+Joann Oriol Yeah, but they could've given her and Luke a kid or two for the revival, then that would've been great, especially if they were already married!!
I know there aren't many Dean fans, but I liked his little one off scene with Rory in Doose's. It was nice to see that he was happy, had a family, and wasn't obsessed with Rory anymore. What Rory said to him was realistically awkward and sweet. It was one of my few favorite moments in the Revival.
Agree. I don't understand why everyone hates Dean when he slept with Rory when he was married, but everyone loves Rory even though she is cheating on her boyfriend Paul and is sleeping with logan while he is engaged. She is a spineless and weak girl who lacks self respect. Dean is the only guy who treated her right, who was always there for her, who put effort in making her happy. Remember when Jess didn't want to go to the carnival because he didn't feel like it, but when he heard Dean would be there, he would go. Or when Logan 'had to blow off steam' after yet anoher dumb mistake he made. Dean would never to that
@@Stepje93 i disagree. At the beginning dean was good but then he became really toxic (I'm not saying that rory wasn't toxic either because she was) and the way he treated his wife while he was cheating with rory was awful. Also he clearly had anger issues. Regardless of everything I just wrote, I really hope he can have a little of character development because he can learn from what he did and grow as a person.
True. Looking back I realize how what he said wasn’t cruel or out of spite. He’s a professional who saw how she easily slipped into a rhythm of complacency. Not to mention the fact that she basically fell apart because of one simple comment from someone whose opinion she valued. Yet she didn’t listen to his opinion bc she didn’t want to hear it. Instead she STOLE A BOAT, quit Yale and became really a disappointment to her childhood self. She never had what it takes
I totally agree like at first I was mad when I watched it, but then the fact that she just gave up after he told her that and in the revival how she was just basically waiting for a story to be handed to her
Emily was too far away to get her there in time. But Jess was in town and most certainly still awake (I mean, they told Lane (which wasn't even close friends with Lorelai) and Michel, so why not Jess?)
But he was in town and he was going to be at the wedding the next day. And I would have expected him to be there because of his connection to Luke (I mean, Luke has been sort of a father figure for 16-year-old Jess), not because he is Rorys ex-boyfriend.
I agree, I wanted him there for Luke because he is Luke's nephew and Luke didn't really have anyone there for him. Jess being Rory's ex means nothing to his relationship with Luke and his being at the wedding.
Can we talk about the fact that Michel was finally "ouf of the closet"? It was never really mentioned and was a "rumor" among fans back in the day and now he has a husband and all :)
Wisheid he'd veen straight though and maybe another less obvious person gay. This cliché worked ten years ago, But not now. They are or should be better than Disney
No Dean love? I thought his scene was amazing. He, out of all of Rory's boyfriends, moved on, has a happy life AND got closure with Rory. Not to mention he's grown up to be fucking stunning.
The only part about the revival i liked is that it was confirmed that jess still loves Rory. And the fact that Jess is Rory's "Luke" and Logan is her "Christopher". Also that Luke and Lorelei finally got married.
that was the worst part because implying that the characters are just carbon copies of lorelai and her love life is the stupidest thing to write! but sure Jan...
I think in that last scene Jess was in, the writers were trying to make a statement that no, Jess hasn't gotten over Rory. So yes, you are supposed to believe that he hasn't moved on because thats what the writers intended the story to end on
I've always been team Jess. He was definitely rough around the edges in the beginning (to say the least), but of all the characters he made the most personal growth.
in the original series he wasn't in a great place, apart from when he made his last 2 appearances and you could see he was growing up, he was always quite a good character (regardless of if you liked him or not) cause he had a personality outside of his relationship with rory which is what dean and logan both lacked, but in the revival he had really grown as a person and I think the writers did him a great justice.
Charlotte Carson um... yeah. Idk. I just didn't really like him until the last 2 scenes of him in the original series. There really wasn't a specific reason.
Jess is charming in the revival. Good-looking, a great ommunicator and empathic. Rory's future husband? They would be great together - mutually inspiring
Number one shoulda been Lukes rant about Lorelai not leaving and the mountain moment shoulda been number 2. Lorelai's story about Richard had me in tears and was one of the best moments in the 4 episodes.
Kai - totally agree! Luke's big speech at the end there was epic. I literally had tears in my eyes when he kept saying "I will never leave"....it was beautiful. Lorelai's memory about her dad was also another tearjerker! I really loved this revival
That was the fault of the creator and producer- they assumed she would be too busy with her schedule, so they didn't even ask her right away if she was wanted to join them in the revival and by the time she found out, they couldn't fix it to add her to the first three episodes, so that's why we only got a snippet of her in the revival.
Even if you don't like Dean I truly thought he would be there or at least in the honorable mentions because watching them together again really gave me the feels and the memories came rushing back in
I'm really surprised how they wrote Rory as a character in this one. Self centered, pretentious, entitled, back stabbing at times, etc etc etc. I didn't feel any kind of connection to her character at all, even though I really wanted to. She came across as a very very shallow character. I hope they do another one (which it left it off like they will) where we finally see Rory grow as a person. Because I do like her character over all.
