What does critic Mike Ausiello think of this season?
Gilmore uber-fan and critic Ausiello gives his take on this season:
Question: What do you honestly think about Gilmore Girls this season?— Jill Walker
Ausiello: The best compliment I can pay Dave Rosenthal is that it’s no better or worse than last season. On the plus side, I think he’s done a miraculous job of mimicking the Palladino style. Scene for scene, the show looks and sounds like Gilmore Girls (contrary to what the New York Times would have you believe). Unfortunately, DR has also mimicked AS-P’s occasional lapses of judgment, most notably the ill-conceived Lorelai/Christopher union and the so-far-pointless return of Marty. And don’t even get me started on Luke and Anna’s looming custody battle over April. I pray DR has the good sense to settle this dispute out of court. Bottom line: Given the dramatic power shift that occurred behind the scenes, I’m enjoying the season more than I ever thought I would. That said, I wouldn’t be crushed if our Girls packed it in this May. I think I’m ready to let go.
