What unanswered questions? They all live happily ever after, silly!

I guess I am just not ready for the show to end.

I'm not ready for it to end either. Le sigh. I'm going to miss Luke and Lorelai but I'm satisfied where it left off, I got weepy a few places in the show. I really enjoyed it as a series finale. The moment with Lane and Rory was especially poignant. Good-bye Gilmore Girls!

Ending it where it started at Luke's was a very nice touch. Now I wish the show could come back for just one more season. I know, silly isn't it. But there are so many unanswered questions. Aww. What'd you think was unanswered, barrie? For the first time, in quite a while, I thought it was a really good series finale of all the shows I've watched. The series didn't get stale, I don't think it really ended abruptly, though it may have seemed that way to viewers, with the announcements and all. It seemed like the writers and producers (or whoever has control over these things, I have no idea what those people really do) probably knew what was coming. A couple months before they announced that this was going to be the series finale, I was looking at Melissa McCarthys IMDB page for some reason, and they had her listed on a new pilot in the fall. If that episode was only slated to be a season finale, I don't know what they'd do next season. It just seemed so final. Everyone there, saying goodbye. I totally cried like a little girl, too. I'm glad I watched it by myself. haha.

I guess I am a creature of habit. It is hard to let a habit go...

This really was the best way they could've left it. The only thing that bugs me is that I wish Logan hadn't asked Rory to marry him, and that they'd left it unanswered how things would go between them. I actually liked them together.
The last scene between Luke and Lorelai was perfect IMO. I was dreading the inevitable sappy scene, but it was done in such an understated and classy way that I ended up appreciating it. Some of the old chemistry was back.
Richard and Emily were perfect as well, but they almost always are.
The only time I teared up was when Lorelai went into Rory's room at night and looked at her sleeping. It was such a powerful scene.
The final scene was really fitting as well. Good job all around!

I really enjoyed it, too. It seemed like the perfect season finale, with almost all the peripheral characters making small appearances, the younger character moving on to bigger things, and the seasoned character staying with what has worked all along.
The only way I can justify in my mind that the town was so infatuated with Rory is because it is a small town, and people are overly invested in their favourite "cool" people, and because Lorelai arrived there very young and helpless, and the townies just sort of rallied 'round and helped her raise her baby. So to them, Rory belongs to them all. ::shrug::

I agree, Mugsy.
I loved it when Logan said she should take whatever job she got and he would factor that into his plans. How cool if it had ended with a man making his career choices around a woman? The only other time I can think of a show doing that was "Wings."

Yep, but because she wanted to put her career first instead of his, he ended the relationship. Sometimes I think this show is really anti-feminist.

No, I think Logan ended it because Rory didn't really factor him in at all. As mentioned by Peggy Lane, Logan said he would adjust his career plans around hers. But Rory didn't want him following her around, I guess, because it implied more of a commitment than she was willing to give.
Sure, Rory said they could maintain a long-distance relationship, but she didn't sound very sincere or enthusiastic, and I think Logan knew that he was being put on the back burner for now. He was ready for a serious commitment at this point in his life, and knew he wouldn't get it from Rory. So he walked away instead, figuring it would be easier now than later. At least that's how I see it.
Rory's life ended up being according to her choice, not an anti-feminist statement by the writers at all.
