The revival seriesGilmore Girls: A Year in the Lifeis exclusively on Netflix.
(Including, perhaps, oneMs.
Taylor Alison Swift?)
Its just one of many reasons thatGilmore Girlsremains so special.
After all, to quote Lorelai and Rory,Gilmore Girlsisnt just a show its a lifestyle.
In Rorys Dance, the youngest Gilmore girl takes new boyfriend Dean to the Chilton dance (wholesome!)
but they accidentally fall asleep together and come home at 5 a.m. (not so wholesome).
Christopher Returns (Season 1, Episode 15)
Ugh.
And then he returns to California to never be seen again!
Ah, if only.
They Shoot Gilmores, Dont They?
(Season 3, Episode 7)
Ah, the infamous Dance Marathon.
Its an emotional hour (that speech!)
Also, Paris returns, as Rorys roommate!
(With a life coach, because its Paris.)
Sure just see the next one on our list.
Also in this hour: Emily harangues Luke and Lane and Zach start dating.
In the season-five finale, Rory steals a boat (!
), quits Yale (!!
), and starts a massive rift with Lorelai (!!!
), who deals with her grief by … proposing to Luke (!!!!).
Its tough to watch, especially for those who know the feud wont be resolved for many more episodes.
But hey, at least Rory and Lorelai are finally back together.
Epically loud, painfully real, and perfectly edited, the scene encapsulates everything that makesGilmoregreat.
But the finale does a decent enough job wrapping things up.
