Lauren Graham continues to impress with an amazing performance. Lorelai finally gets up the nerve to go into the diner. Kirk as always is oblivious to the drama going on around him but Patty and Babette are not. After the first scene you wonder if our favourite couple will ever find their way back to each other but by the end of the car lot scene you just know that things are eventually going to be okay. Hopefully the eighth season will happen and we will be able to say good-bye to these characters knowing that they will be okay and live happily ever after. Happily ever after may not be realistic but we don't watch Gilmore Girls for realism, we watch it for the incredible writing, colorful characters and the lovely romance between Luke and Lorelai. It was a bit sad to see Rory lose out on the Reston Fellowship. It's really the first time her hard work hasn't produced the results she wanted. (Her first D at Chilton doesn't count) For the first time, she is competing against a huge field of extremely competent candidates including Post Graduate Students. Maybe this will make her realize that she should be going to Grad school, perhaps Harvard, to get her Masters Degree and reapply next year for the Fellowship.
Paris as a doctor...quite a concept. I believe she has the good sense to stay in research as she indicated in earlier shows. She will certainly be a tenacious researcher and maybe she will be responsible for curing cancer. The faked vasectomy story arc defies credulity. I believe I said this in an earlier review but I think it would have been smarter and more believable to have the vasectomy fail as opposed to Jackson lying about getting it. Come on writers, you dropped the ball on that one or maybe I should say balls.
All in all this was a great show. The writing was amazing as always. I'm sure all fans agree, however, the reconciliation is happening slower than we would like.
