As everyone knows, the Gilmore Girls revival is coming up, and everyone is freaking out. From way back in 2000, the show captivated the mother-daughter world with Friday night dinners and endless cups of coffee. Ever since there's been news of the Netflix revival of the show, no one can contain their excitement! Now the show will focus on a grown-up Rory, a widowed Emily, and a confused Lorelai. All three seem to be lost and intend to find out who they want/need to be, so technically, I guess it's just the same as always. But now we get to find out who Rory chooses to fall in love with, if Luke and Lorelai will ever get married, and what kinds of jobs Kirk now has volunteered to do around the town. So, in order to get yourselves prepared for this exciting time, here are some helpful hints for how to get yourselves ready.
1. Wikipedia past seasons
I have a terrible memory, so if you're anything like me, you go on the internet to remind yourself on what the heck happened, especially since the last episode aired back in 2007. Plus it would be beneficial to remember all the drama with Rory and Dean, then Jess, then Dean again, then Logan, then Jess again and so on. And we can't forget about Lorelai's relationships; With her and Max, then Alex, then Jason, and Luke, and all the mess that is her and Christopher.
2. Make a grocery store run
One of the best things about Gilmore Girls is their eating habits. From their excessive amount of time spent at Luke's to getting international cuisine at Al's Pancake World, they have no problem helping out local businesses financially. And all the ice cream and junk food runs to Doose's market for their movie nights in. Heaven. So make sure to sit down on November 25th with all the snacks you can carry and watch this revival!
3. Watch. The. Trailer.
I, personally, teared up a little when watching it — my love for this show is too real. So if you're a die-hard GG fan like me, you probably will too. Seeing all the original characters come back for the 4 episodes is really special. And the part where we find out Richard passed away was so upsetting! His and Emily's relationship was sometimes the best comical relief of an episode. But when the theme song comes on during the trailer, make sure you belt it out as loud as you can because I know everyone who has ever watched that show knows every word and every montage at every part. Ahh, memories.
4. Hug your mom
It's no secret that Lorelai and Rory are best friends, just as every mother and daughter should be. So I know come Thanksgiving, my mom and I will watch it hard core in front of the TV all day eating junk food and talking about our favorite GG moments. So just be thankful you have your mom with you to watch this with and thank her everyday for being your best friend.
So raise your scotch and your cups of coffee all you Gilmore Girls lovers, because it's coming back!
