I just rewatched the series recently and even the LL stuff in s6/7 was less painful this time around. It all kind of flowed. Certain behaviors I disliked, but you could kind of see it all coming. There is just so much I love about the show and I'd forgotten that over the last few years.
I must admit that I've only ever watched seasons 6 and 7 in full the once, on my last re-watch I quit in season 6 after Lorelei and Rory were reunited, then skipped straight to the finale. I just remember finding season 6 suuuch a downer first time around, Luke's attitude especially was a real low point for me, especially in the Valentines episode. I should probably give it another go when I do this years re-watch I guess, if nothing else I'm a sucker for Logan and Rory's relationship, so I'll probably miss out on a lot of cute scenes if I don't go past season 5!
The back half of s6 is interesting for RL and LL. Mostly cause I think it reveals inherent character flaws that exist with Lorelai and Luke individually and shoves it in your face. I found Luke was acting silly and self-conscious. But, I guess a part of me kind of understood him. Lorelai had more problems with because she just shut her mouth and sat there and I never understood this passivity of hers. But, I also think that they were building towards a fall from grace for Luke since he'd been pretty much amazing in the relationship up to that point. Lorelai had no problem putting them on indefinite hold when she was fighting with Lorelai but she couldn't or wouldn't give him that same space in regards to Lorelai. It's not that I thought he handled it well. He was careless and had a one track mind. But, I think what he needed was for Lorelai to be insistent that if he was in this, he needed to be in this which included having a say with April. But, LL have always been the King and Queen of miscommunication. I still get annoyed with the finale in terms of them and especially with S7.
