All good things must end, but not all good things end well.
Gilmore Girls is one of the most original and
entertaining television programs ever to grace the CW.
Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel)
star as the quick-witted and heavily caffeinated
mother-daughter duo at the heart of this quirky drama.
Normally smarter than the average show, the seventh season
represents a slump in an otherwise brilliant run. The
seventh season is the first without series creator Amy
Sherman-Palladino, and her absence is evident. Smart
characters make dumb decisions and dumb characters spend too
much time on screen. The normally fluid plot slumbers along
as Rory's father Christopher returns as Lorelai's love
interest, Rory gets even more serious with Logan, while Luke
and Lorelai try to repair their damaged relationship. But
it's not all bleak. Highpoints of the season include the
birth of Lane's twins, plus the long-awaited cameo by
Christiane Amanpour, which sends Rory into a tizzy: "I can't
meet Christiane Amanpour in my pajamas!" The counterbalance
of the quirky Stars Hollowians, which is half the fun of
Gilmore Girls in previous seasons, is gone or, worse,
awkwardly shoehorned in. Still, for fans of the series the
final season is a must-own, if only to find out what happens
to the characters they loved and laughed with for so many
years. --Megan Chaffee
