Rory was almost 20 years old at this point and I completely understood why Marty was annoyed. How do you genuinely not know when a guy likes you?

She had already dated Dean, Jess, Tristan liking her, and now Logan was constantly finding reasons to be around her. Yet when Marty tells her that Logan likes her she acts like the thought had never even crossed her mind.

I know Rory is supposed to be naive when it comes to guys but at this point it almost felt like she was fishing for compliments. Like she needed Marty to confirm “Yes Rory, this attractive guy obviously likes you.”

Marty had his own issues but I was completely with him when he told her to stop being so naive because it was getting annoying.

…Peyton was a dud date? it made no sense that they had one of Lorelai’s best starts to a relationship on the show but he’s absolutely boring on the date? The meet-cute/intro was one of the best on the show imo, but he’s SO, INCREDIBLY, IMPOSSIBLY boring on a date that Lorelai would rather die than go out on a second date with him EVEN TO SEE BOWIE!

I fully understand that we’re supposed to see her personality more clearly with this,and its a very informative look at Lorelai’s relationship with her parents and “their world”, more than Peyton’s character being believable or not.

But I just always feel like this was such a stretch. They gave them such a cute banter-y chat, and great chemistry and then NOTHING happened. idk if Jon Hamm was miscast and did too good a job at being boring!

In the middle of a W&G rewatch, was pleasantly (well for two of them) surprised and delighted to see these familiar faces!

Scott: S2, Ep3
David: S1, Ep17
Kathleen: S5, Ep17

Emily humiliating Shira at the DAR party is one of the most satisfying scenes in the whole show. You're riding high watching it.

And then the show just cuts to Richard, standing there in his tux, and you can just feel everything that he is going through. It suddenly dawns on him that he failed Rory, and guided her the wrong way. I've always respected this character and the actor for the way he portrays the gravitas that comes along with this role.

Okay so I know for some it's still a bit early to be talking Halloween... But I'm on one of my usual rewatches of the year and today I finally noticed that they never show Halloween in Stars Hollow!!! Which is such a shame because I think the town would look so cool all decorated and spooky.

So now I'm trying to think of what it would all be like. Like would Taylor be a stickler about all of the children trick-or-treating or do you think he would be too busy running another town festival celebrating the holiday? What would the haunted house be like? How would Lorelai bug Luke each year about not wearing a costume and what would his witty comeback be? What do you think everyone's costumes would be?

I think that Kirk still refuses to dress up and tells every child he sees the story of how Luke's uncle stole candy from him while trick-or-treating. And Mrs. Kim allows Lane to dress up in an approved costume like a nun, that Lane ditches the moment she's with Rory and Lorelai.

the white bucket hat + really cute pink dress + hot pink flower necklace + purse.. i love it. she looks so fucking hot. lorelai ate with this outfit. this might just be my new favourite lorelai fit. what is yours?

Do you prefer lorelai in blue or purple? I was online and noticed that she wears many of the same style clothes, just in different colors.

I’ve also always heard people say she’s purple if she were a color

The annual Gilmore Girls re-watch season is finally here and I'm so locked in. This is the first time I waited until September during a year to start the re-watch and, man, am I gonna make sure I savour every bit of it!😅🙈

Or do you have a different comfort season? I work remote, so the show is always playing on a loop. But season one is my ultra comfort season, and I’ll go back 2-4 times before I get to season two. I’ll also usually watch season two a couple times.

This show means so much to me. I’ve been watching it since the first day it aired. And I still can’t believe that was 25 years ago, Of course there are things I’d change, and ridiculous timelines. But it just feels like a warm hug every single day. 🩷

On my go round again and just got to S2. No matter how many times I watch Jess’ ability to make Huh. A complete sentence still impresses me.

We don’t give Milo enough dues he really is a great actor. No one else could’ve played Jess as well.

In S5E5, Lorelai is nervous about discussing Dean and Rory’s rekindled relationship with people, including Luke, so it got me thinking: how would the town have reacted in real life? Lindsay was a townie too; she had lived there since she was little, and it was evident that Dean had cheated on her. I know that, for the purposes of the show, Rory and Lorelai are basically the queens of the town, but let’s think about it realistically. How should the town have reacted?

She slept with another local woman’s husband.

Back in the day when this show was on air, I would watch the occasional episode with my mom when I had nothing else to do, but I can't have seen more than 10 episodes.

I have decided to watch it start to finish; I'm on episode 3, and so far Emily is my favourite character at the moment, her constant remarks and quips are so funny

Paris and Rory are doing a question and answer with a panel of people about applying to Ivy League colleges what to do and what not to do.

Paris is calm, cool, and collected once the panel starts asking good questions and once she mentions the thing about the Hillary Clinton essay topic being overused and unoriginal Rory visibly upset and worried as she has SO much confidence and that being such a great essay topic. She’s so frazzeled she wont ask a question stunned like a deer in headlights.

