(Mostly Connecticut; contemporary)
IMDb
A true testament to the fact that I have too much time on my hands and need a full-time job, is the fact that I watched all 22 episodes of this in just four days. The sadness factor aside, its not a bad way to watch a season, you retain the emotional and logical continuity of the program to a great degree. Season 6 can basically be divided into two parts, the first 8 episodes focusing on Rory's prolonged 'time-off' from Yale, and the last 14 on Luke's newly discovered daughter April. I admire the strength of the arcs that started to develop again in the 5th season. Seasons 1 and 2 had arcs that fit nicely into the teen/family drama aspects of the show, while seasons 3 & 4 seemed to ride the sentiment of life transitions (graduating high school starting college) for story and momentum (with season 4 seeming the most uneven). After that though, when the Rory character was made more 'adult', things got stronger. This is not to say it wasn't an enjoyable program before, it was, but it progressed to another level starting in season 5, and this season may have been the most dramatically satisfying ever. I even kind of sympathise with the Logan character. Stand out sequences this season include the duel 'Paul Ankia' dream, and the monument to creative editing that is family dinner in 'Friday Nights All Right For Fighting'.
