Coffee With a Shot of Cynicism

It's the season finale! You can't tell from how we're ranting, but we actually like this show! Is Lorelai the victim? Because she's sure acting like it! Rory desperately needs some comfort, but no one will give it to her. Lane is still an afterthought. And Luke might be the most intimacy-challenged man we've ever come across.

There's a lot to cover! Lorelai has a pregnancy scare, Rory receives some criticism, Luke tries to buy a house, Kirk has a ton of money, Sookie's having a baby and Jackson's getting snipped. Plus, we're discussing fanfiction and the wonder that is Archive of Our Own and how the world ends when the site goes down.

There's so much going on in this episode our heads are spinning. Rory is almost unrecognizable. Lorelai is being jealous and petty. Emily and Richard are treating their daughter horribly.

Logan is finally ready for commitment, but his family tries to derail his relationship before it's even left the ground. Paris brings in reinforcements when Doyle is sick and Lorelai needs Luke to pick up the slack at the inn. Is this the beginning of the end for Lorelai and Rory's perfect relationship?

Could this possibly be the worst episode of the season? We seem to think so. There are filler episodes, and then there's whatever the hell this was. The Stars Hollow Historial Society make one of the worst museums in human history and Rory, Lane and Paris are all having boy trouble.

Lorelai isn't just gonna show up to Friday Night Dinner because she and Luke got back together, Emily! You're still the reason they broke up. Rory's not just gonna leave the party with you because you're jealous, Logan! If you didn't want her going with Robert, you should have asked her yourself! And Kirk! Where are your bottoms?

There's so much going on in this episode it's kinda hard to keep track. Lorelai and Rory are having a belated and unnecessary sex talk. Emily refuses to take accountability for her actions. Luke is grumpy as hell. Lane is not having sex until he puts a ring on it. Luke and Lorelai get back together. Did we get everything?

Lorelai is dealing with the aftermath of her and Luke's breakup the best she can, but we all know she's missing him. He's obviously missing her, too, but he's too stubborn to say so. Not even Fiddler on the Roof can bring these two together. And Rory and Marty's friendship is put to the test when Logan and his idiot friends can't play nice.

Following the disastrous wedding, Luke and Lorelai are on the rocks. All Luke wants is a little time. But Lorelai has never been a patient person. What does it mean to "hang out"? Is it casual? Are other people involved? Logan and Rory set the record straight.

Gilmore Girls is celebrating its 100th (episode) birthday and it's jam-packed with wit, sarcasm and drama. It's everything good television is all about. We're also talking about television greatness and mediocrity.
