This was one of the better episodes of the season, despite the rather sitcom-y road trip premise. Christopher is finally out of the picture, and the focus returns to the relationship between Lorelai, Rory, and Emily – the Gilmore Girls. Plus, the writing has regained footing, including: the return of random pop culture references!

Sounds like a formal announcement is coming soon, but the latest rumor is that Gilmore Girls may go forward with an abridged eighth season. Read the details and find a link to the original source Ask Ausiello, at Gilmore Girls News.

This is an unconfirmed rumor, but hey, what else are blogs partly good for but spreading such gossip. Anyhow, it looks like Season 8 of Gilmore Girls is a no-go, meaning the show is ending this May.

Hmm, are the writers on the show picking up on one of the major complaints regarding this season? At one point, Lorelai tells Rory to not worry about her informational interview with someone from the New York Times, because her rapid fire witty banter will win them over. Is the banter back? Can Paul Anka reverse-jump the shark?

I found this episode more enjoyable than past ones, since the inevitable has finally passed and we can move on to the unknown. Also, Rory seems to be headed towards a crossroads.

Right away, Lorelai tells Rory that she and Christopher have split up – check one interested party off the list. They go to dinner at Emily and Richard’s, where Richard is having a hard time adjusting to the new, post heart operation healthy diet – soup and salad. It seems both he and Emily are in denial regarding the possibility of his death.

Michel has a funeral for his pet ChinChin, which in a crass way is intended to make us feel sad, so we’ll be in a truly dour mood for Christopher and Lorelai’s inevitable break up during the last fifteen minutes.

The marriage-on-the-rocks is the only reason why I watched this episode. The whole point of my tolerating this program, now, is to get Lorelai loose from her albatross past (Christopher) so she can either get back with Mr. Flannel Backwards Baseball Cap Diner guy (Luke) – or choose to remain single. As I’ve mentioned many times before, I’d prefer the latter.

I write this post more out of duty than anything else, since my heart just isn’t in it. This episode (from over a week ago) took place primarily in a hospital waiting room, which is sad, but sadder still is the ham-handed way these quirky characters are led around by the plot, like puppy dogs on leashes.

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.

I’m still sticking with Gilmore Girls as it’s the last season, ever – meaning there are only a handful of episodes left. I might as well stick this one out as at the very least, the show finale should be decent. Luckily, that the Christmas episode that aired this week, Santa’s Secret Stuff, was funnier than ones in the recent past, although nothing earth-shattering occurred.

This episode held my interest, but the buildup lead to a big “huh?” which I don’t think the writers of the show intended. If you saw the program, you might know exactly what I was confused about. Anyhow, I’ve realized I’m only sticking with the show this season out of loyalty – it’s most likely the last season.
