Unto The Breach

[ISmellSnow · 7/10 · 25 January 2021]

It's graduation time for Rory, we've finally made it. How awesome is it that we end the series at Rorys college graduation?

Emily and Richard throw Rory a graduation party where Logan proposes. She is shocked and slightly embarrassed. She asks him to come with her outside where she tells him she's not so sure and needs time to think. Rory and Lorelai talk and Lorelai basically tells her she needs to make this decision on her own.

Graduation day arrives and it's super emotional. Afterwards, Logan and Rory approach each other and Rory tells Logan that she won't marry him. He tells her it's all or nothing at all. They end up breaking up and even if you're not a Logan fan, it's quite a sad scene.

the awful episode

[pinkjjjez · 8 January 2009]

I thought this was an awful episode. Logan and Rory clearly loved each other loads so why did she say NO to him? And at this point Rory hadn't got a job anywhere so why didn't she say yes to working in San Francisco? And Logan wasn't being selfish asking her to come live with him in San Francisco!!! I thought that Rory should have been happier about the proposal it was all a bit subdued. I was very disappointed and a bit angry about this episode. I think the ending should of been them getting married. And they shouldn't have split up why did they have to either get married or split up i thought that was just plain daft!!! altogether I was VERY Disappointed with the end of Gilmour Girls.

Rory did the right thing.

Rory was right to decline Logan's proposal. If she really thought it was the best decision for her, she would not have hesitated to say yes. She wanted more, career and life wise, and there's nothing wrong with that. Rory did what was best for her & she never looked back. Even in the revival, she was flawed but still determined.

The Big Letdown

[Aqtania-1 · 2/10 · 15 October 2007]

This episode was not only a huge letdown but was certainly the worst written episode in this great show's history. What should have been a celebration of Rory's long-awaited graduation and the conclusion of a fine television series was turned into a rushed and far-fetched episode. Almost all the characters were written out-of-character and the story was incredible. Just two weeks after Rory showed Logan around her home town and again showed her love for this man she suddenly found it quite easy to say no to a sincere and loving marriage proposal. Even though she was considering a possible job offer in San Francisco she still said no? Errors in characters and story abounded here. Chris was all for a marriage at Lane's wedding last year. Then he was surprised and worried at the graduation? Richard was all pro-Logan from the start but looked overly embarrassed at the party. The worst was Lorelai who talked nicely to Logan's face but then was the picture of negativity behind his back. It was not a good image for Lorelai. Did she really think that Logan wouldn't propose after a nearly three year relationship with Rory? Then she told Rory she had done the right thing in saying no. I was all for Rory having a career but it is a complete insult to think she had to choose between a career and a husband. Apparentally the two writers of this episode forgot that this is the 21st Century and women no longer have to make these types of choices. Rory & Logan didn't have to get married or even engaged to end this series. But the way this contrived break-up was handled was an insult to the viewers. It was a sad and unnecessary ending here.

Unto the Breach

I have to smile, really, that in this day and age, anyone would attempt to introduce feminism into this wonderful episode on behalf of Rory Gilmore. Her emergence as an adult graduating from Yale is well written and portrayed in this episode. And her treatment of Logan is also in keeping with her personality. I found no difficulty in accepting her choices in this show regarding Logan, her future as a Yale graduate and her feelings about her friends and family.

As for Luke and Lorelai, their impending relationship, post marriage with Christopher, is, yes, somewhat rushed. It seems things were left hanging in order to get to the next episode, the final episode. Yet together, this show and the last one (Bon Voyage) do justice to what we all wanted to see - a final resolution between these two.

And we get it! Now you have to use some imagination, which is difficult for some who want to see everything spelled out. But I feel secure in knowing that they very likely did marry and live happily ever after. Both were faced with the loss every parent faces - their kids growing up and moving on. Given the alternatives of future life in their small town, it is only natural that they likely gravitated towards each other. Everything written to date, in my humble opinion, points towards such an ending, even though we never get to see it.

Imagination is a wonderful thing and so thank you Amy for leaving us to dream a bit about the futures of the characters in Gilmore Girls. Special thank you to Lauren Graham for her upbeat and often alluring portrayal of the single mom. How in the world Luke took so long to avoid colliding with this beautiful woman is beyond me?

I wanted some catharsis.

It was a rushed episode.

Don't know why Logan choose to ruin Rory's graduation. Don't know why Rory decided to say no to Logan's marriage proposal. Yes, she was going to have less job opportunities, but the fact that she said no to something and got nothing in return should be a hint, but sometimes life is like this: choosing wrong all the time. Rory is like that, and Lorelai also.

Those two gossip women at the dinner ruined the incipient sparkle between Luke and Lorelai. She said something that didn't mean and Luke is stupid enough to not noticed that saying that to those women wasn't the truth, but here we are, 1 episode to the end and writers showing how so many people could be so stupid.

I wanted some catharsis.
