Season 7, Episode 21

Gilmore Girls: We’re moving on out…

This is the second to last episode of Gilmore Girls “evar” and once again, some aspects I enjoyed while others not so much. I’m now afraid that the last episode of the season (and the series) isn’t going to satisfying enough, as it was filmed before the decision was made to cancel the show.

Logan asks Rory to marry him. I liked how it happened - a surprise proposal at her graduation party. Logan just got a job at a startup in Silicon Valley, and wants Rory to move to Palo Alto with him, saying a great place to live, even describing a cute house on University Avenue and San Francisco a straight shot up the 101 (all quite true). But… Rory turns him down. Suddenly, he says it’s “all or nothing” and just walks away. What? That seemed a bit sudden and too convenient, especially since nothing has been terribly wrong with their relationship so far, that would make him just cave just like that. So while I liked how he proposed, what happened afterwards was just sloppy - almost as if the writers wanted to get him out of the way.

What about Naked Guy, Hot Teaching Assistant In The Bookstore Guy, Jess the Bohemian Poet Guy, or Dean the Married Guy? Will any of the above appear in the season finale?

Meanwhile, on the Lorelai front, she’s hoping for some sign of a bike ride from Luke but isn’t getting any. Luke seems slightly interested, but is playing hard to get. The ball is in his court. I think he needs to turn that baseball cap forwards and start swinging.

What else was good? Rather cute that Paris and Rory are right next to each other in the graduation line - “Gellar,” “Gilmore.”

The sad part is that at every moment of the show, I couldn’t help but imagine that this might be the “last time.” This will be the last time Rory’s grandparents sing badly. The last time we hear that particular Sam Phillips instrumental music. The last time Rory turns out the lights in a room - I really liked that final shot - once again, heavily symbolic of the end fast approaching.

Ah well, all things must pass. One more episode to go!

Disclosure: The above reference to “Paris” could be Paris the city, Paris Gellar from Gilmore Girls, ParisLemon the blogger, or Paris Hilton. I have no financial relationship with any of them.
