Gilmore Girls Season 7

I love the television show, Gilmore Girls but I was not happy with the way season 7 went. First of all, they focused a lot on Lane and Zach and the baby they are expecting. They were a main focus in most of season 7's episodes; they were usually just interesting filler for the show. The part that was upsetting was not the fact that they were given so much attention, but that when it came time for Lane to have the twins, they didn't have an episode or even 10 minutes dedicated to it. We get to see Zach taking a phone call at Luke's diner and we are given the impression that Lane is in labor. In the next episode, Rory goes to the diner and tells Zach that she is surprised at how big the twins are getting. They focus on Lane and Zach for most of the season and then don't even make it worth the while. But we can see Mia's wedding. Mia is the woman that owned the Independence Inn, where Lorelai first worked. She is the woman who took Lorelai and Rory in. We haven't seen her in a very long time, yet the writers feel the need to dedicate an entire episode to her wedding, but not Lane's delivery?!


Even more upsetting is how rushed the season was. We're really supposed to believe that Lorelai and Christopher got together again, and they got married, and they got divorced and she had time to reconcile with Luke and they had time to fall in love again? It's just ridiculous. I think it was a big mistake for Lorelai and Christopher to get married, I think the could have gotten engaged, but I think the marriage was just a dumb idea. The only way the marriage between them would have seemed like a good idea, was if the show were going to be picked up for an 8th season. With an 8th season they would have had more time to do things like that. I think it would have been way more romantic and less of a time stretch if they had Lorelai and Christopher become engaged. Lorelai and Luke are still awkward around eachother so she decides not to tell Luke that she and Christopher are engaged. Christopher realizes how important it is to Lorelai to have their wedding in Stars Hallow so, they spend a lot of time there planning the wedding. From the diner, Luke can see them in the town square with an unknown person, and they are measuring the gazebo, and some other areas in the square. Luke asks Mrs. Patty what is happening, and she says with a snarky tone, "They are planning an outdoor wedding. Christopher said my studio was too tiny, but they'll keep it in mind if it rains. Like I'm some kind of understudy for their wedding (and then her dialogue would trail off and she'd be talking about how in all of her years in theater, she was never an understudy). Meanwhile, the camera is focusing on Luke and Mrs. Patty's dialogue is fading and Luke is shocked that Lorelai is engaged. Christopher has plans to move to S.H. with Lorelai and needs to finish some business at work, and leaves to do so the next day. That day Lorelai is going to Hartford to a dress shop, to look at a wedding gown. Luke is also on his way out of S.H. they are stopped at the same light. Luke goes through the intersection first and Lorelai is following behind him, but her Jeep runs out of gas, Christopher never filled up the tank. Luke notices that she ran out of gas and turned around to go back for her. While in his truck he congradulates her. And she looks surprised. "Ya know, on the engagement to Christopher." She smiles a smile that is half "thanks" and half " regret saying yes to his proposal". Nervously she begins talking about the wedding plans to break the awkward silence. He immediately stops the truck and pulls over to the side of the road, and says in a very 'Luke' way, "Damn it! I love you! You know I love you, I never stopped loving you and I know you love me! I don't want to congradulate you on your engagement to him. I want to be engaged to you!" She doesn't say anything but she looks at him lovingly and gets out of the truck and says sorry. Then she tells Christopher that she can't marry him and that she still has feelings for Luke. She loves Christopher and wants him to be happy and it wouldn't be fair to marry him when she doesn't love him fully. He understands and moves to Hartford to stay close to Rory, and the rest of his family, but he tells Lorelai that he'll always love her. A coupld days later she is waiting for Luke in his apartment and when he comes in, she says that she doesn't want to jump to engagement, but she wants to know that it's there and she needs to know that once they're engaged, they won't wait forever to get married. Luke tells her it won't be long.

Meanwhile, Lane and Zach are going through the pregnancy. When Zach gets the call that Lane is in labor, Luke drives him, on the way, they pass Lorelai and Rory and yell out the window that Lane is in Labor, they run home and jump in the Jeep and follow them to the hospital. The next episode would be about the labor and Luke and Lorelai being together. They are named Godparents of the twins.
