Tonight is the return of Gilmore Girls, in its 7th season premiering tonight we catch up with Lorelei and Rory Gilmore. Last season we saw Lorelei propose to Luke (he accepted) and Rory and Logan got back together. Luke found out that he has a daughter, a small little tidbit that he hid from Lorelei for three months (!!!). I TiVo’d the season finale last week and watched it again just to refresh myself…….see, Gilmore Girls is my all-time favorite show, EVER! I always greet the credits with a smile, not because the show has ended, but because I’m content…it’s a perfect show and it always leaves me with a smile on my face and reminds me that if even for just one hour a week, I can feel like all is right with the world….ahhhhhh wax poetic over with on to the recap!
If you recall the final episode, Lorelei gave Luke an ultimatum, to which he replied that he couldn’t make that decision and he needed time and Lorelei just gave up and ran to Chris (Rory’s father). Rory gave Logan an awesome going away bash for his upcoming trip to Britain, where he will be working for his father for a year. The final scenes were Lorelei in Chris’ bed, where Gigi (Chris’ daughter) walked in and asked “Who’s that!? Is she sick? I don’t like to wear clothes when I’m sick either.” Chris quickly told her it was Aunt Lorelei and had the nanny take Gigi to school. Rory woke up late as Logan was telling her goodbye. We left with Rory standing in the doorway of the apartment watching the elevator doors close in front of Logan, off to visit the other side of the pond. And Chris climbed back into bed with Lorelei and put his arm around her.
What’s in store for this season? From the previews; we see that Lorelei and Luke finalize their breakup, I’m not sure where Rory is heading…I’m thinking we’re going to be focused on Lorelei for a while. The writers have a great chance here to keep the show alive by switching gears from Lorelei taking care of Rory to Rory taking care of Lorelei in her phase of relationship woes. We’ll have to wait and see where they take these loveable characters, but if you’ve been reading the news you might know that Amy Sherman Palladino and her husband, Daniel both left the show. Amy was the showrunner for Gilmore Girls and has been reported as going over each script to make sure that they were crafted just as she had in her mind. It was even reported that she modeled the character Lorelei after herself….so where does that leave the show when the brainchild of the whole thing is no longer active with it? There is a full report over at Play.Adn if you want to check it out;http://www.adn.com/play/columns/tv/story/8220848p-8117621c.html
But, have no fear….we’ll have a great 7th season to enjoy, I’m sure! And always keep in mind; all good things must come to an end and with Rory in college and about to graduate, where could The Girls go next? Stars Hollow can’t keep those quick-witted, smart, sassy, pop-culture-lovin’ girls for long.
But let’s enjoy the time we’re given before The Girls grow up and move on.Also, if you just cannot wait for tonight, here is the Ausiello Report on The Girls…he really liked the premiere, as have almost everyone else that I’ve read who have seen it! It’s sure to be a great night of TV tonight!
