Last Friday night, after the nine longest year of our lives, Netflix released ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life’ and Gen Y collectively huddled on their Ikea modular sofas, sipping Diet Coke and shedding tears for every second Melissa McCarthy wasn’t on our screens.
Here’s what went through my mind during episode 3:
- Alright, you know it’s going to be a good ep when it opens on a weekday pool party.
- Guys, Rory’s not back, she’s just taking some time off unemployment to gather herself and return to turning down employment opportunities.
- It's like Amy SP Googled 'teenage stereotype' for April's part.
- How does Rory have all three phones back?? She literally tore them to pieces not one episode ago.
- Cool let’s call Logan again, maybe he’s not engaged anymore.
- Hey Rory, you can’t get mad that Logan’s fiancé move in with him.
- You can get mad about turning down all those jobs though.
- #GypsyIsBerta
- Oh no the Stars Hollow Gazette is shutting down! Somebody wake up Rory!
- Luke + Floaty Hut 4eva.
- Rory has just taken another salary-free job.
- Knowing her, she’ll be able to fly around the world six times with that pay cheque.
- Michel is so good at pretending to like children.
- He has absolutely no loyalty to the Dragonfly Inn though.
- Maybe Lorelai can offer Rory a job so she can practice turning more down.
- I hate when I can’t remember if I ordered a baby or not.
- LUKE, GET OUT OF MELISSA MCCARTHY’S KITCHEN.
- No, Lorelai, you haven’t thanked Luke for hosting Tuesday Burger Day, in fact, I don’t think you’ve given him so much as a hug in nine years.
- The Gilmore’s may be made for dating wealthy men, but they weren’t made for walking.
- Leave Emily alone, Rory, she’s just having a sleep in.
- Don’t you know she was married to Richard for fifty years??
- Stop bitching about Grandma and put the poem back in the gazette.
- 'Stars Hollow: The Musical that would get a standing O at any primary school'.
- If there's no ABBA, there's no point.
- There is an unrealistic representation of redheads in the DAR.
- It’s probably because they ran out of gays.
- I can’t believe Rory replaced that ancient computer with a brand new Macbook, it probably set her back a couple of Logan’s thou.
- Yas Jess is back!
- “How did you bag the job?”
- She didn’t turn it down, Jess, it’s amazing how many jobs you can get when you don’t turn them down.
- Rory must be so pissed that Jess is a successful author.
- Oh, you are broke Rory??
- Fascinating. Did you find that brand new 15" Macbook Pro in the Cole bargain bin??
- Rory, don’t talk down the teaching profession, you’re currently unemployed.
- Yaass Rory, write a book, then make a TV show, let’s go full circle. #girlmoregirlception
- Seriously, who is this Jack?
- Yeah, stay seated, Jack, Lorelai will get her own San Pellegrino.
- Emily is such a sour biatch to Lor.
- That gravestone would cost more than my car.
- Seriously, how can Rory afford rent when she’s the editor for the Stars Hollow Gazette??
- BECAUSE SHE’S GOING TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HER LIFE BISHES
- Oops, no she’s not, Lorelai ain’t givin’ her no permish for that shiz.
- Ok Lorelai is so mean about Jess, he wears blazers now.
- Who let Lane get mum hair?
- Rory probably paid her to do it with her imaginary income stream.
- Rory you can’t break up with someone who’s engaged to someone else.
- Apple is definitely a sponsor this season
- Yes, Lorelai is finally talking to Luke.Leaving for three weeks to recreate 'The Wild' book is definitely code for marrying Christopher in Paris.
- You can’t fool us Lorelai.
- We’ve been here four times before.
- What a fab place to end an episode.
