Gilmore Girls

Saturday night I watched endless hours of Gilmore Girls episodes- I know, be jealous of my Saturday night. Anyway, I've see these episodes a million times, but I can't get over the final episodes. I hate how things ended between Rory & Logan- they date 3 years, he asks her to marry him, she says no, then he just says "goodbye Rory" and walks away! WTF is that? I just really think with all the characters they could have had a better ending. Anyone else?

Re: Gilmore Girls

  • I actually thought it was pretty fitting. Logan didn't fit Rory at all and didn't understand her (if he did he never would have done a public proposal like that). I still imagine that she ended up back with Jess, who fit her intellectually best of all her boyfriends.

    I still like Dean the most, but I've always had a crush on him.

    I like Dean, but he wasn't Rory's intellectual match at all. Besides, he cheated on his wife then tried to pin it all on Rory, so I can't trust him at all. I assume that once someone cheats they will again.

  • I always felt the same way too! But I was torn between wanting her to end up with Jess or Logan. I never did like Dean.

    I agree about the public proposal. But in the moment I kept shouting, "just take a long engagement..it will be ok!" My DH thought I was crazy.

    I never watched GG when it was on TV, I watched it only about 2 years ago and went through all the seasons in about 4 months. I had definate GG withdrawl when it was over!



     
  • I love they way it ended. Rory was dangerously close to entering the life her mom ran from and it didn't suit her at all. I'm glad she took off alone and perused the life she wanted. I might have to rewatch now! I watched the whole series when ike was born.

  • Team Logan here- I LOVED them together. I think he helped her loosen up a little. I agree with a long engagement, that could have worked, it didn't have to be all or nothing. I wanted to see Luke & Lorelai together and happy, not just the kinda implied thing in the end. The end episodes were very rushed.
  • I feel like the last episode left a lot to the imagination. I wish they'd go back and make like a movie or something. I hate loose ends in shows. 

    Now I think I might need to pick up the series because I'm totally craving some Gilmore Girls

  • I hated the ending. It felt rushed/forced/not terribly realistic, but mostly, I hated that Lorelai couldn't get her sh*t together when it came to her love life and Rory's debacle with Logan suggested she was following in the same dysfunctional footsteps.

  • I didn't mind the ending. I wish the writers/producers had kept Paris edgier.  She got too soft and mushy.

    I think that Rory left to go on the campaign trail was a stroke of genius by the writers.  She was right to leave Logan to consider his future without her for now.  Nobody likes an ultimatum in place of a proposal.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am

    I don't believe the "once a cheater, always a cheater", but I must have missed a season or something cause I do not remember that whatsoever.  I did miss a lot of the series.  I do agree with you on Jesse being her intellectual match, but he was just so scrawny I couldn't stand it.  I'm basing my opinion on physical attraction only :).

    Yeah, Rory lost her virginity to Dean when he was already married. Then she ran off to Europe with her grandmother and sent him a letter, which his wife found. Then all over town Rory and Lorelei took the heat for "breaking up their marriage" as if she was the only problem. Because you know teen marriages always go well (not suggesting that they never go well, just that statistically they're more prone to problems) and he wouldn't have cheated if Rory hadn't tempted him because it's always just the other woman's fault.

  • I read an interview with Amy Sherman Pallodino where she said she knew how it would end and even knew what the final words spoken would be. I hope she spills because I want to know how she would have ended it.

  • The whole Lindsey & Dean marriage was dumb- that should have never happened. I do love that Lane married Zack and had Steve & Quan

      Loved Jess and Rory.  I miss Gilmore Girls - what great show.

  • I agree with you. It feels like they just gave up on their writing and that was it. I love those two together, but did always hope she ended up with Dean.
