It's been almost 10 years since "Bon Voyage," the final episode of "Gilmore Girls," aired. I remember how devastated I was watching the last scene knowing that there would be no more episodes of one of my favorite shows. Now, to my very pleasant surprise, Netflix is creating new episodes of "Gilmore Girls" (Netflix, this is amazing but still doesn't excuse your removal of "Doctor Who"). To celebrate the impending revival, here are 18 things I'm looking forward to seeing in the new episodes (if I were to put them all we'd be here a while).
1. Paris Gellar
I'm very curious to see where Paris is now. Is she a doctor, a lawyer or something else?
2. Michelle
Oh, Michelle.
3. Rory and her love of books
Rory and I are twins when it comes to loving books.
4. COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE
Do I even need to explain?
5. Friday Night Dinner
I always loved the Friday Night Dinner scenes, though they'll never be the same as they were before (RIP Edward Herrmann).
6. Lorelai's 'advice'
You have to love Lorelai. Most of Lorelai's motherly advice was pretty sound, like when Rory had her first breakup:
7. Luke Danes
Luke was one of my favorite characters (along with Lorelai, Rory and Jess), so I look forward to seeing him in the revival. And no episode of "Gilmore Girls" would be complete without......
8. A Luke Danes rant
Whether it's "Star Wars," Taylor's latest shenanigans or Manhattan, Luke has a rant for anything and I hope there will be at least one in the revival episodes.
9. JESS!!!!!!!!
I love Jess and I can't wait to see him in these upcoming episodes.
10. Logan
Like with Paris, I'm very curious to see where Logan is in his life. Will he and Rory get back together or did he find someone new? Honestly, I'm hoping for the latter because I'm also looking forward to......
11. Literati <3
Rory and Jess (aka Literati) are in my top two favorite couples. I really hope they get back together in the revival-that would be straight up AWESOME!
12. Emily Gilmore
13. The girls' love of food
14. Java Junkie
Omg, YES! Luke and Lorelai are my other favorite couple and I'm so excited to see where they are now.
15. The girls' fangirl lifestyle
What new pop-culture references will the girls use this time around? What new movies and shows will they watch?
16. Lorelai Gilmore
Lorelai is my absolute favorite character and I can't wait to see what she's up to.
17. How relatable the girls are
18. The mother-daughter relationship between Lorelai and Rory
Lorelai and Rory are the heart of the show. I've always admired their relationship and hope to (one day in the far FAR future) have a similar relationship with my own children. I would love to see how Rory and Lorelai's relationship has developed in this near-decade.
I hope everyone enjoys the "Gilmore Girls" revival. Copperboom!
