Everything wrong with the Gilmore girls reunion

Sookie... she should have been there A LOT MORE! Biggest issue for another sequel - they need her but she’s a big star now 😂

How do Lorelai and Rory afford all the take always and clothes?

Lane's Dad suddenly pops up... no explanations. Wtf!

How did 90% of the cast age so badly!

Why did they ruin Rory's career?

Why does Rory take after her mother when it comes to ruining relationships - the way she treat her boyfriend Paul made her character disgusting - she and Logan should have gotten together properly.

And why do two grown women have to use two children to carry their stuff around. Talk about child labour.

Why does the stars hollow gazette jobs pay nothing?

And why doesn't Rory take the teaching job, that would be perfect for her!

Lorelai and Luke should have already been married and had a baby or adopted or something. He always wanted kids!

Dean and Jess - not enough about them.
How can Jess STILL be pining for Rory?

There is going to be another sequel at some point - it's been agreed on but it's up them to decide when the time is right.
So basically they don't care about the fans.

Luke is the absolute saving grace of the show!

I got that Lorelei the first came back to life... but I missed Kirk not being kirk! Will have to rewatch (again)

What I loved

  • the Emily storyline
  • I thought that Rory's crap career was a realistic storyline. Lots of millennials can't buy property and going to a top school/uni isn't a guarantee of career success. Very realistic that she got her Conde Naste interview thanks to Logan's Dad (who you know rather than what you know)

What I hated

  • Rory's affair with Logan. She should know better after witnessing Lorelei/Sherry/Christopher and Lindsay/Dean/Herself. She turned down his proposal but wants him?
  • Naomi Shropshire
-Wild storyline

Not enough
-Lane and her family
-Mrs Kim
-Jess

How do they stay so slim after all that takeaway?
-Kirk

I'd forgotten about LG's botox 😂. Bad timing!

dingdongdigeridoo · 07/06/2018 16:19

Lauren Graham is so beautiful. She didn’t need that Botox. I hope she doesn’t go the route of having lots of surgery.

Rory is a terrible millennial stereotype! She’s very entitled and won’t do anything that’s beneath her. I wonder if ASP isn’t so keen on millennials since she wrote the awful 30s club. In real life, they’d all have shitty retail or warehouse jobs.

Forgot about Naomi. What a crap storyline.

CantankerousCamel · 07/06/2018 16:25

Which one was Naomi?

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 07/06/2018 16:37

Alex Kingstons character

Another one who wishes LG had stepped away from the Botox. It doesn't make her look younger it just makes her look like she's had Botox

CantankerousCamel · 07/06/2018 16:40

Oh yes, totally pointless

TomMarkle · 07/06/2018 17:11

The Botox and fillers is so distracting. Wish they wouldn't do it, they clearly feel they have to but I really don't think audiences would switch off if they saw a 40+ year old woman with a few lines.

Julie Bowen has ruined her lovely face too - Claire in Modern Family. In her scenes, I just find myself studying her face!

fuzzyfozzy · 07/06/2018 18:04

I did wonder what was wrong with lorelie's face.

DragonMummy1418 · 10/06/2018 12:11

The very worst decision they made about the Gilmore Girls is that Rory said no to Logan's proposal!
Full stop. End of story.

Opheliasgoldenwine · 10/06/2018 15:06

Nope, the worst decision was her not ending up with Jess.

TomMarkle · 10/06/2018 15:15

I think Logan was right for her. Things just didn’t come together at the right time. When she said goodbye to him in the inn for the last time, it felt wrong! She didn’t have anything in common with Jess really, he was exciting to her when she was 16 and she felt connected to him through Luke but they would have had a difficult marriage.

steff13 · 10/06/2018 15:25

The very worst decision they made about the Gilmore Girls is that Rory said no to Logan's proposal!

I agree. In the revival they clearly want to be together, cheating in their respective partners, why not just be together?

Wandaaa · 10/06/2018 15:35

My favourite scene in the revival was Paris kicking the door shut in the Ladies at Chilton. I feel sorry for whoever was behind the door and wonder if they broke their wrist.

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 10/06/2018 16:58

Yes Logan was perfect for Rory. Just like her entitled and superior with not much reason to be.

The fact that Rory still dates Logan in Season 5 after he publicly humiliates her friend for needing extra money by being a waiter, says it all

lifechangesforever · 10/06/2018 17:17

Emily was definitely the saving grace of the reunion shows!

Although I'm glad they ruined Rory's career, she's alway been so self entitled, nice for her to get a dose of reality.

MinniesMum1606 · 19/02/2019 11:45

I cannot believe that anyone liked this show, it was a pile of shite! I don’t know anybody that liked it, I watched it for about 2 weeks on purpose and then thought to myself, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CHEESY CRAP?! Shock

Why did everyone in the whole town put Rory on a pedestal?! What was she brainy like Einstein or something?! It was cheesy too and it had a whole load of shitty psychobabble that I didn’t get, who actually speaks like this irl? It was as shit as Dawson’s Creek.

Laurelai was totally in love with herself, Rory was the most boring teenager ever to have walked the earth, Luke was the best thing about it and too good looking to be stuck living that life with those ridiculous people as your friends and neighbours, McCarthy was well wasted on this show and that idiot guy with the black hair, wtf was he all about?! N the only reason all the men chased after Laurelai was due to the fact, there was no other decent looking woman in it!

Sorry I’ve resurrected this quite old thread but I was on Reddit and there was a GG thread about why would anyone watch this and enjoy it, and so I thought surely intelligent, witty MNs would have found it a pile of shit too so I’ll go see what they thought, Confused I was soo wrong, you’s love it! WeirdosGrin

MinniesMum1606 · 19/02/2019 11:47

Also, there was far too many references about authors and poets from Laurelai to Rory, who the fuck talks like this?!

LoisWilkerson1 · 19/02/2019 11:52

Hmm You seem a bit worked up about it. I bet there is stuff you like that gg fans wouldn't. Big deal. We don't all like the same stuff.

MinniesMum1606 · 19/02/2019 12:18

I’m not worked up at all! I just really don’t like it. MN is for posting opinions and such and I’m allowed just as much as anybody

242Mummy · 19/02/2019 12:29

Who are all these people you speak of? I see only Logan Huntzberger. Grin

MinniesMum1606 · 19/02/2019 12:30

All what people?

LoisWilkerson1 · 19/02/2019 12:53

Calling it shite and saying people who like it are weirdos is a bit ott. That's my opinion. You sound about 12 years old.

MinniesMum1606 · 19/02/2019 12:56

It’s a joke ffs hence the smiley face after weirdos! Never said anything was shite before no?! Pffft

LoisWilkerson1 · 19/02/2019 12:58

Also, I know lots of people who talk about authors and poetry. Cultured, intelligent people funnily enough. It's a show about a college kid.Confused
