We had a season and a half to see L/L together and happy as a couple, which is more than the fans of these shows got, and we'll end with them in a good place.
I'm still angry at the SherPa, but I don't feel "betrayed" or "lied to" by anyone this season. I feel DSR made a good faith effort to clean up the mess Amy and her little dog Danny left behind, and I believe he was telling what he truly felt was a good story. I hated the story he told, and I may have sometimes scratched my head at the execution, but he gave us some nice moments, and the last few episodes have shown that he can do good things with this show once he gets out from under the SherPa's crap pile.
As for the negotiations? Stuff happens. No one lied to us, because there was never any official word either way until the end. We were counting on rumors and mistaken "inside sources," and we were wrong.
I feel sorry for anyone who says that the last season has "tainted" the earlier episodes for them. I don't see this season as a betrayal of anything that came before it--characters made very bad decisions based on pain and anger, and I hated what some of them did, but it doesn't negate what happened earlier. I'm taking the long view of the show and its characters, and I understand that sometimes they had to through rough patches and dark spots in their stories.
I'm excited about the finale. It may not be completely satisfactory, but it sounds like it will leave everyone--L/R, L/L, L/E/R--in a nice place. It'll be easier to leave Stars Hollow knowing Rory is off on a grand adventure, L/L have found their way back to each other, Lorelai and Emily reach some sort of understanding, and the Townies are still their crazy, lovable, generous selves. __________________ Founder and High Priestess, First Church of Coffee, Backward Baseball Caps and Flannel-Covered Biceps (Reformed)
