I bet a lot of you were too.
That’s all it takes to get Christiane’s business card?
But that’s it from me today.

That’s the last time I’ll roll my eyes at season 7.
She wants after-dinner drinks as payback.
Lorelai (Lauren Graham) blanches.
Don’t hold it against him!
), everyone kind of crumples in their seat.
Who cares if their month-long roller-coaster adventure is now toast?
Her daughter has to get on the bus!
Maybe that little girl in the strange purple top will make it after all!
But then Lorelai soothes her by saying, “After-dinner drinks for sure.”
I wanted to cry tonight.
With Rory so suddenly employed, there’s no time to plan the graduation-reenactment party.
She and Lorelai have fanny packs and book lights (miss you, Paris!)
Cut to a cowering line of Stars Hollow’s finest inside.
Kirk (Sean Gunn) offers to DJ.
Oh, Captain K, what I’d do for one of your college mixtapes.
It’s going to rain, and the party will be a washout.
It took me years, but I’m a believer.
Rory, meanwhile, has ducked out from under her mother’s perky wing to say goodbye to Lane.
Unsurprisingly, the scene was unfulfilling.
Suck on that, Gigi!
Back at home, Lorelai’s on an ironing binge to stave off her frantic sense of loss.
I wish I owned an ironing board.
Why don’t I iron?
Thank you, Kirk, for lightening the mood!
So vulnerable, those two!
Nice try, Emily, not buying it!
Later, she corners Lorelai and needles her again about adding a spa element to the Dragonfly.
And then she snapped back to Emily Gilmore.
“Don’t be late and don’t wear jeans!”
Those two will go down as one of my favorite mother-daughter relationships in TV history.
But the delivery was moving without being mushy, and I remain for life a sucker forKelly Bishop.
Cheers for the graceful wrap-up of the endlessly frustrating Luke and Lorelai story.
I don’t want to see him giving her a necklace and promising to make babies that very night.
See you later, girls.
And goodbye to you, Mrs. Kim (Keiko Agena), wherever you are!
But what did you readers think?
Do you feel ambushed by the finale or well taken care of?
You know which line grabbed hold of my throat.
Which one really got to you?
Are you satisfied with the kiss?
Can you picture Rory on a campaign bus?
And how long will you mournGilmore Girlsbefore you pick a new TV show to obsess about?
What’s in the running?
