Well, I felt like the real action ended about 15 minutes before the end of the episode.

There was some good stuff otherwise.

Cool, except the piece leaves you thinking that the fault is with the show not with the schedulers at the Network.

Apparently, there are rumors of a GG reunion movie floating around already.

Do those rumors include Amy Sherman-Palladino?

They are not that complete. The discussion over at TWOP wonders about ASP but I haven't read the original source. (I also wonder whether this isn't the sort of rumor that flies whenever a beloved show goes away.)

Mostly lurking...

You know, I really thought I read someone from the cast saying that there would probably be a reunion movie...that the cast had signed on for it. I wish I could remember where I read that.

Ausiello says that ASP is behind the reunion movie.

ETA:

Question: So, what gives? There is no way you could still be at Fox's upfront party. Did you track down AS-P, and, if so, what were the final four words she had in mind for Gilmore Girls?— Katrina
Ausiello: OK, here's the deal: Yes, I tracked her down, but, no, she did not cough up those elusive four words. But wait — there's more. And it's good. No, amazing. No, un-frakkin'-believable. Amazing, even. Wait, did I say that already? Well, it's true. Because just as I was about to brand her a big ol' promise-breaker right there in front of all those industry types, Amy explained why she couldn't divulge her long-ago-planned Gilmore ending. (Gilmore fanatics: This is the time in Sprockets when you either lean on a heavy object or just sit down.) In the next year or two, she hopes to make — wait for it — a two-hour Gilmore Girls TV-movie that ties up all those loose threads! I nearly fell over when she said it — especially given what she told me back in December. (BTW, lest you think Amy was pulling my leg, her partner in life and in showbiz, Dan Palladino, confirmed that a GG reunion pic is something they're interested in pursuing.)

(Added because there are big Heroes casting spoilers on the same page. Spoilers for next year you know.)

Possible Jericho news:

Question: What, if anything, are your sources telling you regarding this Jericho "closure" that CBS is promising? I think I speak for every fan when we say we don't want closure. We want Season 2!— Josh >br?
Ausiello: All I know is that a meeting is taking place this week at CBS. To learn more about the gargantuan "Save Jericho" movement, head to jericholives.com.

And I thought -- hmmm, because most of the shows that I've heard of having that sort of campaign are not on the top network in the country - they're on the smallest networks or on cable only and probably have a tiny percentage of the viewers of even the lesser viewed shows on the big networks. So maybe the Jericho Lives campaign really is massive.

Okay, apparently people are sending nuts to CBS.

Okay.