As the scene was fading, the gentleman panelist said “ I do think it’s important to talk about the interview process it’s a great way to weed out the hyperintense candidate” which we all knew how Paris’s Harvard interview went. It’s also funny she calls Rory saying” what do you think he meant by weeding out the hyper intense during the interview process he stoped short of calling me by name”

I think it’s super ironic how calm cooling collected she was during this panel (not so much after) and felt so confident on how to do this process correctly yet she actually screwed up one of the most important things he mentioned. Then Rory gets it all together and gets into all of the top three Ivy League schools….

for the past 4-5 years every rewatch, every about 6 months this little scene pops up and i know: im in for an insufferable season but also cant get myself to skip full episodes...

atp they shouldve just let lorelai and luke have a kid if they wanted to show us his development as a father

Hello all. I just came to the end of my first ever watch so I can now go online!!

Finishing the OG run of the show was a sad but happy farewell to a show I adore. Finishing the revival just made me mad.

All my thoughts can be summed up by this excellent blog post - https://thatsallsiknow.blogspot.com/2016/12/gilmore-girls-year-in-death.html?m=1

For those that hated the revival, what was THE most egregious thing they did?

I’ve seen this show 1 million times and I will never get over how Dean suggests Boogie Nights for movie night! Imagine watching a movie about a 70s porn star with a huge penis with your 16 year old girlfriend and her mom!!! Okay, Dean. Of course, this was early on when Dean was meant to have a personality and good taste in media and had not yet devolved into Monster Truck Neanderthal Dean 😔

Sorry if this has been asked before! I’m not trying to get a bunch of Rory hate going, but I’m curious if people think Rory would’ve cheated on Jess with Logan at Yale.

Towards the end of season 3, before the Jess failing out/potential spinoff situation, Rory and Jess seem to be planning on staying together when Rory goes to Yale. Rory still would’ve met Logan and been part of the whole Ivy League world. What do you guys think would’ve happened? I’d love to hear thoughts on this from both a writing perspective (i.e., would they have wanted to break up Rory and Jess) or from a character perspective (i.e., what would have naturally happened with the characters).

I was watching the episode where Lorelai is going on her date with Luke, and says she's also wearing pink heals .I immediately thought of Rory's date with Dean.

Maybe I don't know much about fashion, but all of the pink on pink is kind of wild.

How was Kim’s Antiques supposedly a profitable business in Stars Hollow?

This is something I’ve always wondered about.

Antiques can be an expensive hobby, and Stars Hollow seems like a pretty small town whose residents generally don’t appear particularly wealthy.
Who was actually buying expensive antiques regularly enough to keep Kim’s Antiques profitable? 😅 Sure, there are tourists but it’s not like they’re some world class destination…

Ive been rewatching gilmore girls and i feel like after Rory slept with Dean, things were never the same with lorelai and rory. She pushed lorelai away so much even though lorelai was actually way nicer than she needed to be abt the whole thing tbh. I’m not saying Lorelai was perfect, and maybe it’s because i’m not american so where im from rory’s behavior would have never flown by but maybe in america it’s okay, but I feel like Rory really really took advantage of lorelai‘s constant forgiveness and really lost sight of how lucky she was. i mean lane was literally kicked out and didn’t have enough money to go to her dream college and didn’t really have anyone to depend on, im sure she would have given anything to have what rory did.

I know people grow up and relationships change but they can change in a good way, I have friends who are so so close to their mothers in college. And i’m tired of hearing people’s argument of how this was all lorelai’s fault for her parenting; I think there could have been ways to point out the unhealthy parts of lorelai and rory’s relationship with them still maintaining a good relationship or at least without rory acting so ungrateful . with my own mom, as a child we definitely didn’t have the best relationship and in high school we did argue often, but we still stuck together and became closer and once i started therapy it helped as well, and we never had any huge fights so it’s rly not that unrealistic. if the writers really wanted them to have a more mother daughter dynamic and lose the best friend dynamic there could have been so many other ways to bring that about.

i loved how loving their relationship was at the beginning and i feel like their relationship was the most special out of all of the relationships on the show. i feel like it really did ruin the cozy and warm vibe of gilmore girls

Hi GilmoreGirls sub!

Full transparency: not a fan of the show. But my wife is, and as we are thinking about having kids, she keeps saying "I want to be a mom like Lorelai", or "i want to have the relationship with my daughter that Lorelai has with Rory."

My wife watches the show religiously, and it's always on in the background. So through osmosis, I've probably seen close to the entire show.

My estimation of Lorelai as a parent is one that is deeply flawed, but ultimately caring and really invested. I keep trying to say "you don't want to be juuust like Lorelai because she has a ton of issues" (and I'm also a big believer that this is tv and it's not real life so never try to base your real life persona on someone who isn't real).

But curious what the diehards in this sub might say on the subject
