Hellobee Boards

I said "Wait....WHAT?!?!" over and over for about two minutes. I wanted more closure! And while I was Team Logan I can't really see him being up for that.

Also I get that Melissa McCarthy was only available for a few hours of shooting but it didn't ring true that she wouldn't have been at the wedding.

Loved Paris, the musical, Lorelei "doing Wild", and Emily's arc. Basically any time they even mentioned Richard I cried.

First of all, I literally smiled so big the entire time I watched it. It is one of my all time favorite shows, so I enjoyed being able to see the characters again.

I went in to the revival team Jess and I came out of it still team Jess, but slightly team Logan, also. The way I see it, Jess is Rory's Luke and Logan is her Christopher.

I seriously went....WHATTTTT?! With the final four words. I also tried to piece together how it would have worked if the final four words were said at the end of season 7. How things would be totally different. I think the whole point of it is to see that Rory and Lorelei came full circle and Rory ended up in a similar situation to Lorelei. Although, it would have been more similar at the end of the original series.

I guess I am definitely happy that we finally see Luke and Lorelei get married, but I wasn't necessarily a fan of the whole dancing through the garden scene before that.

All-in-all, I'm left wanting more. I would like to see where Rory ends up and what she ends up doing with her life/baby.

I thought the last 4 words would be spoken by one person not short 1-2 word sentences. Doesn't seem like the final 4 words to me. Was not expecting that end!

@schubr03: Yeah, I felt like the musical could have ended after the first act, but it just kept going for like TEN MINUTES! I started cleaning around the house while I was going on, haha.

I'm also really curious who's the father of Rory's baby! My bet is Jess, with that longing look he gave her through the window. But who knows! Gahhh!! I need more!!!

I loved it, though I have mixed feelings on the ending. I actually DO feel like it's an ending. They mentioned quite a few times about the circle of life and whatnot....I think it was just driving the point home that Logan = Christopher and Jess = Luke (thank God, cause I was always a die hard team Jess lol)

I just want moooooooore!

I'm wondering if there wasn't more between Jess and Rory because of their real life breakup....maybe it's still awkward and the chemistry has just changed. I felt like there was more chemistry with Logan than there had been in the earlier seasons. I did feel like the whole affair thing was....just....odd? And Rory being so lost? I feel like I need more about the story in-between....how did things GET that way? Am I the only one?

@ValentineMommy: I agree. I feel like we go to such extremes with Rory. At the end of the series, she is so sure of herself and her path. And now...she's totally lost and not focused. Doesn't make much sense. It's not her personality.

I am also a die hard Team Jess!

@erinbaderin: @schubr03: Oh, you guys may be right. I watched all four episodes back to back and forgot that that one last get-together occurred during the "Fall" segment, so it definitely could be Logan's baby!

@ValentineMommy: @schubr03: I can definitely see how Rory could've become such a mess. I feel like there were a few seasons there where she was kind of a mess (and I blame Logan which is why I never liked him)! Plus she cheated with Dean when he was married, so clearly married men aren't off limits for her!

I loved this show so much when it was on before, but I couldn't muster up much excitement for the revival. But I watched it, and I liked some of it. Specifically, I loved Paris in it, she was so great. And Luke was great, as always. But the rest of it seemed...forced. Rory just seemed so off the whole time, and forgive me for saying this, but she did not seem 32 to me. I guess this is partially because she looks so young, but also because I am a year older than that and I can't relate to how she is living her life. Also, she seems kind of selfish to me, and that bums me out.
I'm pretty sure the implied baby daddy is Logan, which sucks because I wish it were Jess.
The musical was pointless and a waste of time. It actually really bugs me that ten minutes of the show was spent on that instead of any other plot line.
Lastly, I wanted more of Lane and Zach. I always thought that their story was really interesting, especially the twins part, and I was a little disappointed at how little we learned about them now.
What if there are some grand plans to have a new show with Rory and her baby?!?! That would be so cool!

