I'm sure a lot of people are tired of hearing about the Gilmore Girls revival coming out this November. I am not one of those people, and I will unapologetically keep writing articles and talking about this monumental return until the good Lord calls me home probably.
As most everyone knows, last week Netflix released the first official trailer for the four part revival. I am not ashamed to say that I have not stopped screaming and crying internally. The amount of times I have watched it is probably unhealthy, but everyone should be proud of me because I have yet to physically cry over it.
That being said, there are a lot of things to cry about in regards to this classic show's return. I'll just name a few for you.
1. Richard's death
Edward Herrmann was an iconic character in the show. He was smart and loving, and I have no doubt that I am going to cry endlessly with the three remaining Gilmore girls as the deal with his passing.
2. ALL of Rory's ex-boyfriends are back.
Dean. Jess. Logan. They're all back, and Amy has taken special care to reveal NOTHING about their current role in Rory's life. Personally, I (happy) screamed when Jess popped up on the screen during the trailer, frowned when Dean's too-long hair flopped into view, and returned Logan's smirk with one of my own because despite how wrong he is for Rory, I love his character.
3. Luke and Lorelai are back together
The season 7 finale left us all hanging. Yes, they kissed in the middle of the street, but so do lots of people in fiction that never end up staying together. Thanks to the released photos and now the trailer we have confirmation that the perfect duo is back together again.
4. April and Christopher have returned
I don't think I have ever hated two characters in a television show as much as I do April and Christopher. All they ever managed to do was mess everything up.
5. IT'S BACK
FINALLY, after long, long years of waiting, we get to return to Stars Hollow. It's a magical place with magical snow and magical Luke's coffee. All the greats are back: Taylor, Kirk, Michel, Sookie, and so many more. How can you not cry at the happiness that this brings?
