I haven't seen ROJJ yet as for some reason I've been on a movie kick
the last four nights, watching only LOST and Olbermann off TV, but I
do try to not come into a show bringing any excess baggage with me and
try to look at the given show, movie, story, character on whether or
not it succeeds on its own terms. Reviewers, however, have set the
bar fairly low for me regarding ROJJ.
1) That said, Alexis's "I'm Reed Fish" doesn't look appealing to me as
it looks like she's just playing Rory but a Rory with less
intelligence
2) That said #2, I hated Canterbury's Law, deleted it in the first
five minutes and enjoyed New Amsterdam. Don't know what Canterbury
has gotten in the reviews, but New Amsterdamn was IMO unfairly
savaged.

I noted this in the thread ROTJJ (Was: Re: House) elsewhere here on
ROJJ. Oh, and as for that T in Return of Jezebel James. Apparently,
I think that the show is supposed to be named Return Of The Jezebel
Jedi.
>Amy ... just make a GG movie and clean up the mess you left!
Amy didn't leave the mess.
1) The CW/WB did when it didn't give her the two year renewal that she
asked for so that she wouldn't drop dead from exhaustion and 2) Alexis
did by leaving the show without it getting a real finale.

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.
