I’ve always wanted Luke and Lorelai together. Some of her past boyfriends have been entertaining, while others were utter duds. I’m fine with her having a love interest who isn’t Luke. But I am horribly irritated with their friendship going down the drain. He was the friend she turned to when everything else in her life was going poorly. He was always more than the guy who poured her coffee in the diner. Now it will be impossible for them to go back to the Luke and Lorelai they were before they became Luke and Lorelai the couple. Either they will work things out and get back together ,or they’re screwed. Luke’s harsh words to Lorelai on the street emphasized this, but they also worked to make him come off as an asshole. I guess it happens when you’re heartbroken and angry.
Poor Lane. She must have had some very terrible first sex if she is ready to swear it off forever after one experience. Top off horrible sex with getting sick on your honeymoon, you can’t really imagine anything worse happening to Lane. Except being pregnant, which gets thrown on her as well. Gilmore Girls is a show that typically tries to teach a lesson without really doing any teaching. It will be interesting to see how everything works with Lane’s pregnancy.
Overall, it seems as though Gilmore Girls is back on track. The first few minutes were some of the better moments in the past few seasons. The timing isn’t quite as it was in the beginning, but the witty banter is on the rise. Pop culture references, lots of food, and the girls getting along all suggest Gilmore Girls is going back to its roots and what works. The only elements missing from this episode were Richard and Emily.

"If the audiences want two characters to get together and you do write them into a relationship, you make sure it is a happy relationship that lasts.When the two break up it will piss off such a large portion of the audience it runs the risk of destroying the ratings."
No truer words were ever spoken. Would you please send this paragraph, or the whole review as I agree with the rest as well, to the writers? Someone needs to let them know. I miss my Gilmore Girls of old, and it's just not good storytelling anymore.

Annie, hopefully the new writers will understand what all the fans know. If not, then I say we all bombard the writers and producers with our knowledge.

I agree, and I also have to worry about what kind of pseudo-love triangle they have in the works for Lorelai, Luke, and Christopher. I understand completely with the Girls wanting to end the show soon but with dignity (lest they be typecast as the Girls forever), but bringing Christopher into the mix I don't think in the right solution.
I, too, am anxious how the Lane thing will work out. I absolutely adore her character and the actress, although neither have been fully utilized in my opinion.
It's on the upswing again, yes...but thank God we still have Richard and Emily to fall back on even if that week's particular show is subpar.

I'm already tired of having most reviewers and most "fans" nitpick at the new season of Gilmore Girls. It reminds me of schoolkids who keep saying "My old teacher never did it that way!". Why ruin simply enjoying each episode by picking it apart? Give the "new guy" a chance, everyone! I do love the show but it is just a tv show, after all.

Carolyn-
I think you've mistaken what everyone is saying. I think all the comments and the article have basically said the "new guy" is doing better already this season than the last two seasons were. No one was picking on the new writers. The complaints made were things written into the show before the writers changed.

That's great, but the title of the episode is Whoopee not Whoopi.

I agree that this season has gotten to a rocky start. I mean, can you really imagine Lane having a baby? While I'm on this subject, what happened to Ms. Kim? Anyways, I think the split between Lorelai and Rory was not bad, and you cannot seriously think that a mom and daughter are never going to get in a fight. I like this split between Lorelai and Luke because it helps Luke realize that he was just pushing Lorelai away. I can't help to think that Lorelai really does want to be with Christopher because she always turns to him when things don't go well with her boyfriends; for example, she calls him on the eve of her wedding with Max and visits him when she breaks things off with Luke. Whatever happens, I'll be tuned. However, I seriously do not agree with Lane getting pregnant. She should enjoy her marriage, and things are already looking bad for her and Zach.

I like the new writing. It is much more upbeat than last season. I could hardly stomach the first half of last season. However, I am very disappointed that Lorelai went through with the whole Christopher thing. She's supposed to be with Luke. It is so unfair to make us want them to be together so bad for so long, and now they are torn apart! It's so wrong!

i think that while Rory is gone she should run into Logan and they get back together and get married and of course Lorelia and Luke should get married and maybe have another kid!!!!!!!!! I think they should keep making seasons at least a eight one bc it didnt end rite but i really think that Logan and Rory need to get back together!!!!!!!
