Gilmore Girls **SPOILERS AHEAD**

[doodler]

Talk to me!

[doodler]

So I watched them while doing other things because I was afraid that I would read a spoiler and it would ruin it for me. Now I feel like I need to go back and watch again with my full attention!

[doodler]

Things I didn't like:
-The boyfriend Paul storyline. So stupid.
-The fact that Rory is sleeping with an engaged man.
-The time they wasted on the stupid musical.
-The damn ending(and the fact that there is no explanation).

[frankenboom]

It was all just kind of...expected...for me. I loved it only because I love the Gilmore Girls.

Other than that I thought it was...meh, and really ruined Rory as a character for me.

**SPOILER** Talking about the actual ending here

SPOILER: Click to show

I knew someone was going to be pregnant. After the surrogate stuff I was pretty certain it wouldn't be Lorelai. Once Rory was having the conversation with Christopher in his office, I knew it was her, so the ending didn't shock me. I feel Rory's ultimate karma for her general awfulness will be that the baby will be the Wookie's.

God, the musical was bad. So so so bad.

[doodler]

Things I liked:
-The wedding
-Luke's declaration of love at the end.
-Logan's abs
-The whole scene with the life and death brigade
-Paris

[doodler]

frankenboom the first thing I thought after Rory said it was OMG what if it was the Wookie.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Man, I have lots of thoughts and feels. Good and bad.

GOOD
- Seeing Mr. Kim! lolol
- Paris' bathroom meltdown was hilarious. And Francie being back. Omg.
- Luke freaking out about thinking Lorelai was going to dump him was SO great.
- There was plenty of Kirk, which made me happy.
- Michel was just as savage as ever, he was always my fave.
- Emily's life transformation was so enjoyable. Seeing her in jeans killed me.

BAD
- Fat-shaming that poor guy at the pool! Leave him alone!
- K. Rory. Seriously. You already were the other woman. I'm so mad that she is in that position again. And I'm mad that Logan would be such a piece of garbage. I always was #teamjess but he should be classier than that.
- Her career story is also nuts and frustrated me. Who paid for her to fly to the UK so much, because she couldn't even afford to renew her driver's license or whatever in Stars Hollow?? Or her feeling too special to teach at Chilton. Idk. She just isn't very smart with this stuff after 10 years. I guess that's the point, but it is hard to watch lol.
- The musical went on FOREVER. Ugh. Only the last song was worth watching.
- Also, the trippy tango club excursion was confusing. It seemed like a dream, then it wasn't. Back to my other point, the fact that Logan is planning all this stuff for Rory while his fiancee is at home is such trash. Both of them know better and I hate it.
- The Paul storyline was trying too hard.
- I feel some type of way about the cliff-hanger. Bleh.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Would the timeline work for the baby to belong to the Star Wars guy? At least, somewhat feasibly? I totally assumed it was that night in New Hampshire and that she would've maybe just found out around the time she told Lorelai?

Maury can come help figure it out next season, which I'm guessing will be a thing.

[doodler]

ohinvrtedworld I agree with most of your thoughts. I will also say that I never liked Jess but he totally redeemed himself in my eyes.

Also, I loved the tango club thing. I did however have to take my feelings about Logan cheating on his fiance out of it. I've always liked those guys though.

[doodler]

Kirk was funny and I chuckled at his OOOber storyline. I'm meh about the Emily stuff. I have never really liked her and nothing about that changed.

Oh man! Emily was who I laughed about the most in the original show. My favorite was when she was reading the interview Lorelai did in a magazine where she talked about her mom, and yelled "I did NOT have a "bitch fight" with Jimmy Carter!"

[ohinvrtedworld]

Ok, another realization. Didn't Emily say something about a mean letter that she thought Lorelai wrote? Why wasn't that resolved?? Why bring it up?

Yes!!!  I agree.  Apparently it was such a huge game changer for Emily and then they just never mention it again.

Also, I totally missed that Berta was played by the same actress as Gypsy.  