NoneOfTheAbove agree with almost all of it, except I don't want more of Gilmore Girls, they've damaged the characters (Rory and Lorelai mostly) enough, I never want to see this new Rory ever again
Rory's always been like that, even Emily said it once, in the episode in which the 4 Gilmores have a dinner filled with fights, laughs and anecdotes, something like "You're very spoiled, its because you are an only child". She never ever ever asked Dean about him or his life, everytime they were toghether they talked about her and her problems. And what happened when she threw that huge tantrum over Mitchum telling her she didn't "had it". I don't know why Rory 10 years after is such a shock for many people when shes just the same dramatic person, and even if it was something new: not every main character has to be perfect or a role model.
A lot of people never really grow up until they themselves have children. Parenthood, done right, brings out a whole new level of unselfishness/maturity in people.
Agreed. Throughout the whole show, Rory's reaction to not getting exactly what she wants handed to her has been to throw a tantrum. I've never liked her much, and she got worse once she went off to college. Her whole storyline in the revival made perfect sense to me.
bonnieJM 0 I totally thought the same thing! I loved that she came back for a scene but it didn't quite to it for me because her voice was too different and kinda dull too in comparison to the original series.
Logan is the father but eventually Jess will get back together with Rory. There was strong hints/foreshadowing. Logan = Christopher / Jess = Luke / Rory = Lorelai
I think the revivel was perfect. Because, it has passed 10 years. Characters changes and the dynamic of their lives have changed also. It's just like your own life. You can't expect that everything stay just the same. So, it was like the show has grown up also. I think.
same thought, but since she's just as lost and a mess as a 21 year old (sleeping w a married man, no real job because she as being a brat, who even is the dad then? just a lot of weird mistakes you'd think would've came earlier)
I would have liked to see Chad Michael Murray for real as Tristan not 'fake Tristan" who makes Paris act like a panicked teenager. Although.... I get it, now, because I saw someone I hadn't seen since High School. Someone I had had a major crush on, and I never got to completely resolve my feelings for, because at my graduation, I still had some feelings for him. And now, 11 years later, I could see, wow... he still cute, but I didn't get the butterflies in my tummy feeling that I used to get around him. Thank God
I felt like Paris was over Tristan. She's not the type to obsess about someone either. It felt out of character...but also, why have anyone at all? If you can't get the actor, change the scene. Otherwise what's the point?
Yeah that was weird. I mean, I don't think they'd even mentioned him since like season 2. If they couldn't get Chad back for it, they might as well have just cut it.
Since I was young, I have adored the characters of Dean and Jess (and the actors who played them). That is why I am glad neither ended up with Rory; she was always ultimately a detached, inconsiderate, and really disloyal partner. Both deserve better than Rory.
this just somehow got me into thinking that if the original series would be closed with those legendary last words, we might have Rory turning down Logan's proposal even though she's pregnant (and the family would disapprove), but feeling more confident because she knows she can do it as Lorelai has done it on her own before too. would have been a much cooler ending.
Emily was the best Gilmore girl, she learned from her problems, never tip toed, was honest, took responsibility after a few fights of course, always welcomed, she never hesitated to do things for her daughter and grand daughter, all she wanted was her family to be whole, sure she was cold and distant but she tried, she was from a whole different time, she liked the old ways like many parents or grand parents do, cuz it’s her normal,,,and in the end she was able to move on, I loved how she didn’t dwell on Richards death, she grew from it cuz he would have wanted her to enjoy life and that’s what she did
That tour of the house when Richard showed up absolutely destroyed me. I came to gilmore girls just after my grandfather died when I was 12 and Richard and he look so much alike that I instantly adored Richard's character. His death absolutely broke my heart because it felt like I'd lost another part of my grandfather.
The last four words were a dud because this revival comes 10 years too late. Had Rory just graduated college, been planning to go off beginning her stellar investigative career only to then discover she was pregnant, then it would be full circle to Lorelei. The pregnancy could either be seen as a roadblock to her long desired career or the beginning of a new independent life. Having Rory is what drove Lorelei to grow up and start living for someone else. Rory's baby would give her the same kick in the pants. Ten years later we would see her succeeding with a 9 year old in tow and perhaps torn between two great loves: the street-tough Jess or the reformed rich kid Logan. Instead we get a spoiled rich kid Rory who has spent the last 10 years living entirely for herself. Not to mention all the time wasted for Luke and Loralei. In 10 years of living together they never discussed marriage or kids? Seriously?
