Today were going to be talking about Gilmore Girls - Long over due!
I have just finished watching all 360 minutes of the revival - again - and
here are my thoughts, opinions, and random mentions about 'Winter'.
The show opens with some favourite lines from the first 7 seasons such as:
~ "How many cups have you had this morning?
none
plus
five but yours is better"
~ "I got kissed! And I shoplifted!"
and
~ "I Smell Snow"
Just to name a few of the great quotes they have included in the revival
of what is, in my opinion, one of the best shows ever made, ever!
Lorelai and Rory meet at the gazebo in the tow square, where Rory is just off a
flight from London. The girls promptly share coffee, gifts, and food for their walk
about the town to quickly catch up on the goings on of Stars Hollow, and Rory get
her copy of the Stars Hollow gazette. Rory is home.
Rory has an absurd number of cell phones and nothing seems to be working for her,
Lorelai is living with Luke, and Emily is struggling to move on after Richard passed
on as well as holding a semi well deserves grudge with Lorelai for the things said at
Richards memorial.
Emily has commissioned a ginormous painting of Richard right by the drink cart,
wears jeans!!, gets into a fight with Lorelai where some incredibly hurtful things are
said, sees a therapist, and starts throwing away all things that give her no joy. Its a
rollercoaster.
The Gilmore matriarch has a whole slew of people move into her home speaking a
language no one has ever heard before - including a UN translator - Its nice to see
Emily change and be more caring towards her staff; however, on the other hand it
is very odd and completely unemily!
Rory is bouncing from place to place - London, New York, Stars Hollow - and
doesn'thave a concrete job. The young Gilmore girl is also hooking up with
Logan when in London despite the fact that the man is engaged! and she has
an oh so forgettable boyfriend Paul.
Rory's belonging are spread across loved ones houses - as she has no place
of her own - and she can't seem to locate anything she wants, namely her red dress.
Rory is trying to write a book with a crazy lady and it is not working out for her,
mostly because the lady is a bit scattered in her thoughts, and actually working on
the book.
Lorelai is still at the Dragonfly; however it appears as though her heart is no
longer in it, Sookie is gone, and Michele wants out to get more money for
the baby his husband may have 'ordered'. Luke has become bitter about a longer
list of things, and gives out a whole lot of wrong wifi passwords, but is still making
food in the diner on the corner for the hungry people of the little town in Connecticut.
Kirk and Lulu are thinking of babies, so doing what may be the best thing, the
town pulls together to buy the couple a little pink pig! Petal who is super cute! Kirk
starts ööö-ber, a sound which annoys Lorelai to the point of beaning Kirk with someone
else' bagels; however, ööö-ber is promptly ended when Kirk is contacted by Uber lawyers.
Paris makes a large splash into the first of four episodes by potentially setting
Luke and Lorelai up with a surrogacy baby - that turns out not to happen. Paris
is super successful, wildly smart, a mother(!) of two, and divorced from Doyle.
Lane is still married, Hep Alien is thriving, and Zach is odd, but wasn't he always.
That is a quick synopsis of the first episode of the revival!
Review time!
The girls are pretty much the same as they were when we left them in 2007.
The writers seem to be a little more free flowing with the language of the script
now that the show is on Netflix, but are still just the Gilmore Girls.
I am a little biased, I love this show and find that there is very little they could do
that I wouldn't watch over and over. Parts of the revival we're odd and I wasn't sure
I even liked the first time I watched it, but the second time I think I understand it better
I may not love every second but do we ever?
This is the cast we originally fell in love with in 2000, and now Amy Sherman Palladino
has finally gotten to take these girls home where she always knew they would end up.
What do you think? Did you love it? Hate it? Watch it? Let me know.
Thanks for reading! I'll be back soon!
Try new things, love life, and live out loud!
Book Worm!
