Did you see last week's GG when Rory had to talk to the psychiatrist and she was "crying"? Oh man, it was painful to watch. She really can't pull this stuff off. Besides, I can hardly take her seriously with all the make-up they slather on her face.

I don't mind the daughter storyline, but I hate the fact that it took him two months to tell Lorelai. Especially since he got so mad at her for not telling him about Christopher. I think I'm just watching out of loyalty these days.

See, if I didn't know better, if I'd been a new viewer or something, I would have thought that the character was faking it for the psychiatrist because it was just so horrendously bad. Sadly, though, I've gotten so used to AB that the notion never even entered my mind as I was watching. I hardly even noticed it, to tell you the truth. I've become desensitized to her crappiness.

I wouldn't have minded the long delay in telling her if they'd only made it seem like he had real obstacles. The ones they threw in his way were just melodramatic and in no way anything that would have prevented him from telling her.

I'm still hoping the show will end on a good note (please lord, I hope it's the end), but when even Lorelai's obvious pain at the end of the episode just made me shrug you know the show's not doing it for you anymore.

I think they are talking about one more season and then that's it. Maybe to see Rory graduate or something, since she made that comment about doubling on her courses to graduate on time. Another problem I see with the show is that Lorelai and Rory aren't that cute anymore. Their quirky habits... getting old. And Rory's relationship with Logan is beyond boring. I see no chemistry between those two.

And yeah, it irritates me so much that they re-used an actress for another role. Maybe it's glaringly apparent, because I watched her first episode only a few weeks ago, but it's not like she is such a fabulous actress that they couldn't NOT use her. She must be someone's wife/girlfriend/best friend/play mate.

Oh, no! Another season? Are you sure? I really thought this would be the final one. I'm depressed now, because I know I'll watch it till the end, but the way things are going right now I just won't care when it finally ends. Gah, and this probably means there won't be a season finale wedding and we'll have to wait until next year for it! Crap.

If it had been an unknown actress I wouldn't have minded, but Sherilyn Fenn is so recognizible that it's not like we're not going to remember she was in another episode - one that was supposed to have turned into a series, even.

Ooooh, and I just forgot that Butters was in the episode. Made me miss VM something fierce.

I don't keep up-to-date on all the GG news, but I know there was a big hullaboo about contracts for next year and something about SP/Luke not having one. Also, that AS-P might not be around, because she is creating this new show with her husband and how do you run GG without AS-P and her husband blah blah blah. I'm entirely sure if it's worked out, but I think they put the wedding in June, so when the season wraps up (April/May), they can have a cliffhanger. I don't see how they draw out the storylines for another 22 episodes in a seventh season, though.

OMG thank you. The second I saw him, I felt like I (well, he) was in the wrong show and I couldn't figure out why. Silly girl.

And yes, I miss VM, too :(

It took me a while to place him, but when I did I totally yelled out "Butters!" at the screen. Scared my cat half to death too, probably. =)
