Ugh

Yasemin

OMG scared to watch and excited at once! Thanks Ry :) Also, I will never not hate Lorelai for this move...

Luna

I HATE IT HEREEE NOOO I’M SO SORRY UGH SENDING YOU BIG HUGS RYANN ☹️

Nana

Best notification ever. But scared to watch this.

Luna

Okay, so… I know that some people already mentioned this by now, but I’m gonna write it too considering we’re at the end of the season. Basically, this was the last episode ASP and her husband wrote for the show, so they’re no longer involved in the final season, which you’ll soon be starting. You see, they wanted to renew the show for TWO more seasons because they didn’t just want a season 7. They wanted a season 8 too, but the network refused, so they got upset over that and decided to leave because they couldn't agree on a final deal. Because they basically wrote and directed almost every single episode themselves and were starting to get burned out, they also asked for a bigger writing staff to help carry the load + a bit more creative freedom. The network said no to that too, so they just walked away. Because of all that drama, a new showrunner took over for season 7, which is why the vibe changes a bit from here on out. I’m both excited and terrified to see what you think of it because it gets a lot of mixed reviews. However, I’m one of the few who doesn’t mind it. (Amy and Daniel come back for the revival, by the way, but we’ll get into that at a later time.)

Luna

Okay… and now it’s time to cry! 😭 The ultimatum scene breaks my heart because we spent FOUR SEASONS building up this relationship, only to watch it fall apart in just a few months. And I’m not saying that I agree with one of them more than the other because they were BOTH at fault for letting things get to this point. First of all, their lack of communication was obviously the biggest problem here. Luke completely shut her out and lied to her THE SECOND they agreed not to keep secrets from each other, while Lorelai never told him how upset she was about postponing the wedding. She was the one who suggested it to him in the first place because he was clearly overwhelmed by this new addition to his life, which I understood AT THE TIME. However, I really think she should’ve been honest with him about how she felt because she clearly never liked the postponement. Meanwhile, Luke kept acting as though he were a single father with no partner, making decisions without even including her. The longer these things dragged on, the more miserable she became, so she definitely played a part in enabling his behavior and allowing the postponement to continue by going along with them without expressing how she truly felt. As for the ultimatum, while Lorelai had every right to issue one, I’ve never liked how the scene itself played out because it felt way too dramatized for its own good. I genuinely believe that Luke would’ve 1000% agreed to elope with her if she’d just calmed down. And before anyone tells me that she’d been waiting for months and had been patient enough, I agree!!! BUT HEAR ME OUT: Think about the moment ITSELF. Luke was still working at the diner and couldn’t just drop everything, so he was clearly very busy. If Lorelai had waited until AFTER his shift, I think they would’ve talked things through in a calmer manner and decided to go for it because they loved each other so much and wanted nothing more than to be married to each other. Anyway, I’ve never liked ultimatums in relationships because they can so easily break them, which is why this situation never sat right with me. And don’t even get me started on Lorelai sleeping with Christopher THAT SAME NIGHT. It felt like a big “FUCK YOU” from Amy and Dan to the network, leaving the new writers with this huge mess to deal with. I have SO much more to say about this, but we’ll get into it when you start season 7 because this isn’t over lol.

Luna

One more thing, I can’t help but praise Alexis Bledel for her acting during the goodbye scene between Rory and Logan. It’s one of her best acting moments on the show, and her crying felt so real. Our beloved Gilmore Girls are seriously going through it, huh? 🤧

Ryann Rodkey

No genuinely- as much as the ultimatum scene hurts, I think what really hurt me the most was her going and sleeping with Christopher immediately. Omg it’s like I’ve been attacked 😭

Yasemin

The contract negotiations failed. I think Amy Sherman-Palladino wanted better payment, and to do 8 seasons, and there are some rumors that she created a bit of a mess at the end of season 6, in terms of storyline, with the idea of her being the only one who could later clean up that mess, but alas...Allegedly, she never even watched season 7.

Luna

We’ve ALL been dreading this moment for you ugh I’m so sorry. I still can’t get over this part 😭

Yasemin

Absolutely! Anna's behavior was utterly shitty. It is also not the greatest bit of writing (yet again!) to portray that one character as a villain with no depth, essentially. Unfortunately, the writing overall became a bit flat, lazy and overly dramatic at this point.

2026-11-05 09:00 I love that you are vibing with the troubadours. I can't help but think that it was a bit of a metaphor there in the end....as you said, "there can only be one troubadour", and I wouldn't be surprised if Amy Sherman-Palladino thought she was the only one to continue with GG.

Ok, I have said it before and I will say it again (just finished your reaction but haven't listened to your justified rant yet :): I hate the character assassination re. Lorelai here. For months, you act like everything's fine, then you ambush Luke at his diner and give him an ultimatum, and like 2 seconds later, you go and sleep with Christopher. A HARD NO. I don't even care if it was technically cheating or not (for what it's worth, to me, it was, because this was not a breakup, but whatever). NO NO NO!

