(Gilmore Girls fan site)Mark O’Meara has a theory about Gilmore Girls:
For a long time I regarded it as a failing of Gilmore Girls that all of the secondary relationships and characters in the show seem simplistic. Now I am more of the opinion that the whole point of all those people with all their relationships is to be the poor cousin of Rory and Lorelai and their relationship. Their relationship is not just the centrepiece; it is the whole reason, and everything else is really just there to highlight how special this idealised mother-daughter relationship is.

This is my first blog on this site. Lets see how it goes.
It always amuses me when people claim that Rory is perfect. Or, rather that she was perfect before sleeping with Dean or taking up with Logan -take your pick. I may be anal retentive here, and people don’t mean literally. But, if Rory was a perfect child, so was I. Actually I have Rory beat in some ways. I never talked back to a teacher and certainly not a principal. I never ran away from home, even if it was just to my grandparents, like Rory did. The only thing I ever stole was a chip out of a fellow students bag during a field trip. And, I felt guilty about that. That doesn’t mean I was perfect. I fought with my brother, talked back to my mom on occasion. I could be mean (still can be) but I can safely say that I would have been described as a good kid. I was very much like Rory. And, even if they don’t mean it literally, the view of Rory is still skewed, in my opinion. Click to continue »
In late-breaking news, Caro, a student as USC, posted some candid photos of Alexis Bledel on the set of Gilmore Girls, while they were filming Rory’s upcoming graduation! Great shots.
Update: This is part of the filming of episode 721.

The Gilmore Girls cast and crew this week were filming Rory’s graduation from Yale. They were shooting at the USC campus, and several people blogged reports of the second day. I caught 3 particularly interesting ones, including a timelapse video. Click to continue »
Pippi Longstocking must really have gotten to Luke. What with Dean and Rory cuddling in the next seat over, and Luke’s imagination running away from him.
But what he comes up with is pretty deep:
Rory is like Pippi… She can have adventures and be free, she’s smart. The whole world’s waiting for her… Pippi is strong and independent. She can lift a horse above her head. And beat up bullies and build a hot-air balloon. She’s unique, like Rory. But I guarantee you, if Pippi had met Dean, there would be no horse, no balloons. He’d drag her down to his level, spend all her gold coins, and poof, like that, all her dreams would be gone.
This got me to thinking. Did Luke have a cool hand? Or was he just bluffing? How is Rory really like Pippi Longstocking? Click to continue »
