In a valiant effort to remember every single detail about "Gilmore Girls" before "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" comes out THIS WEEK (I'm not excited at all), rewatching was a must. What astonished me the most was how different our favorite characters looked from their first episode to the revamp. Here are how a few of your favorites have changed.
The Family
Emily Gilmore
In the first episode, Emily Gilmore is nearly unrecognizable without her signature hair and perfectly done makeup. She's almost as unrecognizable in the previews from the new episode, simply for the fact that she is wearing *GASP* a t-shirt. Old Emily would never have been caught dead in such a horrible fashion, as she reminded Lorelai several times.
Richard Gilmore
RIP Richard Gilmore. He is one of the only people who could put up with Emily Gilmore for (most) of his life. In "Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life," he is memorialized in a gigantic painting that is like "THE WHOLE WALL!"
The Eccentrics
Sookie St. James
Well. Nothing has changed here. Sookie is still in the kitchen causing chaos. Then, it was the fact that she had to go to the doctor to get her finger looked at from where she cut it. Now, it's the pornographic nature of icing tubes.
Michel Gerard
Still helping out at the Dragonfly Inn. I think it speaks volumes about Lorelai's patience that Michel STILL works for her and Sookie.
Taylor Doose
The first we see Taylor, he's harassing Luke to put up Thanksgiving decorations in the diner. In the trailer for "Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life," he's standing where he rightly belongs at the front of the town leading a town meeting where everyone looks like they begrudge the fact that they're at the meeting. Yep, everything is the same in Stars Hollow.
Kirk Gleason
Fun fact, in the first episode, he was referred to as Mick. People are worried that something is between Kirk and Lorelai given that he's at Friday night dinner, but the fact that Emily asks who the heck he is shows that Kirk is just as crazy and random as ever. Can't wait to see how many more jobs he has taken on.
The Friends
Paris Geller
Same stairwell, almost the same look, definitely same Paris. Fortunately this time, she's walking beside Rory instead of glaring at her. Hopefully, in the past eight years, Rory and Paris have only grown closer.
Lane Kim
Slightly more grown-up Lane Kim. With cooler hair and an even better band tee wardrobe. At this point, she has to be the coolest mom on the Stars Hollow Elementary School PTA.
The Guys
Dean Forrester
Always with the looks over the shoulder. It's his aesthetic I guess. His hair has gotten longer. Hopefully, his decision-making skills have gotten better.
Jess Mariano
Gorgeous at any time. Gorgeous with the coif, gorgeous with long hair. Jess Mariano used to be a bad boy, but now, he looks like a great guy who you would love to have a glass of Scotch with. *Ahem* Rory.
Logan Huntzberger
Better fashion sense, still the same smug-ish grin. Good old Logan will never change. Or hopefully he will because I was not one of his fans.
Luke Danes
I feel weird putting him in the guys category because Luke is not just a guy, Luke is *THE* man. If you aren't Team Luke, you can go home now.
The Girls
Lorelai Gilmore
Why does she look like she's on the brink of crying in both of these photos? Both of them involve Luke, and one of them involves coffee. So I guess you have your answer to that one.
Rory Gilmore
Still the classic blue-eyed girl, Rory has some more experience and more troubles behind them, but they're still the same blue eyes.
Tune in on November 25th to see all the ways their personalities have changed.
