1. The very first scene gives us that witty mother-daughter banter we love.

Unless you binged before the new season came out, there's no doubting that you missed the skits and movie references the mother-daughter duo plays out so effortlessly.

2. Luke has wifi.

Though Stars Hollow appears almost exactly the same, some changes have been made to make it more 21st century friendly. (Whether or not Luke approves)

3. We get to see Lane's dad!!!

Finally!

4. Kirk's baby.

Petal is the newest addition to Kirk and Lulu's family and she's quite a handful.

5. All of our favorite actors/actresses are back and haven't changed a bit.

Star Hollow's favorites are just how we remember them. They've even added a more diverse population and addressed some current events!

6. We pick up a couple of years later, but information we missed is seamlessly given throughout the first 2 episodes.

Rory has been moving around for quite awhile. We learn who she's kept in touch with, how she's been dealing with work life, and where she's headed.

7. Late night takeout, early morning coffee

Chinese food, Pop-Tarts, ice cream, COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE

8. After the Dragonfly went through many famous chefs such as Roy Choy and Rachel Ray, we finally get our Sooki back!

How could we not have our disaster-prone, big-hearted, best friend of Lorelai???

9. Our 3 favorite heartthrobs are back!! Dean, Jess, and Logan are popping up in Rory's life once again.

Rory has had great taste in guys over the years. They're back, but will they stay?

10. Jess advises Luke on love?

Roles reverse when Jess sits Luke down for a man-to-man talk.

11. Unexpected mother/daughter bonding...

Love, Laughter.....Therapy?

12. Paris' pixie cut.

She may have rocked the forehead bangs for years, but let's be honest and say that Paris looks fantastic and her drive for success definitely worked out in her favor.

13. Love, love, love

Wedding bells are ringing, love is in the air!
