Season 7, Episode 12

Gilmore Girls: Plodding plotting.

Okay. We all know where this show is going. I was just hoping we’d get there in a manner that was somewhat true to the characters I’ve loved for many years. But it isn’t happening. I’m dejected. I just want to watch the season finale now.

The hooey before the last fifteen minutes was rather pointless. All I’m concerned with is Luke, Christopher, and Lorelai, and which of the first two is going to look like less of a moron so we can believe Lorelai would actually want to be with them. But I’m thinking the best thing would be for her to pick neither, and go off solo to a foreign country (I keep saying that, in hopes that it comes true).

This show, it was Luke’s turn to look like a saint. He wins partial custody of April, in large part due to Lorelai’s character recommendation letter, which she hid from Christopher. Of course, Christopher discovers it and gets pissed. The letter wasn’t even that mushy, it was more along the lines of “Luke’s a great guy.” But of course Christopher overreacts (because the plot dictates it) and thinks Lorelai wrote something along the lines of: let’s have children together, and smear tater tots all over your coffee-brewing flannel shirt, backwards-baseball-cap manliness. Uh, no.

Then at the end of the episode, kind Richard, who’s never done anything bad towards the writers of the program, has a heart attack in front of Rory, in the middle of a lecture.

Sadly, the show is devolving into a state where the plot is dictating how the characters behave. And to think this show began as one where the women spoke their minds and nobody could get them to stop talking.

I’m not angry or annoyed, just sad. Luckilly there’s only a few more episodes until hopefully the last show of Gilmore Girls, ever.
