I love, love, love this show! :) So glad the new season has finally arrived.

I think Rory will be back in school as soon as her community service ends... and that she'll probably get tired of living under Emily's nose. Maybe she'll leave the house with a better understanding of the relationship between her mother and grandparents and exactly why it is the way it is.

I think Logan is going to dump Rory soon.

I read an article earlier in the summer talking about how well fans were responding to the Logan-Rory romance... so I think they'll keep him around long-term. However, that doesn't mean that they won't break up, get back together, etc. ;)

Did you see the look on his face when they were talking about her being in school? I think that will definately put a strain on their relationship. He seems to WANT to be with that crazy smart girl who is so set on her goals of being a journalist.

Oh, and I think he is totally adorable so they should DEFINATELY keep him around. ;)

Yes! That is exactly what made me think that he would dump her -- it's like she's trying to be something she's not, and he's not digging it.

The spoiler site I frequent has much of the season's spoilers already up, and I can't WAIT until someone makes his return (even if it's just for a short while). And no, it's not Dean. I don't think Christopher will make an appearance this season either.

Although I find it ironic that Jared Padalecki's new series has his brother's character named "Dean".

I know who you're talking about, and I can't wait either!

I thought the same thing when I first heard his name.

Can Albright score diplomatic coup on WB's `Gilmore Girls'?

Published October 18, 2005


"Gilmore Girls," the only TV show to have featured both literary giant Norman Mailer and Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach as guest stars, is adding another feather to its casting cap, Zap2it.com reports.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will make a cameo appearance on the WB show Oct. 25. Playing herself, Albright will offer some advice to Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel), who's about to celebrate her 21st birthday but is estranged from mom Lorelai (Lauren Graham).

"I am a big fan of `Gilmore Girls' and I had a great time," says Albright, who filmed her appearance late last month. "It was an opportunity to do something different for a quick minute, and I learned how hard it is to memorize those lines."

"Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has long said Albright would be a dream guest star for the show.

Mailer appeared as himself last season, and Bach has a recurring part as a member of Lane's (Keiko Agena) band. Past episodes have also featured guest spots by singer Carole King (who also sings the show's theme song) and porn star-turned-actress Traci Lords.
The Personals page was compiled by Cheryl Bowles from Tribune news services and staff reports.

It was FABULOUS when Emily was telling off Mrs. Huntsburger and putting her in her place ! I love them, although their snobbishness does make me mad sometimes.

I love Paris, her comic relief is classic, I LOVED their freshman year @ Yale when she had that life coach. Classic


I don't think the Lorelais will be apart much longer with the Grandparents against the Huntsburgers, maybe until the end of the season, but they'll work toward patching soon I think.

Let's talk about what's important: I'm still drooling over that Birkin.

You and me both!!! I'm so jealous.

I missed it from 8:30 until right up to the end...what was it that Richard wanted to tell Lorelai about with regards to Rory?

i think she went back to Yale

That did not happen, you douchebag.

Richard and Lorelai don't get to talk in this episode.

While Lorelai and Luke are documenting and taking inventory of the stuff they're donating to the Salvation Army, the doorbell rings and there's Richard with Lorelai's dollhouse and "Lorelai, we need to talk about Rory."

Fade out to Executive Producer Amy Sherman-Palladino.

It's official. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright makes an appearance on Gilmore Girls next week. Gotta love their choice of guest stars -- Norman Mailer...Sebastian Bach...now Madeleine Albright. Sweet.

Methinks I'll be doing some hair pulling in the weeks to come. This season seems like it'll be one of the best:

Click only if you want to read GG spoilers!

Guess who's coming back to Stars Hollow???

Yeah, that made me mad, all the people I was watching with were like WHAT !!! THen there was no sneak peek of the convo in the scenes from next week either... GRRRRR.....

OTW, thanks for the spoilers! I don't want to post any, but I just like the part where it said, "Rumor has it someone whose name rhymes with Duke..." as if we're reading the spoilers and don't want to guess. :p

Okay, so what did we think about Rory's 21st birthday last night? I was wondering how they were going to incorporate Madeleine Albright. Amy Sherman-Palladino's pure genius.

