Gilmore Girls: Une nouvelle année

I don't know why everyone is complaining so much. This was a GREAT revival and aside from a few scenes that I really could have gone without sitting through, I am super pleased with what they did. I decided long ago, after spending way too many months hating the ending of Buffy, to just enjoy what my favorite writers decide to do with THEIR characters. I'm not saying you have to love it, but when you spend years investing in your favorite towns, characters, and stories, what is the point of being angry with how it ends? Calm down people...Were there dumb scenes? Yes, Were some of the plot lines senseless? Yes. Did a few of the scenes feel forced? Yes. But overall they captured the essence of the characters and their lives in Stars Hollow and I will continue loving GG and hoping for another season!

Yep, the only reason I watch this booooring revival, because I wanted to see Jess one last time and what he's become. Let me tel you, he did not disappoint, love his character, the only character whose evolution worth following!

Gilmore girls is my all-time favorite show. Quirky, smart, and expertly cast, the original series left us wanting for nothing. This is why I was so hoping that the revival would carry on the original spirit of this modern classic. I was wrong. I didn't want to get my hopes up, because revivals are hardly ever as good as the original, so I came in expecting very little, but at least hoping that it would keep up the original spark of the show. Instead, we got 6 hours of disjointed banter, none of which succeeded in matching the original level of cleverness. Many of the characters, such as Jason, Dean, and Doyle, seemed to have been shoehorned into the script just to check a box. Their interaction with the main characters seemed forced and very scripted, not at all in keeping with the Gilmore banter we have all come to know and love. It seemed as though the writers were so set on having the story come full circle that they forgot that this show is less about that and more about the comedy. We watch Gilmore girls, partly to watch a refreshing, albeit unnatural, mother daughter relationship, but more than that, we watch it to laugh. And the writers seemed to have forgotten that that was what we loved most. More than anything, I was hoping for a better ending to the show than I got in season 7 of the original. I'm not sure I got it. I'm not really sure what I got. All I can say is that I'm left scratching my head. It wasn't good, but it wasn't really bad either. The bottom line is it wasn't Gilmore girls.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think a fair amount of GG fans would agree with me: what we wanted in a reunion series was more of the first 5 seasons, not more of the last 2. It's been 10 years and somehow everyone is only just now finding themselves? Luke and Lorelai have NEVER talked about whether to have kids and only now want to get married? Rory is ambling around befuddled about who to sleep with and where to live? Actually bring some closure to the story and give fans some satisfaction in watching their favorite characters find fulfillment and happiness. What's the point of doing a reunion series if they're all just as aimless as they were in season 7 and the show ends on some open-ended cliffhanger that leaves us all throwing our hands up all over again. The writing and acting tries too hard and falls very flat. You don't gain anything from this series and in fact lose a lot of the magic and sense of hope you were left with in 2007.

Why was there so much singing? Why was Rory kind of a bad person? Why couldn't Luke and Loralai have figured it out by now? Why wasn't this show true to the original series at all? These were all the thoughts that ran through my head while watching this show
