Gilmore Girls

Guess I'll just give my thoughts on the first two episodes in one post.

I thought last season ended on a very bad note. I didn't like the way they shattered Rory's dream and I didn't believe that would be Rory's reaction. Things have always stood in her way and she always fights her way through it. Nothing was ever going to stop her and now just because some guy who thinks he knows everything about the newspaper industry tells her she doesn't have what it takes she throws everything away. No, that's not her character. I could see her maybe going a little crazy and stealing the boat but it's the leaving Yale thing that just went to far. And come on he decides she doesn't have what it takes based on her not being assertive in a meeting. At least make your judgement on her ability to get a story which would actually have baring on if she would be a good journalist or not.

And I don't know exactly what she said to her grandparents but I don't believe they would give into her leaving school either. Lorelai was the only one who seemed to be true to what they have created over the last few years.

Then the season starts and nothing has gotten better. Yes it picked up right where it left off and Luke saying yes and all that followed was spot on perfect for them but other than that it's just not looking that great. Nothing seems to be indicating that Rory is going to come to her sinces and go back to school. I thought they had learned their lesson a couple years ago that if Rory and Loreli are apart to much the show doesn't work. At least they did give Rory a decent punishment. Although I don't see her being the slacker type at all so again not believable and hopefully that changes soon. At least they did seem to be indicating that Rory was already getting bored with not having anything to do in the second episode.

Loved Paris's reaction to Rory not coming back to school. It's a goot thing they didn't screw up her character. Even better was when she went to Lorelai trying to convince her they had to team up and get Rory back to Yale. Paris is so right what will she do without her main competetion.

The second episode was a little better. At least we finally got a scene between Lorelai and Rory. And while it wasn't as heartbreaking as some of their fight scenes have been it was still good and Lauren sealed the deal at the end when she was trying not to cry on the way back to the car. Luke was right in telling Rory about the engagement even if he shouldn't have done it, he was right to. He shouldn't be in the middle. It is the one area where the slipped a little with Lorelai because no matter how mad she is at Rory I really don't feel she would keep that information from her.

If the episodes can continue to get better as they did between the first two episodes there is hope for the season.

Although there is one episode in November that I am not looking forward to. That would be the rumored episode with another appearance by Jess. He isn't a good character or actor and they need to stop dragging all this crap back up. I don't care if he is related to Luke and now his mom lives in town there's no need for it.