Luke calling Rory his almost step-daughter made me go awww. He's always cared about that kid. It's great that she's finally becoming his daughter (though we don't know when that is)

Hello Richard and Emily! Thank you for finally realizing what I've known all along --- your precious little Rory is NOT PERFECT! I'm glad to see Rory and Lorelai trying to be civil with each other...I don't know how much of this war I can take any longer!

And since the trailers for next week have already been featured:

JESS COMES BACK. OH YEAH.

I wonder if their chemistry's changed at all on screen since they've been in a long time relationship off screen.

LauraLay and Luke are calling off their engagemetn.


Rory is going back to Yale.

Are you drunk at 11 in the morning?

You're losing cool points, man. You haven't been paying attention. Tsk tsk.

I know. Seriously though i only watch this show on ABC family. I like the show don't get me wrong. But the other person speaks even before the person talking is done. But aside from that I got so confused so much with the show because I wasn't sure whether or not they were showing it in chronological order. So I gave up.

I think I caught the regular episodes on the WB one night but I was lost. So now I am sad and i am desperately wishing that Rory goes back to Yale. Although I am not sure if that is the best thing for her to do, but I mean I wish I went to yale so she better go dammit.



PS. I sing the theme song in the shower. Gay I know. but whatever.

Where you leeeead
I will folllowwwwww
something something something
if you need
NEED ME TO BE WITH YOU!!!!!
I will follow OH OH

Carole King would be so proud.

AFAIK they are showing the epis in chronological order on ABC Family. They're showing last season's epis starting November 1st, which is pretty cool because they've never gotten past the Digger stage on ABC Family before. I'm certain this'll transform many more people into becoming GG addicts.

I'm just doing cartwheels because JESS IS COMING BACK. OH YEAH. (It just has to be said again)

OMG I am SOOOOO excited that Jess is coming back. And I loved on the prevews for next week how he was like, This isn't you, where's the girl I knew!

Hopefully Rory will get her life together ASAP. And I really don't like her dating Logan. Oh and I liked that Lane was back in this episode.


PS-I totally wanted to post last night, but knowing that some people are not on the east cost and in some cases way out in Hawaii, I figured best to wait until today.

You're are so kind!

Normally I'm not home Tuesday nights, but I tape it so I can watch it Wednesday. Last night I couldn't go to sleep so I ended up watching it at 2am. :p

I'm always visiting spoiler sites anyway. It's nice to be surprised, but it's even better when you know who's coming back!

I missed it this week! (My trainer had to reschedule our workout and we could only do Tue night!)

Anyone have any updates?

And I LOVE Logan!!! Maybe because he looks a lot like one of my ex's! ;)

Episode starts off with Richard at Lorelai's doorstep with the dollhouse...the continuation from last week. Richard wants to talk to Lorelai about Rory, and one can tell Lorelai is not pleased. What's weird is that Richard makes no mention of "Lorelai, you're right. Mr. Huntzberger's an ass..." Richard wants Rory to go back to Yale, but he wants to bribe her either with a new car or with giving her her trust fund money early (as opposed to when she's 25). Lorelai's not having it because she knows that's not the way to go. Rory likes school and she needs to get that back. Richard leaves, pissed off. Meanwhile, Luke tries in vain to move the dollhouse into the house but it's too heavy. After a few minutes Lorelai lets him know that the roof comes off.

Then comes Rory's freaky dream sequence. Enter Madeleine Albright. Remember Rory's bday from years ago and how her mom makes it tradition of getting into bed with Rory at 4am to commemorate the time she was born? Well, Rory dreams that the former Secretary of State is her mom. Madeleine Albright compares Rory's birth to squatting over pieces of dynamite. FREAKING HILARIOUS.

Lorelai runs into Babette and her man buying supplies for Halloween. They're constructing gallows in their front yard.

Rory and Logan are sucking face in the pool house and Emily interrupts them. She asks Logan if they had plans for Rory's 21st bday. Emily wants to throw Rory a party and Rory reluctantly agrees, even though she and her mom had been planning for her 21st since she was 5 years old. Their plan was to go to Atlantic City, sit at the blackjack table and start playing at 11:59pm while drinking martinis...playing 21 when she turned 21. They were going to use their winnings to buy 21 things. There was this thing that included 21 guys, which would be inappropriate now considering there's Logan and Luke. You can tell Rory's starting to feel some kind of remorse. But eh, she proceeds to continue sucking face with Logan.

