Very enjoyable
curtish28095 December 2020
I bawl my eyes out at the end of this episode, especially when Emily is at the Nantucket house & gives a kiss to Richard's picture. Every. Time. It would love a GG movie to wrap up all loose ends with Rory and maybe more Lane, but in all, this was very enjoyable & I enjoy watching it

I'm still processing this last episode it left me wanting more, thinking more and also ending perfectly with all my favourites SO many returning characters brought back I was shrieking so much. I can't believe I've never watched this show until now because from s1-7 to year in the life I've loved every minute and I cannot wait t start all over again

Pretty awful - this isn't Gilmore girls!
littleminx-110438 January 2024
Rory just turned out awful and this is highlighted by the return of the painful life and death brigade. She "perks up" out of her funk by hanging out with a bunch of morally questionable men. Breaking and entering, driving drunk, and throwing cash around like spoilt rich kids in an overly long unrealistic scene. Just stupid.

Lorelais whole "wild" adventure didn't even feel like Gilmore girls. It felt like Lauren Graham in a completely different show. Though if I lived with cranky pants emotionally stunted Luke I'd want to run away too.

I feel like the revival tried wayyyy to hard to tick all the boxes (including the politically correct ones) and it came at the cost of the genuine feeling of the original show.

Silly, out of character, ridiculous.
MidoriAi4 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Lorelai decided to "go wild". She was reading the book, so there was a hint.

She's confused in her life, everything is changing, so against all odds, goes to the Appalachian trail.

Rory is going to the same face, it would have been great filming material if both went on that adventure.. but they are angry at each other because Rory in "Summer" started writing a book about their life as mother and daughter.

Logan came and goft Rory an unnecessary musical that I promptly fast forward. 5 minutes of that sh!t. Weird tango included. Way to rip apart Argentinian culture at the hands of annoying, insufferable and snob british characters.

Fast forward when they are in front of the camera.

Of course Logan convinced Rory to sleep one more time with her, ignoring the fact that she wants more and she ignored the fact that when they first stayed together the "no strings attached" situation between them NEVER WORKED, why would in this one? But writers want Rory as a geek book worm that knows nothing about relationships, just like her mother, but in Rory's case, she's worse!

Watching Lorelai's bits fighting with the backpack was not funny, was stup!d, like comedy meant for children. Something would have come out great from this ark, but zero. No insight while talking with other hikers at night, no hiking at all.

Emily allowing Bertha and her family to run around her house is extremely weird. Maybe writers want to point out that she's alone and with them, even tho they talk in a weird spanish-english combo, she doesn't feel alone, well, that doesn't cut it. It is weird and ridiculous.

Rory goes to her grandparents to write while Emily is in Nantucket.

It was a moment of flashback and remembrance that was heartwarming and sad at the same time. She open the door to Richard's office and we could see a glimpse of him, she sat down on his chair and began to write.

Lorelai came back and proposed marriage to Luke (again), while he thought she was going to leave him. He had a ring stored close so he gave it to her.

Is marriage something that you need to go trough? Apparently this tv show hints on this over and over again.

Rory came at night while Lorelai was asleep, the dog wake her up, and Rory told her to go down. They make peace in the kitchen while eating and drinking.

Then, Rory presented to Lorelai the first 3 chapters of the book she was written all this time. The title? "The Gilmore Girls", almost like that book was the basis for the tv show... inception.

Emily burst out of character in a DAR interview with a trophy wife in front of the stuck of snob DAR women. They were appalled trying to silence her while trying not to loose the composture. What's going on one ask her. Yeah writers, what's going on? Suddenly after 50 years of doing that, of being her life, because her husband died she realized it is a worthless an meaningless way to live? Or as she said "artifice and bullsh!t interviews.

So she was expelled from the DAR for that behavior. "This thing was dead to me when Richard died anyway"

I like that Dean showed up and we could have a glimpse into what happened to him since he stopped showing in 2005 to be a lead actor at Supernatural.

The bit with Suki.. well, they tried to revive the first appearance of her, but it was bad the first time, and bad this time. Bad acting included. The part were Lorelai enters the kitchen and knows exactly she's there was ridiculous... why wouldn't she tell everybody and after 2 years of absence?

And what about all those cakes? Have a point in been there? They stopped serving meals at the the Inn?? Why wouldn't she ask Lorelai and Luke what they want instead of making all that, in the magic way, you know 2 or 3 hours without anyone noticing it, while in real life you can spend a lot of hours if not days doing all that cooking, but not in GG!!

She's randomly decorating without sense every cake there while talking non interesting things. Looks more like a scene from Lorelai's dream that a scene from real life. It makes no sense at all.

The cake that Lorelai and Suki liked the most were the one that has nothing to do with Luke: the Lorelai's milestone.

Emily in Nantucket: writers gift us 2 ridiculous and out of character moments: she living with her maid and her family as I said brefore (they sleep in the couches, and Emily covers them with a blanket like they were their children or something), and working (like magic and out of the blue) at the museum as a guide scaring children with the way people hunt for whales.

It was meant to be funny? Maybe for children.

We see Jess looking at Rory in what might be feelings for her but we never know.

We can assume it is 10pm and Lorelai wakes up Rory because "we are going to get married" What? The 3 of them go to the town square in Luke's truck. The same one since 2000. The town looks again like a tv studio once more. Kids dancing in Miss Patty's dance studio.. weird... they arrived and the decoration Kirk left for the wedding was perfect.

Then the scenes come one after the other looking like a 1950's movie combined with a bad movie from the 80's and a musical video all at the same time.

And yes, the priest and witnesses were all there at the gazebo like magic after the dance, and got married because they wanted an intimate ceremony.

It is really obvious that Luke has a thick toupee. He was going bold since season 1 episode 1.

In the normal GG everyone would have say something funny about it. Not here. Of course, the actor don't want to be embarrassed,

Like these writers like to do, one thing happens in the night and out of the blue, the continuation scene happens at daylight, like it was a timelapse: Lorelay and Rory are sitting in the gazebo's stairs talking casually, but I noticed that the chemistry between them was not right. They look like they were abut to strike the "nice weather" speach.. Rory received a text message, it was Paul, her "boyfriend" that writers find it funny to have all the characters forget about him. He dumped her.

Rory then confess something to Lorelai that have been hiding from her like she was out of character (yes, she was, the real Rory wouldn't do that): "mom... I'm pregnant"
