Gilmore Girls Fans?

Well it was officially renewed by Netflix the other day.

It may be a while until we see new episodes, though with the principal cast locked up in other roles. With enough money as an incentive, I'm sure they'll come up with something.

I watched the pilot of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Sherman-Palladinos' pilot for Amazon. It was a good and I hope it gets picked up.

Now watching season 5, episode 20. I must have a mini-rant. Unpaid internships are not cool. I had four internships and all of them are paid. Not getting paid for your work should not be seen as a rite of passage.

Also, I'll note that my internships were far more structured, even my first one, which was at a small company, had structure. They didn't just throw me in there and ask me to figure it out.

Also it's obvious to me that the Huntsburger family is supposed to be GG's version of the Sultzburger family (owner of The New York Times).

Depending on your field, internships can be a required part of your degree. When I was in college we had the option of doing internships and having that applied to your degree plan in lieu of a class. Also, prestigious companies can offer unpaid internships because being able to put their name on your resume when you are applying for a job is a huge plus.

And let's not forget - Rory got that internship because she was dating Logan - if she had not been dating Logan she wouldn't have gotten the internship.


Overall on Gilmore Girls I liked the show when it was first on, I haven't watched the Revamp on Netflix, and I'll occasionally watch an episode if I see it on TV, but I find now as I've gotten past my teenage years and closer to Lorelei's age that I find Lorelei incredibly obnoxious and dislike her character.

Oh god, why? I mean, I watched Gilmore Girls when it originally aired and I have watched the series maybe twice or three times on reruns. And I watched the four Netflix episodes. Saying they were "OK" is kind. I have other words to describe them, which are not kind. Why would they renew Gilmore Girls and do another return? Yeah, money is the answer but gosh. Enough is enough.

I love Paris! Wasn't she originally cast to be Rory before they decided on Alexis?

Okay guys, I did it! I finished the series AND the revival!

Without giving spoilers -- my biggest criticism of the revival is that it seem a bit excessive in fan service. I get that a lot of Gilmore Girls fans felt that there wasn't a "proper" ending because the Palladinos weren't invovled, but I felt that in the revival they almost catered to that too much so.

I think the best part about the revival, to me, was Emily Gilmore's story arc. Kelly Bishop really was top notch -- as she was in the original series -- in the revival and for me the best moments of the show involved Emily. I think the original series always focused on how Emily really had trouble really being her own person outside of the "roles" she played and I was glad to see some evolution in her character here.

I think Lorelai had some good character development in this revival, especially with her relationship with her mom and Luke.

The opposite of both of those, unfortunately, is how Rory Gilmore turned out here. I think if you were a hard core Gilmore Girls fan who watched the series originally, you still rooted for her to be successful. But golly for all her talent and smarts, I could not believe she made such poor life/career decisions. I think maybe Rory was the damage of not having the Palldinos involved in season 7. I think it was very obvious to me that some of her plot arcs were ones planned for the final season. In this reboot, they seem sort of out of place, at best, and at worse, means that Rory has not experienced much growth as a person/writer in the 10 years between the series and the revival.

All that said, there was still plenty to like. I like the Paris arc and Kirk's antics were upgraded for 2016 and there were lots of funny moments. I think the episodes could have been edited considerably to maybe 1 hour episodes. But I think I enjoyed it enough where it was worth my time to watch.

I blame the Palladinos - they are talented but very self indulgent when they don't have anyone giving them notes. Netflix basically gave them free reign and it shows, for better and for worse.
