By the time you get to a 7th or 8th season you don't need "Drama" in the relationships. You need long time couples to function well together and deal with life as a unit. All "Drama" does at this point is make people hate the main characters.

I have no problems with Rory and Logan not getting married. In fact, I think it is too soon for them take that step.

See, that's exactly what any typical guy would think. What really gets me is that DSR is a guy; so he should know exactly what would go through a guy's mind at that moment, which would be some variation of: "she never really loved me".

I had a dream about R/L last night, that ties into the recent spoilers and this season. So many of you guys have said how this season has showed R/L's relationship in such a positive light, how they were moving forward romantically and how out of the blue this rejection is.

Re-watching the episodes of this season, I'd notice 'hints' that I didn't notice before signalling that Rory didn't love Logan enough for a future with him...But obviously, these 'rewatches' weren't what actually happened in the episodes we saw, thank goodness. And it painted Rory in the really terrible light. Examples... It was episode 7.05 (in my dream), and Logan was leaving to go back to London...they share a long goodbye because Rory can't stop giving him a last kiss goodbye, and neither can he...very cute and loving. Logan says something about the future (hinting he is ready for marriage) and Rory, instead of responding, sucks his face to avoid the topic. Then Logan says "I love you Rory" and Rory says... "I'm in love with you, I think" Logan gets pissed..."You think you love me?" Rory tries to defend herself...and he leaves.

'Cause the writers wrote them as such a strong couple that they thought the only "credible" and "believable" way of breaking them up was this cruel travesty?

'Cause Rory never really loved Logan?

'Cause Rory thinks that Logan is not good enough to get married to?

'Cause Logan always loved Rory more that she ever loved him?

'Cause DSR hates Sophies? (Since this is the WORST possible ending they could give this ship.)

'Cause, after two and a half years, all of a sudden (since 7.17), Rory hates Logan's "grand gestures"?

'Cause he didn't propose "on her terms"?

'Cause Logan thought Rory was his "one", while Rory thought Logan was her "college experience"?

'Cause DSR got amnesia and forgot all about the "True Love" of 7.01?

'Cause Rory forgot all about the angst and love she felt in Partings?

All of the above?

Does Rory know anything about romantic relationships? I think how she responds to Logan's proposal will show that. And I actually think, how she handles that might show whether she's more mature than her mom. If she's really not ready for marriage, she'd be unwise to say yes. Because saying yes without being ready would be similar to what Lorelai did in Paris. I don't know what implications that would have for Logan. I do think he'd be crushed. But dating someone and committing to them for life are two different things, and if Logan is ready for lifelong commitment and Rory isn't, then maybe they shouldn't be together. On the other hand, if Logan is just proposing impulsively, it would be nice to think that Rory could recognize that and tell him she's not ready but neither is he, really, and her no is only a "not yet."

It almost feels like I'm talking about the wrong show...this is the same R/L we've been watching for THREE seasons now right??!!! I didn't fall into some sort of worm hole where Logan has always been an asshat did I?????

Why would the writers want to leave viewers with a final image of Rory sad because she's just lost a longtime boyfriend? Unless, as people have said, it's to give the message that it's fine to be single...making Rory the new, young Lorelai?

By the time you get to a 7th or 8th season you don't need "Drama" in the relationships. You need long time couples to function well together and deal with life as a unit. All "Drama" does at this point is make people hate the main characters.

WTF????!!!!!! DID I MISS THIS SOMEWHERE.... please say it ain't so!!!!!!! Although with what else has been spoiled so far this is quite the possibility to kick all sophies while they're down!!! FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAK!!!!!!

If Rory had been written as having doubts all this time, then yes, absolutely she should turn down the proposal. But that's not how she's been written this season. Think about the glee on that girl's face when she figured out what the rocket meant. Think about the talk of belonging to each other. Think of every frakkin scene with these two prior to the last episode. But suddenly she's not ready for a lifelong commitment.

They aren't simply dating. They lived together. They cared enough about the relationship to make it work despite living on different continents. You don't put yourself through the hell of a long distance relationship if you're not thinking long term.

I think it's clear by his actions all season long that he's been thinking about this. And you don't have white horses and a carriage if you're proposing on impulse.

So shoot one end with Logan and Rory coming together in the end of the last ep, maybe no to get married or engaged but "I was stupid" "no I was" they kiss and make up. So giving the fans hope that in their minds they end the series together and maybe moving off to SF to live and start a new live together?
