Calling All 'Gilmore Girls' Fans

(If you arereading this article and haven’t seen Gilmore Girls, I advise you to immediately go binge-watch all the episodes on Netflix. Go now!)

Y’all, my middle-school self is freaking out right now, and the entertainment news nerd that lives inside me has been waiting for this news since the 2015 ATX Festival "Gilmore Girls" reunion panel this past summer.


Like many of you out there reading this, I have been an avid fan of "Gilmore Girls" since the mid-2000s. It forever gave me all the feels and taught my adolescent self about relationships, love, self-confidence and (most importantly) the importance of coffee and sarcasm. I looked forward to this show week after week. So, like many of you, I also felt personally victimized by the CW network when show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and producer Dan Palladino did not come back for the seventh and ultimately final season of the show.


So this past summer I felt such vindication when the cast and crew, including Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, were reunited at the ATX Festival. When Amy answered that she (any many of the other cast members) would be up for reviving the show if the opportunity ever presented itself, I was so happy! At this festival, the specific medium of a movie for the potential revival was brought up in discussion. I will admit a movie seemed a little too cheesy to me and I felt this type of revival would not have done the show proper justice.

I should probably also admit that I was content with the way the seventh season of "Gilmore Girls" ended (apart from the fact that Amy Sherman-Palladino wasn’t the writer who got to end the show). I admit this because I am both extremely excited and extremely scared for this revival. Why am I scared? I truly loved the original show, and to this day it remains one of my absolute favorite shows of all-time. I’m scared because this revival definitely has the potential to change my outlook on the show, but I am not scared enough that I do not want those four 90-minute episodes! I am so excited to see the cast reunited and I am most excited to see what Amy Sherman-Palladino’s vision for the ending of the show is.

Never heard of "Gilmore Girls"? Watched it back in the early 2000s, but didn't get sucked into binge-watching when it appeared on Netflix?

Here are some key episodes you need to re-visit before the revival:

  • Season 1, Episode 1 “Pilot” - AKA the episode where you learn about all the characters (plus this is actually a really great pilot).
  • Season 1, Episode 16 “Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers” – Dean is the best first boyfriend.
  • Season 2, Episode 13 “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” – Oh, Stars Hollow and its festivals.
  • Season 2, Episode 22 “I Can’t Get Started” – “Oy with the poodles already!”
  • Season 3, Episode 7 “They Shoot Gilmores, Don’t They?” – Two words: dance marathon.
  • Season 3, Episode 22 “Those Are Strings, Pinocchio!” – SO. MANY. FEELS.
  • Season 4, Episode 2 “The Lorelais’ First Day at Yale”- College Rory.
  • Season 4, Episode 22 “Raincoats and Recipes” – L&L.
  • Season 5, Episode 3 “Written in the Stars” – Quite possibly the best episode in the series.
  • Season 5, Episode 13 “Wedding Bell Blues” – The 100th episode!
  • Season 6, Episode 9 “The Prodigal Daughter Returns” – Relationship craziness.
  • Season 6, Episode 19 “I Get a Sidekick Out of You” – Hep Alien.
  • Season 7, Episode 22 “Bon Voyage” – All the feels again.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
