I'm so glad that the Palladino's brought us back to Stars Hollow! I definitely missed them. I didn't care for the musical so much, I felt like it took away from the reunion we all so badly needed! I loved seeing everyone.
You can't leave us hanging this way! WE NEED MORE!

I am a huge Gilmore Girls fan. I wanted to like this so badly! A lot of scenes seemed so forced. From the lines, to hair and makeup, it just felt like they were trying so hard and it lacked the effortless charm that Gilmore Girls had. Rory's whole storyline didn't work for me. Her Year in the Life character and Gilmore Girls character were not the same person. THE MUSICAL.... what were they thinking?! Such a waste of time :( The farewell to Richard was beautiful though. It was heart breaking but necessary.The amount of characters they had make an appearance was great though! Hardly anyone was left out.

The intro was awkward...So much make up....it's so weird to see Lorelai and Rory with so much make up. It's so unnatural. But after the intro was done, then it became more familiar, just like the earlier series.

I binge watched Gilmore Girls and went right ahead and watched the four episodes as quickly as I could. I have a few thoughts:The main issue I had was with Rory's character. No way around it, she became a tramp. She seems to carry on a secret love affair with Logan for months on end while he is married. Suddenly Rory has been reduced to a girl willing to accept being half-loved by a man who is going to be married. Rory herself is even in a relationship of two years in which she seems to forget about and never gets around to breaking up with the poor guy. Because he isn't stunningly handsome or rich, just your average Joe, it's okay to lie and string him along? What is with this new need to glorify cheating? And even after years of school and hard work Rory finds herself back at home, 30 years old, with no sort of life plans that seem to stick? Out of character. At the risk of sounding stingy, this series was on a PC agenda. The town tries to have a gay pride parade, Paris tries to bring in a surrogate, Taylor says "..or so help me God or x or whoever you pray to," the cheating culture, Rory having a one-night stand when that is not her. Not to mention the crowds at the dinner with man buns, being obsessed over the wifi password, and their obsession over Iphones. It was so out of touch and cringey. It was a good series, it felt like meeting up with an old friend, but it really lost its charm and didn't feel right in the end. Some relationships stayed the same, other characters were warped by delusional writers.
