I spent a considerable amount of time re-watching every episode of Gilmore Girls before watching A Year in the Life, and I finished the entire series with more questions than answers - some more serious than others, but all in the hopes of a continuation of the show.

1. Did Taylor Doose ever press charges against Rory for stealing the cornstarch?

It is well-known that Rory accidentally stole the cornstarch, but she never returned it either. And, Taylor isn't exactly the world's most forgiving human being.

2. Was Rory successful on Obama’s 2008 campaign trail?

We all know how the campaigned turned out for Barack Obama, but even the new series doesn't give any insight to Rory's after-Yale adventure.

3. How many maids did Emily have?

Emily Gilmore is a very particular woman and was sued by one of her maids for wrongful termination. If we're honest that could've easily become a class action lawsuit, but there is no definite number of how many maids she employed.

4. Where did all of the anvils go?

Lorelai frequently changed the topic of conversation on Friday night dinner, but this one still has me wondering.

5. What happened to Alex, that coffee guru that Lorelai dated?

They went on a few dates, then he fell off the face of the Earth when Lorelai's interests changed.

6. Does Al’s Pancake World ever serve pancakes?

We know that the only reason the restaurant name didn't change was the large amount of pre-ordered napkins, but he still could've made pancakes every now and then.

7. Also, who is Al and what does he even look like?

Of all of the townspeople and all of the town meetings, we never actually meet Al. We just know that his cuisine is very hit-or-miss.

8. How many jobs did Kirk have?

He worked as the mailman, the video store clerk, sold wrapping paper, etc.

9. "Mom?" "Yeah?" "-------"

The last four words of the new series brought us so many questions, but in the interest of avoiding spoilers I'll just say that I re-watched those last thirty seconds four times in disbelief.