this is so correct, Amy had this mom im pregnant ending for s7 but she didn't write on that so just to get her ending she did wrong by the characters and the audience
In the original series when you get to the last episode and there's that minute in which you see every character you got attached to in Stars Hollow making Rory a goodbye party it's like you feel connected with those people. That was the feeling from the original series. We felt connected, nostalgic and like we were a part of Stars Hollow. Those feelings don't exist in a Year in the Life. Some of the storylines don't make sense and are disconnected with the old series. Rory is lost, Lorelai is in a middle age crisis, Sookie isn't present, Michel is trying to leave the DragonFly Inn, Lane is the same and barely appears. The best storyline was Emily's. She has grown as a person. One of the best moments was when Rory walks in the Gilmore's house and we are able to see her memories with the Gilmore family. And the second best moment is Lorelai and Luke's wedding. Yeah, they seem to have communication problems yet but this time it is the right thing to do. She didn't marry secretly in Paris and there is no one between them. She did what she intended to and we can see that it was the right way to do because the wedding ended being so intimate as it could be. It was great to see all the characters again one more time but at the same time we feel like something is missing.
The final words felt like they didn't fit. Rory's storyline as a whole felt weird, like it was supposed to have happened in the 7th season and not nine years later. They didn't talk about the fact that Logan had proposed either. Paul was a weird edition and just made Rory seem like an even worse person, who would have experienced these things at 22, not 32. It felt like Sherman-Palladino stubbornly insisted on a storyline and an ending that didn't fit anymore. Don't get me wrong - I loved most of the moments on this top 10 - but they rightfully didn't include much of Rory's storyline. I loved Jess and Emily especially and the Life and Death Brigade scene was fun, though it did lead to her pregnancy, and he was engaged and she was in a relationship and she had said no to his proposal in season 7... you know what? Scratch that. It was a fun scene, but the context was really bad
No, actually, she could have gotten pregnant by the wookie. Remember? I personally like the uncertainty of fatherhood that this introduced into the milieu.
The baby can't be the Wookie's. Too much time has passed. She slept with him in the spring, and isn't showing AT ALL in the last scene, which takes place in the fall. Timing-wise, it is most likely Logan's, unless she had an unmentioned, off-screen hook up with the forgettable boyfriend before he text-dumped her.
Yeah, it would be nice to see him back! When he and Rory met in season 1, they were both young, naive and immature. She was the mysterious new girl while he was the popular student. He genuinely liked Rory but he didn't know the proper way to express it. He kept bothering Rory even after she rejected him, provoking her boyfriend and wasn't aware of how much Paris liked him. It was a good thing that they parted on good terms. But my oh my, wouldn't it be good if he returned and Rory decided to try something with him?
helloshosh No, it wasn't. At all. It was confusing, boring, infuriatingly aimless and I will miss them least of all, those irritating dicks. Well, apart from Rory.
There were some good things about the revival but there were alot of things I hated. 90% of Rory's storyline being a big part of them. Those last 4words being another.
Hmm, although then her conversation with Christopher wouldn't make as much sense, if she wasn't carrying her own child and wondering about not telling the Father about it.
MsMojo the long drawn out theatre scene, the one night stand, dean's whole situation, WHO THE FATHER IS, Logan in general, the lack of jess, half assed pop culture references, rory acting ditsy and like she didn't care half the time, body shaming the dude at the pool...shall I go on? don't get me wrong, I loved the revival but there were some things that didn't seem true to the show and characters at all. it just kinda seemed like someone somewhere down the line didn't give a shit about how it was done.
I know jared padalecki is super busy, but I was hoping for more than just a quick Hello goodbye scene for him. It's cool that he moved on and had a family,but I feel like that was just too easy.
Most of the people do not like the Rory of the revival. But I like her. She is not the perfect and super smart one with a great job. She did and does make mistakes and the selfish side is quite realistic. The only thing I do not like is the part with Paul...
Sasa Jott I get your feelings of Paul a lot. And I agree that she was always a bit self cantered, but I feel like she should have grown past that. She was also a lot more over-confident than she should have been. She said no to jobs and didn't prepare for interviews. She was sloppy. And that was something I would never have thought to see her be. Plus the whole thing with Logan - she should have learnt her lesson after what happened with Dean, shouldn't she?
Rory has always been selfish and self-centered, I agree that she has a good heart but honestly, sometimes she did hurt her loved ones and never really apologized for it. She finally goes through hardship as she was too confident on her luck, and that happens in life. I did like how they handled things for her.
That's what made me feel related to the story from the beginning, and now that I´m older, and still can relate to her mid-life crisis, because I´m going through one too!
Sasa Jott one this is for her not to have the job of her dreams another is her having a boyfriend who she never acknowledges & having a night stand. That is not Rory and her morals. They change her completely. I can still see her saying good-bye to Logan but not with all the other components.
Brown sugar Dumpling ikr like who's the father what happens with jess and Rory cause jess' face is everything, do Logan and his fiancé work out so many questions!!!!
