The Gilmore Girls Revival: What Each Episode Gave to Fans
Digital Spy

It has been two weeks since the revival of Gilmore Girls, and now that everyone has had time to cool down over the shocking twist of an ending, it is time to look at why each episode makes sense, and how each one gives viewers the proper closure they have been waiting for.

Episode One: Winter

“Winter” is the episode that warms us up for the rest of the three episodes. We are introduced to all of the great characters we have missed watching, and what they are doing in their lives. This episode is exactly what we needed to see because it showed us that this was not going to be one of those revivals that ruins the show, but this is a revival that makes all the other seasons better.

-As the girls walk through town drinking Luke's coffee and talk as fast as they possibly can we think back to all of our favorite moments in each past episode.

-Some things in the town have changed, but as long as Miss Patty is teaching dance, Gypsy is fixing cars, and Al's Pancake World is serving anything but pancakes, it is still Stars Hollow.

Episode Two: Spring

"Spring" is the episode that references back more than the other three. It shows us that even though things may not always turn out how we expected with our careers and lives, everything is connected and each experience we have shapes us into the person we will be in our future.

-We see it with Rory as she struggles to have a career in journalism, but finds happiness in writing a book about her relationship with her mother.

-It is also shown with Kirk and Lane. Kirk has attempted every career possible and ends up being really amazing at planning Lorelei’s wedding. Lane did not end up making it big with her band, but she is happy as a mom, and she is still able to play with her band in town doing what she loves.

Episode Three: Summer

With all of the ups and downs that “Summer” gave us, it did

a great job of giving us closure with two important relationships: Emily and

Lorelei and Luke and Lorelei.

-Emily and Lorelei after years of being at each others throats began going to therapy, and even though it did not work right away, we see the two come clean with each other and really try to fix their relationship.

-As we have seen many times before, Lorelei runs when faced with relationships that have potential. What this episode gave to us was the chance to see that she is fully committed to her relationship with Luke, and when faced with the chance to leave forever, she doesn’t take it.

Episode Four: Fall

In “Fall,” full circle ending connections are made, whether they are small little flashback connections that make use laugh, or giant connections that we still cant believe.

-We finally get the wedding we have been waiting for since the first season when we realized Lorelei and Luke should never be just friends.

-As Rory is running around buying things for her mother's wedding, she runs into Dean and they laugh about the box of corn starch she stole after their first kiss in the first season.

-The plot twist that none of us were expecting: Rory is pregnant at age 32. Even though it may be upsetting, it does make sense if we look at the fact that Rory is the same age as Lorelei when season one began. Rory and Lorelei have always been connected in weird ways, being a single mother tops it all off.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
