i'll be the first to admit i've been pretty much addicted Gilmore girls since about season 2. I'll also be the first to admit how disappointed i am about season 7. David Rosenthal spent far to long with the Chris/Lorelai plot and completely ruined the season for all Luke/lorelai fans (which, hello, is ALL OF US).

however, i give him props for the finale. everyone in that series was given their moments with the Gilmore girls from lane and sookie, to Richard and Luke. even though the ending left me unsatisfied, the idea was a good one.

thank you Gilmore girls for making my Tuesday nights so much more fun. I'll miss it, but i'll never forget it and neither will any other Gilmore fans out there!! Luke and lorelai forever and ever:)

I agree that this episode is a little rushed, but honestly I absolutely love it.

Rory and Lorelais summer plans are derailed when Rory gets a job following Obama's campaign trail. They both are scurrying around trying to prepare for her send off. Lorelai admits that it's too hard to stop and think/talk about so they try to stay busy and hang out as much as possible.

The town was planning on throwing a party for Rory but Babette tells Luke that it's going to rain so they can't plan the party. Luke stays up all night sewing tarps, tents, etc together to make a huge covering for the party. The Gilmore Girls arrive to this surprise party and it's just a beautiful & rainy sight to see. Hooray for Rory. Even Richard and Emily show up and tell Lorelai how proud they are. It's touching.

Lorelai finds out that Luke planned the whole thing and when she asks him about it, he says he just wants her to be happy :) they kiss and GG fans around the world applause.

We end the episode in a full freaking circle with the girls eating breakfast at Luke's diner.

I found this episode to be everything it needed to be. While some things were a bit rushed in the last several episodes - Loreali goes from marriage to Christopher to single mom status in a hurray - it all seems to fit.

We all wanted to see Luke and Loreali resolve their relationship. They do. Loreali holds back tears upon learning Luke did all the work in throwing a going away party for Rory. She immediately walks over to his place and thanks him. Luke stumbles out the right words about "just wanting to see you happy." Under her breath, you barely hear Loreali say one word - "Luke". And the rest is history for all time.

It doesn't take much imagination to know that all ends well in this little make believe town for Rory, Loreali and Luke, especially the last two. Thank you Amy, cast and crew too, for a splendid run of acting and written dialogue from start to finish!

After years of watching Lorelai, Rory and the rest of Stars Hollow grow up, it was finally time to say:"Bon Voyage!". But, I think that this was not quite the goodbye Gilmore girls dissevered. After seven years, it may have been time to say goodbye, but not in the way they did. And considering that there were some very important characters missing, it was a disappointment. Where were some of the most controversial and important characters like Christopher and Mrs. Kim. Also, we were missing some regulars; Paris, Logan (but only because of what happened the week before, T.J. (odd, because Liz is there), Gil and a few more. All in all, I feel like this wasn't quite the right ending to an amazing show, although, Lorelai's "moment" with Luke, was a step in the right direction. Hopefully, this won't be the true ending to this spectacular show, which has delighted many for seven years.

I am not going to try to give anything anyone but I'm sorry if I do. The last episode, how sad is that, the being of the episode did not make it seem like it would be then then later on it did. I love what Luke did for Lorelai. It made me so happy and mad me realize how much I am going to miss Gilmore Girls. I also love how the town keeps what they are planning a Secert throughout the whole episode, it makes me so happy but what really get me is what happens at the end, the whole ending is just a heart warming ending that will more than likely make you cry. It was a really good last episode and personial I don't think they could of ending it better.

The build-up was much better than the payoff. Lets get that out of the way. Here is what I liked.

I liked that the Stars Hollow regulars all didn't get their massive life change that happens in alot of series finales. Miss Patty didn't get her career resurrected. Sookie didn't get to be a chef-testant on reality TV. I liked that there was some normalcy in the finale. The scenes between Richard, Emily, and Lorelai were some of the best scenes in the entire series. And the penultimate scene between L&L...masterfully done. Quick; simple, and to the point. They didn't have Luke using 5 syllable words or ham it up too much. Great.

