AUTUMN IN STARS HOLLOW, I HATE AUTUMN
A sad moment in my existence, because the long-awaited continuation of Gilmore Girls is indeed coming to an end. In the form of an autumn, too. Autumn and I are not such a great match. I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it. But what must be, must be, right? Here it comes.
1. Everyone has been saying for a week: it all comes full circle. Oh my, WHAT THEN? But I've been doing particularly well with that promise for a week now.
2. Sniff, the last one.
3. Lorelai is holed up in a shady hotel room full of DNA samples, jeez. I would recommend a round of blacklight in that fifty shades of orange, Lor.
4. That catfight with the backpack, as if I'm looking in the mirror when going on vacation. But you're going ‘Wild’, dear Gilmore Girl, you don't need all that junk on the Pacific Crest Trail.
5. Is it just me or is that Esther always by the archive cabinet? It's just that we don't have an archive cabinet at the Amayzine offices, because it looks damn interesting.
6. I find that quite pleasant, a bit of typing in a café. Luke is a little less charmed by our zombies.
7. But do I see a new table where Jess (oh hello Jess) and Luke are gathering? And that thing has a high we-talk-about-the-serious-things-in-life level. Phew.
8. By the way, are you category movie or book? I was very much movie because of Reese, but now I'm flirting a bit with the book. Choices, choices. Difficult.
‘Thinking of hiking makes you smell.’
9. And heroin is so incredibly the new housewife drug. Man, oh man, the life of a housewife is a lot more exciting these days. Kids out of bed, round of teeth brushing, just warming up the spoon.
10. IN OMNIA PARATUS! Yes, I even pull an exclamation mark out of the closet for that. The life and death brigade, TV kids, what a delight. I think everyone deserves a good dose of this brigade in their daily grind. This is more my version of being wild. No offense Lorelai.
11. ‘Cigars, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes.’ Oh no, those e-extracts are even creeping into my favorite series. What happened to a good solid smoke, guys, and teetotalers (because that's obviously also totally okay)?
12. Help me remember that I need to learn the tango. I find it absolutely amazing if you can do that. Can I take lessons?
13. Finn, you absolute snob. I want to hang out with you.
14. That a hotel is so British that Hugh Grant is in the closet. I would include him in the checkboxes on Booking.com, because Hugh Grant sells.
15. And Rory is doing a classic breakup trio with Robbert, Colin, and Finn. I completely understand.
16. ‘So this is walking? I don’t like it.’ (with a violently British accent) Haaaaa, I need to remember that for my repertoire of lame excuses, Finn. Lorelai's also works well: ‘Thinking of hiking makes you smell.’ The walking club has lost ten members after this beautiful season of Gilmore Girls.
17. YES, YES, YAAAAS! There is a wedding and Luke only leaves the building in a body bag. My love was even sighing with relief during this particular scene, she just couldn't handle Lorelai's last escape attempt.
18. Emily is meanwhile winning an Oscar for scaring unsuspecting children with dirty sperm whale stories. Those things are functional, absurd. What you can make from such a little fish (just kidding, just kidding).
19. Rory gets the spirit for her book in grandpa's chair. Oops, bad word choice? But genius of course.
20. Mother Emily is still having a great time with the adopted family of unknown origin in her Sand Castle. I would have kept it nice at Clamb Shag, but to each their own.
21. Nooooo, Dean. #$&@*. Not Dean, come on guys. Not Dean. Oh thank goodness, someone is pregnant. Not Dean then.
“And yes, again drinking.
Cheers, hic.”
22. SOOKIE, SOOKIE, SOOKIE. And a huge pornographic moment with a whipped cream dispenser. I've never seen the whipped cream dispenser as pornographic, but from now on everything is different.
23. I find Rory and Lorelai in the back of the pickup truck so intense The Perks of Being a Wallflower. But better well stolen than poorly invented.
24. Secretly getting married, I dig that. Especially when the village idiot has gone wild with a glitter gun and double-sided tape. And it also looks like Gandalf has conjured the magical tree from The Lord of the Rings to Stars Hollow.
25. And yes, again drinking. Cheers, hic.
26. Poor Paul sends the most businesslike break-up text ever. But PP, you're right. Your schedules just didn't work well together and you weren't doing well together in other ways either.
27. ‘I’m pregnant.’ Waaaaaaaaaaaat? But waaaaaaaat, Rory? O-M-G. You get that when you go wild in a British hotel like Hugh Grant. Or was she off-screen with Jess? Well, it was definitely not with Dean against the shelf with cornstarch.
28. You know what this suggests? Well, I do. A SEQUEL. And it's criminal to let Rory wander around pregnant for more than a year, so it must be a quick sequel. Smart Palladino's, I must say.
