It's Time We Talk About The Gilmore Girls

As I tend to do once or twice a year, I have started rewatching Gilmore Girls recently and quickly came to the realization that I have never blogged about one of my favorite shows. That's almost a sin. I have lots of opinions on Amy Sherman Palladino's greatest creation, and so I've decided to share them with you. It's going to take some time, so buckle up.

It's not infrequent that a tweet or two about Gilmore Girls come across my timeline, and today I stumbled across a tweet by Ant Simpson that said "Imagine the Gilmore Girls discussing which wire to cut on a bomb" and it made me think about all of the things I wish I could see Lorelai and (original series) Rory discuss (revival Rory is a whole other topic for another time.

So, in the first of many Stars Hallow themed blogs, here are 7 things I wish I could have seen the Gilmore Girls discuss:

1. A TV show like This is Us

Would they mock it? Would they love it? Would they mock it AND love it? I love to imagine the dialogue when Lorelai realizes there are different time lines and her being angry about it and then Rory having to talk her down--explaining that the concept isn't all the difficult once you get used to it.

Plus, I mean, I need to see Rory falling in love with adult Milo. (If we're being honest here the ability to use a Milo GIF is definitely part of the reason this made the list.)

2. One Direction Solo Careers

Lorelai and Rory go see Dunkirk. Lorelai hates it; Rory appreciates the cinematography. Lorelai notes that the only good thing about it was that handsome Harry fella. They launch into a discussion about One Direction and what they're all doing now.

They talk about buying tickets to see Niall in concert. Kirk pops up out of nowhere with tickets and a story about how he helped build the stage Louis performed on during the X-Factor premiere of Just Hold On. Luke asks something about one of the Backstreet Boys, unable to differentiate boy bands.

3. The H E L L that is cover letters

Lorelai reading them for potential Dragonfly Inn employees. 

Rory (the failed journalist that she is in the revival) writing them every other episode. Lorelai making fun of the people who are trying to market themselves while remaining professional and also interesting.

Rory realizing it's impossible to market yourself while remaining professional and also interesting.

4. The "If you don't love me at my, then you don't deserve me at my" meme in context of their failed relationships

@MaxMedina

if you                                                                                    then

didnt                                                                                     you dont

love me                                                                                deserve me

at my                                                                                    at my

5. Carrie Fisher's death

Now, don't get me wrong. I like to think about the fact that General Organa is gone as little as I can, but I think they would have many a good thing to say and I think it would make me cry both happy and sad tears.

6. The Donald Trump presidency

Gilmore Girls has hated trump since season two:

They also have fond things to say about Hillary throughout the entire show. I want to see a montage of them throughout the 2016 election, during the inauguration, and throughout the presidency.

7. Amazon's Alexa

Picture this: Rory and Lorelai give Emily an Echo for Christmas and then she calls Lorelai because they failed to explain the concept of it to her. They have to make a trip to convince her Alexa isn't her maid. Enough said.

All in all, I'm glad the revival was done. I liked (most of) it. And while I don't know if I would necessarily want any more revival episodes even if the cast and ASP agreed to it, I would love to see these conversations play out.

The Gilmore Girls know how to talk like none other.
