Random one that popped into my head - WYR Sookie or Michel have been played by a different actor?

Michel for sure. I love MM as Sookie way too much.

Would you rather Lorelai have had a child with Max or Jason?

Max, no question about it.  Can you imagine Jason with a child?  That poor kid.

WYR that instead of Rory stealing a yacht, she had changed her major, or tried to bankrupt Logan's father (forgot his name).

OMG, Rory trying to bankrupt Mitchum.  I'm cringing and dying laughing at the same time at the very thought!  She would be so far in over her head, it would be sad and hilarious both.

Ha, I had the same thought!  Jason is not cut out for fatherhood in any form.

 

We all know Lorelai has a tendency to run her mouth and act out at the worst times.  Who gloriously calls her out on it - Natalie and her husband at Thanksgiving dinner (the Yale argument) or the lawyer who took her "deposition" when Emily was being sued by a maid?

[ghoulina]

Natalie and her husband. The deposition made me laugh; the Thanksgiving dinner did not.

 

Who would you rather see perform in person? The infamous "folk singer" and the "doo wop group" of Rory and Paris's off campus apartment?

Hee, I wasn't even thinking about that! Just the impact on Loralei's love life and what a Rory 2.0 would be like. If it were Max, she probably wouldn't hooked up with Chris and if it were Jason, she wouldn't have hooked up with Luke. (Maybe later but it would have been another obstacle for them.) Now that you mention it, I don't think Jason as a father would be so bad especially if he or she stayed with Loralei most of the time and Jason on various weekends and holidays. Jason knew what it was like to have a cold father so he probably would have tried not to be like that. I think it would be entertaining to see him try. Plus that might have been something that would make him drop his lawsuit. I would also have liked to see Loralei raise a kid if she became a mother as an adult and when she was more financially established. I'd love to see a Rory 2.0 who wasn't so influenced by her grandparents. I always thought it made Rory into a brat. Sorry, too much off topic.

Folk singer. 

Would you rather live with a teen-aged Jess in Luke's over the diner apartment (before he expanded) for a year or live with Kirk for a year?

Kirk for a year because he had enough jobs and responsibilities around town that I might get a break from him from time to time.

Tana as part of the Puffs.

 

Would you have rathered Luke tell Lorelai about April, as soon as he found out, or Lorelai tell Luke about the tequila night with Christopher, the next morning?

[AsYouWish]

I would definitely have preferred that Luke tell Lorelai about April right away. It reflected so poorly on Luke and was the cause of so many problems that haunted the show through the rest of its run. 

Which relationship would you have erased from canon: Luke and Nicole or Lorelai and Max?

[timimouse]

I actually liked Max (unpopular opinion) so i would erase Nicole in a heartbeat. Didn't think she was necessary, especially since i don't think we saw enough of the relationship.

 

Would you have rathered seeing Rory and Dean work out (after his divorce) or Lane leave Stars Hollow and move to New York to follow her music dream?

That's a tough one, but I'm going to say have Rory and Dean work out, because at least it makes sabotaging the marriage have a reason.

Which couple that you would have never thought of putting together would you rather see: Michel and Mrs. Kim (Mr. Kim dies or something) or Kirk and Miss Patty?

[Guest]

Michel and Mrs. Kim.

Miss Patty was so maternal to Kirk that it would just feel wrong.

Who would you rather live with? The family from Application Anxiety or Cat Kirk?

[ghoulina]

Oh God, Cat Kirk. I'd take scratches all over my body any day than have to play one round of table trivia with those freaks. 

 

For your birthday - Birkin bag or a coffee cart that follows you around all day?

[Taryn74]

Birkin bag, I guess.  I'm not much of a coffee drinker so that would be a waste.  I'm not really into fancy purses either, but at least it would be useful.

WYR have been a guest at the Bracebridge dinner, or Emily's impromptu bachelorette party?

This one's a no-brainer.  Kirk.  He may be weird, but TJ"s lazy. 

Who would you rather find out is your long lost child: Jess or Logan?

[Guest]

Logan.  I'm sure I could somehow blackmail the Huntzbergers as a result.

