[@sofiaalexi7436]

The ending of the revival made sense to me and was not as shocking or controversial as some claim, I think. Through Rory's unplanned pregnancy it's implied that after all the bumps on the road, she goes on to write the Gilmore Girls script while raising her child. It's a nice intertextual touch, and actually a different but a more meaningful triumph for the character than a straightforward media career. The fact that she doesn't immediately become a successful journalist is part of the story's charm. Neither is it surprising that Rory is faced with yet another challenge that she needs to overcome; the whole show is filled with the contradictions of "the good girl" ending up in various predicaments and wouldn't it be boring otherwise? Gilmore Girls yet again reminded us that with a little help from her friends, powerhouse mum, coffee (and rich grandparent/s) Rory will get through the tough times and her life will be more meaningful for it.

[@AM-kb4he]

This is a totally different perspective than I had, and I really appreciate it!

[@smurfyday]

It was fine if it was the seventh season. To force it to be a decade later made all the characters pathetic and ensures there won't be a second sequel. It was Amy's ego trip.

[@wandertree]

I love your perspective!! I also love the "real" feel of the show where lives don't turn out as expected and life surprises with many twists and turns. And sometimes the promise and bloom of youth wear off to reveal that we're all really just ordinary folks - special and valuable, but ordinary. I LOVE the idea that Rory is the writer behind "Gilmore Girls" - the book turned tv show. Awesome thought. :)

[@biggyziggy5777]

I never thought it was an unplanned pregnancy … l believe Rory knew exactly what she wanted 😊

I can't tell you how many times I've watched Gilmore girls. Especially in the times we are all living in has provided so much entertainment for me. Thank you to Amy Sherman Palladino, cast and crew. You made us all want to find Stars Hollow. Pull up a chair at Luke's diner. Attend a town hall meeting and a stay at The Dragonfly inn. So thank you.

[@mtngirl6308]

Same here. It’s like going home, and so comforting.

[@lndsyvghnbubert]

I love GG so much. Sounds dumb, maybe, but watching it feels like going home. Might be because I've watched the series an obscene amount of times, lol. While I would have loved for them to have kept the show going on and on and on, I wouldn't want anything beyond the follow-up four episodes they did. I was so excited to watch those episodes and am grateful for them, and I think I'm glad they did them. But the series, as they left it, was perfection and probably should've been left alone. I wouldn't want to see them try to have another go at the series because it just wouldn't be the same. I was surprised by how emotional I was watching it - and not just happy. Anyway, my two cents.

[@sarahwhittaker7033]

ik exactly what you mean about going home! That's exactly how I feel but nobody ever understood what I meant!

[@lndsyvghnbubert]

Sarah Rants, surely we aren't the only two who feel like that! It's just so comforting watching it. 💜

So thrilled to see many people feel the same way. I watch the series an obscene amount of time as well. I use it to take my mind off of the stressors of life as I settle down at night to sleep. It takes you away to a different reality and is calming. Thank you GG.

[@ScottandAshleyPullen]

I have to admit, I was very frustrated with the re-boot. I didn't like what was done with the characters because it did seem "out of character" for them. But, hearing Lauren Graham talk about it and the reasoning and vision for it all.. it all makes sense. I get it. So good.

[@wandertree]

It made total sense to me! Real life isn't predictable, and people often develop in surprising ways. :)

[@TheKatelinn]

I loved the revival, but I wished for a lot more Lorelai, Rory, Jess, Dean , Emily and Luke..and Lane and Zack as well, and a lot less theatre production which I think took up way to much of the minutes they had available. I love Lauren Graham, my favourite actress ever!

[@ScottandAshleyPullen]

[@meganbheppner]

@@wandertree I agree it could’ve used more lane scenes, as for Madeline and Louise, they weren’t even in the last like four seasons so they didn’t really need to come back, and for Logan he was a huge part of rorys life at the end of the show so he definitely deserved the amount of screen time he had in the revival if not even more, I would’ve liked them (Rory and Logan) to have even more of a storyline then they did

[@AvecPoesie]

It was confounding. Why place an intentionally BAD musical in a span of FIFTEEN minutes in the revival? The "Unbreakable" moment was beautiful; but, the other musical bits should have been edited down to ONE minute.

It was such a brilliant ending imo, that showed that like with Emily and Richard, you can hope for so much for the daughter you've raised (or grew up alongside for the audience), but life is chaotic and often doesn't go how we like, but a lot of life and joy can come from that unpredictability. There's no question in my mind Rory will go on to do great things while raising a child just like Lorelai did. I thought it was a perfect end to the series.

The character development was lacking in this. They should have cut out the musical part. Maybe kept it only in the summer. Not multiple seasons. Sutton did amazing but it seemed like filler and there was plenty of material to explore... Logan's wedding... Jess's never ending flame. More with Chris. Rory's pregnancy. Luke and her as whole that we didn't get in season 7. A lot! I get the weren't there for season 7 but they should've build off some of it. More of it. If Amy never did bunheads I don't think there would have that much emphasis on it. It didn't fit in my opinion. I hope we get more. I've heard rumors.
