This pisses me off. Why bring him back only to say goodbye again? And, if
that wasn't their intention -- considering the total precariousness of a
"season 8" -- they did a piss poor job of communicating any other kind of
ending between Rory and Logan but a bleak one.
Rotten network, rotten showrunner, rotten writers, and misdirected actors.
