Lauren Graham backs Gilmore Girls to bring back post-election harmony
Before we get to “everything you need to know” part of this Gilmore Girls piece, let’s hit the most important details first. Even though she left the show, she’s kept mum about it – for 10 years – just in case she ever got the chance to make a big reveal. It’s emotional and fraught, but Luke holds it together, even closing the diner to go with her.
The seven seasons of “Gilmore Girls” contain 153 episodes. Christopher proves to be just as unreliable as he always has been, at least when it comes to Lorelai.
39 per cent of respondents say they’re two peas in a pod, and are BFFs like Rory and Lorelai.
“Watch Gilmore Girls“, my friends said. As it turns out, the two characters nearly had a very different dynamic. Remember that episode in season 7 when she had a complete meltdown in her dorm bathroom because she was anxious about graduating?
Things will pick up with Rory moving back to Stars Hollow at the age of 32, the same age her mother, Lorelai was when Gilmore Girls first premiered. He has shaggy brown hair, is dressed in a long brown coat, and is sporting a five o’clock shadow – all qualities Jess and Dean share in the reboot.
Will someone please just get Rory the eff away from Logan? On Gilmore Girls, Lorelai’s not an oxygen-sucker; she’s the best. When did Stars Hollow turn into the set of a Greek tragedy?! And that pattern keeps happening in an endless, Twilight Zone-like loop in the series. And, lest we forget, this episode also includes the shocking (but fantastic) return of Paris.
Describing Lorelai and Emily this way is sacrilegious. Gilmore Girls is supposed to be Lorelai and Rory’s show.
For all of his digging, Ausiello “never found out” the final four words. To top it all off, it’s the Dragonfly’s opening night. And those who wanted to be as cool a mom as Lorelai? There were moments that promised the heartfelt show I thought I might see: Edward Herrmann, who played Richard, died in 2014; the funeral for his character was a lovely, silly touch.
“Stars Hollow is such a charming town, with its pumpkin parties and knitting parties …” she says. Three. Times. The first time was “cos he dropped the L-bomb on her and she didn’t return the favor quickly enough for his f***ed up satisfaction”.
Her love of the series might border on obsession – she plans to have copious amounts of coffee, pizza and Chinese food at the marathon to reflect the characters’ famed eating habits – but it’s not unusual. In omnia paratus, indeed.
While it is already known that Logan will be back, his father and media mogul Mitchum Huntzberger will also return but neither Logan’s sister Honor nor his mother will back.
“Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino says she knew from the very beginning of the TV series in 2000 that the show would end with four specific words.
For me, it’s the main characters who matter, and though they’ve aged, however imperceptibly, they haven’t grown as much as I’d hoped in the years since Lorelai was reunited with Luke (Haddonfield’s Scott Patterson) and since Rory, newly sprung from Yale, went off to cover the presidential campaign of some guy named Barack Obama.