No matter how bad this was I still love it because it relates to Gilmore Girls and is part of the story. Also despite Rory’s mistakes I still intend to name my future daughter after her
That's just cold...but also a little funny...why do I find that funny?... I liked the revival....something is wrong with me...wait I already knew that. I'm gonna stop now.
I think a great idea would be for the next season to be chapters as Rory writes her book. Rory interviewing people, etc. Each episode would feature certain people (like an episode titled "Luke" or "RIchard", etc. So we can get a real more in depth story on each character's history & where they are now, etc.
Was anyone else annoyed with the Life and Death Brigade crap? I thought Rory was sick and done with that after season 7 because it made Logan act irresponsible and stupid. I thought it was cringing to watch that scene - a bunch of 32+ year olds running around acting the way they were.
I recently ended watching the revival and that scene was soooo boring. Those minutes could have been used for scenes with Jess or Dean. Also the musical, that was the worst lol
Oh my God , please! Continue the series they can't just end it like they did .. I hope there is something in the works for the continuation of the series ..
Everything. I guess I'm the only one (maybe could be wrong) who LOVED every single minute of this revival. The ONLY perfect revival of any show that I can think of. Most are a bust, Doctor Who being the only other one great revival. This show NEEDS to continue. I already miss my girls. I LOVED the original & love the new series. Please creators give us more!
Moviesrocks2- I did too! Minus the musical scene, which I thought was a bit too long, I thought the revival was awesome! I do wish we'd gotten more romantic scenes with Luke & Lorelai though - I mean, I know they were all comfortable living together for so many years and settled into a routine, but a few more cute romantic moments would have been nice. I just felt the revival needed a nice heavy dose of L&L to help make up for how deprived we all were with how bad most of Season 6 & 7 were between them. I just adore them. I really think Lauren & Scott did an amazing job together, but they always had crazy chemistry, so it was just awesome. We really need more episodes - gotta see how the newlyweds are doing and how they feel about becoming grandparents!
i loved that even though the actor died, they still mentioned Richard. That was touching
Yes, and they made him a presence. They showed how it really affected everyone.
No, they did not just mentioned Richard, they built the whole revival around him. That is how you pay respect to a veteran !
Emily saying "bullshit" made me smile with delight.
Same lol
1,000 like 👍
Emily's storyline was truly the best.
It WAS good!
Stephanie Orta She was the Gilmore Girl who shined the best!!! 😉👍🏽 Rory and Lorelei's storyline were more of a yawn but Emily's was great! 😊
MexicanJL970 True! I honestly cried at the end, because I was so happy for her and I never cry over movies or tv shows.
+Stephanie Orta Agreed! She was my favorite :)
I thought it was super boring
Can we just talk about how we FINALLY got to see Mr. Kim
Hannibal Gaming - Yes please! I mean wtf? Was he in storage for the ENTIRETY of the original show? So random.
and them all acting like it was totally normal that he was there
When tho? I watched it all but didn't come across that
@@marieconroy3171 During the festival where Lane was selling food and Mr Kim waved at her and Rory?...
Yeah that was so random 😂
I would have died of joy if the final words were.
Rory- I'm Pregnant.
Lorelai- Me too.
DesigningValenti OMG totally
Mom
Yeah
I'm pregnant
Me too hon
She's way too old to be pregnant 50 years old do the math

@@Stepje93 dean had nothing in common with Rory. He was often jealous and just clingy. Also nobody likes Rory either
@@Stepje93 actually no one loves rory. everyone hates her character lmao
Can we just talk about how right Mitchum Huntzberger was in regards to Rory being a journalist.
The_Howler I always thought that though. I never thought he was too harsh. He was a professional, he knew more than anyone else.
Well the way I see it, is if she fell apart from ONE person saying it, then that person was probably right.
True. Looking back I realize how what he said wasn’t cruel or out of spite. He’s a professional who saw how she easily slipped into a rhythm of complacency. Not to mention the fact that she basically fell apart because of one simple comment from someone whose opinion she valued. Yet she didn’t listen to his opinion bc she didn’t want to hear it.

Emily was too far away to get her there in time. But Jess was in town and most certainly still awake (I mean, they told Lane (which wasn't even close friends with Lorelai) and Michel, so why not Jess?)

Jemnem x one of my favorites to be honest
I've always been team Jess. He was definitely rough around the edges in the beginning (to say the least), but of all the characters he made the most personal growth.
Did anyone else tear up just watching Richard at his desk in this video alone let alone in the actual series?
Paris's bathroom scene had me dying of laughter 😂 (specifically the door kick)
Right? I want to do it at least once in my life. 😂
Same
Or what about when she quoted Stalin😂

no

Agreed I hated him back then, thankfully he actually grew as a character.
We saw Mr. Kim! how can you forget that..
Hannah yes! I loved that!
That's right!!! I remember him being mentioned in the original series, early on, but then nothing more about him and no sighting. Until now!
I actually didn't like that because it was played off as a joke.
