[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally watched all the episodes.

So first - annoyed that there is speculation that baby could be the wookie. That was 6 months ago - she is tiny and would have known before November 5. It's Logan's - and the conversation with her dad proves it - as well as a quote from ASP the head writer who says "all girls have daddy issues and logan is rory's christopher."

I like the full circle (or "full freakin' circle" as Lorelia shouts to her mom in either the winter or spring episode) that Logan is Rory's Chris and will probably be vaguely involved while Rory raises the kid. I also think she will end up with Jess like Luke and Lorelai - fits and starts while she focuses first on being a mom and her writing and then finally gets together with him later like Lorelai does. I do think Jess and Rory will have a baby and she will get the more traditional start-to-finish raising a family with someone than her mom did.

[b]I think people are being too hard on Rory. I was THRILLED that they had her be a professional, working, mildly successful journalist, and that they didn't pull a One Tree Hill (that show flashed forward five years in its last season and every main character was wildly famous and successful - professional basketball player! famous singer on a world tour turned teacher! best-selling novelist! and CEO of a global fashion empire who dresses all the hollywood celebs! SOOO DUMB).

Totally realistic that Rory joined the millions of us who were very high achieving young women who went to the best colleges, graduated at the top of our class, and went on to careers but didn't become famous or even notable. Had mild successes along the way. [/b]And I love that they worked in the millennial entitlement that because she was talented, smart, and worked really hard she would be super successful top-of-her-field. Just not how life works.

I would have been pissed if Rory had ended up pregnant at the end of college. If that is what the creators intended, I think that is weak. I LOVE that she was 32 when it happened - the exact age her mom was when she started the series. Rory got to have more than her mom - the Yale education, the decade long career. And it's pretty clear the book is going to be successful and she can live out her dream of being a writer, at least for a little while longer.

I think it's full circle and I think Rory will be happy being a single mom for years like her mom does until she settles down with Jess down the road as L. did with Luke. Agree that musicals were too much and HATED the entire LDB scene. Love that Emily got to find a different role for herself - she struggled during the original series with being "just a wife" and she got to in a sense break free and put on sneakers and volunteer at the museum. Really loved that.
