On the evening of Logan’s (Matt Czuchry) graduation from Yale, Rory (Alexis Bledel) throws him a wild party, but the knowledge that he is being forced to leave for London the next day makes their time together bittersweet. Meanwhile, at a Friday night dinner, Emily (Kelly Bishop) and Richard (Edward Herrmann) attempt to set Christopher (David Sutcliffe) up with an attractive young woman (guest star Melora Hardin).

I really don't feel like typing my whole reaction out right now, I'll just say I hate the Palladinos and glad they are gone. Haha, but I was so excited that they mentioned Maryland in this ep! I always yell/talk to the tv lol and when Lorelai was talking to Luke about Maryland I was like "Then you can come to Baltimore and see me" haha, I'm such a dork.

But when Lorelai was talking to the psychiatrist about how for the past couple of years she has been so unhappy and not how she wants to live her life, and how she's ready for the next chapter in her life, it reminded me of Lauren's real life. I know it's not exactly like it, but for the past few years she has missed so many things and is now ready to move on. I'm not saying she's unhappy, I just thought it was interesting lol. Maybe it's just me, cuz I don't think ASP did that on purpose.

Too sad/pissed/in shock to type right now..

I hate Luke & The Palladinos. I love the troubadours.

And Logan reminds me of House with his cane

laurengraham

The troubadours were awesome! I loved that one guy's line about Hawaii and Hello and Goodbye using the same word. lol

I still can't believe Lorelai did that. I know she was upset, but if she loves Luke that much..why?!

SoSaysI81

I think the whole end scene is a bit deceiving. Or..at least I hope DR can clean it up or turn it into something good.
I hope the 'ultimatum' that Lorelai gave Luke makes Luke realize his faults over that pass few months. It's is how April fits into their lives and not how they fit into April's life. I know Lorelai will learn how to work with April (hello, Super Cool Party People!) and Luke has too realize that. He's taken enough damn time to get to know April on his own. Now Lorelai has to get to know her. But seems like she's dug herself into a deeper hole with Loser Man.

Lovely John That's the best one that you've made.

No, the Lauren ones were hilarious, I just needed to see something Anti-Amy like that

J.Stone

You know, I almost feel relieved that the season is over. Now we can look forward to a better next year. (I hope)

LG rocks my socks

Did you actually watch the finale, John?

J.Stone

Not at the time. I watched it after. I dont want to be part of the "Cable Rating" thing. Bad work should not be rewarded.

laurengraham

Could Amy have been any nicer with the finale? Oh wait, that's a stupid question..of course she couldn't have. That's just the way she is.

whatever, I'm going to bed. Night everyone!

J.Stone

Take care, and try to sleep well.

LG rocks my socks

Ok, my heart hurts, but Lauren knocked me on my ass this episode. Everything she did was amazing... I liked the epi, hated the ending...

Eppisode 6.22 Partings

Best Parts:
1. Lorelai telling Luke she Loved him.
2. The Trubidors I loves them and yes Libbie I think I spotted you.
3. Rory's Building very funny.
4. I liked the little cop, Taylor called.
5. The Party Rory thrugh very nice.
6. Sookie and Jackson trying to be quite not to wake Lorelai.
7. I thought Emily was Funny in this eppy espicaly when she yelled at the maid and ask if she fired her yet.
8. Miss Patty telling Luke to take dance and that he would look good in tights Luke's reaction was priceless.

Worse Parts:
1. The End. I hate Christoper I hate him. He took advantage of Lorelai. Lorelai was depressed and unstable and he took advantage of that he sleep with her and to me that is the same as Rape. I have lost all liking i had of the Bastard.
2. Luke not eloping right then and useing April as an excuse.
3. The talk between Michem and Rory I thought it was missing something and really didn't fit to me.
4. The Shrink giving Lorelai advice we all know if Lorelai had not talked to her she would not have given Luke the Ultimatum.
5. I didn't like Lorelai avoiding Luke.
6. Rory british accent at the party I found it a little lame.
7. Chris Running in the bath room he could have knocked.
8. Logan leaving
9. The Fact that this is the last eppy till September.

Over all it was a good eppisode I give it a 7 basicly because it made me hate a character I used to like.
