GO BACK, BACK TO THE BASICS!

Gilmore Girls has always praised itself on the mother/daughter relationship of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore, but in recent seasons that dynamic has disappeared. The show is now, more than ever, centered on Lorelai's and Rory's relationships with males. Yes, it's great that they find companionship, and of course, it's only natural that Rory goes off to college. But phone calls and surprise visits does not give viewers, especially this viewer, the central relationship that past seasons have thrived on. It feels forced and not Gilmore. I want that relationship back, we need that relationship!

Buying the DVDs and watching them over and over only reminds me of what it is I'm missing. No Stars Hollow days; no Rory and Lorelai breakfast or dinner dates. Instead, we are stuck with Rory making goo-goo eyes at Logan, her following him around like a little puppy dog, Lorelai throwing her best diatribes at Luke and Lorelai chasing an imaginary wedding. This is not good. It is not what I signed up for. I signed up for Lorelai and Rory's wake-up calls, their morning routines, their movie nights and all the other Gilmore goodies. So hear me now showrunners. Go back, back to the basics!
