But something was missing... no matter how brilliant Liza Weil is.
Like hello, B-plots are you out there? I'll believe the new showrunner has redeemed True Gilmore if Rory regains a backbone, if Sookie is more than a symphatetic prop babbling about spiders, and well a host of other things like frogs falling from the sky and Kirk becoming funny again, driving a car into a diner does him no justice and frankly Taylor knows better! Besides i have no choice. It's the last season, unless we hear rumors otherwise so really i'm obligated to see this thing die.
I mean did you believe Lorelai when she was saying to Sookie: it hurts, it just hurt too much... I didn't. Lauren doesn't believe it. Luke couldn't even muster energy to yell at Taylor properly... everything just seems a tad off kilter. And Rory's letting Lorelai not talk about it and be so consumed with her own affair seemed wrong somehow... it's like when Lorelai mumbled, well you got to not talk about your thing so i get to not talk about my thing...will only work if the writers get their act together and continue to apologize for the last 2 seasons. Example: Let's just return to the way we were and try to play raquetball and surprise they're bad at it- how about subverting expectation and make them good at something. it's a tired joke. not to mention also that her fridge wouldve been STOCKED due to Luke's constant presence... there's no way she wouldn't have had ice. Are they even trying? And yes i guess i'm ultimately resentful of the Sherman-Pallindino doing such a spiteful thing- betraying the show like that- and Lorelai's dismissal of Christopher as a fucked up booty call seems to echo the sentiment- like why, why, why... ugh. gross. and that rocket thing was not sweet! it just reinforces the fact that they don't belong together- she still can't be honest about "not getting it"... and he's just trying to be cheerily optimistic. gah. (tickets for winter... who is he kidding! they're not freshman in college!)
well anyway i want to believe that the truth is out there, i really do. And hopefully the actors will remember what sort of show they're in and have a belief that the writers will adhere to some sort of rule of reality meets plausability meets hope for the future and not continue to ruin it for everyone. But truly that intro to next week leaves me with little inspiration.

poor gilmore girls. :(
I like what this commentor had to say on tvsquad.com: "I'm going to reserve judgment for a few episodes and see how Dave "rights" the boat. Amy and Dan set up this wreck and Lord knows how they intended to fix it." I agree that ASP did some intentional havoc on her way out. Rosenthal may do it justice yet.
1. Rory's boyfriends have all been unwatchable.
2. The Luke/Lorelai love affair was fine, though it had some forced drama. Remember the worst episode ever, when they all went to Logan's dad's cabin and Luke was a very unLuke-like baby the whole time. Boring AND depressing.
3. Everyone HATES Logan. When he calls her ACE I want to puke. That show needs less Logan and more Paris, more Lane's band, more Lane's mom, more Suki, more SALLY STRUTHERS.
I'm continually on the fence about Logan. Strangely, years after the fact, I love Jess. But Sally Struthers, Mrs. Kim and Paris, now, we can ALWAYS use more of them.
Also, I refuse to acknowledge that Lane and Zack are actually married.
yah seriously! that's another unmentionable not unlike april... where was mrs.kim! now those were the good ole days... i'm on the fence about logan too, but mainly bcs they really aren't right for each other. and jess is too busy being a 'hero' right now so that's out. how about a real solid relationship without ambiguity? (right.)but look i'll hold out hope- i really will!
jess can fly now... or is it his brother??
dun dun DUN!
