The Gilmore magic just wasn't there anymore.

Thoughts On The Seventh Season Of "Gilmore Girls"
hitfix.com

I, like many other "Gilmore Girls" fans have my opinion on the seventh season. It was the only season with different writers other than Amy Sherman-Palladino and her director husband Dan Palladino. While there are some similarities between the seventh season and the previous seasons, it just wasn't the same. Even before I knew about the change up with the creative team, I still wasn't a fan.

There are a lot of things that I don't like and that I still get mad about almost 10 years after the series wrapped up. I know that Luke and Lorelai's fight happened at the end of season six, with Palladino still at the reins, but did they really have to break up? After all the years building up to their relationship! Nothing makes me more angry than that.

Except that Lorelai went back to Chris. They don't belong together. They never did. Yes, they had a kid together -- and a wonderful kid at that. But it was proven time and time again through previous seasons that they wouldn't work together. Then, they ended up married which just killed the hopeless romantic in me. I know you would think it would be the other way around. It should have always been Luke and Lorelai.

And going back to Luke and Lorelai, something that has bothered me is Luke's daughter April. And, yes again, it was something that Palladino added into the mix in the sixth season, but I'm pretty sure not a single fan of the show was a fan of April. Maybe at first, to show that Luke had a past like Lorelai did. But when it started coming between them, that was taking it too far, or at least it was for me.

Rory and Logan were a great match. I loved them together. I really did. I think I will always wonder what could have been with her and Jess. But Rory and Logan fought for each other and stood by each other even when it was difficult, and that's what love is, isn't it? I like that the new writers continued their relationship as long as they did, but did they really have to end it when Logan proposed? I feel like they would have been great married. They had already withstood the test of time, him being stupid, and a hell of a lot of distance. Why not throw marriage into the mix?

And, then the ending, Luke and Lorelai kissing, I was literally yelling at my television when I watched it. I think it was worse than the cliff they left us on at the end of season five when Lorelai proposed to Luke. At least then, we got closure and an answer. The fans were literally just left there wondering what in the world happened. Or what would come of the kiss.

But, it wasn't just these plot changes that make the seventh season hard to watch, there is just a different vibe about the show. Something just always felt off. The Gilmore magic just wasn't there anymore. But, thankfully, in just a matter of months -- or 63 days, but, who's counting; "Gilmore Girls" will be returning with four 90- minute episodes on Netflix. All the original characters and writers are back, except Edward Herrmann, may he rest in peace. Fans will finally get the answers they have wanted for almost a decade now. And, it isn't just the fans that get the closure they want, but Palladino finally gets the chance to end the show and the character's story lines they way that she wanted to from the beginning, and she's not giving any information about it away.

So, for all the "Gilmore Girls" fans out there, November 25, 2016, mark your calendars, we finally get our answers!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