But c'mon. Let me get this straight...the entire town and all of the cast regulars disappear in this secret meeting in the middle of the day and Rory and Lorelai don't notice the complete abandonment of the town? Did they have to do the refusal of the wedding ring in the final episode? Why not give Rory and Logan a happy and ambiguous ending??? There are other moments that made me look sideways at the TV in the final episode but these are on the top of the list.

I would have liked to have seem a lot more girlpower in the final season from Rory at the end--this goes for the last 2 season of her chasing this boy who is so bad to her around. And I kept waiting for the payoff. It never came. Maybe deploy Paris as someone who could essentially cut Logan off at the knees because she "knows" the type better than Rory does.

All in all though...a fine series. As a personal aside, I am a WestWing nut. The series used a lot of the same actors and GG was recommended to me by the podcast The West Wing Weekly. The series was a breath of fresh air and I subscribed to Netflix solely for the purpose of watching GG. Money well spent in my view. I can't wait to see "A year in the life"

i really don't think this is a wonderful ending for the GG. What happened to the Lorelai/April relationship? We really didn't get to see much of their relationship after the episode of Hay Bale maze. As well as the Luke/Rory relationship? I think Rory should know that Luke was the one who started the whole graduation party for her. How about the Richard/Emily/Luke relationship? Does Emily still hate/dislike Luke? How come we didn't get to see how Luke gave the necklace to Lorelai? At least, we get to see the relationship of Emily/Richard/Lorelai/Rory, Lorelai/Luke/Rory. The kiss was wonderful. and it was the first and last kiss in the 7th season. I really wish there were an 8th season.

After the Netflix reboot series left us with more questions than answers I've come to think of this as being the better finale, as nearly all the characters get there final moment, and there's some closure.

There are some lovely moments here, with all the heart/warmth that we came to expect from the show over the 7 years.

Personally I will see this as the end rather than what followed years later.

I thought the last episode was dead boring and sort of didn't really do anything for the series. I was expecting a big exciting happy ending and was disappointed when that didn't happen. And the episode before the last one where Rory refused Logans proposal was just awful i think that they should of been together to the end and it was a bit stupid because they loved each other sooo much but she decided not to marry him so why didn't they just stay together? i was wanting Logan to be in the last episode. I think the end episode should of been fast forwarded about a year or so and you see Logan and Rory getting married and Lorelai and Luke getting married in like a double ceremony or something that would be way better!!!!!

Rory's job was kinda weird. Employed by a politic to write about his campaign? I thought great reporters/journalist were objective.

It was necessary for Lorelai and Luke to end up together.

When I first saw this chapter 15 years ago didn't think it was impossible to make a big tarp but well...

Yes, there were some characters missing, but I really don't miss luke's family AT ALL. Not important, simply annoying.

I agree that it was a rushed finale. Really rushed. Somewhat flat. The rain gave me the impression of sadness and depression.

I think Rory would have been written in a realistic way if she would have say yes to Logan's proposal. It really didn't show any touch with reality at all. Who would have said "no" to that future? Like some reviewer said: there was no necessity to be black or white. Logan and Rory were out of character. Both in love but decided to break up because she said no to marriage? That's stupid, unrealistic, and true with this tv show.

And why there is always a marriage like it is something normal??

La la la la laaaa.

There's a big gap of quality between the pilot episode and the series ender. Everything there is just too customary and unimportant. Actors broke character a lot, during the penultimate episodes, but Rory's goodbye party simply felt like witnessing their last day of shooting. The fact that a small town's kid departure, is the event of the century in Stars Hollow, is also pretty sad. The show used to balance the disadvantages of having everyone knowing everyone, with people still having their own priorities and obligations. But this episode made it look like their whole world revolved around the « Gilmore girls ». It was so over the top, even the grandparents joined in, when they don't even live here. The way they pushed Luke and Lorelai together, was disgusting. And that kiss was so random and cringeworthy, it made it look as if writers were doing it for fangirling's sake. I genuinely don't think there was anything good about this finale. And even though the last shot was in case the show might return next fall. It was not a good callback to the pilot episode's closing, for showing how aimless and soulless the show got after its seven season run.
