Amy and Dan basically kept the same script they were going to use years ago, with some minor tweaks. It doesn’t make since in today’s world, at this point in their lives Lorelai should have already been married and they both wanted kids but it seems like they’re just in limbo her/neither of those things determine a healthy or happy relationship but it was something they had both wanted and talked about before life got in the way and they mishandled things. Logan had made a lot of process , wanting to try and step out on his own without his father’s influence. But all of that got retracted/even the jokes seem dated.

2022-10-01 02:21:07 +0000 UTCYeah not great. I think the Palladinos wanted to show how aimless and unfocused Rory’s generation is. Or at least that’s how the Palladinos see them/us. Definitely some truth to it but it wasn’t executed well at all. Or maybe it hits too close to home and feels to realistic when we want a little bit of escapism from our Gilmore Girls and that’s why it’s not funny. I haven’t decided yet. The lines bit was kinda funny because it’s pretty true especially in big cities. Also the Palladinos clearly had free reign in these movies which was a mistake. They definitely are at their best when they have restrictions and commercial breaks because it forces them to EDIT.

2022-09-30 03:24:37 +0000 UTCThe best part of this whole revival has to be the second film by Kirk 🤣🤣

2022-09-28 16:23:18 +0000 UTCAs usual, Kirk's short film stole the whole episode.

2022-09-28 16:22:53 +0000 UTCyes the fall episode is definitely the best one. I still try to blend out the revival and remember only the “real” gilmore girls :)

2022-09-28 14:44:32 +0000 UTCFor sure! For years people were arguing over which #Team they were on. Before the reboot people were being all cute and saying, no I’m team Rory, all the guys are trash. It should actually have been team NOT Rory because she’s the worst. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2022-09-28 11:58:18 +0000 UTCFor most fans the revival was a big disappointment bc as you said we waited over a decade for this and then they went and turned it into this uninspired nothing. All character growth ignored, no real direction of story and the episodes are so long and none of the humorous stuff hits either. The charm of gilmore girls is just not there.

2022-09-28 11:52:07 +0000 UTCI know! This is so infuriating for soooo many reasons. The resolve to stick to her version of the story is crazy. Part of me feels like this is a spite reboot. I just don't know what to think. Initially I thought it's like she lost her magic or something and she had nothing left to give. But Mrs. Maisel is actually good, so it just makes me think that this is bad on purpose.
Sofie
2022-09-28 11:49:40 +0000 UTCMy thoughts exactly. Logan wanted to marry her for crying out loud and she rejected him for her career. So he is definitely not going to be the one to make the first step here. And Rory is waaaay too entitled in this revival to even notice he might want more. Rory was never my fave either but this revival makes her look so insanely unlikeable. So many people use her as an example for "entitled millenial" and I can't even blame them. Rory makes all smart book-worms look like brats.

2022-09-28 11:47:32 +0000 UTCI agree, that episode is just woof. And the references which before were cute/fun are now just so topical and dated. Crazy fever dream aside the Fall episode is my favourite.
Sofie
2022-09-28 11:45:15 +0000 UTCThis is just my own thoughts because nothing indicates otherwise, but I think if Rory weren't the brat the are portraying her to be she could be with Logan. I think they both want to be together but Logan is never going to put himself out there again with Rory, so he takes what he can get, and (this version of) Rory is never going to humble herself to say she wants more. It more enticing for her to be a "worldly person" living it up, it makes no sense. Rory by no means was my favourite character in the show but the way they just trashed her character is depressing.
Sofie
2022-09-28 11:42:32 +0000 UTCok so here's my thing: it could've been a great story to have the "always gets what she wants"-Rory not thrive professionally as she expected, but they made her look like a straight-up brat. First, she yells at the book lady from London (granted, she deserved that and this book idea was going nowhere), then she finally got the interview and chance she wanted and she fell asleep during an interview and gives up after one day bc she hadn't found anything interesting yet and then to top it all off she goes to a job interview she thought was below her and came entirely unprepared and then was mad she didn't get the job even though that CEO was right not to hire someone without any ideas or preparation, even if they tried to get her for a year. they ruined Rory as a character here. she sleeps around with three different guys - which would be fine if she were open and honest, but she keeps forgetting Paul is even her boyfriend, she is okay with just being her ex-fiancés side piece in London (when she clearly wants more) and she just slept with some random dude who boosted her ego. this is really out of character.
thisismaria27
2022-09-28 10:57:41 +0000 UTCEXACTLY!! This entire revival makes Rory's and also Logan's progress as individuals completely null and void. and while the original gilmore girls had many moments where Rory was arrogant, elitist and entitled, she always grew and learned from that, so seeing her like this makes her extremely unlikeable.

2022-09-28 08:27:34 +0000 UTCbahahaha so true! ;) I think the summer episode was the worst - at least for me.

2022-09-28 08:24:36 +0000 UTC"...I don't hate it, I'm just very confused...", - Steven Give it time, Steven, you're only halfway there. The worst is yet to come.

2022-09-28 06:01:35 +0000 UTCMae Whitman (from The Duff) is in this as a cameo because she is Lauren Graham's daughter in Parenthood. There are a few cameos like this in here. The actor who plays her brother on Parenthood (and was her boyfriend for many years in real life), Peter Krause, appears in another episode of AYITL, as well as Jason Ritter, also from Parenthood. There are also several cameos from Amy Sherman Palladino's other show Bunheads, which starred Kelly Bishop (Emily). Despite the cameos and great Liza Weil moments (I adore Paris), nothing about this "series" is particularly enjoyable. We were ecstatic about this show. And this is what was given to us. What were Amy and Dan thinking when they treated us and their own characters like this?! I'm still furious about it. It didn't help that, aside from Buffy, Gilmore Girls is my favorite show, so it was especially painful. It's my go-to show. And I have to forget about this "part" when I re-watch it or else I get irritated again.

2022-09-28 05:52:35 +0000 UTCI hate everything about this year in whatever.. nothing is funny or smart. The characters feel ridiculous and out of touch with the entire show. It feels more like an SNL parody on GG than actual GG. Like the creator really didn't want to do it but someone made her and she decided to get high and just write whatever.

2022-09-28 04:47:49 +0000 UTCThe girl you recognized from the duff was Lorelei's daughter in the show parenthood!

2022-09-28 04:44:30 +0000 UTCYeah, this is basically Rory at rock bottom. The fact that she cheated on Dean with Jess, and then cheated with Dean after he got married, and is now cheating on her boyfriend with Logan is crazy. She really hasn't grown at all and is a terrible girlfriend. I don't know why ASP thought the Paul storyline was so funny - Rory just has 0 empathy for him and is so self-centered. Also, falling asleep in the middle of an interview is not a sign of a good journalist. Maybe Mitchum was right when he said she doesn't have it. You can tell a lot of episodes is them trying to fill time (and I think the next episode is the worst case of that). Despite that, I will say that the next episode is my favorite of the four.

2022-09-28 03:42:59 +0000 UTCIt's sad that ASP ignored s7 AND the decade it's been since. She was the OG writer and could've done so much with it if she'd bothered to try. She had a specific journey and ending for the characters for season 7 and this was apparently it (minus Richard's passing ofc) and it sucks that she kept these characters in stasis with no development in a decade

2022-09-28 03:38:04 +0000 UTCYeah it is clear the writer/creator didn't take into account any character growth in season 7 and just decided to ruin so many characters. I always think of this series as fanfiction of the original characters and don't count it as real. I hate what they did to so many characters, but especially Rory and Logan. They ended maturely and in a way that made sense so this storyline is gross and unlike them.
