![]() While my initial impression was that Rory’s behaviour was out of character in the revival, I realized it is actually a natural progression of her previous actions. So, what happened between the two series? She’s thirty-two, jobless with a one-hit-wonder piece, living with her mother, and dating a boyfriend that she doesn’t respect enough to let go of while she sleeps with her engaged ex. Almost a decade since the original series, Rory, now the same age her mother was in the first season, is unlike anything we envisioned for her when we first met the 16-year old small-town sweetheart. At least once throughout the series, we’re destined to understand where both Lorelai and her mother Emily (Kelly Bishop) are coming from, although their stances were always diametrically opposed.ĭespite my connection to this series, I never seemed to fully understand Rory’s volatile character development, especially in the recent revival season on Netflix. A lot unravels over the course of seven seasons, but despite that, it’s inevitable to find ourselves relating to these raw characters and getting invested in their lives. Lorelai, having estranged herself from her parents after falling pregnant as a teen, has to ask her rich parents for monetary help when Rory gets accepted into a prestigious and expensive private school. ![]() Gilmore Girls is a series premised on single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her teenage daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel), living in Stars Hollow, a close-knit small Connecticut town. I consider watching Gilmore Girls one of the finer moments of my quarantine, and given the difficult and isolating nature of the pandemic, I could not have picked a better time to watch this tender and comforting show.
