Talking about season 6 last time felt like you could literally tell when the downward spiral that led to the worst season of Gilmore Girls
started. And no, it wasn’t April Nardini, at least not exactly. Now we
have reached season 7, which I previously referred to as a “dumpster
fire”—an ending to the series so unworthy, the show’s original creator
didn’t even watch it, and we’re getting a revival in less than two
weeks.
But is it really that bad, or are we all just bitter? And also bored. Let’s find out!
I don’t think I make a secret of it, but Gilmore Girls was one of my favorite pieces of media growing up (until S4, that is). Hopefully you’ve done yourself the treat of reading Jana’s meticulous and even neurotic retrospectives on each season with such thoroughness that it puts me and Julia to shame.
This is the final piece, with the show limping across the finish line in what is easily one of the worst seasons of any piece of media. Enjoy!
Never before have I felt such a strong need to post a “senpai noticed me!” meme.
Thank you so much!
(Also yes, look guys, I am still writing this thing. Last season retrospective, it’s only new stuff from here on out)
