Too Hot to even make vague comments about before the spoiler space.

I'm experimenting with a different format this time, pasting
Ausiello's article in full for reading purposes, then going back item
by item with my comments afterward. For replies, I suggest deleting
everything between the bottom end of the spoiler space and the end of
Ausiello's post/the start of my comment section.

I've Seen the Gilmore Girls Finale!
http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800001032

When the screener DVD arrived Friday morning from Warner Bros. I was
both excited and terrified. I was excited that I wouldn't have to wait
until May 9 to watch the Gilmore Girls season finale. But I was also
terrified because this in many ways could end up being the show's
series finale. Sure, Gilmore Girls will be back next season, but
without Team Palladino at the helm, who really knows what version of
Gilmore Girls we'll be getting?

So after staring at the DVD all weekend, I finally popped it in two
hours ago, and now I'm here to tell the tale: Overall, it was a good
Gilmore Girls episode. Had AS-P gone a little lighter on Taylor and
the troubadours — and excised that unfortunate final scene you may
have heard something about — it probably would have been a great
episode.

Still, there was much to love. Here are some highlights
(spoilerphobes, read at your own risk):

1) Lorelai does something she's never done before — and in the front
seat of a car. And when it was over, I saw her in a whole new light.

Dr. Woodard...

Dr. Woodard...

Dr. Woodard...

Dr. Woodard...

2) Lorelai finally utters the L word to Luke. And not just once, but
twice.

3) As anticipated, Lorelai's backbone grew back just in time for her
to confront Luke about April, Anna and the wedding. It was as if she
logged onto TVGuide.com, studied all of your angry comments over the
past six months and condensed them into one three-minute monologue.

4) Kelly Bishop has at least five classic lines, two of which are
directed at her maid.

5) As I hinted in last week's AA, Logan and Rory's final scene is a
tear-jerker.

6) Mary Lynn Rajskub can't carry a tune to save her life, and trust me
when I tell you that's a good thing.

I'll spill more in Wednesday's Ask Ausiello.
