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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
