Gilmore News - Gilmore Girls Community
The top community for Gilmore Girls. Keeping Gilmore Girls alive and news on what the Gilmore cast is up to now. Daily updates since 2005.
In The Gilmore Girls Companion, there’s a great story about how Sean Gunn came to be a regular on the series, though originally he just played a small part. I won’t give it away, but at the end of the interview, Sean reflects:
“Sometimes I watch the very first scene I ever did on the show and I’m like, ‘God, that was pretty good; how did I get so over the top after that?”
Do you think that was true? Did Kirk become *too* over-the-top? Or was he just spot-on quirky?
In ‘Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom!‘, Kirk was left to organize the Easter egg hunt in Stars Hollow. However, 59 eggs go unaccounted for. And Stars Hollow is starting to smell. Taylor is beyond mad at Kirk (like, seriously overreacting mad) and the town bands together to search out the eggs. In the end, 12 are still missing.
After Taylor says Kirk “brought disaster” upon them, that he has to cancel the flower show now, it’s Luke who comes to the rescue. Kirk, sleep deprived on his search, is approached by Luke, who hands him all 12 eggs. How he found them, I’ve no idea. It must have taken forever!!
Why did Luke go so far out of his way for Kirk?? And seriously, can you think of anyone more considerate??

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’m about to write this, but was Kirk right? In the Season 6 premiere of Gilmore Girls, ‘The New and Improved Lorelai Gilmore‘, Miss Patty and Babette start off bombarding Luke with questions about how he proposed to Lorelai and he seemed uncomfortable telling them that Lorelai proposed to him. Later, when Kirk comes into the store to sell Luke a ring for Lorelai, he goes on about how disappointed Luke must be.
Kirk thinks that Lorelai stole his thunder, which she potentially did, but I’m not sure Luke would have cared if other people didn’t keep seeming disappointed on his behalf. Kirk continues, saying it must be embarrassing and upsetting for Luke:
“Now you’ll never have that moment. You won’t get to be the romantic one, to sweep her off her feet.”
Now, that may resonate with Luke. Remember their first date? That was a sweep-you-off-your-feet moment. In Luke fashion. Luke now seems determined to have his moment, but do you think this really shook him? Why and how? [Read more...]
Everyone’s favorite Stars Hollow townie is now on Twitter! Ok, it’s not *really* Kirk, just someone pretending to be him, but still fun. I imagine most of you have questions at this point, so let me begin…
Twitter is a social networking site. Kind of like Facebook status updates, but on overdrive. Each user has 140 characters to post messages (“tweets”) about what he/she is doing. And other users can “friend” you and reply to your messages. Just like Kirk did for me!
@arieanna Canada! It is great to meet people from outside Stars Hollow. My mother never lets me leave Connecticut
When you “friend” someone on Twitter, you are said to “follow” them. So, once you’re signed up, here is where you can find Kirk:

Hopefully the person behind this Twitter account keeps up the pretense, because it’s already been extremely fun for me! Some of the messages fake-Kirk have twittered are:
Another lovely morning in Stars Hollow. Taylor is trying to get Luke to put up harvest decorations again. I hope he puts up the turkey. [link]
Almost time for my shift at the Stars Hollow Beauty Shoppe. Taylor makes us spell it that way. Free makeovers for all! [link]
The status messages seem to give us the impression that time has not moved in Stars Hollow, but that Kirk is exactly where we left him. I wonder if the author behind this will pick up and evolve the “story” further?
Thanks to Crosby for the tip!

Gilmore Girls Episode Recap:
Kim’s Antiuqes is "Closed for Wedding" and Mrs. Kim happily oversees a kitchen full of Korean women making kimchi, soon to be making dumplings. Lane comes down and is swarmed by her nosy relatives – but sent back upstairs to her hot kimchi-smelling room so the cooking is done on time.
Lorelai comes by with Lane’s wedding dress. Mrs. Kim gets a call and comes out rather distracted. Lorelai pulls out the dress for her, and tells her she made some modifications due to stains, but tried to keep the integrity of the dress. Though it is a whole new dress, essentially (Lane has a huge smile for this), Mrs. Kim doesn’t even notice. Lorelai tells Lane to hide the dress so Mrs. Kim doesn’t notice it has a waist until it’s too late.

Gilmore Girls Episode Recap:
Lorelai calls Rory with details of her weird dream. In her dream, she takes Paul Anka for a walk. Not the dog Paul Anka, the real Paul Anka. Dog Paul Anka runs away to Doose’s, where the real Paul Anka has a job, and the dog Paul Anka was giving a 
concert in Luke’s apartment. Real Paul Anka was on Babette’s lap but notices dog Paul Anka staring at him from outside.
"Real Paul Anka walking toward Dog Paul Anka, Dog Paul Anka toward Real Paul Anka. You can sense that something very bad is about to happen, when, suddenly, they meet in the street and bam! An other-worldly white light engulfs the whole town and there’s a loud explosion, two barks, and everything goes dark!"
And then she woke up. Weirdness.