@Mrs. Cereal: I thought the first segment (Winter) did seem forced. It just felt off for some reason, and I wasn't sure if it was because I hadn't watched Gilmore Girls in years or for some other reason. But I felt like it was more in it's groove by Summer and Fall.

I'm 32 and while I can't really relate to what a mess Rory was, it does seem realistic to me. I have some friends who are messes. Some friends have a good career going, but their personal lives are a disaster. And some are the other way around. I can definitely see someone who majored in journalism being a mess at 32 (no offense intended, journalism majors!).

@ValentineMommy: That's a good point, I didn't really think about how much time has passed. So she went on tour with Obama, and then....she wrote a few articles for the Atlantic and one for the New Yorker? And that's it? Some more details about what she's been up to would have been good. Even just something about how she worked for a paper for a while and then it closed down because print is dead, or she quit to take the next step just like she gave up her apartment, something.

@erinbaderin: Exactly - just a teeny bit of info, and less of the musical nonsense would have been great lol!

I'm watching it through again.

Totally agree about Logan is Christopher, and Jess is Luke. And thus the cycle continues. But while I'm sure it is to be implied that Rory has a girl, I would like to see her have a son named Richard.

Big wtf moments include the musical, as well as Lane's dad. Lorelai going to California to hike. And the whole Naomi thing. It could have focused more on original characters.

Overall I liked it, but I felt like a bunch of things were just off. Like the Lorelai going hiking thing. I also was disappointed in Rory for the affair with Logan. I felt like she should've had more respect for herself. And what was his deal - he'd never been shown as a cheater before, I don't think. So was he was he still in love with Rory or just a ?

I also thought if they were going to set Jess up to be her Luke there needed to be more interest coming from her. Unless they were implying he was going to be like season 1 Luke and just pine after her while she doesn't notice him? That seems weird.

The musical was terrible, but it's part of the show's schtick to have these awful small town productions. Like the episode where they turn a house into the Stars Hollow museum and they have all these mannequin scenes.

As for Suki, they did weird things with her character and that scene was just awkward. I would've liked more resolution on the story line with her and Michele and the Inn.

@ShootingStar: He did sleep with all his sister's bridesmaids when he hadn't even clearly broken up with Rory (she heard they weren't dating from his sister on Thanksgiving)

From the beginning he said he wasn't a commitment kind of person.

I'm actually coming to terms with the idea that that's the final end. And reading everyone's comments makes me feel better! I feel like Logan is the same guy he's always been (as in he can't commit and Rory is too timid/nice/afraid of commitment to make a fuss over it). I do like the idea that Jess will essentially always be in her life (through Luke).

Overall leaving it like this lets me imagine my own ending! Haha. Not exactly satisfying as a fan but I like the idea from a writer's standpoint.

i also enjoyed the musical! it made me laugh, and they got such talented people to do it! i frankly enjoyed the life and death brigade part too, plus lorelai's wedding. but i agree that rory was a bit of a mess through the whole four episodes, and while lorelai and emily got a lot of satisfying closure, she really was really left a question mark. it felt a little to me like the were setting her up for more episodes (notwithstanding the fact that the last four words were long-planned).

@Mrs. Microscope: Awww! A son named Richard! I love that!!

@ValentineMommy: Ugh, when Rory walked into Richard's study and he was in there... ALL THE TEARS IN THE WORLD!!!

I was disappointed in the revival. I thought some conversations dragged on too long and that musical was pointless. If I could have easily fast forwarded it, I would have.

There was not enough between Rory and Jess. It left me dissatisfied. I hated that she was cheating with Logan, I hated the random guy Paul who she treated terribly. Her character just kind of sucked.

Am I the only one kind of annoyed we didn't find out if Sookie's third baby was a boy or a girl?

The scenes with Emily were all amazing. She's aged so well! It was also nice to see a lot of the cast again.

The last four words.... I don't know. Yeah, she's pregnant but she's 32 with a college degree from Yale. I feel like her situation from Lorelei's is so different that it was unnecessary to end it this way.