I was surprised. I thought he was dead lol
Number one shoulda been Lukes rant about Lorelai not leaving and the mountain moment shoulda been number 2. Lorelai's story about Richard had me in tears and was one of the best moments in the 4 episodes.

I cry every time I see the mountain scene where she calls her mom.
Kai ohhai couldn't agree more!!!!!!
I sobbed through all of that.
Nahhhh. The wedding was much more special and nostalgic.
you missed the complete Gilmoring of Luke. when Lorelai came back from her Wild adventure I have never heard him talk so fast
Is that good or bad? :O
Unfortunately, for some of us fans of the show, this revival had more disappointing moments than loved ones! :(
Yes.. Was very disappointed.
how come no one's mentioning the secret bar??
Carol Freitas yes! I loved that!
Carol Freitas it's a secret

Thank god someone brought this us.

Bee I feel like Rory was already starting to get like that once she got to Yale, especially after the Mithcum thing
A lot of people never really grow up until they themselves have children. Parenthood, done right, brings out a whole new level of unselfishness/maturity in people.
Agreed. Throughout the whole show, Rory's reaction to not getting exactly what she wants handed to her has been to throw a tantrum. I've never liked her much, and she got worse once she went off to college. Her whole storyline in the revival made perfect sense to me.
what happend to sookie's voice? it sounds SO different. am i the only one who noticed that?
definitely not! Between her voice and the acting it's like Melissa couldn't be Sookie again. I was so smad =/
bonnieJM 0 they didn't have that mojo any more
bonnieJM 0 I totally thought the same thing! I loved that she came back for a scene but it didn't quite to it for me because her voice was too different and kinda dull too in comparison to the original series.
I read somewhere that she had a thyroid problem and that it unfortunately changed her voice (which I didn't know could happen but apparently it can).
Natalia Herrera I have three family members with a thyroid problem and that's never happened to them but interesting.
I swear when I heard Reflecting Light playing during the wedding I screamed! that and them dancing at Liz's wedding will always be my favourite scenes
My favorite scene I think was when Jess told the whole diner there was actually no wifi and Luke had been giving everyone wrong passwords.
The song still gets me. I watched Luke and Lorelai's first dance at Liz's wedding so many times
Logan is the father but eventually Jess will get back together with Rory. There was strong hints/foreshadowing.
Logan = Christopher / Jess = Luke / Rory = Lorelai
theworldastage but they would be cousins... ya know since he’s Luke’s nephew... and Lorelei & Luke got married...

Nooooo
Team Logan FOREVER
I think the revivel was perfect. Because, it has passed 10 years. Characters changes and the dynamic of their lives have changed also. It's just like your own life. You can't expect that everything stay just the same. So, it was like the show has grown up also. I think.
Thing is tho, the last four words don't have the same reaction bc Rory is 32 - if she had been 21 , as in season 7 , it would be more of a shock
same thought, but since she's just as lost and a mess as a 21 year old (sleeping w a married man, no real job because she as being a brat, who even is the dad then? just a lot of weird mistakes you'd think would've came earlier)
Kelly Bishop really, hands down stole the show with her storyline and stellar acting!
Lorelai's phone call to Emily should have been #1.
The Tristan thing was dumb
I would have liked to see Chad Michael Murray for real as Tristan not 'fake Tristan" who makes Paris act like a panicked teenager. Although.... I get it, now, because I saw someone I hadn't seen since High School. Someone I had had a major crush on, and I never got to completely resolve my feelings for, because at my graduation, I still had some feelings for him. And now, 11 years later, I could see, wow... he still cute, but I didn't get the butterflies in my tummy feeling that I used to get around him. Thank God
wt30001 yesssss and pointless!!
I felt like Paris was over Tristan. She's not the type to obsess about someone either. It felt out of character...but also, why have anyone at all? If you can't get the actor, change the scene. Otherwise what's the point?
Yeah that was weird. I mean, I don't think they'd even mentioned him since like season 2. If they couldn't get Chad back for it, they might as well have just cut it.
I thought Emily's evolution was the best part of the revival. Followed by all the actors from Parenthood.
This. I know your comment is from 4 years ago (hah) but I loved catching the 3 Parenthood actors throughout the episodes. It was so rad!
The reuse of Reflecting Light for the wedding scene had me balling my eyes out, such a lovely song with so much meaning.
Since I was young, I have adored the characters of Dean and Jess (and the actors who played them). That is why I am glad neither ended up with Rory; she was always ultimately a detached, inconsiderate, and really disloyal partner. Both deserve better than Rory.
Edmund Burke I was rooting for her and dean. It’s a shame she wasn’t good to him
But didn't Jess die though?? Same way his own mother was killed???
