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.
This was what I’d call a “stop-gap” episode — a few arrows pointing in different directions but no major movement. After a spur-of-the-moment Paris wedding, Christopher is moving into Lorelai’s house and already fantasizing about rearranging the furniture and getting a flat-panel television. It’s clear that Lorelai will have some adjusting to do.
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.
