[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, what a waste of time and effort that went into the making and watching this turkey.

The "writers" spent more time on trying to work in the "cameos" than coming up with interesting dialogue or plot.  It's obvious they spent copious amounts of time watching Eat Pray Love, Across the Universe, and Buffy and lifting shamefully from other stories.  Or even worse, doing meaningless montages b/c they couldn't think of anything interesting for the actors to do.

The actors seemed so stiff like they were reading off tele-prompters.  You would think Luke would take off the stupid hat while sitting down to dinner at his own house.  And Rory drinking in the middle of the day in the workplace no less.  (Very Lou Grant--no, Jess, very Mary Tyler Moore. Lou Grant didn't drink on Lou Grant; he did on MTM which was 1970.  Yeah, behavior in the workplace nearly 50 years ago isn't appropriate now.)

The fat shaming of guys at the pool was nasty and unfunny.  The Gilmore Girls act like mean sorority girls.  And I didn't get why two elementary school boys would be fanning them the entire time.  Weird gag that didn't make any sense.

Lorelai came off like an incredible hypocrite when she babbled to some reporter about how awful Emily was, but didn't want Rory to write a book b/c she'll come off looking bad. [b] Also, how stupid was it that the town paper had an article about a homeless pregnant teen moving to town and starting work at the inn.  Barf.[/b]

Also, did anyone catch that Ray Wise referred to Emily as "Alison" at one point?  God, all the actors/production crew/director were sleep walking through this that they didn't notice

Really stupd because as [b]true fans [/b]know, Lorelai didn't  move to Stars Hallow when she was pregnant, she lived with Richard & Emily during pregnancy and after birth she ran off when Rory was a baby ( Dear Richard & Emily) episode.[/quote]

I get that they were trying to fill in the gaps for people who may not be familiar with the show.  However, there are better ways to do it, say with a few lines of dialogue.

You raise a good point though, people who hadn't seen the show would have been baffled by this hodge podge.

The writers inserted weird cameos of actors from other shows to pay a sort of homage to Parenthood or Bun Heads that didn't do anything to move the "plot" along.   Strung together the original supporting cast members in choppy pointless bits.  Or made illusions to characters not in the re-boot.  A cult, really?   Couldn't Luke's sister and BIL have just moved?

They were trying to rest on their laurels on the popularity of the original show, but you really can't go home again.  [/quote]