I'm sorry but you are wrong, he's not dead
Thiiiiiiiiiis
@@WesLuvsBtr buddy wrong show
Paris is queen on the show really proud of how much she's accomplished.
the only thing missing is.. is.... Richard 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭
The way Jess looks at Rory through the window...just so much love ♥
this just somehow got me into thinking that if the original series would be closed with those legendary last words, we might have Rory turning down Logan's proposal even though she's pregnant (and the family would disapprove), but feeling more confident because she knows she can do it as Lorelai has done it on her own before too. would have been a much cooler ending.
Emily was the best Gilmore girl, she learned from her problems, never tip toed, was honest, took responsibility after a few fights of course, always welcomed, she never hesitated to do things for her daughter and grand daughter, all she wanted was her family to be whole, sure she was cold and distant but she tried, she was from a whole different time, she liked the old ways like many parents or grand parents do, cuz it’s her normal,,,and in the end she was able to move on, I loved how she didn’t dwell on Richards death, she grew from it cuz he would have wanted her to enjoy life and that’s what she did
That tour of the house when Richard showed up absolutely destroyed me. I came to gilmore girls just after my grandfather died when I was 12 and Richard and he look so much alike that I instantly adored Richard's character. His death absolutely broke my heart because it felt like I'd lost another part of my grandfather.
Got goosebumps in the scene of Richard working at his office!
Emotional too 😔
The last four words were a dud because this revival comes 10 years too late. Had Rory just graduated college, been planning to go off beginning her stellar investigative career only to then discover she was pregnant, then it would be full circle to Lorelei. The pregnancy could either be seen as a roadblock to her long desired career or the beginning of a new independent life. Having Rory is what drove Lorelei to grow up and start living for someone else. Rory's baby would give her the same kick in the pants. Ten years later we would see her succeeding with a 9 year old in tow and perhaps torn between two great loves: the street-tough Jess or the reformed rich kid Logan. Instead we get a spoiled rich kid Rory who has spent the last 10 years living entirely for herself. Not to mention all the time wasted for Luke and Loralei. In 10 years of living together they never discussed marriage or kids? Seriously?
The producer who wrote that part didn’t work on the last season that’s why she had to save it
this is so correct, Amy had this mom im pregnant ending for s7 but she didn't write on that so just to get her ending she did wrong by the characters and the audience
I can never get over Rory and Jess not being together...
she doesn't deserve him
The life and death brigade scene in fall was my absolute fav scene in the whole episode
yessss mine too, maybe in the whole show
Paris, Jess and Emily were my favorite part! I hope they continue with another season of the revival.
In the original series when you get to the last episode and there's that minute in which you see every character you got attached to in Stars Hollow making Rory a goodbye party it's like you feel connected with those people. That was the feeling from the original series. We felt connected, nostalgic and like we were a part of Stars Hollow. Those feelings don't exist in a Year in the Life. Some of the storylines don't make sense and are disconnected with the old series. Rory is lost, Lorelai is in a middle age crisis, Sookie isn't present, Michel is trying to leave the DragonFly Inn, Lane is the same and barely appears. The best storyline was Emily's. She has grown as a person. One of the best moments was when Rory walks in the Gilmore's house and we are able to see her memories with the Gilmore family. And the second best moment is Lorelai and Luke's wedding. Yeah, they seem to have communication problems yet but this time it is the right thing to do. She didn't marry secretly in Paris and there is no one between them. She did what she intended to and we can see that it was the right way to do because the wedding ended being so intimate as it could be. It was great to see all the characters again one more time but at the same time we feel like something is missing.
Jess Mariano!!!!!!!!!
TEAM Jess!!!
Team Jess' arms!
The final words felt like they didn't fit. Rory's storyline as a whole felt weird, like it was supposed to have happened in the 7th season and not nine years later. They didn't talk about the fact that Logan had proposed either. Paul was a weird edition and just made Rory seem like an even worse person, who would have experienced these things at 22, not 32. It felt like Sherman-Palladino stubbornly insisted on a storyline and an ending that didn't fit anymore.
Don't get me wrong - I loved most of the moments on this top 10 - but they rightfully didn't include much of Rory's storyline. I loved Jess and Emily especially and the Life and Death Brigade scene was fun, though it did lead to her pregnancy, and he was engaged and she was in a relationship and she had said no to his proposal in season 7... you know what? Scratch that. It was a fun scene, but the context was really bad
Thefirst
TheIwas
thesametimeas
No, actually, she could have gotten pregnant by the wookie. Remember? I personally like the uncertainty of fatherhood that this introduced into the milieu.
Rainy Day actually, the Wookiee happened in the spring, so it's Logan's.
The baby can't be the Wookie's. Too much time has passed. She slept with him in the spring, and isn't showing AT ALL in the last scene, which takes place in the fall. Timing-wise, it is most likely Logan's, unless she had an unmentioned, off-screen hook up with the forgettable boyfriend before he text-dumped her.
I think you're right. It was suppose to happen in season 7, not years later. There needs to be another year to fix all this
Seriously?! Any mention for Rory and Dean scene in Doose's market?!
i cried so bad
Ikr?!?!?
