"Gilmore Girls" was an incredible, life-changing show that first aired in October 2000. It starred Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore and Alexis Bledel as her daughter, Rory Gilmore. The show was an emotional roller coaster that showcased their adventures in a small town. In a deeper sense, the show highlighted the effects of social class on how people navigate their lives and deal with problems.

The general premise of the show is grounded in Lorelai's background. She came from a very wealthy family who was overwhelmingly concerned with their social status and overall appearance as a family. Lorelai got pregnant as a teenager, though, and sort of defamed the family's image. This created a tension between Lorelai and her parents, Richard and Emily Gilmore, that carried through until the ending of the show. The show constantly juxtaposes Emily and Richard's life of wealth with Rory and Lorelai's small town life and makes clear commentary about who lives a more genuine and fulfilling life.

There is something about this show that just sucks a viewer in and forces them to deeply care about even the most inconsequential side-characters. The viewer cares about this town's store owners and mailmen, which is an extremely hard passion to provoke through any sort of media.

And the show is returning.

That's right, "Gilmore Girls" is coming back! Many characters have signed back on for the revival, including all three of Rory's love interests and Lorelai's most significant love interest, Luke Danes played by Scott Patterson.

Here is what I hope to see in the reboot.

1. I hope Paris is alive and well.

She was certainly eccentric, but I really grew attached to her and Rory's friendship.

2. I hope Jess is successful (and that him and Rory reconnect).

Jess has a beautiful soul, and he and Rory have a natural connection. I hope Jess's maturity finally gives them a chance to work things out.

3. I hope Lorelai and Luke are married.

Luke and Lorelai were always incredibly complicated people, but it was always clear they were meant to be.

Here is what I hope not to see.

1. I hope I do not see solely white actors.

"Gilmore Girls," while endlessly emotional and entertaining, had almost exclusively white characters. I hope the reboot includes some more people of color.

2. I hope I do not see blatant homophobia.

Not only were there no official LGBTQ+ characters in the entire series, but also potentially homophobic jokes sprinkled throughout. I understand that vaguely homophobic jokes fit the bill for a small-town macho man like Luke, but liberal Lorelai and Rory made their fair share of lesbian jokes, and it does not seem like we can chalk those up to character attributes.

3. I sincerely hope Rory is not with Logan.

I'm sorry, but if you liked Rory with the pretentious creep that got her into so much trouble at Yale, then you don't care about her at all.
