No rerun. Only VM repeats.
Those are two new episodes of Veronica Mars that air at 8/7c and at 9/8c on 22nd of May. The latter one is the season finale.

May 22 is the double VM Final, not re-runs.

Isn't that what PeppiJoMars said above, or am I missing a difference?

Ah it's going to be the series finale labeled as season finale I don't know if the CW can lose another show. Ok VM didn't bring in any ratings but that doesn't seem to bother them.

Did you guys see the Washington Post article about the finale tonight ? Some nice and honest words from Kelly, Ed and Liza

Yep, not good to have lead actors bad mouthing the final before it airs, I just hope it's a good ep, I'm not holding hope that it will be a good SERIES FINAL let alone season final, at this point I'm hoping for the best.

Very interesting quotes about the finale from all three of them. I'll have to see how my opinion of the finale matches up with theirs.

And boy were they right Kelly really found the right words for the bs ending we got tonight.

As you said. They were right:

Is This Really Goodbye, 'Girls'?
'Gilmore' Fans May Be Unhappy With the Show's Abrupt Ending


By Jennifer Frey
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 15, 2007; C01

For seven years there are those who have been a bit obsessed with Lorelai and Rory, the "Gilmore Girls." It started with that freakishly near-perfect mother-daughter thing they have going. Helped along by the rapid-fire dialogue "Gilmore" is known for, they are two halves of the same whole, finishing each other's sentences, each seemingly telegraphing the other's thoughts.

The other object of fascination is Luke, diner guy, the one who always had the thing for Lorelai (and she for him). The one who was a better father-figure to Rory than her real dad ever was. The one who indulged their addictions to caffeine and fries.

Will Luke and Lorelai ever get married? That is the tantalizing, and ever-lingering, question, one that is evergreen in romantic comedies and dramas (think Carrie and Mr. Big on "Sex and the City" or Rachel and Ross on "Friends").

But what if there is no answer?

Forget closure, people. It appears the fans are the ones getting left at the altar.

(Spoiler alert, for those "Gilmore" fans who for some reason haven't been hanging on every utterance from Lauren Graham, who plays Lorelai. She disclosed that although the couple are headed in a positive "direction" -- as she put it to TV Guide -- there ain't no wedding.)

Tonight, "Gilmore Girls" comes to an end after seven seasons -- six on the now-extinct WB, the current one on the CW -- and, according to more than one cast member, the conclusion is less than satisfying. (The network did not provide an advance copy of the episode.) One of those shows that had only decent ratings but a tremendously loyal following, "Gilmore" wraps up in a way that series regular Kelly Bishop describes as "disrespectful" to fans.

"There's so much written into that script, it almost seemed as if -- certainly with my character, certainly with Lorelai and Luke -- that we were ready to move on to the next story line," says Bishop, who plays Emily Gilmore, Lorelai's often prickly mother. "That we were ready to begin the next season in the very next moment . . . I see a series of dots after the last scene of the show, rather than a period, or better yet, an exclamation point."

There was a sense this was coming. After contract negotiations with its two stars (Graham and Alexis Bledel, who plays Rory) dragged on, "Gilmore" wrapped its season finale before it was certain that it would also be the series finale. For a brief blip, hope surged that the show would return for an abbreviated 13-episode season in the fall. But the network pulled the plug a few weeks ago.

"I felt like the bottom dropped out," Bishop says. "I thought [the 13-episode season] was excellent because we could really wrap up the stories nice and neat and kind of give the audience a chance to say goodbye."

Truth is, the show has been ready to go for a while now. Last year, series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino left, and David Rosenthal took over as the show's supervisor. The writing, says Edward Herrmann (who plays Richard Gilmore, Lorelai's father), then "tended to lose a little of its sharp edges." And there were plot twists that irked the faithful. Lorelai married Rory's biological father in a spur-of-the-moment wedding in France, a detour that has since been disposed of. Logan, Rory's debatable boyfriend, proposed in the middle of a formal graduation party at her grandparents' house -- a move that any Gilmore fan would consider cringeworthy.

So it comes to this: In the penultimate episode, which aired last week, Rory said no to Logan's proposal. Which is probably a good thing, given that she's only 22 and she's incredibly brilliant and she doesn't need to be limiting her future career to a 60-mile radius of where he's already chosen to live. Still, did he really mean it when he said it was all or nothing? Marry me or you're dumped? Whoa. Some whiplash there. There must be some fallout coming on this one . . . oops. Nope. No time left for that.

Luke and Lorelai, meanwhile, are in another one of those moments where they are misreading signals and not talking to each other about how they feel and generally stalling on their way to a magnificent future together. We think.

"There are suggestions that it would be resolved that way," Herrmann says, "but we'll never know, because we didn't know it was going to be over. You don't have the emotionally satisfying moments. After seven years, each of those storylines needs its own episode, almost."

What will happen will be a town-wide graduation party for Rory, one last hurrah for the fictional hamlet of Stars Hollow, with all its quirky and endearing regulars -- Sookie and Jackson, Lane and Zack, Kirk and Taylor, Miss Patty and Babette. With such a crowded final setting, Bishop says, it was hard to have many intimate moments.

"It's unfortunate that, I think, a lot of those fans are going to think there isn't closure," says Liza Weil, who plays Rory's best friend, Paris, and who points out that the writers were hamstrung by the situation. "Hopefully, there won't be toilet paper in the trees of all the writers."

Then again, Weil got her conclusion. She's off to Harvard Medical School, and she had a final goodbye hug with Rory in last week's episode. She's not in tonight's finale, and only vaguely knows how it wraps up.

No one from the production end of the show was willing to talk, but this much we were told: The pilot for "Gilmore" started with Lorelai in the diner, holding out her coffee mug, begging Luke for her sixth cup of caffeine for the morning. Shortly after, she was joined by Rory. And, in the final scene tonight, it will once again be Luke, Lorelai and Rory hanging out in the diner. And they'll be headed in a good "direction," to once again quote Graham.

Only where that direction leads them, there's no way to know.
The CW's comment line was full five minutes after the finale aired on the East Coast - and still full today. Guess they're scared of that toilet paper. Lol.

I wonder if there was tension on set... Lauren seems satisfied, Alexis, not a word. The rest of the cast? Pretty outraged...

Alexis never says much.

I wouldn't say outraged, but they did lose their jobs and it had nothing to do with them. Negotiations didn't involve them. All they could do was sit back and wait.

About Alexis... very true! I understand how aggrevating it can be, but I would have thought they would have concluded all-together that they should just avoid giving their opinions out loud to not create tensions, etc.

I'm happy to have their opinions; I really am. I just find it hard for (yes, I am a die-hard fan of hers) Lauren Graham. She's the one that supported the series finale episode, she's basically taking the blame completely alone for the not-return of season 8 (cause Alexis is not talking) and therefore, needs to justify the reason the show is ending.

She passed for the bad guy during her TV Guide interview and then Scott comes in, saying LL did not get a satisfying ending, which is the opposite of his co-star. Scott becomes the JavaJunkie's hero (and with reason, cause he's such a gentleman!), but Lauren passes of as the diva and... bleh.

Just my 0,02$.
