Well, we're two episodes into the new season (with new showrunner and writer) of the Gilmore Girls and I can officially say I'm not feeling it. I agree with a lot of critics who say that the characters we love just seem painted into a corner all of a sudden: Lane is pregnant, Lorelai has cheated on her fiance, Luke is being a dickhead to Lorelai, Christopher has pinned all his dreams on Lorelai, and Rory is alone because her boyfriend has gone to London for a year.
So I don't like what Amy Sherman-Paladino left us with as she exited the show last year. But what I do miss is her writing. Though Lorelia and Rory are still snappy and fun, there just doesn't seem to be any heart to the writing anymore. It's like the characters are going through the motions.
But if it makes anyone feel better, Veronica Mars is still rocking it hard this year. The show is getting better and better. Yay, Vern!