Karolina Hołub

To be honest I think that was a breakup, because she said it's now or never. Now, of course this was still a terrible decision to sleep with Christopher. I think she did it fully on purpose to cut off Luke, because she knew there is no coming back from that. And she was scared she will talk herself into waiting and struggling more because she loved him so much. So she forced a full breakup with no way to come back. As bad of a decision as it was, I get where she is coming from. Sadly Luke really lost me this season. And even though I understand that the way Lorelai confronted him now was too much, I still don't think he reacted right. It's starting to look like April is an excuse for me and I think at some point Lorelai also thought that. I think there's an underlying theme of him being scared of commitment. Lorelai also knows she is the one who proposed. So at this point, she was so patient in my opinion. She gave him MONTHS and he failed to reassure her, even after she told him her concerns. There was a lot missing on Luke's part and I understand she doesn't want to wait any longer. As bad as she handled that, I understand.

Karolina Hołub

I think sleeping with Christopher was in character though because Christopher is her escape often. AND as I said in my comment, I think she did it on purpose to force herself to stick to her ultimatum and not go back to Luke after that, because she knew it is a deal breaker. I understand the perspective that she should be more open with him, but also I expect the other side to be a little more present, because it was written all over her over time, and in my opinion when someone loves someone, they can read things like that easily. And I think Luke was aware, but conveniently avoided addressing it. :(

Luna

OMG YES. This is exactly how I see it too! To me, they broke off their engagement, NOT necessarily their entire relationship. She never explicitly said they were done or over, so I find it difficult to use that as justification for what happened with Christopher. I understand that she was hurt, but that doesn’t excuse her actions. This is LUKE we’re talking about here, her BEST FRIEND and someone who had been there for both her and Rory for YEARS, long before they became a couple. Their history deserved more consideration than this 😐

gay nebula

I had honestly forgotten how devastating this episode is :(

Luna

It’s definitely in character, unfortunately. She’s always had this tendency to self-sabotage things to be the right one, and it’s her biggest flaw imo as a character. I just replied to Yasemin, btw, and I personally saw it as cheating like her too, so I think you should read my comment to her because it explains what I want to say even more. I do have to say that the follow-up in the season 7 premiere will explain whether or not it was a breakup, so I’ll just leave this here so we wouldn’t spoil Ryann lol

Luna

The season 7 premiere will reveal to us if it was a breakup or not tho. I can’t say too much because I don’t want us spoiling Ryann lol

Bruce

Keep pushing on, Ryann. I know it’s a bit brutal, but keep going.

Lindsey Metcalfe

Wasn't there also a writer's strike around this time? I thought that was also a factor but I'm old and my memory isn't as reliable as it used to be.

Lindsey Metcalfe

Luke is gruff, but he pretty demonstrably loves kids throughout the series. Most of the stuff he gets 'bullied' into doing, the reason he gives in is often to help or make a good experience for the kids in town. His protest against it initially is almost always because he feels bullied into participating (understandable). And how he is with Rory? How he looks out for Lane, particularly when she first moved out and wasn't in contact with her parents? You are absolutely right he would've been a great dad.

Luna

You’re actually close! The strike happened a few months after the show ended on November 5th 2007, while the show ended on May 15th 2007 :)

Luna

Random but I forgot to mention how much I adore that scene of Lorelai and the therapist. She was such a cool character that I still wish we got to see more of. The line “I don’t think I ever really loved anyone… until Luke” makes me so emo ☹️ It’s so interesting to see Lorelai finally and actually take therapy seriously considering how she mocked it in the past when Rory was going to one after she returned to Yale.

Allison

Going from no talking about her feelings to jumping to ultimatum is crazy. The communication of the Gilmores is a psychology class case study.

Denise McClymont

Such a stupid lorelai mistake at the end there

Ryann Rodkey

I will I will, I must know what happens but gosh, this is the worst 😭

Ryann Rodkey

that's what I'm saying! I think going to him and saying you want to elope is fine if that's what you want to do but saying it had to be that very moment when he's in the middle of work and everything was wild!

Ryann Rodkey

exactly! yes he always talks a big game about kids and stuff but at his core he always does stuff for the kids and yes, exhibit a - Rory! such a lousy excuse to keep his child a secret from him, unacceptable!

cruzinbosco

It all comes down to failed contract negotiations with The WB (which was merging with UPN to form The CW). It was a crazy time in general because losing The WB was major. The CW is great but it has never compared to what The WB was for the generation that watched it and grew up with it. I still grieve the network... which sounds crazy but... Personally, after what the Palladinos do to this show with A Year In The Life, I am glad they didn't get to do S7. I know a lot of people dislike S7, but I truly love it. It's very different and such an important journey for all of our characters. I prefer to think of it as THE END. Watch and enjoy AYITL where you can, but I think of it as just an extra fan thing and consider this upcoming season to be the true end for our beloved characters. Cherish it, even any hard bits. It's really difficult to talk about my feelings for this episode and going forward without spoiling anything (other than I clearly despise AYITL 😂) so I will stay quiet regarding anything else but I am excited for season 7, and I hope you'll find something good in it. ♥
