lorelai worries that she's pressured Rory to go to Harvard. She is worried about Rory loosing it in class and being so tired and overwhelmed by Chilton's workload. Rory assures her mother that Harvard is her dream and she can handle the workload. She was just far behind. Which is true. She transferred after the school year started and had to catch up. It's a great talk and Lorelai's being a good mom telling her if she wanted to go back to Stars Hollow it was okay.

To Lorelai it was just dancing. And maybe a little happy for her mom passing for a 40 year old woman. They were having fun together for once and her mom looked like she was having fun.

Emily was CLEARLY uncomfortable during the second dance, which is the one I had a problem with and feel that Lorelai should have been able to pick up on. I do agree, though, that Emily blaming it all on Lorelai for even taking her there was wrong. Typical Emily, LOL, but still wrong. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4655-all-episodes-talk-lorelai-and-rory-and-the-people-they-love/page/57/#findComment-8674877

It said Max Medina was only supposed to be on for a few episodes, but they liked him so well they kept him around for longer. Only in the Palladino's world would a teacher dating a student's mother be appropriate.
