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.

You do know that I didn't say this right? Puffingnoise did. I honestly could care less if people stop watching - you have every right. I've given up several shows (most recently Alias) because I stopped enjoying them.
I actually said that I'm amused by the whole thing, having watched something very similar in JAG last season. A huge segment of the on-line fandom left in outrage over a spoiler (after the quality had declined, as well) only to have the storyline play out completely differently on air. Do I think that's going to happen here? Not really - I think what we're seeing is probably what we're going to get. I just learned my lesson not to pre-judge something before it airs. And there's a whole lot that we don't know yet. Then again, I actually think the spoilers have potential to be interesting, something many people disagree on. You think it's soapy and cliched? You're entitled to that opinion. Just as I'm entitled to my opinion that it could open up some opportunities for interesting stories and character development.
Many of us who are leaving the show are disappointed in where the show has gone over the last several episodes.
Again, as is your right. Personally, I'm enjoying the season, and I know I'm in the minority.
