Ohh so agree that season 7 fixes a lot of what went wrong in season 6. Christopher telling Lorelai about the Sherry letter is such a relief because our Luke trauma has us bracing for yet another THIS COULD BE SOLVED WITH A CONVERSATION situation and then they actually solve it! It made me wonder if I would have rooted for Christopher more all along if he was written by a different person — because ASP could never decide if he was a motorcycle-riding bad boy who couldn't hold a job, or a torch-carrying nerd desperate to marry Lorelai but she was too cool for him, and it always added up wrong. (That said, I really could do without Christopher getting rich(er). One of my least favorite details about him and season 7 really leans in hard!)

I have rewatched season 7 a number of times and I am glad that other people are now agreeing with me that it really is not bad! I had a lot of episodes in season 7 that I did like (the upcoming French Twist notwithstanding because I don’t care how much it made sense for Lorelai to try dating Christopher, it made zero sense to go as far as marrying him to me). I love that Rory seems so much less annoying than she did in season 6 and is getting to act more like her old self.
I may watch the Christmas episode of season 7 with Christmas so close because I did like Lorelai’s letter about Luke.
