Logan & Rory---Finally a Good Story

[Aqtania-1 · 8/10 · 23 April 2007]

This was one of the best episodes of the year. It was about time that Logan and Rory got some much needed screen time. The new producers and writers this year have done a terrible job with the storyline flows. The flows have been disjointed and don't follow each other smoothly. But finally we got a good episode that showcased Logan Huntzberger's natural goodness and intelligence. Logan is the most interesting and complex character on this show. He brings out the best in Rory and they have the best on-screen chemistry on television. Logan showed that he always has Rory's happiness at heart and he is perfect for her in every way. It was great to see Lorelei and Logan come to an understanding in the kitchen scene. One of the best scenes in the history of Gilmore Girls. Even Logan and Lorelei have chemistry. Logan has been totally underused this year. We get that the men on this show are secondary characters used to promote and showcase the women but the producers missed out on so many good story possibilities by using too much time on the Lorelei/Christopher debacle. What a waste! Amy Sherman-Palladino's wonderful creation (Logan) was used much better in the previous seasons. Having said that, it is obvious that they are setting up Logan and Rory for a season ending breakup. This is the most ridiculous and intelligence insulting storyline yet. So Rory is not talented enough to have a career and a husband? Hello, this is 2007 not 1957! Logan is the best thing to happen to this show. He has impacted all the major characters and is just a fascinating and intelligent person. He breathes new life into Rory and makes her a much more adult and interesting person. It will be beyond disgraceful if this once great show ends with Rory rejecting the love of her life. Talk about contrived story telling. And really, Logan Huntzberger deserves so much better. He has been falsely vilified by the insecure who automatically hate the rich. He has been used, like the other guys, as foils to prop up the independence of the Gilmore Girls. Fine, the show is about the "girls". But don't tell me that the only way Rory can be a success in life is to dump the man she has been expressing her love to for over two years now. It is so very obvious that Logan and Rory are deeply in love. It is beautiful to watch. Now the thought that the producers can wreck this beautiful love story so quickly and rudely is just absurd. If this happens then Rory Gilmore will not be a young woman to emulate. She will have been reduced to the role of a cold-hearted, selfish robot. This, along with the previous disjointed story lines will be a sad ending indeed to this season or series. Again, what a disjointed and insulting mess. One can only hope that an 8th season would be used to correct these horrors and get Rory back to acting like the loving and thoughtful person she should be.

Rory is contemplating which job to take and asks for Lorelai and Logan's advice. Logan and Lorelai disagree about what Rorys priorities should be and there's tension in the air. When Logan comes to visit Stars Hollow for the first time, he and Lorelai talk about Rorys future and what Logan has learned from his failed business venture.

Taylor, who is allergic to hay, decides to turn all of Stars Hollow into a springtime hay bale maze attraction. Everyone is against it at first because the entire budget goes into the construction of the maze. I thought it was actually a really cool idea and I love how they used it into the plot. Lorelai goes it alone, and runs into Luke. They start talking and apologizing to each other and things are finally starting to be normal for them again.

Rory ends up declining the Pro Jo job in hopes she'll get the fellowship that she really wants. Big mistake? We'll see.

Now the show is getting ridiculous.

I was bored to tears watching those last episodes. This second half of season 7 is useless. And is trying to be socially aware so bad, it's comical. Of course the rich boy had to lose all his money, and realize it don't grow on trees. But please, the way writers portrayed Lorelai in this episode, was dumb. Gilmore Girls was never a very realistic show, so talking about her choice of leaving her parents, like her personal battle against privileged life, is preposterous. Her life is a Disney movie, compared to how things really turn out for sixteen runaways with a newborn. She got lucky stumbling upon another wealthy woman, who hired her to work at her prestigious hotel. And then became the co-owner/heiress of the business. Give me a break! It's not like she had to work hard for all of that. And simply traded an overbearing mother with a cooler one, with even more money. I hated this part, it made the new writers look like they never saw the show before, or understood its stakes. The part with the maze was funny, and Lorelai's talk with Luke had good realizations, but I'm sure they will push this stupid endgame, now that Christopher's out of the picture. Rory is clearly set out to fail, refusing that job opportunity. So the character's assassination can continue.
