Well, hypothetically speaking, if the show happened to so improve
creatively from the mere entertaining competence that it's at right
now to ultra-phenomenon status again, one could then hardly blame NBC
if they were to uncancel it at the end of next season. Since that's
unlikely, I expect that next season will remain the show's last. This
time for sure.
Unless Ben Silverman is even more stupid than he looks -- which is
like Gg's Kirk, only waaaaaaaay less intelligent.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
