Me too.
I am sorely disappointed. I love Cameron.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
She's pregnant, right? Seems like an obvious set-up.

Because books.
I was under the impression the first time they had sex was during the party, so pregnancy seems a little unlikely to me, but who knows?

In general I would go with the pregnancy storyline, but... here I think not. It's one of the advantages of a woman showrunner, I wager.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
in "real life" if such a situation occurred, the new bride would bolt from the town like her hair was on fire. Nothing really is keeping her here except the view from the master bedroom.
So the next ep really needs to sell why she would stay in that town now. I don't need a hard sell, just a reasonable attempt.

It's not like he would have had time to write weird conditions into his will, either, like, "You'll be taken care of for life, but you have to stay here and teach dance with dear old mom."
I'm going to keep watching for a little while because DANCERS! I hope the show finds its own identity, though, instead of just borrowing from the Gilmores.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
let me play devil's advocate for a sec. Mo Ryan responded to the critiques of it being too similar to GG the following: "so what if it is too similar? I'm enjoying it" and there are some key differences in overall plot.
I didn't get past the 1st or 2nd season of GG, so I don't find it to be similar of GG, but it is probably my bad memory.

There are key differences, but the feel/tone of it is really similar (to me). And the dynamics! Wild child younger woman with uptight older woman, and the magical small town are the most obvious, I think. Also, Michelle reminds me so much of Lorelei -- tall, brunette, fast-talking, irreverent -- that when I *don't* see Lauren Graham there, I'm a little disappointed. Someone else said that upthread, I think.
I intend to keep watching for a while, though. I didn't actually love Gilmore Girls at the beginning, but then I watched it in syndication and got hooked. I watched the last two (three?) seasons in first run.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I feel like West Wing and Sports night were basically the same show, it is just that one was a "comedy" half hour and one was a"drama" hour, and it grew so that the show was more about the president than Sports Night was about the station director person (Robert Guilliame). But the tone and the fast-talking are the same. I feel like every show Sorkin writes is the same, but still good.