Emily's busy planning every detail of the party. She remembers how her own invitations for her 21st had real pearls. Rory's will have lace. Emily keeps calling Lane "Rory's Asian friend" and Rory keeps saying "LANE". The guest list is being constructed and Emily asks if Rory wants Lorelai's name on the list. DUH, Emily. Chocolate Praline Crunch Cake will be the birthday cake.

Using Babette and Morty's sick Halloween thing as inspiration, she decides not to do the usual hanging caramel apples from the trees. Instead she wants to be a mad scientist skit in her yard, using Luke as her patient. She wants to use link sausages to represent Luke's entrails. She goes to Sookie for prime sausage selection.

Emily and Richard are freaking out that Rory's having sex and the fact that Logan's quite the experienced young man so they call in a priest. They don't want Rory having "serious relations with the boy". So the priest comes to dinner (mmmm...pot roast and mashed potatoes) and he compares her virginity to a gift. "It's a gift you can only give to one man...if you give it away to soon to the wrong man, when the right one comes along, you won't have a gift to give, you'll have to give a sweater!" Rory informs the priest that the gift has been given and that it's probably in Fiji by now. She then asks if he's already seen "The 40 Year Old Virgin".

After the g-parents find out Rory's been screwing already, they fill the poolhouse with their knickknacks and doodads so Rory will have to move back into the main house, preferably in the bedroom next to theirs.

Rory discovers that Lorelai has not RSVP'ed to the party. Lorelai hasn't RSVP'ed because she didn't know that Rory was the one who sent the invite...she thought it was Emily. Rory throws a tantrum about how she won't have a chocolate box and proceeds to call Luke's screaming. Lorelai finds out that it was Rory who sent the invite and is excited to go. Luke's trippin' because he's never heard Rory use the word 'HELL'.

The day of her birthday arrives and the clock shows the time she was born. Both mom and daughter are in separate beds.

Her birthday party is quite the affair. Emily even gets the bartender to concoct a special drink named after Rory. It's pink and it looks nice, but apparently it tastes like ass.

Lane and Logan finally meet. Lane brings Zack and Rory tells Lane that the guest soap in the bathroom has her face on it. Paris is also there with Doyle, and guess who's the new editor of the Yale Daily News? PARIS -- "Last year I was sleeping with the editor..." DOYLE -- "And this year I am"

Lorelai initiates convo with Rory with "Hey birthday girl..." You'd think that the convo would continue but Doyle and Paris can't shut up about cracking whips, and next thing you know...Rory digs out.

Meanwhile, Richard is nowhere to be found. He's in his study -- pissed off because he thinks he's failed as Rory's guardian. They just don't want Rory to get knocked up early...you know, like Lorelai.

Luke gives Rory a really pretty present -- a necklace and pearl pendant that belonged to his mother. Rory introduces Luke to some DAR chick as "my step-father to be". Luke, however...has no clue what the DAR stands for and manages to get a tee hee hee har har because he doesn't know what DAR means.

Lorelai tells Rory about Paul Anka (Rory's surprised he's still alive), the construction at the house, and how they're going to live in the house. Rory tells her mom that her community service hours are getting smaller....and that a lot has changed.

Just when you think mom and daughter's convo's going well...they bring out her birthday cake. I'm hating this shitty timing. And with that...Lorelai's ready to go home. It's okay, Lorelai. Just take baby steps.

On their way home, Luke lets her know that she can pull link sausages out of him if she wants.

Trailers for upcoming episodes show Jess' return. Jess is heard yelling at Rory: "What's going on? Living at your grandparents' place? Going out with this jerk? This isn't you!"

Announcer dude talks about Rory's fairytale life, but Jess' return makes her question all of that.

JESS IS BACK. OH YEAH.

This made me LOL for some reason.... :D :D

Deep in the bottom of your hearts...YOU KNOW JESS IS THE ONE FOR RORY!

gosh I'm such a dork.

p.s. I hate the fact that Order of Omega is at the same time as GG

At first I couldn't stand his character because he was just so sullen and bleh. But seeing Rory and her relationships in the past two seasons leads one to think that Jess is the one for her.

