5 Things To Look For In The Gilmore Girls Revival

From Lorelai’s dream of befriending Amy Schumer to their joint defense of the nutritional benefits of tater tots, we can surely expect the wit to be back and better than ever.

5 Things To Look For In The Gilmore Girls Revival
ScreenRant

We’ve finally passed the final week mark – Gilmore Girls comes back to our screens in five days people! The trailer for “Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life” was released almost a month ago on October 25th, and since then we’ve been gifted with tidbits and teasers from some of our favorite Stars Hallow residents that have just barely managed to keep us through that last month of waiting. Now, with the premiere less than a week away, most of us are surely taking a second (or fourth) glance at that trailer for a fresh look at what we can expect come Friday. So between the trailers and promos we've been given, here are FIVE of the best things to look forward to with the four-part Netflix revival.

Bonus (!): As I'm writing this, I've discovered a second, full-length trailer I had no idea had come out and all I can say is YAS.

1. Lorelai and Rory's classic banter

The unique facet of the Gilmore show was no doubt the incredible pacing in its equally amazing writing, and thankfully the writers seem to have passed that on to its sequel (bless you, Amy Scherman-Palladino). Lorelai and Rory’s banter is on point with the same fast-paced, quirky repartee filled with their signature pop culture references. From Lorelai’s dream of befriending Amy Schumer to their joint defense of the nutritional benefits of tater tots, we can surely expect the wit to be back and better than ever.


2. Catching up with old characters

If the trailers are to be believed, we’re going back to Stars Hollow and literally getting to see everyonefrom the original show. Dean at Doosey’s Market (really hoping he did more for himself), Taylor heading town meetings, Babette and Miss Patty gossiping in the town square – everyone’s back, and some in some very unexpected places. Jess in Stars Hollow? Paris at Chilton? Kirk at Friday-night dinners? (Can’t wait for them to explain that one). The most beloved of Stars Hallow’s residents are taking up our screens as if they’d never left and we can’t wait to see what they’ve been up to for the last eight years.


3. Rory's career

Last we saw of Rory, she was off to join Barack Obama’s campaign trail in the first of surely many steps to become the next Christiane Amanpour. Yet now, what small teasers we could see from the trailers have her…in Chilton? Something clearly didn’t go as planned. Though realistic, in a sense, to show that even the smartest and most prepared students can struggle to find their way in the real world, I think we’re all curious to see how Rory found herself back in Stars Hallow. (Here’s hoping she finds her underwear.)


4. Old romances

Rory's love life had us hanging at the edge of our seats with her steady - and sometimes not so steady - stream of relationships throughout the show, but when she rejected Logan's proposal at the end of season seven, there was no doubt that that was exactly what was right for her at the time. However, eight years have passed and it doesn't seem like Rory has anyone significant in her love life as of right now and by the looks of things, she's about to run into some very familiar faces during her visit to Stars Hallow. Which one of her exes will be lucky enough to reconnect with her, if any at all? #TeamDean? #TeamJess? Nope, #TeamLogan all the way (in my totally unbiased opinion).


(A little side note to Luke and Lorelai: how are you not married yet?!)

5. Dealing with Richard's death

Edward Herrmann’s passing in 2014 was a devastating shock to the entire Gilmore Girls fandom, fans and cast alike. Richard was without a doubt one of the central characters of the original show, and I’m so glad they’re dealing with the actor’s passing so centrally in the revival. We’re getting to see how Richard’s death affects each one of the Gilmore women, what will no doubt add a deeper level of sentiment to the already nostalgic reboot – even if they can still find ways to bring out the humor in it in the classic Gilmore fashion.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
