Are Lorelai and Logan two sides of the same coin? We’ve been saying it for years and we’re finally ready to dive in. Logan Huntzberger is often compared to Christopher Hayden, but have we stopped to consider how Logan Huntzberger is the product of who Lorelai could have been had she taken the path her parents wanted her to?

You called, we answered. We’ve been deep in the trenches for our Gilmore Girls Summer!!! Eating strawberry shortcake, drinking lemonade, even rollerskating!

Last week we talked about how the girlies spent their summers on the show, but how could the Gilmore girls have spent their summer if things had been left a little differently?
