They had to change venues twice to accommodate the very large number of people.
Am I surprised to read about it?
No, in the sense that theyve been talking about it for a long time.
This time around, is it more concrete?
It sounds like it.
Is this something that you think the show needs, to address unresolved story lines?
Can you elaborate on that?
What else is Michel up to?
Those questions are always interesting because you dont live with that person anymore.
But after Texas, I was really kind of thinking where it would be interesting to see him today.
Exactly, you’ve got the option to see a sensitive side to him.
Its a love and hate relationship like family.
Whatever shes doing, he manipulated her and found a way to be part of it.
I think it would be something similar.
What do you expect from the revival more broadly, or what are you hoping for?
She was doing that.
Is it going to happen?
Im thinking of shows likeBreaking BadorSix Feet Under.
What was it about the ending, specifically, that you didnt find satisfying?
It kind of just ended.
It went like a normal episode.
It wasnt like a finale.
I would love to have a finale, one day.
Why is there still such a devoted fan base?
That mother-daughter relationship is so modern and has such an idealistic view, but its not perfect.
It brought mothers and daughters together, and hopefully fathers and sons.
I think that that is something very, very powerful.
Its really a show about family within a family.
The town is a family and Lorelai and [Rory].
Oh my god, I would be crazy to not want to be part of it.
