I really want to write about the Gilmore Girls Revival...

But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to organize my thoughts enough.

I loved Emily's journey. I loved lorelai's. I love Luke I love Jess and Kirk and Gypsy and Paris and Doyle. I still hate Logan. I think we saw more JarPad than we did of Dean. I love the weird subplot of Liz and TJ and the veggie cult. I love Babbette and Miss Patty. I love Maury's "A Film By Kirk" t-shirt.

I think Rory Gilmore is a trashfire of a human being who needs to be stopped.

She hasn't changed. She hasn't learned anything. She's still sleeping with men that are in monogamous relationships. She's still expecting things to be handed to her instead of having to work for them.

It bothers me.

I'm not thrilled about the ending and the final four words. I'm not terribly shocked? But I'm not terribly happy about it?

At the same time, I understand what Amy is doing, and I understand the circular thing she's going for. I think we could have lived without it, but I get it. And it leaves the doors open for a new set of stories to be told.

That, I am down for.

I really want Rory's daughter (of course it's a girl) to be a better human than her mother. That's kind of the story I'd like to write. I want to write the world through that little girl's eyes, because I feel like there's potential for a fresh perspective there. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the fourth Gilmore Girl (Fifth if we're counting Trix) will just be more of the same. Have the same attitude and the same behavior.

But I'd like to think that wouldn't be the case.

Hm.
