Sigh.

Okay.

So, you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be.. whelmed?

This is how I feel. I think I had built it up too much in my head. Some parts felt authentic, some felt forced and ridiculous and like they were trying to make a romcom movie, blech. Rory's storyline was annoying as fuck. What was even the point of Paul? WHY CAN'T SHE JUST BE WITH JESS? Poor Jess. But really he's better off without her at this point because she's just an annoying spoiled brat that will forever treat men like shit. Okay, now that that's off my chest...

I'm glad they brought back all the old characters, but like someone else said, some of it felt forced and weird. The musical thing was a waste of quality GG time. I'm really happy Lorelai and Luke finally got it together. And I like how they did that. The last words... I kind of expected that. But what now? Will they make more? I need to see if she tells Logan and what they do. Though I'm assuming from her discussion with Christopher she is going to just raise the baby on her own and Logan may never know.

I love you for the bolded. Hope you're okay with that

And did anybody else notice all the Parenthood actors?

Sorry, apparently I have a lot of things to say, lol.

Yes! 
I was like "Hey! It's Amber!"
"Hey! It's Mark!!"
"Oh hey it's Adam!!"

Also, I did not know Peter Krause (Adam) and Lauren Graham were together IRL.

Lol at all the parenthood cameos.

I feel like the episodes could have been an hour and avoided all the nonsense of the musical and Kirk's movie,

Emily's storyline made me happy. She was such a miserable lady that it made me happy to see her finally have some peace and purpose!

Also: wtf to the choreographed "pre" wedding scene? I felt like I was watching Willy Wonka and that scene itself was something GG would have made fun of.

I had actually predicted the pregnancy but I was counting "I'm" as one word and thought "nah, that would be too out of nowhere."
I guess it's Logan's. I was REALLY rooting for Jess

It was good to see them. Im glad it happened. Part of me wonders if I would have loved it more 10 years ago, when my life was still in a more GG appreciative place.
