Naja, wenn sie es nicht abstreitet und die Situation analysiert als wäre was passiert, klingt das für mich schon so als denkt sie auch dass was passiert ist. Die Sache ist halt nur dass sie es auch nicht sicher wissen knn weil sie ja nicht weià was sich DR einfallen lässt und wie es weitergeht.
Wenn er das ganze als Traumsequenz enden lässt, oder ne komische Erklärung für findet... wer weiÃ. Das wäre dann zwar sehr soapig, aber möglich ist alles, irgendwie muss er aus der Nummer ja wieder rauskommen, denn weder Fans noch Kritiker sind begeistert. manche Kritiken sind echt vernichtend. (Die Storyline betreffend, nicht die Leistung der Schauspieler)
Bevor ich hier lange rumrede bringe ich mal zwei rüber:
Wow. Incredibly honest review of the finale. Who here wrote it lol?

It had been lacking for much of the season, but the usual fun and chemistry we've enjoyed for years helped open the episode after a glum scene of Lorelai laying on the couch at Sookie's house, seemingly oblivious to everything around here and absorbed in the drama of her rocky relationship with Luke.
A Friday-night dinner with the elder Gilmores, during which Lorelai's mother Emily attempts to set up Lorelai's ex and the father of Rory, Christopher, with the daughter of a family friend, a psychologist, allowed for a healthy dose of the usual Gilmore humor. Rory, who was supposed to be in attendance, instead opted to throw a party for her boyfriend, Logan, who was soon to be off to England to help with his rich father's newspaper business. This left Lorelai to distract the awkward set-up with her usual cache of ridiculous questions in an attempt to save Christopher from further humiliation.
Emily Gilmore's attempt to set up Christopher fails miserably, but it provided an opportunity for Lorelai to spill her guts to a qualified professional. And she does so from the backseat of her car, filling her in on the ups and downs of her life with the Gilmores, her brief relationship in her teens with Christopher which resulted in Rory, and the bumpy relationship with Luke, whom she says to her is the only man she ever really loved and that they really belonged together. Luke, who has spent much of the season getting close to a 13 year old daughter he never knew he had until late last year, has put on hold their June wedding and, in doing so, unwittingly put their relationship on hold. The psychologist tells Lorelai that she needs to speak her mind and get what she wants.
And she does — she runs to Luke's diner and demands that he elope with her that evening, right then and there. Luke, understandably, is confused and thrown off guard by her frantic ultimatum and reacts like most rational people would — he asks that she just calm down and wait. Instead, Lorelai walks away, and when we see her next she's knocking on Christopher's door, who takes her in.
We cut to the morning and see Lorelai in bed, under sheets but obviously naked, and Christopher enters the room in a robe. There's a glimmer of hope that what we're thinking happened didn't really happen, but that is dashed when Christopher removes his robe, crawls into bed, and snakes an arm around Lorelai. Staring off screen, she glares with the knowing, weary stare of someone who did something very bad and very stupid.
I have to wonder if departing show creators and writers Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband had to feel the same way, because with that one move they virtually destroyed any hope for this show functioning next season the way it has in the past — and may have driven off a large number of the show's fans, many of whom flocked to the internet to discuss and generally diss the season finale.
Oddly, much of the episode's non-Gilmore related story pertained to the events following town troubadour Grant Lee Phillips' "discovery" on the streets of Stars Hollow, and he is whisked away to open up for Neil Young. An onslaught of troubadors descend on the town also hoping to hit it big. Town mayor Taylor Doose has his hands full trying to dissuade the singers off his streets, but as the episode moves on, we see the town square filling up with them, whose numbers are populated by a who's-who of indie fame from Joe Pernice to Sonic Youth to Yo La Tengo. It was especially thoughtful to give Sam Phillips (who sings all the "la la la" songs sprinkled throughout the show) a special spotlight at the end. It was a nice gesture by the departing Palladino creative team — both to Phillips and fans who expect semi-obscure musical references right and left throughout each episode — but it didn't really fit in with the episode.
