I’ve been watching bits online, I’m not allowing myself to watch all 7 seasons yet though as I have work to do! Is the reunion one worth watching?

I am team Jess all the way though.

#teamjess he matures and understands Rory in the way others don't and encourages her to better herself. Everyone fawns over her like she's the second coming, but she has some major flaws and does some really shitty things.

Emily's storyline in the reunion was the best as it showed growth. The others were just what that Pallendino's would have done in S7 which don't really work 10 years later as it seems that the characters have all been in suspended animation.

Graphista might disagree but with hindsight I think Mitcham was right (but I loved Emily I that scene).

Team Jess, definitely. He grows up and matures and makes something of himself and he was the only one who really got Rory and encouraged her to be her best self.

Everything Mrs Kim does is because she genuinely thinks it’s best for Lane, she really believes in her brand of Old Testament Christianity so in her eyes she’s keeping Lane safe from hell. A lot of what Lorelai does to Rory is either to live through Rory, having the teen years and education she didn’t get, to keep Rory as a clone of her or is part of her war of attrition with her parents. It’s about her not Rory.

Definitely Jess. And Like

Waitrosenkavelier · 05/02/2019 16:47

Team Jess always! Along with the Gilmore Guys.

SPOILER!

If for nothing else: “Why do you drop out of Yale?!”

MargoLovebutter · 05/02/2019 16:56

Binge watched Gilmore Girls throughout the Beast From The East last winter! Absolutely loved it, as all the characters are so flawed and fucked up.

Given all Rory's boyfriends seem to have fuck up issues, I'm not sure I'd be on any of their teams. In fairness, Dean is the most likely to have a stable life - but I'm not sure he and Rory were well-suited.

I also love that Logan went 'cheese rolling in Gloucestershire' (even if he mispronounced it as only Americans can)

ArtisanPopcorn · 05/02/2019 17:22

@whitershadeofpale yes I agree that Mitcham was right about Rory, I needs some more episodes for her to redeem herself!

WeShouldOpenABar · 05/02/2019 17:27

Team jess for sure, at a push team Logan but never ever team Dean,he was beyond controlling.

Wandaaa · 05/02/2019 17:54

Team Dean.
My favourite bit of a year in the life was Paris kicking the toilet door shut, I always wondered if the crew member who tried to open the door ended up with a broken arm.

icebearforpresident · 05/02/2019 18:20

Team Jess. He was a total dick in one particular party scene but totally got Rory and actually that party scene was pretty reflective of the times.

Logan was ok but I would have respected him more if he told his dad where to go.

Whoever said Dean was like a Labrador was spot on.

The best bit of the whole series including was reunion was Emily yelling bullshit. I literally cheered at that.

amusedbush · 05/02/2019 18:44

Oh, Mitchum was 100% right about Rory. She is awful in the reunion, really unlikable. She is spoiled and entitled and expects success to fall into her lap even though she looks down on legitimate job interviews, walks into a pitch with GQ totally unprepared and flakes on a high profile assignment. Absolute bellend.

WhoWants2Know · 05/02/2019 19:06

Team Jess, all the way.

Graphista · 05/02/2019 19:21

"Graphista Matt is amazing in the resident if you haven't already seen it, he's an insanely attractive character." I'm watching 😍😍😍

I loved him in good wife too. Love me a younger guy. He's gorgeous!

However the lack of long relationships or even much comment on his love life other than he's "private" about it suggests to me he's possibly gay.

It's no longer (thankfully) considered a "scandalous" thing so the tabloids outing him would likely backfire on them. Hence merely a lack of comment.

"Lorelai works very hard to be the opposite of Emily, but really underneath she’s the same kind of controlling type, it just comes out in different ways." Exactly.

Erm...I wouldn't class Mrs Kim as a good mother! Lorelai and Mrs Kim are both very controlling, just lorelai doesn't THINK she is!

"Graphista might disagree but with hindsight I think Mitcham was right (but I loved Emily I that scene)." Totally! How on earth is an insufferable snob like that right?!

Agree jess was the only boyfriend who ever called her on her shit!

"It’s about her not Rory." Totally agree

Have to say though I felt for Emily when she saw lorelai's little "shack" that she lived in after leaving home. Iirc (though I can't find the quote if someone else can I'd be grateful) she said something like "she must have really hated us" and she seemed really hurt that lorelai would rather raise Rory in such straitened circumstances than with her parents wealth.

"In fairness, Dean is the most likely to have a stable life - but I'm not sure he and Rory were well-suited." Given he cheated on his wife I'm not so sure. Plus I think Rory would quickly have been bored rigid with him he was nowhere near her match intellectually or culturally.

I've been watching this again recently, I'm on season 7. For the 3rd time.
I'm #teamlogan. I want to be Logan's girlfriend.

I am finding Lorelai unbearably annoying. Her inane chatter is just dreadful. Her relationship with Rory and some of their nonsense chat scenes annoy me too. But I keep watching all the same.

kashleesi · 05/02/2019 20:35

Ooo none of them! Mind you by the end of it all I didn’t even like Rory anymore Grin I think that’s why I loved the show so much, they’re all rubbish in some way or another!

PlinkPlink · 05/02/2019 20:46

I'm with the above... team none if them. Bloody awful.

Can I be Team Luke though? Totally Team Luke!

I started watching these at uni not so long ago (cough, cough, 10 years 😖😖😣) and have watched them over and over again many times. Something about them makes me still watch it 😂

TheManFromHellMonte · 05/02/2019 21:06

Ok I don’t know who this Mitchum is so I definitely need to watch all of the series now.

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 05/02/2019 21:36

I'm on season 7. For the 3rd time I've been watching it since pretty much the beginning, over ten years ago... I must have watched it (and made everyone I know watch it, because in the beginning only I seemed to!) about 30 times... and still watch it.
