Sure we always say we want them to see happy, having a family - the whole package - together. But I´ll assure you that the rates would go down. Sure you would watch or LL fans would watch but the rest would just switch to some good old drama.
Quote: | DR may think he's telling some deep psychological story. Or he may just have wanted to attract viewers with some "easy breezy" CL scenes after last year's unremitting angst. | "Easy breezy" scenes? Given the fact that they are in a relationship and now even married may include some of this easy breezy-ness. But just take a closer look at some of Lorelais comments to Sookie or to Rory and read the subcontext of some comments she made to Chris. I don´t want to list them one by one since it would be to long. But there are some happy scenes as THEY ARE HAPPY. Because LORELAI WANTS TO BE HAPPY NOW. Not thinking about the past. And that she´s a good actor was proven in S6. I am not saying she pretends to be happy but that she is bottling up all the pain and pretends that none of it happened.
Quote: | Online, critics are calling her a "skank".
Offline, people say Lorelai's changed, "the new writers destroyed her character". With the show's deteriorating dialogue, it leaves less and less reason to remember to tune in. | Well I guess critics can be wrong - I heard it happened.
But other than that: authentic characters change and don´t stay the same. Some call it bad dialogue and some call it developement of character.
Quote: | Around here, we boycott, we get angry, or we just can't face C/L. Out there, most viewers with busy lives simply don't bother. | I understand when some fans fast forward the LC scenes. Or they just don´t look an episode because it´s to painful - but you still have to be objective up to a certain point and not apply to double standard just because you don´t like a certain turn of events.
Quote: | Because ASP was trying to break up LL and DR is trying to keep CL together for 13 episodes.
Sometimes it's that simple. | But going down to this level - because ASP/DR wrote them to act like this - makes the whole discussion thread pretty pointless - don´t you think?
Instead you could ask why did they wrote it like this? Why did he have them act like this? What was the intention behind it? |
