So she's pregnant. I assumed it was Logan's but my husband reminded me of the 1 night stand. Was that too far back in the year?

Also, Logan & Rory deserve each other- though I really did like him.

Also, It was cute but I'm slightly disappointed.


She is NOT pregnant by the wookie. That would just be so embarrassing.


It can't be the Wookie's -- that was in the Spring; the wedding was November 5th so she'd be upwards of 6 months pregnant by that point... would definitely be showing and she was drinking through the LDB events


Thanks for clarifying!

I read some weird review that suggested it was actually Lorelai's surrogate- remember the whole storyline with Paris?

Now I can't get that possibility out of my head, as gross as it is. But I definitely don't think that's what happened. Just figured if I have to have that mental picture everyone else should too

That said, I heard ASP was going to ignore one big part of Season 7 for this revival and I think it was the Logan proposal. After all, Logan walked away back then for good. He wasn't going to chase after Rory and now he's back (with the LDB, even) ready and waiting for her. He would've jettisoned the fiancee if Rory had asked him to.

This is the Season 7 that the Palladinos wanted but they had to fit it into the box and it didn't work in all areas (the musical, the "Wild", the stupid nanny family living with Emily) but, for the most part, they achieved what they set out to do. It just wasn't fulfilling for the fans.


I think the bolded is wrong. I have been on many message boards reading, and most people are overall satisfied. There is this tendency to play critic and nitpick things apart on certain corners of the internet (hello reddit, DCUM, and the comments section of anywhere) but for the most part, people were satisfied and the critics (who are also fans) were satisfied.



Most fans I've talked to have been disappointed.


Everyone I've read has praised it, other than DCUM. NP.

They're all real and messy and uncomfortable at times.

I have very few complaints except for the
Musical (liked it, but could have been shorter. However, adore Sutton Foster and all the other Bunheads cameos-Sasha, Ginny!) and lack of more Lane.

I was never invested in which dude Rory would end up with so that prob helped.

Also loved the Arrested Development shout outs with Paul.


Who are these people that can identify with them?
I haven't met one yet. I knew many who could identify with the original characters a single mom making her own way, doing the best she can and sometimes at odds with her parents or the teenage girl that's smart and naive and occasionally makes a poor choice.

Yhe spoiled 1% ers that are completely self-involved , too good for any kind of work and only thinking of themselves not so relatable for most adult women.


Really? I find it very relatable. Like the PP I am the same age as rory (a few years younger), went to a private school, am a wasp, and lived in connecticut for a while. The show to me is like coming home.


It sounds like you are a spoiled 1% the rest of us don't crash on friends couches, play the part of the OW and not work because the job available to us are beneath us at 32.

I you really think Rory is relatable to most American women of her age bracket you really need to broaden your horizons at your age.


I'm not ashamed of being a WASP. if someone can find The Wire or whatever else relatable, why can't young, private school educated, white girls relate to Gilmore Girls? Get off your high horse.

They said she was 32 several times and the whole premise of the revival was that it's 9 years after the finale. But I totally agree that Amy wrote her season 7 bc she had to get those "final four words" in which people have been talking about for years. But I was underwhelmed by the ffw and the whole revival.

It would have been a lot more realistic if Rory worked at Starbucks to support herself while writing like every other aspiring writer I know. Did Rory earn any money in the whole year? How was/is she able to afford a big apartment in Queen's, flights to London, a baby?

Bet that grad school and teaching job plan isn't looking that bad now.

I'm pretty sure in an earlier season her great grandmother set up a trust fund for her. Maybe that is what she is using?

You seem to think the vast majority of the world relates to that. They don't. That's not a high horse. That is reality. Broaden your horizons.

No, I don't. I was speaking for myself and the other PP relates to it too. Get. Over. It.

Oh no I'm sure if we get another season Rory will be raising the baby on her best selling novel or Grandma will be financing grandaughter and great-granddaughter. Why should Rory get an actual job?

I have nothing to get over, you have trouble accepting that the life you lead and portrayed by Rory i truly pathetic for a 32 year old woman. You are under 30 so I'll forgive you and hope by the time you hit 32 you know better.

NP here . I didn't love the storylines, but still enjoyed watching for some reason. I found Lorelai annoying as usual. I also agree with the criticism on Rory, how she used to be a unique character and now she's an average stereo typical young female. That was upsetting. I couldn't believe the whole sneaking around with Logan thing.

Also agree the musicals were very annoying. I really liked the scenes with the grandmother and thought she did a good job. I couldn't believe the comments from Laura lie about her dad at the grandfather's funeral. I understand she was grieving and has a difficult relationship with her parents, but I can't imagine actually saying that at your father's funeral. I guess I thought of it as just a little too over-the-top in general. But I still liked watching
