Gilmore Girls: Facing the future
April 17, 2007 at 11:06 p.m.
Finally back from a break that seemed to last forever, Gilmore had a lot of viewer expectations to live up to. In a season that has at best been mediocre and at worst been downright annoying, I can admit that this episode was much better. When I heard Logan was going to Star's Hollow I was prepared for the worst. I figured he would whine and act like the petulant child he so often is, but I was pleasantly surprised by his behavior. Loralei is a scary chick to go up against and I was impressed by, not only the way he carried himself, but also that, for once, he was able to admit his error. You could tell Loralei really appreciated that too.
I never can decide about Logan. One day he's cute, charming and going places and the next he's darting off to Vegas with those ridiculous friends of his, Colin and Finn. He's just never seemed all the way right for Rory to me. Maybe it's just remnants of my high school crush on him, but I admit to always having been rather partial to Jess. I did always hold out some hope that he would come back into Rory's life, but with Milo Ventimiglia's success on Heroes that possibility seems ever waning.
And man, that was an emotional moment there between Loralei and Luke at the very end of the show wasn't it? Loralei seemed to really hit the nail on the head when she said she didn't know why she'd never said her night with Christopher was wrong. She was just so angry with Luke at the time that I think her pride got in the way. But now that Luke is back to being his smiling self, maybe they can get back together. He was being a real punk for a while there.
The question on the mind of all the Gilmore fans out there, however, continues to be "Will this be the last season?" I sure wish I knew! I read in Entertainment Weekly that it's pretty much a given that if Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham sign new contracts, then the show will stay on the air; if they don't, it won't. Scott Paterson (Luke) is also up for a contract renewal, and apparently he's looking for a big raise. It's not looking good guys; it's not looking good. If any new news on this is released I'll be talking about it right here, so check back often! Do you want the show to return or should they quit while they are struggling? Can they get it back together? What would you do differently on the show?