So sweet!
it honestly made me smile ugh
Honestly Emily tearing down the DAR was the BEST thing out of the entire revival
that song at the wedding etc always makes me cry😭😭😭✨✨✨
Emily was the best in this revival no doubt. The DAR scene was hilarious!
I HATED Melissa McCarthy's cameo. It was cold, awkward and uncomfortable. Nope. Hated it
thanks, glad someone said this!
the funny thing is, they also mentioned it on the things they HATED about the revival. Mixed messages much?
What about Dean's scene! finally they gave such a wonderful character the ending he deserved!
#AlwaysTeamJess ♥♥♥
Amé van der Vorst #teamPuppyPaulAnka
🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Amé van der Vorst I'm always gonna be team Jess!
Yes! But now Jess is to good for Rory!
The DAR rant was hands down the best scene of the revival!
the life and death brigade was definetely my favorite part of the whole revival omg
Perfect ending:
*People fighting over Dean, Jess, and Logan*
*Tristan swoops in and ends up with Rory*
Yeah, it would be nice to see him back! When he and Rory met in season 1, they were both young, naive and immature. She was the mysterious new girl while he was the popular student. He genuinely liked Rory but he didn't know the proper way to express it. He kept bothering Rory even after she rejected him, provoking her boyfriend and wasn't aware of how much Paris liked him. It was a good thing that they parted on good terms. But my oh my, wouldn't it be good if he returned and Rory decided to try something with him?
If the fact that we got to see Lane's father is not an honorable mention . . .
Sorry, but the Life And Death Brigade scene was a true chore to sit through.
Gregory House urgh right? It was so bad! That screentime could've been given to Jess or Paris!!
you can hate the concept of the life & death brigade all you want, but their sequence in the revival was still the best, most entertaining part
helloshosh No, it wasn't. At all. It was confusing, boring, infuriatingly aimless and I will miss them least of all, those irritating dicks. Well, apart from Rory.
My favorite scene was the L&D brigade. Loved the steam punk clothes. 15:00 :)
I hated that scene
There were some good things about the revival but there were alot of things I hated. 90% of Rory's storyline being a big part of them. Those last 4words being another.
jenfirelight YES!!! Thank you :)
LOVE the idea of Rory being the surrogate and that's why she is pregnant. Now that's a theory I hadn't heard before!!!
Hmm, although then her conversation with Christopher wouldn't make as much sense, if she wasn't carrying her own child and wondering about not telling the Father about it.
I love the final four words.
I love that one place is just called "Jess" because same tbh
I think the best things from this was Emily's and Jess's character developments, Lorelai fixing her mistake, and her and Luke finally getting married!
Can we have a top 10 disappointing things about the revival/ things we didn't like.
Oh you best believe we'll be doing a list of things we HATED! Stay Tuned!
Yes, add the theater production to that list!
MsMojo the long drawn out theatre scene, the one night stand, dean's whole situation, WHO THE FATHER IS, Logan in general, the lack of jess, half assed pop culture references, rory acting ditsy and like she didn't care half the time, body shaming the dude at the pool...shall I go on? don't get me wrong, I loved the revival but there were some things that didn't seem true to the show and characters at all. it just kinda seemed like someone somewhere down the line didn't give a shit about how it was done.
Jessika Pagano What do u mean Deans situation ?
I know jared padalecki is super busy, but I was hoping for more than just a quick Hello goodbye scene for him. It's cool that he moved on and had a family,but I feel like that was just too easy.
The best scene in the whole revial with the return of Collin and Finn and their night with Logan and Rory.
The scene where all are at Luck´s and Kirk says "Ooober" so Lor throw to him a piece of bread is just hilarious!
Most of the people do not like the Rory of the revival. But I like her. She is not the perfect and super smart one with a great job. She did and does make mistakes and the selfish side is quite realistic. The only thing I do not like is the part with Paul...
Sasa Jott
I get your feelings of Paul a lot. And I agree that she was always a bit self cantered, but I feel like she should have grown past that. She was also a lot more over-confident than she should have been. She said no to jobs and didn't prepare for interviews. She was sloppy. And that was something I would never have thought to see her be. Plus the whole thing with Logan - she should have learnt her lesson after what happened with Dean, shouldn't she?
Paul Anka¿
Rory has always been selfish and self-centered, I agree that she has a good heart but honestly, sometimes she did hurt her loved ones and never really apologized for it. She finally goes through hardship as she was too confident on her luck, and that happens in life. I did like how they handled things for her.
That's what made me feel related to the story from the beginning, and now that I´m older, and still can relate to her mid-life crisis, because I´m going through one too!
Sasa Jott one this is for her not to have the job of her dreams another is her having a boyfriend who she never acknowledges & having a night stand. That is not Rory and her morals. They change her completely. I can still see her saying good-bye to Logan but not with all the other components.
Actually, Melissa Mcarthy begged for a bigger role in “A Year In The Life” but the director didn’t give it to her.
