I am – Hercules!!

My buddy Michael Ausiello over at TV Guide is still watching the Sherman-Palladino-free season of “Gilmore Girls,” and has scored scoop on the season finale.

It was established early in the first season that young Rory Gilmore’s role model was CNN news-hen Christiane Amanpour, and Rory will now meet Amanpour in the May 8 wrap-up.

It’s an especially cool “get” because, as Ausiello points out, this is likely the last season of the show.

Learn also here in Ausiello’s report that the show has been pursuing Amanpour for some time.
