Gilmore Girls question (with spoilers)

[Anonymous]

So, I've finally finished all seven seasons on Netflix and can't wait for the "Year in the Life" episodes to come out in Nov. Does anyone know if these encompass a present day (2016) year, or does it pick up right where the last episode left off? In other words, will they be showing us what everyone's been up to since that last episode (the going away party for Rory, etc.)?

I think it's obvious Luke and Lorelai will be together - finally. That whole detour with Christopher was ridiculous. I absolutely adore Luke. Yes, I realize he's a fictional character, but he's so good to Lorelai and Rory. I wonder if L&L had kids. I felt so bad for Luke when he was holding Doula ( ) and looking at her with the realization of how much he's missed by not knowing April when she was little.

As for Rory, I wonder if she and Logan wound up together. Somehow, I think they probably did, but I think Rory's always had a space reserved in her heart for Jess. We shall see...

It'll be so sad not to see Richard anymore. I really loved that character and his relationship with Lorelai and Rory. I wonder if Emily will have remarried.

I'm not sure. If they do have it set to 2016, Rory will be 32 (she was born in 1984).

I always hated Jess. He wasn't hot enough to play the role of Bad Boy.

Ohh he totally was. And he got even hotter now

In a perfect Gilmore girls world, the Yale years would've been more interesting and she wouldn't have ended up with Logan for so long. They would've brought Jess back more because he had matured and was beginning to find himself. They would've dated and he would've been redeemed

The promo has Rory and Lorelai talking about Any Schumer & John Oliver, so I assume it takes place "now." The actors have aged too much (naturally) to pick right back up.

I'll also miss Richard a lot.

Totally agree about Jess! I wished that he would have come back more when older. Remember when he reappeared when Rory was at Yale, though, after he had written his book? Loved GG!

Here are my predictions:

--Lorelai & Luke are and will stay together despite appearances by Lorelai's ex's Christopher and Jason, which will hopefully just about how they've moved on with their lives.
--Rory will have some contrived job that lets her live in Stars Hollow.
--There will be brief catch ups on the lives of Paris, Dean, Sookie. Lane, now divorced or Zach is on the road, will be more of a storyline.
--My guess is that Rory starts off with Logan in the beginning and Jess shows up and she ends up with him.
--Logan licks his woulds with the Yale college friends.

These are made from the number of appearances the cast makes in IMDB.

--Hopefully Lorelai will actually be nice to Emily.

I've been rewatching GG with my kids (11 and 13) and the love it too. We're in the Jess phase in season 3 and I hate him so much! He was just awful to everyone. You shouldn't be with a jerk just because you like the same books.

Yeah, Jess was snotty and snide, and was manipulative in getting he and Rory together. The actor is definitely cute and the character was smart, so I could see a naive girl falling for him.

I liked the Jess character because he was a "bookish" bad boy, different from the captain of the football team type character or a Dean or a Logan. He was a total Jack Kerouac, young Bob Dylan, Holden Caulfield type of guy! Rory had a wide variety in her love interests! All American nice-guy Dean, bookish bad boy Jess, and rich kid Logan...

And remember what a dick Logan was to Jess when Jess showed up to visit Rory? I've never liked Logan, even towards the end when he seemed to have grown up and asked Rory to marry him. I liked seeing Jess in Philadelphia at his writers co-op (or whatever that was). He seemed to have really matured and come into his own. Maybe he and Rory will have found one another at last!

I also have been watching with my 12 yr. old daughter - we love GG! It's been a real bonding experience, watching it together. We watched the final episode a couple of days ago and both of us wound up crying.

I agree, Jess was awful to everyone at that stage, but I also felt so sorry for him. He had a big chip on his shoulder from his dad leaving him, and just never seemed to fit in anywhere. It annoyed me how rude he always was to adults. He does get better though! I think once he finds Rory, he realizes what a great girl she is and he wants to be a better person for her.

I thought Logan was pretty boring after they got together.
