I'm going to hell
Is it bad that I'm amused by the latest dust up over Gilmore Girls spoilers? All that anger. All the indignation. All the "I'm never watching again!" It's like the great JAG kerfuffle of 2004. I should have more sympathy, but I just find the whole thing so funny because I've been here so many times before. How long do you think until it winds up on fandomwank? I would die if it turned out like JAG, where so many people walked away from the show because of a storyline that played out 100% different than spoilers led us to believe.
For the record, my opion is behind the cut.
I don't think Luke having a daughter he never knew about is destroying his character. Some have said it does because Luke is not the type to have a one-night stand. Says who? I also have never bought into the "Luke is infallible" myth, so maybe that colors my judgement. And who said it was a one-night stand? How a girl getting pregnant and not telling him is his fault, I have no idea. If anything, he's the victim here.
Is it a little soapy? Sure. But so was Rory sleeping with a married Dean. And the whole R/D/J triangle. We also have to remember that the DNA test is performed by a 10-year-old girl. A brilliant 10 year old, but still. I do think she'll end up being really his, but my point is that there a lot of ways this storyline could go and I think the odds of it ruining the show are slim. I am worried about the potential effects on Luke and Lorelai's relationship, but I'm willing to see how it plays out. I really do think that if done well, it could be very interesting.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, of course, and I do feel bad that so many people are upset.
I might be the only one, but I'll still be watching.

(And clearly not working)
Me either, and I need to. I'm only 7 minutes into a certain project for a certain show, and I have 37 more to go and a 3-day meeting that starts in 3 hours. Oy.

I got spoiled by Seattle over the weekend and now I'm stuck in Sitcomville. So not where I'd like to spend my day.

I'm actually in a city with the WB, and will miss GG tonight because it's on at 7 here and I will be "socializing" at a reception. Ugh.
Sorry about sitcomville. I'm to the part of Days of our Hospital where they lay out all the medical crap. I know you of all people feel my pain.
*still not working*

Dude, I would so be skipping the socializing part of the evening. That's just wrong.
