Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Pretty definitive deaths for ALIAS, but I would have said the same about the brazzilian bullets Vaughn took as well.

I think as we get closer to the series finale, the deaths will get more permanent, if only for lack of time to bring anyone back.

GG...Rory and Logan end the season tearfully in love and missing each other already as he heads off to London for a year. No indication that their relationship is going anywhere.

At Friday night dinner, Emily invites Christopher and a woman to set him up with (who happens to be a psychologist), which Lorelai watches with detached amusement until Christopher corners her in the bathroom and begs her to help him get out of it. Which she's happy to do, cheerfully dominating the dinner-table conversation with random observations and movie quotes.

After dinner is over, Lorelai is saying goodbye to Setup Woman at her car, and eventually winds up in the back seat having a therapy session, finally getting everything out about Luke, April, the wedding, etc. Setup Woman tells her flat out "only you can make you wait," and that she has to either DO something about the situation and prepare to accept the consequences, or accept the waiting. Either way, take action and decide to be okay with it.

So Lorelai barges into the diner, corners Luke (who pulls her into the street), and demands that they elope. She tells him she's tired of waiting, tired of walking of eggshells, tired of keeping her mouth shut while he "figures it out," etc etc etc. Basically everything she should have said months ago. In the middle of this she also brings up Anna's name, and Luke is not happy that Lorelai went to see her. He's also not exactly into the idea of driving to Maryland that night to elope, and wants Lorelai to slow down and talk about this tomorrow. Lorelai is pissed and upset and disappointed, and runs off....to Christopher. The last scene is her waking up in bed with him the next morning, no dialogue.

(And on an editorial note, I am NOT happy that this is how the Paladinos have chosen to leave the show. Not that every season has to end happily, but this feels to me like throwing a wrench into the works just because they can, because they're not going to be around to clean up the mess. Maybe next season will be fine, but right now, I'm not happy with how they left things.)

No! I should have stopped watching GG at the beginning of this season. It was a lousy season.

I had heard that was the ending, but I really thought it was a false spoiler. Running back to Christopher just makes me roll my eyes at this point.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

This is why I'm a spoiler whore. I so do not want to see that. GG, it was fun while it lasted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It makes perfect sense in context -- honestly it wasn't that that bothered me. It was Luke's reaction that drove her to it that was out of character.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

To be more precise, it's the whole screaming at Luke in the street and then ending up with Christopher thing that I don't want to see. I didn't want to see last week's drunken Lorelei speech either.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

So many people were out of character this season. Luke for obvious reasons. Lorelai for turning her back on Rory. Rory for continuing to put up with Logan. If it wasn't for Lane's wedding, this season would have been a total waste.

I had to fastforward through it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so glad I stopped watching GG. Why do shows do that? (and it sometimes feels like they all do)

I've loved this season up until now -- I think it's been handled brilliantly. And I think I would have had a very different reaction to the finale if I didn't know the Paladinos weren't going to be around to handle the fallout next year.