Who would you rather raise? Gigi or Rogan's spawn?

Gigi.  She was much better after Christopher actually got parental. I can't imagine parenting a child with Logan or Rory being involved, as well.  Now, if it was a closed adoption situation, I'd take baby Rogan.


Would you rather attend "the game" and tailgate with Richard and Emily or the Winter Carnival with Jess, Dean, and Cora?

[Guest]

Tailgate with Richard and Emily. They were over the top, but fun until the whole blow-up happened.

Would you rather be tutored by Paris or be an intern for Michel?

I'm totally blanking on the "ADFKT" reference, but regardless to what it is, I'd take ANY Sookie over post-breakup Luke!

 

Would you rather parent Rory through her sleeping-with-married-Dean phase or her stealing-a-yacht-and-dropping-out-of-Yale phase?

Ugh, horrible choice. I'd say the Dean thing, only because she seemed to come around sooner. 

A Stars Hollow staple is moving to your town. Which one - Black, White, and Red movie theatre? Or Luke's?

[Guest]

Luke's! I would be so excited. :)

Who would you rather deal with? Caffeine-deprived Lorelai or kitchen-deprived Sookie?

This one is soooo hard because caffeine-deprived Lorelai is very rude and annoying and kitchen-deprived Sookie goes a little over the top.... but I think I'd take Sookie becasue crazy I can handle - rude gets under my skin. 

Would you rather Rory married Logan when he proposed or run away with Jess when he asked her to?

[Taryn74]

Run away with Jess. It may not have lasted long, but WOW the dynamic that would've brought to the show! ASP could've even kept her precious Rory-drops-out-of-Yale storyline and all of the tension that caused between Rory and Lorelai, but it would have been for a much more organic reason. And Richard & Emily would have been far more inclined to agree with Lorelai about Rory falling off her path if she had run away with some loser rather than hanging out in their pool house dating a Huntzberger. It would be interesting to see how Rory would have reacted to Lorelai and the g'rents both teaming up against her from the beginning. Hmmm.

Spinoff centered around Luke, Jess, Liz, and TJ; or centered around Kirk and Lulu?

[timimouse]

Ugh.... again, tough choice because I despise all of those characters, except Luke. But I'd rather spinoff with Luke et al in the hopes that Lorelai would visit from time to time. I doubt she'd visit Kirk and Lulu.

 

For those who love Christopher... would you rather Lorelai married Christopher before he got rich (instead of Sherrie), or after?

[DoubleUTeeEff]

I don't love Christopher but I thought he and Lorelai had chemistry. I'd rather she marry Christopher before he got rich instead of Sherrie because I'd enjoy Lorelai dealing with angry pregnant ex-girlfriend Sherrie rather than annoyingly nice pregnant Sherrie. Plus if she's going to end up with Luke anyway, I'd rather they just stay together than break up and have Lorelai marry Christopher in the interim.

Would you rather have all your meals cooked by Sookie or Luke? Caveat: you'd have to eat all your meals either with Sookie's entire family like L&L did in "6.05 We've got magic to do" when Sookie and Jacksons kids were being loud and Sookie and Jackson were asking them to turn down the TV OR in Luke's Diner at the counter with Kirk?

Easy one again.  Luke's at the counter with Kirk for two reasons.  One, I love Kirk.  Two, I'm not a fancy food eater. 

I'm going to turn murderous again. Would you rather Dean strangle Tristan with his Doosie's apron like he said he might, or one of the maids kill Emily

[timimouse]

One of the maids kill Emily. Not becasue I don't like Emily (I REALLY do) but becasue 1) the maid probably would've had a good reason and 2) I'd love to see Emily try to talk the killer into dropping the knife. 

 

Would you rather find out why it didnt work out between Jess and his dad in California or what the town loner had written on his protest sign*?

 

*I've ALWAYS wanted to know what he was protesting. Lol!

There is this man in my town who walks around on main street with a protest sign about as tall as he is and he has written a ton of stuff on it in small print.  I have seen him for at least 10 years and I have no idea what he's protesting.  I'm sometimes tempted to tell him to pick one thing and write it bigger, but I really just don't want to get involved.

