Gilmore Girls: Looks Like This Is The End - No Season 8
May 3rd, 2007
Ah well. Here’s the first news article I’ve seen breaking the news, so it’s my duty to pass it on: Goodbye to “Gilmore Girls” on May 15.
Quote:
Sources said that an offer had been put on the table for the show’s two stars — Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel — to continue the series, but an agreement could not be reached.
Kind of a bummer, as I’ve been enjoying the last few episodes, but I think it is time to put the series behind us. There are still two more episodes in the weeks to come which I’ll definitely be on top of, now that it’s clear they are the final ones.
Another oddity is the blog poll I have running right now. It shows that at least for anybody who has happened upon this hapless website, the overwhelming majority thinks there should be a season 8. Right now it’s looking like 146 votes for, 17 no, 15 I don’t care, and 6 for a spin off called “Luke” (?).
Oh well, too bad I don’t have any influence on the CW network. But since it’s clear this is the last season, I’ll do my best to come up with some Gilmore Girls related posts for the final push over the next two weeks.
The more I think about it, this is an appropriate place to end the series with Rory graduating from college and Lorelai about to make a decision whether to link up with Luke again. Still, it’s kinda sad, for sure.
