I hate most sequels to popular tv programmes. Just let them go! Let us imagine how the rest of the lives of beloved characters went in our own way. It's never going to be the same as when they (and we) were young, and watching them try to recreate the golden days is just depressing! They keep going on about a sequel to Fraiser. Nooooooo!!!

Oh, I’ve watched the sequel to Frasier! But that’s another story for another day 😃 I do dread thinking what they might try to revive next…

Thank you for talking about this!

And I will need to defend Rory for a second: As much as I disliked a lot of creative decisions in the Gilmore Girls reboot, to me, Rory is clearly going through something, maybe depression, maybe burnout after being the gifted kid for so long and bearing all the expectations that came with it.

This reminds me to post my rant about the Digimon movie that had everyone sobbing and me going "huh?"

Yes, she does seem to be going through something, but I don't think the show articulated it well, and there was too much dancing around with hats and crows, plus that ending... yikes.

Yes, I could have lived without the bizarre Life & Death Brigade montage and Logan being a cheater.

100%! So much of the show went on irrelevant and disappointing tangents, I kept thinking, "We haven't got time for this!"

Like the lengthy musical that probably only existed to give Sutton Foster a role?
