+++++ SPOILER ALERT +++++ SPOILER ALERT +++++

First things first: If you haven’t watched Gilmore Girls yet, obviously don’t read this post. If you do, don’t even think about blaming me.

Finally the day was here. A lot of people were waiting for this to happen and boy oh boy what an experience it was. After seeing promising trailers and re-watching all seven seasons of the original series, the hype was big and of course I couldn’t resist. Gilmore Girls is a special show with amazing characters and a mother-daughter relationship that can make your head spin. Expectations were super high and of course, I had to binge-watch the revival immediately. So that’s what I did all day long and here are all my thoughts and feelings about more than six hours of Stars Hollow madness.

WINTER

• Just hearing that lovely melody when seeing Stars Hollow gives me all the feels.
• I wish I could smell snow like Lorelai.
• Rory is just sooo pretty.
• The fact that Rory doesn’t fully have her life together at 32 makes me feel so much better about myself.
• If anyone asks me again why it’s so hard for me to get a job in journalism, I’ll just say “ask THE Rory Gilmore.” It’s just how it is.
• Luke’s is so not blogger friendly.
• What the hell happened to Zack? He looks like he’s 80.
• Paris Geller in Stars Hollow just always looks so wrong.
• Paris had children? I want to see her as a mother.
• Maybe we all just need a Kirk in our life.
• How amazing do the tons of Christmas decorations at the Gilmore house look?!
• Who the fu** is Paul? Rory, dump him immediately.
• Yayyyy, Logan. I think they’re good together.
• Wait, what exactly is Rory’s relationship status?
• I have to get used to a two-timing and casual hookup-liking Rory.
• Richard’s funeral: and here come the tears.
• London, New York, Stars Hollow – What a life, Rory Gilmore.
• When did everyone start drinking Scotch all the time?
• Emily in jeans is just so…
• I want to live in Stars Hollow. I mean yeah, it’s a small town but the community is great and it’s so pretty.
• I can hardly recognize Miss Patty. I already had a hard time recognizing her in the promotion clips.
• Kirk at Emily’s dinner table is just hilarious.
• Paris is just such a great character.
• Did Taylor even get any older?
• How cuuuuuute, a pet pig.
• Can you believe that Keiko Agena (Lane) is actually 43 in real life? I want her genes. It baffles me everytime.
• In-between parts, I actually googled everyone’s ages and boy was I surprised. Real-life Kirk is only three years older than real-life Jess and Paris. Mind blown.

SPRING

• Lorelai and Emily will totally destroy that therapist.
• I don’t know if I ever saw Mr. Kim before. I mean seriously, there is a Mr. Kim?
• I’m loving all the London and New York shots.
• Ugh, how much I just hate Mitchum Huntzberger.
• I’ve always been #TeamLogan
• Michel loves Jennifer Lawrence. He’s just awesome.
• I would be so scared to be in a room alone with Emily.
• Whaaat? Paris still has feelings for Tristan?
• Guuuurl, you’re better than that.
• Going back to your old highschool is always just super weird.
• Oh wow, Rory doesn’t have a Master’s degree? I will never fully understand the American university system. But hey, I have a higher degree than her so there is hope for me.
• OMG, Paris and Doyle are absolutely terrible as parents.
• My heart breaks a little for Rory when she can’t find another way but ask for Mitchum’s help. I know how hard that is.
• How fast can all these people talk?
• There is not enough Rory and Lorelai time.
• Rory freaking out about her first ONS at 32 makes me love her even more.
• Logan is engaged to someone else??? NOOOOOOO!
• Seriously, everything Rory is feeling, I am feeling. That can totally be me at 32.
• So far, only one ex-boyfriend. And did she ever break up with Paul?

