Exactly. There would have been an obvious build up to it. Rory and Logan breaking up would have been painful for me to watch no matter what, but I doubt I would be left wondering where it was coming from if ASP was still in charge. And I don't think it would have been done in such a way that made me never want to watch the show again. I never felt like tuning out when Rory and Logan broke up or had problems in season 6.

Also, I don't think ASP would have had them break up in 721 unless she knew for certain there was going to be a season 8. In DSR's mind, this is, apparently, a satisfying end to the series for Rory. I don't think ASP would have felt the same way.

The way the rift ended didn't bother me because it seemed true to life for me. Things get swept under the rug all the time, only to resurface later. I always figured ASP would bring back issues from the rift before the series ended, though. There was just too much there for her not to. I could be wrong.

That's what bugs me most about DSR. He has centered this show around Lorelai. Everything runs through Lorelai, even things that she should have no involvement in. I always felt there were two leads when ASP was in charge. There were times when one or the other was more of a focus, based on what was going on in each storyline. But it never felt like either Rory or Lorelai was an afterthought the way Rory has seemed at times this season. I don't feel like he cares about Emily and Richard either. And, considering what's about to happen, I think it's clear he thinks Logan is disposable.
