Gilmore Girls does Christmas in January

So over the hiatus, Gilmore Girls sort of faded into the back of my mind and now I think I'm much less likely to get worked up over things. This week's episode was actually not that bad. There was no stupid townie stuff, no stupid Yale stuff, no Logan (I've come to sort of accept the fact that Logan and Rory are a good couple but I still like her better when he's not around), there was Lane and Zack and Mrs. Kim and the band (though are Lane and Rory even friends anymore? Though how cute was Gil's little rocker son?), there were Lorelai/Rory scenes that did not take place over the phone, and I think we're now on the road to a Luke and Lorelai reunion, which is of course, the only way for this show to go.

Other than that, I do have some nitpicks. First of all, who parks their car at the airport when they can have someone who can drop them off and pick them up? Does Rory not care that it's horridly expensive, especially if you're going to be gone for more than just a couple of days? Or worse, did Logan pay for it? I thought she was supposed to be all independent now. And who wears a short skirt and boots on a trans-Atlantic flight? And does Rory have a new car? That Toyota Prius product placement was strangely obvious for the show, and it looks like a newer model. Didn't she get that car from Richard and Emily at her high school graduation? And was Lane's pregnant-with-twins belly purposely that unrealistic?

News is flying around that an eighth season for the show doesn't look likely. Lauren Graham is supposedly up for it, but Alexis Bledel is not sure and Lauren Graham wouldn't want to do the show without her. I really hope this is the last season. It's been seven years, people. Plus the CW really needs to get on developing some of their own new shows if they want to succeed.