Rory wanted a BF. Enter Dean. Easy.

Rory decides to have sex for the first time. Enter Dean again. Easy.

Rory wants a grown up relationship and have sex all the time. Enter Logan. This one was too easy...although I did like the Life and Death Brigade storyline and the dress she wore.

Jess was the only one where she had to really work at it. This one seemed the most realistic.

TWO WEEKS IN A ROW! HELP!!! OTW, what happened last night on GG?

No need to fret! Last night's episode was a repeat of the the season premiere!

LOST and Desperate Housewives did it last week...I'm thinking all the networks are gearing up for November sweeps.

I really really really hope that Jess and her get back together. I wish he would come back to the show.

When I saw the previews for him coming back and asking her what she was doing, I was like go Jess. She needs to get her act together. I cant believe she isnt in school. I mean when she was back on campus and she saw that orientation group, I thought for sure shed miss it enough to want to go back.

It definately changed up the stories on the show this season.

I wish her and Lor were talking more though and I will be crushed if her and Luke dont get married. Im afraid they may not.

At the beginning of the season, writers were sure that Dean was out of the picture (especially since Jared Padalecki had his own series). At that time Milo Ventimiglia was in talks for his own show too, so I'm not really sure how that went out. If things are in the works, it's highly doubtful the Jess character will come back as a regular...recurring role, maybe.

I'd give it two or three more episodes before the Lorelais kiss and make up, I think.

As far as Luke and Lorelai not getting married...let's just say if they DON'T -- it won't be Rory's fault. It's gonna be a nail biter season, kids. ;)

Thoughts on tonight's episode?

I could have done without the usual Jackson/Sookie ranting...even the whole Laine and Zack thing got on my nerves...but I thought it was a good episode -- especially when Lorelai got to talk to her mother.

It's about time that Lorelai and Rory finally reconciled, and I'm wondering how the Luke and Christopher situation will turn out!

It's such a great season so far!!!

I agree, pretty good episode. Maybe things will start to be better between all the women in the Gilmore family. And YAY for Rory going back to school!!!! :D But I did think she got REALLY annoying when she was trying to get that job. Would anyone really give you a job for being such a pest?

The previews were intruiging. So, Luke has a kid, huh? Weird. Obviously he should just be honest and TELL Lorelai, but this is tv, so I wouldn't expect it to happen right away.

I think I might be the only person left out there who doesn't really care if Luke and Lorelai don't get married. They're cute and all, but I like Christopher better. Weird, I know. I hope it will be interesting when he comes back with millions of dollars.

Part of me felt that they were doing that for a reason like they were setting the scene for a Laine/Zack breakup. His behavior was just plain rude and irritating. I would have smacked the kid if I was Lorelai.

Lindz..I'm kinda with you on the Christopher thing. Obviously this Luke's kid thing will be an issue since they just had the "no secrets" conversation...

I think it's a fluke. There's NO WAY a guy as cute as Luke could have a daughter so unlike him...and so similar to Loralie, don't you think (in the mannerisms at least). I think she just wants a daddy, heard he and her mom used to do whatever, and adopted him as a surrogate.

I also know that Christopher, with all of his fabulous business skills, will invest money in some shady company and lose all of his millions.

I almost cried when Loralie and Rory ran into each others arms, dropping phones on the lawn and everything. Finally!

p.s. I would call security on anybody who pestered me that much for a job.

Haha, YEP! I almost cried too! Then, felt like a huge loser for almost crying over a tv show. Glad I'm not the only one. :D

OMG I totally hate the fact that the writers wrote in for Luke to have a child. First, he's not a main character, so he shouldn't even be messing with the flow like that. Second, I would much rather see Rory and Logan break up than Luke and Lorelai.

I'm hoping that maybe this girl's mom said something about Luke being the father b/c she wanted to have a good guy role model type, but in the end her father is the mom's one night stand or something. I really hope it's not true. :(

That was one hell of a way for Luke to find out he was a dad was at that science fair. If all kids did that, Maury Povich wouldn't have much of a show. It's like his daughter is a mini Rory of sorts. Really smart, kinda awkward.

My brother has the worst timing for wanting to chat while this show is on. How did Rory end up at the newspaper? What caused her to change her life?
