Anyone want to chat about Gilmore girls! (Spoilers)

40 replies

peanutbutterontoast7 · 12/10/2022 11:19

So I'm a little bit late to the party with Gilmore girls, I'm just about finishing up the entire series. I know how it ends, I know who ends up with who. I am one of those weird people who needs to know the ending before I can commit to this series!!
As the series is quite old, I don't really have anyone to talk to about it with so I was just wondering if anyone wanted to chat about it?
Overall I really enjoyed it. I struggled with the first couple seasons, but once Rory ended up at Yale and binned her boyfriend Dean I felt it got a lot more interesting and easier to watch!
Absolutely devastated though to hear that Rory and Logan end up breaking up. I think they suit each other so well as a couple and I just feel really sad that they don't make it work. Equally I feel like I'm much preferred Laura lie and Christopher then Lauralie and Luke. Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against Luke, I just felt a lot happier when her and Christopher were together and I didn't really like the way that their relationship went when they were married. I don't know, I feel like all of that was very much rushed in the last season.

Hello! I just came on here to see if anyone else had recently watched this and there was your thread! It was my DD's lockdown obsession and I am just starting season 7...feeling like I might need some support when I get to the end!
My opinion of Lorelai seems pretty static, I like her, she's quirky and says things I wish I were brave enough to tell people! Rory irritates me though and her and Logan deserve each other!
I won't go on too much as not sure if you will come back to this thread OP!

Did anybody watch it when younger and then watch it again? I found lorelei and Rory both so selfish second time watching it in my 40s.

AppleKatie · 12/11/2022 21:42

It’s my guilty pleasure at the moment but both lorelei and Rory are dreadful people as are the parents/grandparents and pretty much all the side characters too!

whiteroseredrose · 12/11/2022 21:56

DD and I watched this together during lockdown.

We couldn't stand Logan but we didn't like how Rory turned out so really, I agree, they deserved eachother.

But definitely Luke rather than Christopher for Lorelei. Christopher constantly let her down.

Danikm151 · 12/11/2022 22:03

Did anyone watch a year in the life?

Zooeyzo · 12/11/2022 22:07

@Danikm151 yes with the cliffhanger ending. I didn't find them any less annoying and feel sorry for Luke! Poor man.

Crazykefir · 12/11/2022 22:10

The remake was totally pointless, watched it all though.

Yes!!! I really liked it when I first watched it but Lorelai irritated me more and more throughout the series when I rewatched it.

boringbrain · 12/11/2022 22:18

I'm watching this for the first time and Lorelai really annoys but Rory, omg she is now growing up to be the not so sweet person but instead some selfish and entitled knob head. I'm at the episode where she breaks Dean's marriage. I like Lane and Kirk though.

dreamcatchmee · 12/11/2022 22:18

Absolutely love this show.
Didn't like Lorelai and Christopher together though personally.

Always up for chatting all things GG!

Zooeyzo · 13/11/2022 17:06

I think Christopher was too good for lorelei. She was just so selfish.

Myleakycauldron · 13/11/2022 17:25

Both are so irritating but I enjoy it nonetheless 😂

Zooeyzo · 13/11/2022 21:02

I have to say I liked Emily a lot more the second time I watched it. I found myself admiring her snazzy little jackets too 😀

BlueHotel · 14/11/2022 13:15

I was surprised how much I liked it - but it was in lockdown. This thread has made me want to watch it again, but I'll resist.

dreamcatchmee · 26/11/2022 08:19

When Luke turns up at Lorelai's house to elope. It breaks my heart so much 💔

BlueHotel · 26/11/2022 11:36

You might liked Better Things on iplayer. A much more realistic mother/daughter scenario and funny too. Apparently it's semi-autobiographical.

Zooeyzo · 30/11/2022 09:13

@BlueHotel yes better things was fantastic. Very different from GG

Zooeyzo · 30/11/2022 09:15

@dreamcatchmee that made me cry too.

dreamcatchmee · 30/11/2022 09:16

@Zooeyzo i really struggle to watch the Lorelai and Chris episodes, it just isn't the same 💔

Although on a different note. I always feel like April gets a lot of hate, but I quite like the April storyline. Really makes us see a different side of Luke.

I love Emily and she was definitely the best character in the year in the life episodes! I think she is misunderstood really. I think the relationships between the women in GG is the most interesting part of the story.

I'm rewatching now and am at the end of season 4. Love it so much it is my comfort watch.

I love Luke but the thing that bugs me about his relationship with Lorelai is the lack of any chemistry between them. Maybe the actors don't get on but Lauren Graham looks like she wants to shove him away whenever they kiss! I liked her best with Max but the worst relationship was Jason - he was so annoying.

crownandfillers · 30/11/2022 13:36

Ohh I loved Jason and they were so similar personality wise. Both had a thing against their parents although he was awkward but still he was amusing. I think I loved him more than Chris, Max and Luke, they were too dull in my opinion.

IneedcoffeeinanIV · 30/11/2022 13:41

I LOVE Gilmore Girls. A friend pointed out how annoying Lorelai is though so now it's all I notice when I watch it

whereistheelf · 30/11/2022 13:48

I LOVE Gilmore girls!! I watched it when it was on tv years ago, I've re watched so
Many times I know most of the dialogue 😂😂 really wanted Rory to marry Logan!

Zooeyzo · 01/12/2022 20:59

@crownandfillers oh Jason!! They actually suited each other very well. I thought they would end the show together.
