It's...rough. But necessary. Also, the finale is not the worst IMO.
Full disclosure: I'm sort of a season 7 apologist.
They did the best they could with what they were given.
Full disclosure: I'm also a Seinfeld finale apologist.
I sort of agree. I think David Rosenthal did the best he could, but he's not ASP. I don't think he was necesssarily dealt a shitty hand (even though there were a LOT of loose ends to tie up) but he is not ASP and he never will be

ASP basically admitted that she wrote season six into the ground out of spite knowing she wasn't coming back for seven.

"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

I'm genuinely not trying to be a dick, but do you have a source for this? I've always heard that they were trying to sort out their contracts until the very end and so she couldn't have known ahead of time she wasn't coming back.

It was some tv interview at the time. She didn't spell it out but eluded to being very interested in how the new person tied up what she set up and sort of winked. It's been years now.

I know the contract negotiations started early in the season so I am sure she had a good idea that there was a good chance she wasn't coming back.
It is odd for the network to balk at giving a show runner what they want on a successful series on a network that didn't have many hits. I can't imagine she is easy to work with.
I'm also dying to know the real story with why Melissa Mccarthy wasn't initially asked to come back for A Year in the Life and then later was.
I'd read at first that she wouldn't be on the show because she turned it down. Then I read she was too busy. But then later Melissa said she was never even asked to do the show and of course she would be willing to come back as Sookie.
So bad blood between MMC and ASP?
And while season 7 is bad, I do admit to bawling at the finale. Two parts: one when the camera is panning by the towns people and they are supposed to be waving a Rory but really they are waving at us the audience. (at least that's how I read that scene)
2. When Lorelai tells her parents that she'll still be coming for Friday night dinners. Man that gets me.

I cannot wait for this!
I cry at the panning of the town too. And when Richard tells Lorelai that this party is for her and the life she's made there too and becomes one of those people who have a heart attack and become all reflective. And yeah, when she says they can talk about Emily's crazy idea at dinner.
oh and I found this youtube clip the other day. At the 37 minute mark they are asking about quotes from the show. I cannot believe that Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel don't know Oy with the poodles already and Copperboom. Have I just watched this show too many times? I can see a random line but they didn't remember two of the more popular ones.
