I enjoyed this episode more than ones past, probably because things are settling back into the quirky Stars Hollow as the focus. This time there’s a “Knitathon” and all the denizens are busily practicing for it, to the occasional annoyance of Luke. But that’s not to say I’m buying this whole Christopher and Lorelai thing, and I’m seeing some signs that it’s all going to go to heck a few shows from now just to put some drama into the final (and hopefully last) episodes.

Paris does strange things to people, and I wish I were talking about Paris Geller. No, Lorelai and Christopher went to Paris. Of course, it was utterly romantic: they overslept, missed their dinner reservations, and wandered the streets aimlessly looking for a cheeseburger, and ended up…

Now in its seventh season, Gilmore Girls may be losing its spark (and jumping the shark). Will Paul Anka bark?

I put off seeing the Borat movie for the latest Gilmore Girls, which may have been a mistake. The show is still passable and gets a few smiles from me, but is going in a direction I’m not too keen on. Stars Hollow is starting to feel - hollow.

I’m writing this post more out of duty, and don’t have too much to say, because I felt this episode was basically filler. We got a little bit of doubt instilled in both Rory and Lorelai’s relationships, but nothing major. Rory finds out Logan has a beautiful co-worker, instilling a bit of jealousy. Lorelai and Christopher have a disagreement about Christopher’s daughter GiGi. It’s all a set-up for a trip to Paris in a future episode (spoiler ahead). Now if we could get Paris Gellar in Paris, that would have possibilities.

The fourth episode of the season had a welcome dash of romance as Lorelai reacquaints herself with the thought of her and Christopher as a couple. For all his faults, it seems like this time Chris is serious about getting back together. He comes up with a truly romantic idea of a personal drive-in movie, projecting Funny Face (Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn) on the side of a barn, complete with movie snacks for them to munch on.

Hmm, this week’s episode of Gilmore Girls was pretty lukewarm (or should I say luke-cold). Lorelai’s parents Richard and Emily make an appearance (first time this season) and it’s the same-old same-old with them, lost in their high-brow world, planning a cotillion for a young girl named Charlotte.

Episode 2 of the seventh season, That’s What You Get, Folks, For Makin’ Whoopee, was pretty good, although the new production staff seems to be still finding their footing in the absence of the Palladinos. The episode opens with Luke’s typical angry reaction to bad news, driving over to Christopher’s apartment and punching him in the face for sleeping with Lorelai.

I have a few guilty pleasures, and one is Gilmore Girls, the television equivalent of a funny chick flick, populated with quirky characters, whip-smart pop culture references, and a keen soundtrack.

At this point there are only two television programs I watch with any regularity, Battlestar Galactica and Gilmore Girls. The former is entering its third season, and the season finale was so insane and story-altering that I must have watched it three times before I really could get a handle on what happened. So it’s been a long summer waiting, and now Sci-Fi Channel is posting “webisodes” online to get me prepped for the next season.
