gilmore girls log-in

it has been almost a month and i'm still downloading. i have to wait and wait until i'll be able to quench this gilmore girls fix. unlike any other CW shows, gilmore girls didn't reach dawson's creek popularity in the british isles. it's only a blip. a tiny minority knows of its existence. there are no dvd's available anywhere in the city.

the very reason i got stuck at the end of season 5 is because in june or was it july, the hallmark channel showed daily episodes of the revered mother-daughter show from seasons 1 to 5. i knew there would come a time, the card-channel would suddenly halt all proceedings and they certainly did, last month. i'm now pining for season 6. i'm still in this luke-lorelai mode and christopher is just christopher at the moment, rory's dad. not yet the new husband.

but as always i continue reading about the series so i'm more or less up to date. according to the new york times, the departure of the palladinos (the show's creators, due to contract disputes) changed the structure of the show. less pop culture references? that wouldn't be gilmore girls. that would be seventh heaven.

and everybody hates chris? christopher, despite the sherry sidesteps in seasons 2 and 3 is still dishy. why couldn't lorelai get together with the father of her child? even if that child kept pining for the wrong guy post-dean. the palladinos should have poured more meat into the dean character. but no, jared padalecki, who was equally at-home in the new york minute arms of mary-kate olsen, is now doing well in supernatural. while the writers fueled a james dean persona into jess. why would rory like someone who was disrespectful towards her mother? the seemingly goody-goody girls always fall for the bad boy. milo ventimiglia has moved on, first in american dreams and now heroes and has called it quits with miss bledel. logan, meanwhile may be rich and well-connected but he's too spoiled for comfort, it's almost unpleasant.

and as for lorelai, despite her unconventional relationship with her mother and that over-the-top brooding for luke, is the driving force of the series. how we wish we could all be that brainy or that gorgeous or that funny and be surrounded by witty people and be the bearer of quotes to live by from hereon.