[doodler]

Also, I realize that it would have totally thrown Paris though a loop, but I always wanted Rory to get together with Tristan in the original series and I got excited when he popped up at Chilton for the reunion. Then Paris went all Paris-y and I was sad to realize that he and Rory wouldn't reconnect.

I laughed hysterically at the ooober because it's so Kirk.

If the last four words are about him, then I hope they can work it out.

Also, if he is a cheater, and she is willing to sleep with a man who is engaged to another woman, then they probably deserve each other.

The whole situation just annoys me.

I absolutely cackled at that line. It was perfect. 

[TheEleventhHour]

I enjoyed it a lot. I loved Paris and Kirk. The scene in the bathroom at Chilton with Francie was hilarious. Kirk was just Kirk and it was perfect. I also loved when Lorelei tells Rory the town got Kirk and Lulu the pig because they had been talking about having a baby lol. Some of my other favorite scenes were with Emily. I fucking loved when she lost her shit at the DAR meeting.

I basically cringed any time they showed Logan and Rory. Logan being engaged ruined it for me. It would have been way less cringe worthy for me if they were just dating multiple people. But Logan's abs. Huge fan. I am somewhere between #teamjess and #teamlogan overall.

I was zero percent surprised at the ending and didn't feel like it was a cliffhanger really. I feel like the writers want us to make the connections between Lorelei and Rory - Logan is Rory's Christopher, Jess is Rory's Luke, she will be a single mom while figuring her shit out. I would be surprised if they film anything else. Amy Sherman-Palladino has basically said as much.

And all of the musical stuff can seriously go suck a fuck. So bad. I mean the musical totally screamed Taylor but still DNW. Such a waste of precious time. Maybe they could have nixed Sutton Foster and given me more Melissa McCarthy.

[TheEleventhHour]

Also frankenboom fucking dying over here at the thought of the baby being the Wookie's. I assumed Logan and totally did not even remember the wookie. I mean, statically it is probably Logan's since apparently Rory was able to visit London once a week but maybe karma will be on our side lol.

[TheEleventhHour]

One more thing - I pretty much cried through most of Fall but I lost my shit when Lorelei called Emily with her memory of Richard.

I will stop now.

This gave me the most feels. I cried and cried through the entire scene.

[onesweetworld]

I want to rewatch but I'm skipping the stupid musical. Ugh.

[BabyStandish]

I just finished yesterday and am still processing.

Basically I think Rory and Logan suck as people and therefore probably deserve each other. I've always been team Jess, but now I don't think Rory deserves him. I do hope the baby daddy is the wookie. That would just be fantastic on so many levels.

I liked most the scenes with Emily and her transformation. All the scenes involving Richard made me teary eyed.

I'm a little disappointed that Lorelei hasn't really progressed in 10 years, but I'm happy with the way things turned out and loved the wedding.

I was surprised Mitchum (Logan's dad) didn't try to interfere with Logan and Rory. I kept imagining the fiancé barging in one day.

I agree with the bolded, actually. I am Team Jess because he is the best, but I think you're right that Rory doesn't deserve him. Yet. Being the other woman more than once, not learning her lesson, who's to say that she wouldn't do it again when she's bored or having a hard time?

Also, I forgot about all the Richard tributes 😭 I cried. Those were so good.

[sleepymonkey]

I still want to know who wrote the damn letter Emily brought up in therapy. It seemed like such a random thing to bring up and then just totally drop.

The Dean cameo just seemed unnecessary to me, especially since he doesn't even live in town anymore. But I can't completely begrudge an opportunity to see Sam Winchester.

The scenes with Emily were the best. I loved how they showed such an evolution with her, first as the lost grieving widow and then ultimately figuring out who she is as an independent woman. I was really sad that she wasn't at Luke and Lorelei's real wedding. Instead we got Michel and Lane (huh?).

I will always be #teamlogan (those abs!) but he is a crappy person. But then again, apparently so is Rory so they deserve each other.
