Writing was the genius of ‘Gilmore Girls’
Denise Martin mused that the last “Gilmore Girls” episode drew the series to a comfortable close [“ ‘Gilmore Girls’ Is Sealed With a Kiss,” May 17]. That may be true, but how do the fans erase memories of a dismal seventh-season story line? I think the fans understood these characters better than the creative people behind the show.
How could they replace Diner Luke with a whiny Christopher plotline? Luke and the diner were central to the success of the show and were sadly missed this season.
My friends and I used to call “Gilmore Girls” “Escape to Stars Hollow.” This season we nicknamed it “Escape From Stars Hollow.”
The demise of the show confirms genius writing is what made this show. Hope Amy Sherman-Palladino’s writing resurfaces somewhere soon