In general, the episode seems like it was purposely written by Amy Sherman-Palladino to showcase everything she and her husband had to offer to the show and the network, as they are both leaving the show having not convinced the WB to hand over large sums of money and guarantee two more seasons. Insufficiently financially compensated, the Palladinos seem to have set forth determined to put the show on an irreversible path, tacking on a horribly bad ending as if to say "you had all this humor and fun as well as intelligent drama, and now we're going to leave you with this 'nearly impossible to make positive next season' ending! Good luck!"
I found it tremendously insulting — after a season of characters not acting anything like they normally would, they pull the ultimate out-of-character stunt and have Lorelai do exactly what she had scolded Rory for two seasons ago when she up and slept with (and lost her virginity to) then-married ex-boyfriend Dean? After all that emoting to the psychologist about how Luke was the only man she'd ever loved, that she'd never loved Christopher, she runs off and sleeps with him and throws away that relationship she so cherished with Luke? None of this makes any sense — but very little of what the main characters did this season made much sense, either.
Even knowing it was coming, from reading spoilers on the internet, I still found myself amazed at how minimally developed the issue of Lorelai sleeping with Christopher was because nothing in the rest of the show, or even the entire series, would lead you to believe she was capable of doing something that incredibly stupid. They failed to even provide sufficient impetus in this episode alone for her to make a dramatic character shift such as this. Lorelai, always given to impulsive moments, had never done anything quite this wretched, and we weren't given a suitable build-up to make it seem possible.
It's bad writing to have a main character do something as momentous as cheating without actually showing it happen — it's a cheap ploy by writers who don't care to develop a situation and just want the quick shock. While it struck many fans as disingenuous two seasons ago, at least we actually saw Rory give in to Dean's gross advances. Even though the whole thing was contrived to begin with, it at least had some development. We should have been given scenes with Christopher that made them getting together make sense. But we didn't. We didn't get any development that would make this make sense because, given any amount of thought, the twist in the story just would never happen. What we got was a cheap soap opera trick — and that was how we ended the season, on that dreary note.
You can look at it two ways: perhaps it was just time for the Palladinos to move on. They seem to have simply run dry of ideas for the show that didn't sink into melodrama. Not having the freedom to end the show this season, and I'm guessing not feeling comfortable ending it next season with the events on the show working out as they have lately, they asked for a two season guarantee and a bundle of money to get their creative juices flowing again. They didn't get it, and so they seem to have sunk the show as a final rude gesture.
But if they were going to stick around with their drought of ideas, then perhaps it's better they left and handed the reigns to someone else. David Rosenthal is that someone else, and he's got a huge task on his hands next season figuring out how to right the wrongs that were committed in the finale. The Palladinos may or may not have intentionally dug this show into a hole to spite the WB, but here's hoping that next season Rosenthal can, as the old saying goes, get the best revenge by doing well.

Gilmore Girls: The Worst Finale Ever
WOW, Amy Sherman-Palladino must really hate the WB. She planned her final send-off brilliantly. First, let’s annoy the network by overstocking Stars Hollow with Troubadours - a gimmick that while somewhat funny, definitely was overkilled in the episode. Secondly, let’s send off Rory’s boyfriend to England for the year! And finally, let’s put a major dent in the Luke & Lorelai relationship by having them have a massive fight in the middle of town, ending off with Lorelai once again sabatoging her love life by running back to Chris. Amy Sherman-Palladino definitely painted the show into a corner for next year. It will be really interesting to see how new showrunner David Rosenthal gets everyone out of this one.
I think it was a really bad sign that the happiest moment of the show was the opening scene with Sookie and Jackson - two characters that while I enjoy, can at times bring the show down. While I’m not at all ready to jump ship, it’s going to be fascinating to see if GILMORE GIRLS can actually be good again. The brilliance of the show was that Stars Hollow once was a magical place full of laughter, romance and town festivals. This season, all of that was missing. Let’s hope it comes back on THE CW
Ich kann Lorelai eigentlich gut verstehen...Sie war ja wirklich echt am Boden. Aber sie hätte eher jemanden gebraucht der sie tröstet und nicht der die Situation ausnutzt und mit ihr gleich in die Kiste hüpft. Das hätte ich von Chris echt nicht erwartet..obwohl ...doch hätte ich...so ist Chris nunmal...
