What Are the Final Four Words on Gilmore Girls?
And now, with Netflix’s four-part Gilmore Girls revival debuting in just 11 days, Graham and Bledel are bracing themselves for the instantaneous and direct fan feedback that they never had when the series was originally on air. It’s better if you pretend that Rory is still in her mid-20s, that you assume that each and every character dynamic is intact and consistent, that you don’t dwell on which pop culture references are current and which have been in Sherman-Palladino’s back pocket for years. The first of the four seasonally titled installments, “Winter”, does indeed open in a way that feels as comforting as digging into a just-warmed plate of turkey and cornbread stuffing. He stole, fought, vandalized and made an enemy of just about everyone in Stars Hollow. We’ve been talking about it for so, so, so long, that was part of the relief and joy of actually getting to do it, because I think we ended up getting to do it in the ideal way.
Season 3, Episode 9: “A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving” The best way to do a Thanksgiving episode? Despite all the love interests that crossed paths with Lorelai, Luke always managed to make the most sense.

Sounds insane, right? Luke and Lorelai had instant chemistry from the moment he begrudgingly served her coffee and she continued to talk his ear off. Weil pointed out that while the obsession over Rory’s love life has led to major bonding among the millions of Gilmore Girls fans across the world, it also somewhat obscures the fact that some of Lorelai’s and Rory’s best and strongest moments often came when they were single.
Season 4, Episode 22: “Raincoats and Recipes” Spoiler alert: Yes, this is the episode in which Rory loses her virginity to Dean.
Others are curious as to how the four 90 minute episodes will unfold all together. With the revival taking place 10 years since we last left Stars Hollow, it’s likely Rory will have finally chosen between her three guys. “While watching Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, you may find yourself asking the same thing, and you may conclude that there is still plenty to love”. The show will also introduce new characters played by actors such as Sutton Foster and Mae Whitman. The very proper Emily, in turn, projects her fears on to Lorelai, and both women talk past each other in a lifelong battle to gain control of the family narrative.
On The Tonight Show on Tuesday, Jimmy Fallon revealed a secret- he is a Gilmore Girls super fan.
Not only would Rory be Lorelai’s daughter, she’d be her niece-in-law since Lorelai’s husband’s nephew’s wife (AKA Rory) is just that: a niece-in-law. And not only is the tension ramped up to 11, it means that it’s basically impossible to look away from your TV for the entire episode. “Instead of just having on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, it’s a little more amusing”, explains Maben, “and it says a lot about her character, too”.
