"And where you lead, I will follow. Anywhere that you tell me to. If you need, you need me to be with you. I will follow where you lead." If you read these lyrics and instantly thought of "Gilmore Girls", we can be instant best friends right! (Slightly creepy?...maybe) It is a classic, a show we all know and love (if not, that's a darn shame). Without further ado, here are my reactions, as told by the Gilmore girls:
1. What? Who?
I am not one to love stupid, blunt humor. Rather, I enjoy the quick one liners of the fast paced conversations; this show has plenty! Sometimes there are name drops of people in their scripts of people I have no clue who they are. They are probably classic names of actors/actresses, but I usually shrug it off and continue watching the show. I'm sure if I knew who they were spewing off about, it would enhance the story line even more! Eh, oh well.
2. OMG! There's like 20 seasons!
I remember watching this show every day after school on ABC Family! It was the highlight of my day. Even though I have seen a lot of the episodes, I had not seen them in order. When I finally decided to re-watch "Gilmore Girls", I was stoked to see 7 seasons plus to hear the new series that came out in November. You have to love a long TV show, so you aren't always searching to find a new one every week...or day (oops).
3. Lorelai will you be my mother?
Lorelai Gilmore is pretty much the coolest person ever! She has such an unique relationship with Rory (her daughter), even when they have been through so much together. Lorelai always seems to have it together and when she doesn't, she gets back up and tries again! Who wouldn't want pop-tarts and ice-cream for breakfast every morning? Coffee, anyone?
4. When will Luke and Lorelai finally get together?
You could feel the tension from the beginning! I mean look! You can just see it from the beginning! If you don't, you might be blind or slightly unromantic. Throughout the seasons, Luke and Lorelai have a back and forth thing going on. My gosh Luke! Kiss her already! (I won't spoil this any further!)
5. Melissa McCarthy, we knew you and loved you first!
Her role as Sookie St. James was her first well-known role as a TV/Movie actress! Of course, she has blown up since then and now is a big star. With every reason and recognition! She is an amazing actress and is hilarious in her movies. In "Gilmore Girls", she has a more innocent/gullible role! Still love her no matter what!
6. Paris Geller, you are my spirit animal!
There are times we loathe her, but most of the time we love her. She is competitive, blunt, snarky, a perfectionist, a little socially awkward, but underneath it all she is a genuine person (believe it or not). At first, she is rivals with Rory, but soon becomes a best friend. They always have an interesting relationship; it is so real! I can't imagine this show without her!
7. It's over already?
You feel like you grew up with Rory and went through it all with Lorelai and the Gilmore family, and before you know it the episodes end. It is such a sad day...and then you realize that there is a whole other series! 10 years later, they make a comeback and it is the greatest thing ever! It's a different feel, but in the same breath it is a semisweet ending. There has to be more! I'm not okay with the ending!
Hopefully, I didn't spoil too much for you! If you haven't watched "Gilmore Girls" you have to! I'm not kidding! It is a sweet, genuine, clever show. You will not be wasting your life away (okay...well maybe that's a lie), but it will at least be worth it! "Gilmore Girls" forever. Hearts, hearts, and hearts!
