Revival season of ‘Gilmore Girls’ ruins series

I had never felt more shocked in my life. As a huge fan of “Gilmore Girls,” which ran on CW from 2000-2007, I waited nine years for the final season, titled “Gilmore Girls Revival: A Year in the Life,” to come out. Unfortunately, the final season left me feeling terribly disappointed and let down.

“Gilmore Girls” focuses on the relationship between single-mother Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory Gilmore. It follows Rory’s journey through high school and college and the challenges she faces.

For me, the worst part occurs when Rory reveals that she’s pregnant in the last few seconds of the show. Rory is supposed to have her life together by this point. Fans don’t want to see her make the same mistakes that Lorelai made.

Rory becomes a single, pregnant 32-year-old, who lives in her mom’s house and has no stable job. Even at the end of the show, she is a mess, having no clue what she is doing with her life.

In the final season, she keeps letting go of all the good things in her life, like her boyfriend Logan. They had been together for a solid two seasons and he was finally ready to commit to a long-term relationship.

Instead, she rejects his sweet proposal, and then when she understands the stupidity of her decision, it is too late to get him back.

The fact that she is pregnant with (almost certainly) Logan’s baby reveals their affair, which they tried so hard to keep a secret. Logan was getting together with Rory even though he had a fiance. If people found out about the affair, it would ruin both of their reputations.

How would I rewrite the ending? For one, I would want Rory to be a successful journalist at one of the top publications because she has been working toward this goal her whole life. She worked so hard to get into Harvard so she could pursue a career in journalism but threw everything away for Logan — which was definitely not a smart choice.

I want her to quit being so indecisive and make up her mind on which guy she wants to be with. She has constantly gone back and forth between boys throughout the show. She went from Dean (her high school sweetheart) to Jess and then Logan.

I understand that the writers wanted to shock the audience with a creative end to the show. Still, I wish they understood that fans, including myself, have waited years upon years for closure. We deserved better than this.