SUMMER

• Haha, how anti summer they are.
• “Welcome back!” Poor Rory, I know exactly how it feels.
• I just can’t look at Zack.
• It actually annoys me that Logan got engaged to someone who lives somewhere else. I mean, that was the reason he left Rory after graduation. Sure, he’s older now but I want them to be together.
• Stars Hollow has a secret bar that looks more fun and cooler than anything in a 50km radius from where I live.
• Nooooo, Michel. You can’t leave the DragonFly Inn. And where the hell is Sookie?
• Didn’t Lorelai say in winter that Sookie is taking a six month sabbatical? Well, it’s summer, so where is she? And there were only like five seconds of Jackson.
• I want to be editor in chief too. Even for a small newspaper. You can do so much with it.
• It makes me so sad to see that Lorelai and Rory both seem to be struggling.
• I love these people most for their eating habits.
• Could Rory’s phone be any bigger?
• I miss Miss Patty at the town meetings.
• How can there be a Stars Hollow musical without Kirk in it?
• And how annoying is the 30-something gang?
• STOP showing that stupid musical. I want to see the important things.
• FINALLY, here is Jess.
• I really hope he gets Rory out of her rut.
• It’s so horrible when Lorelai and Rory fight.
• And then Luke and Lorelei fight? Noooooo!
• Oh come on, Logan. Just leave her and be with Rory.
• OMG, I really, really, really hated summer.

FALL

• Really? Lorelai wants to do Wild? I can’t really see that happening.
• Yayyy, the Life and Death Brigade. Those guys are crazy but oh so fun.
• You’re never bored with Logan.
• I love how he always supports and pushes Rory to go for her dreams.
• Nooo, Rory and Logan saying goodbye is just too hard to watch.
• Oh Luke. Why can’t all guys be like Luke?
• Man, for a moment, I thought Luke and Lorelei would split but OMG, they’re finally getting married.
• I need a house by the coast.
• I can’t believe for how long Emily finally kept a maid.
• I like the new Emily.
• Christopher is another person who didn’t age, at all.
• I can’t believe Rory is giving up on journalism.
• Of course Rory and Dean just happen to bump into each other at Doose’s Market.
• Well, that was a quick meet but I’m not a Dean fan, anyway.
• Really? Sookie first appears in the final twenty minutes? WHY? I missed her.
• Wait, Sookie and Jackson moved upstate? I guess I didn’t see Jackson earlier, after all. It probably was wishful thinking.
• Michel and Sookie’s fights are the best.
• I can’t believe Emily scares kids at a museum now. But good for her.
• I would really love to read Rory’s book.
• Jess will never get over Rory because he never really tried to make it work. There will always be a “what if.”
• Wow, the town square has never looked more perfect than for Luke and Lorelai’s wedding.
• Was that an Alice in Wonderland theme?
• They’re having a mini wedding before the actual wedding? And Michel and Lane are there but not Jess or Sookie? That is not ok.
• Haha, Rory forgot to break up with Paul for a whole year.
• Rory is pregnant? Who is the father? Logan or the Wookie-ONS-guy? I need to do the math.
• Ok, it’s more likely to be Logan and he’s getting married to someone else. Great!
• I can’t belive how they ended the show. I’m actually screaming at my tablet.

So now, I guess it’s over and this ending totally did not satisfy me. I mean, I’m super happy that Lorelai and Luke finally got married but just ending the show with “Mom, I’m pregnant” is just not ok. I could accept this as a cliff-hanger in between seasons but this? I really think they have to make another revival when they’re all super old and Zack looks like 102. I’m still bummed that Rory and Logan didn’t end up together. Also, some typical Gilmore Girls features and characters were just missing and a lot of scenes just seemed too forced. I think it’s because us fans had super high expectations, it’s definitely easy to get disappointed. I liked winter and spring, I absolutely hated summer and fall was ok but that ending really had me screaming. But that’s just how it is with beloved TV shows: at some point they just have to end and there will always be some unanswered questions.

I know this was a long post and if you made it until here, well done. Of course, I would love to hear your opinions on this. Did you love or hate it? Which ex-boyfriend were you rooting for? Please share your emotions with me. It was so hard to not do it on Twitter because I didn’t want to spoil all the details for everyone.