“Yeah what if we were naked” 😂 my favorite part of the whole revival
I didn't like Jess all that much as a teen but he grew up so well. I wish he had more screen time in the revival.
My favorite was Luke's rant to Lorelai about how much their relationship has overcome.
Agree, that was my favourite part as well.
I truly hope this isn't the end because to me they still left alot things unanswered.
Brown sugar Dumpling ikr like who's the father what happens with jess and Rory cause jess' face is everything, do Logan and his fiancé work out so many questions!!!!
xox_lilly_xox they might do more.
xox_lilly_xox Logan is the father of the baby
Paris' stiletto to the bathroom door was epic
I've long thought "Are you my new daddy?" Is out of character for Rory to say to a stranger! She's too proper and reserved ...but it is a funny line!
Not even a word about Jess end up being more successful then Rory? Like, it wes the highlight of the season for me
Mr Kim's appearance was amazing!
No matter how bad this was I still love it because it relates to Gilmore Girls and is part of the story. Also despite Rory’s mistakes I still intend to name my future daughter after her
I saw the title and thought it was going to be eleven minutes of blank screen.
Jan CW You and someone comparing Logan to jar jar binks made me spit out my coffee. Lol
That's just cold...but also a little funny...why do I find that funny?... I liked the revival....something is wrong with me...wait I already knew that. I'm gonna stop now.
Or Logan...
Oh, I also loved the fact that they finally openly acknowledged that Michel is gay.
i love how they incorporated some of the parenthood actors in the revival
I think a great idea would be for the next season to be chapters as Rory writes her book. Rory interviewing people, etc. Each episode would feature certain people (like an episode titled "Luke" or "RIchard", etc. So we can get a real more in depth story on each character's history & where they are now, etc.
Emily scenes, Paris & Doyle scenes, Sookie, (surprisingly) Dean's short scene..... These were my faves. I hope they make another season!!!!
Was anyone else annoyed with the Life and Death Brigade crap? I thought Rory was sick and done with that after season 7 because it made Logan act irresponsible and stupid. I thought it was cringing to watch that scene - a bunch of 32+ year olds running around acting the way they were.
Chiiiiilllll... 😂😂😂😂 wow are you buttoned up
That was my favourite scene! Loved the song and the costumes nice to see a bit of fun for a very all round sad four episodes
It's nice to let lose every once in a while and its exactly what she needed
I recently ended watching the revival and that scene was soooo boring. Those minutes could have been used for scenes with Jess or Dean. Also the musical, that was the worst lol
Nah that was literally the best scene from the whole revival 😂
It would be great to have a list of a top ten things we wanted in the GG revival but didn't get or maybe a top ten we expected??
5:23 - 6:05 this scene made me cry like a baby
same
I love this show so much..even though I joined the party late lol
I joined late too. I was just starting to get into it years ago when it went off the air.
Rainy Day I started when it was on Netflix lol.
and i love Luke’s speech to Lorelai after she gets back from the hike trip
Oh my God , please! Continue the series they can't just end it like they did .. I hope there is something in the works for the continuation of the series ..
THE SONG FROM BOTH WEDDINGS JUST GOT TO ME IM SO SHOOK
Agreed that was a great decision, made the occasion more nostalgic & meaningful.
I wish there was a part two in 'year in the life' I needed to know if Logan was back in the picture, and I loved Emily's scenes.
I have to admit I didnt like the revival. Alot of it just felt forced and it didnt have the charm of the original
Gillian Steele so not true.
Totally true
Everything. I guess I'm the only one (maybe could be wrong) who LOVED every single minute of this revival. The ONLY perfect revival of any show that I can think of. Most are a bust, Doctor Who being the only other one great revival. This show NEEDS to continue. I already miss my girls. I LOVED the original & love the new series. Please creators give us more!
moviesrocks2 nope I did! ❤️
Moviesrocks2- I did too! Minus the musical scene, which I thought was a bit too long, I thought the revival was awesome! I do wish we'd gotten more romantic scenes with Luke & Lorelai though - I mean, I know they were all comfortable living together for so many years and settled into a routine, but a few more cute romantic moments would have been nice. I just felt the revival needed a nice heavy dose of L&L to help make up for how deprived we all were with how bad most of Season 6 & 7 were between them. I just adore them. I really think Lauren & Scott did an amazing job together, but they always had crazy chemistry, so it was just awesome. We really need more episodes - gotta see how the newlyweds are doing and how they feel about becoming grandparents!
Agreed!
Musical scene was way too long
Paris is the best character. I’m glad she didn’t get picked for Rory. She made the character. Emily also!
I love how in the mountain moment lorelais real life parter is the guide it’s cute asf
One of my favourite scenes was when Gypsy and the gang were trying to out Taylor.
I really love the Jess screentime!!
Luke: "What happent to knocking, Kirk?
Jess: "Yeah, what if we were naked?
this revival was like coming home I loved it