That's kind of hilarious.

Would you rather:

Lorelai had married Jason or 

Emily had married Simon

[ghoulina]

Ugh. This is an evil question. 

I'm actually going to go with Lorelai married Jason. I guess I wanted Emily and Richard  back together more than L&L. 

 

(Plus, I have a feeling Lorelai and Jason would fizzle anyway, leaving her open for Luke. Emily is too stubborn, plus she's closer to the end of her life. No need to waste time on Simon.)

Paris and Rory decide to do a dangerous chemistry experiment in one of the rooms, or Miss Patty sets it on fire because she's been offered a role as an arsonist and wants to do research?

Another younger generation has a May/December thing going on.  Is it Lane with Gil (assuming both of them were single), or Rory with a Chilton teacher (after graduation, calm down Ms. Letourneau).

[theotherhalliwell]

I'll take Lane with Gil! I liked Gil a lot. More than Zach, in fact :)

Hmm, one of Emily's parties.  She's tough but as long as you do everything right, you're golden.  I can handle that a lot better.

 

Rory and Jess made it to prom!  Would you rather have seen them at the Stars Hollow prom (so we also got scenes with Lane and Dave) or at the Chilton prom (so we got to see Paris and Jamie)?

[theotherhalliwell]

Excellent question! I'd rather see Rory and Jess at Stars Hollow High. It would be interesting to see Rory trying to reconnect with people from her former school. Would it make Rory wonder how the past few years would have been different if she'd stayed there? Would they feel she's changed at Chilton in ways that she wouldn't have otherwise? Would some of her former classmates resent her for going to a posh school or are they all part of the Rory Gilmore Fan Club that all Stars Hollow adults seemed required to join? Do we see that Jess has a friend or two there we didn't know about? My one request would be that they don't run into Dean/Lindsay. The one thing Season 3 didn't need was another ridiculous Jess vs Dean showdown!

You're allowed to change the AYITL stories and characterization for just one of the Gilmore girls. Would you rather change - and hopefully improve - Lorelai's or Rory's?

[Guest]

Rory's.  Lorelai's was okay, just a little boring.  Rory's was not good.

What would you rather have seen Paris doing in the revival - storyline as written or a personality change into a kind, nurturing kindergarten teacher?

[coffeecoffeecoffee]

I love the idea of Paris turning out so differently than expected, but I think all things considered I'm happy she's still her terrifying but amazing, kickass self. Part of me wishes she didn't have kids because I don't see her as someone who'd have wanted them and am ambivalent about her and Doyle, but I'd keep her revival storyline.

Who would you rather have learned more about: Luke's parents or Emily's parents (Lorelai's grandparents)?

I know this game has been dead for a year, but it looks like so much fun that I'm hoping we can bring it back to life!

I agree about Paris not having kids. She doesn't seem like she'd be interested or even like kids. I'd keep her and Doyle together they are cute together and I love her reaction when Doyle tells her he'll follow her where ever she goes. Given how crappy her parents are the look on her face that someone loves her and will move anywhere she goes. It was really nice. I do still wish we had seen Paris and Jess together though. They both had bad family situations they had in common and most people didn't like them. When Rory, Jess and Paris are talking about books I got more interested in Paris and Jess. 

I'd really like to know both. What was Emily's relationship with her mother? Did they get along? What about her father? What did he do if anything. I think one of her grandfather's founded the hospital Richard was in the Forgiveness and Stuff. I always wondered how much money Emily's family had and their dynamic given Emily's obsess with status. What did her parents think of Richard? Or that he engaged to someone else? What were Luke's parents like? His dad sounded like such a fun guy for being part of the Reenactors. What was his mother like? Like Liz or different?

Completely agree with all of this.  It would have actually been rather funny to have Paris be the head of the elite surrogacy clinic like she was, but with no kids of her own because she hates babies/kids (in that 'it's only tv so don't take it too seriously' kind of way).  And I didn't understand the point of breaking her and Doyle up.  But, ASP, so whatever.
