The finale of Gilmore Girls we were given 9 long years ago left us with a whirlwind of questions, and this past Friday the small town in Connecticut opened its doors to us once again. In Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, we journey through Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, noticing many changes, but also noting the things that haven't changed a bit in the beloved town of Stars Hallow and the folks that reside there. The fast-paced dialogue, witty humor, and coffee addictions live on.

1. The opening scene.

Ah, yes. The very essence of Gilmore Girls brought back in the form of witty banter between our favorite mother-daughter duo, Rory and Lorelai.

2. The way Logan still calls Rory "Ace"

After all these years, we were surprised to find that Rory and Logan's "relationship" still carries on, however the revival clearly shows the two could never really fit into each others lives smoothly. But watching Logan care so deeply for Rory sure makes us swoon and flashback to all their troublesome Yale days.

3. Seeing familiar faces.

From a Paris Geller freakout moment in the Chilton bathroom, to seeing Hep Alien back in action, to Sookie's appearance at the Dragonfly, it was heartwarming to see how the lives of the people who molded this show panned out.

4. The book idea from Jess.

With no clear direction in her life, Rory seems to be at a standstill until Jess sparks the idea that gives her a new purpose: to write a book detailing the lives of her and Lorelai. Although these two seem to just be on friendly terms, the longing look he gives Rory at the end suggests so much more.

5. Lorelai's story about her father.

On a quest to clear her head, Lorelai calls her mother to finally admit her most cherished memory of her father, that had taken place when she was 13 years old. Arguably the most emotional scene throughout the revival, both Lorelai and Emily finally break the rift that was placed between them for so many years.

6. The corn starch reference.

A brief but nostalgic run in between Rory and Dean brought back a lot of memories, and it's clear that they were both meant to lead separate lives, but we couldn't help but smile at Rory picking up that box of corn starch.

7. Seeing Emily come to terms with Richard's death.

The absence of Richard Gilmore was deeply felt throughout these episodes, but at the end we finally get to see Emily in a new, and sometimes shocking, light. She sheds old habits, like the DAR, in pursuit of contentment.

8. Those. Last. Words.

As the time ticked down on those last minutes of the series, we waited anxiously for some witty remark that would leave us in comfort as we said goodbye to Gilmore Girls. And yet, we were given just the opposite.

"Mom?"

"Yeah."

"I'm pregnant."

To end a series with a cliffhanger seems so unfair, but in this case I'd argue that even though we'd like more closure, more answers, more episodes to be filmed, I think it's better off this way. Amy Sherman-Palladino didn't intend for closure, but for us to find a way to close the book on our own. One thing's for certain: life is nothing short of unanswered questions.
