I don't run in GG fandom, so I don't know what the general/accepted views are. But I actually agree on Rory and Logan. I don't know why that would unpopular. First of all, they're both so spoiled and selfish that they deserve each other. Why inflict either one on another unsuspecting Paul or Odette?
And assuming they lasted more than a few months, they very well may have pushed each other to grow up. Or killed one another. Either way, I'd be satisfied.
I accidentally spoiled myself on Ye Big Revelation at the end. My eyes fell on some article as I was wandering around the intertubes. Doesn't anyone do spoiler warnings anymore?! I don't know what my reaction would have been had it just hit me cold.
Part of me hates that I will never know my "pure" reaction. But in a way I'm glad I was prepared. I probably would've screamed when the screen just went black. Last time I did here was on XF years ago. I screamed so loudly my father came running down the stairs to see who was killing me. True story, LOL! Yeah, I get a bit involved in my TV watching.
Ugh! Why DO that on a mini revival and leave things hanging? I suppose it's to leave it open for future reunions or whatever. But they could've done that any number of ways. A bombshell cliffhanger like that is just cruel. I'm glad I am a recent fan and not one who had watched for years and been all invested in it.
it looked like they were heading in the Logan = Christopher and Jess = Luke direction.
Oh, I didn't catch that! It was so late when I finished. I suppose it's a bit lazy and predictable. But it's also realistic. People so often repeat family patterns. They end up doing exactly what their parents did, even after swearing up and down their entire lives, "I'll never do THAT! I'll never be like THEM!" Almost against your will and even when you're consciously, actively working against it, you suddenly find yourself thinking, saying and doing things that imitate your parents. It's startling and disturbing.
If I wasn't a Christian, I'd be tempted to start giving credence to the idea of fate.
That's all for now -- except that Emily was awesome and Lorelai's story about Richard was awesome and oh, Richard, how I miss you. :-( I'm glad they honored you so well.
I felt so sorry for her here! But I was so glad when she told off those stuck up old bats. Ugh, but I hated them. Can we get an Emily Gilmore On Her Own spinoff? Tho', I do miss her with Richard. Those two actors raised the quality of the show. I haven't seen any interviews, but I think everyone else on the show sensed that as well. These characters could've been such awful, unwatchable caricatures. They made them real people. Heartbreakingly so!
Edward Herrmann must've been really loved? He was ALL over these eps.

Even without the wall sized portrait.
