Well, now you know why reading spoilers didn't make me inclined to return to the show. I just couldn't believe that Lorelai, who had such firm belief that marriage wasn't to be entered into lightly that she wouldn't even marry Christopher when she was pregnant with his child, would marry Christopher - or anyone! - unless it was The Real Deal.
For me, even worse than the fact that I never liked Christopher/Lorelai was the fact that I felt like Lorelai was completely lost in season 6 and 7. There were times I didn't like her before, but there was never a time when I didn't recognize her. But to me, the character eroded away in season 6 and was left unrecognizable by the end. People tend to blame season 7's suckiness on the departure of ASP, but I feel she shares the bigger part of the blame for completely destroying Lorelai to the point where the writers had nothing left to work with at the start of season 7.
I agree. Lorelai just jumping into marriage seemed strange and unlike her. She explains her haste in the episode I just watched by saying that after waiting around so long for luke to marry her having a man in front of her who she knew so well, who loved her and who was willing to marry her ... She went for it. It makes a kind of sense, but does it make sense for lorelai, I don't know.
Her character did change so much. I have such a hard time believing that she would have stood idly by through season 6 waiting for luke. Then again I feel luke was out of character there too.
