445 Thoughts I Had While Watching “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life”

DO NOT continue reading this post UNLESS you have watched ALL four parts to the Gilmore Girls Revival Series: A Year In The Life!

In this post, I give you the list of the thoughts that went through my head as I binge-watched the revival series I’ve been dreaming about for months–all 445 of my thoughts to be exact. As of the time I am writing this post, we have only been finished watching it for about two hours, and I am still processing. I had the good fortune of being home the day after it aired, so I got to watch it with not only my husband but also my mother and sisters, which as you know from my earlier post meant so much to me. Long story short, I loved it but also hated it. To find out exactly what that means, you’ll have to watch the series yourself and then read this whole post! 🙂

So, without further ado, here are my thoughts on the revival of my favorite TV series in the world…

REALLY THOUGH if you haven’t watched it STOP reading! I will NOT have the guilt of ruining it for you on my hands!

But really this time…here we go.

140. Lorelai…did you not learn anything from hiding stuff from Luke the first time???

158. Round 3, here we go. Where is this pool??
159. I miss the cheesy intro montage.

162. Rory, you’re definitely back.
163. Ew, April, no one likes you go away
164. April smokes pot ?
165. I saw “Not Your Mother’s” hair products! Rory and I use the same texture spray! ???
166. April, you’re making everything weird and sucky.

168. STOP TALKING TO LOGAN. BREAK UP WITH HIM. RIGHT THIS MINUTE YOU LITTLE HUSSY.
169. Don’t listen to him! Cancel!!!
170. Rory…you can’t be disappointed that Logan is living with his FIANCÉE.
171. You made yourself the geisha!
172. Yes, it DOES have to be weird.
173. GAAAAHHHHHHH ???
174. Rory, you ARE back. And as much as I’m loving seeing you home, you’ve gotta get out.
175. Lazy crazy hazy days of summer…not again…it’ll never leave my head ?
176. Stars Hollow musical? Dear God why??
177. RORY YOU HAVE TO SAVE THE GAZETTE
178. Yes! Rory saves the gazette and marries Jess and lives happily ever after! This HAS to happen!
179. Ok, the 30-something gang jokes are getting old…

181. Why is Luke the lifeguard?
182. This episode is so confusing
183. Michel, why are you sucking just as much as Sookie?! So disappointing…
184. Oh geez, the therapist is crazy. Figures.
185. Since when is Taylor so pervy?
186. Wait, so Michel IS back? Except now he likes kids…
187. Oh good it was just an act.
188. I have a bad feeling about this “talk” with Michel
189. Nooooooooooooo!!!!
190. He IS leaving ?
191. This is ALL Sookie’s fault
192. I’m loving this secret bar though.
193. BREAK UP WITH PAUL.
194. Ok, I lied, she doesn’t need to work at the Gazette. She’s gotta get out of there.
195. Poor Luke, he’s truly underappreciated. Also I want one of his burgers.
196. Yay Lane is still working the antique shop ❤
197. Doyle, go away you suck.
198. Parents of the 30-something gang? Ok, they’ve both got to get out of there.
199. Now she has birds on her skirt?
200. Emily needs Lorelai ?
201. This musical is even more disturbing than expected…
202. We don’t need another musical scene…WHY?! What we NEED is JESS!!!
203. This is painful. Make it stop.
204. Ok, Taylor used to be a prude, not a perv. This is absolutely wrong.
205. WHY IS THERE ANOTHER MUSICAL SCENE
206. I cannot stress enough the amount of time wasted on this musical.
207. Uh oh…they’re gonna hate Lorelai.
208. It’s almost like she doesn’t fit in to Stars Hollow anymore… ?
209. What if she leaves??? ?
210. Although the Stars Hollow they’ve depicted so far truly isn’t familiar ?
211. WHAT is the point of spending so much time on this awful musical???
212. This episode sucks so far.

396. “How did you feel about mom raising me by herself?” …CRAP RORY IS PREGNANT WITH LOGAN’S CHILD!!!

439. A bit frustrated, but not surprised
440. FREAKING LOGAN SUCKS
441. At least we get more episodes, right?!? That’s what this HAS to mean…
442. Jess loves Rory, and Logan is marrying someone else and will be on again off again there for Rory and her kid, and Rory has to marry Jess.
443. If we don’t get to see Rory and Jess develop a relationship on screen I will be disappointed
444. Then again, I don’t want them to ruin it. It wouldn’t be the same without the same characters, and even though it sucks, the literary device has shown us exactly what will happen to Rory.
445. Well, it was crazy and emotional, but it was fun. Thanks Amy ❤
