Lauren Graham Reflects on Gilmore Girls
Good times
The Time magazine website (which for me has been a legitimate news source ever since they put Taylor Swift on the cover – what took you so long?) has an interview with Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore), looking forward to the imminent last episode of Parenthood on January 29 and reflecting back on Gilmore Girls.
A good chunk of the interview is about Gilmore Girls and all of that is satisfyingly positive.
This bodes well for the ATX reunion in June as well as upbeat commentaries on the 10-year anniversary Blu-Ray boxed set. The boxed set is a recurring dream of mine. It tap-dances on my shelf, magically launches discs through the air into the player and dazzles me with new content and a secret hidden season eight.
Some choice tidbits from the article:
TIME Do you look back on Gilmore Girls as something that defined you as an actress? Lauren Graham Yeah and happily so. I didn’t realize then how perfect a fit that was for me in terms of material and sensibility. As much as I have loved this job and this character [on Parenthood], I feel like Gilmore Girls was just a special match. It’s hard to find a writer with that specific of a voice. I’m super thankful to have had it.
TIME How much are you like Lorelei as a person? (sic) Lauren No one talks that much or that long, but it’s that thing where you read something and it just clicks. It’s like music. I could hear what Amy intended and it made complete sense to me. I remember an interview with Christopher Reeve where he said, “I choose my jobs based on the feeling that I can’t stand the thought of anyone else doing it.” And that’s how I felt with that. It’s a rare chemistry.
They also ask her which boyfriend Rory should have ended up with – and she gives an answer! (of sorts).

Will anyone give me odds on a 10-year anniversary boxed set with commentaries on selected episodes, interviews with the cast today, a retrospective on our dear departed Edward Herrmann and suchlike?
Is anyone planning to see Lauren and the gang at the ATX Festival?
What are you hoping to see from the end of Parenthood?
