~Gilmore Girls: A review~

So, this is a review of one of my favourite series. It's funny, warm, friendly and just everything you wish for in a serie. And it's pretty long. Seven seasons, every season 22 episodes of about 45 minutes. And then you have season 8, that has 4 episodes, one and a half hour long each. Spoilers will come around a bit, but not very major ones.




Lorelai Gilmore.
Lorelai is hilarious! She has the best lines in Gilmore Girls and is very witty. But she's also very emotional and she loves her daughter Rory. She and her parents don't have a very smooth relationship, but they still meet sometimes(Friday dinners, you know). I think, no I know, Lorelai is my favourite person in the show. She is not flexible, and likes to have things her own way. She's not the marrying person, but still engages twice. She is a great person in Gilmore Girls.

Rory Gilmore.
Rory is quite shy sometimes, she thinks no bad of anyone mostly, and is very sweet. She has no hard relationship with her grandparents, but sometimes gets really mad on them(mostly on Emily). She grows a lot during the seasons(not like growing, getting larger, the other growing). She is quite witty sometimes too. Her real name is Lorelai, but Rory is how everyone calls her to prevent confusion.


Luke Danes.
His real name is Lucas, but he prefers Luke. He gets mad really quickly and has a regular routine. He always quarrels with Taylor, and is quite jealous sometimes. He is also grumpy most of the time. But despite of that, he has a big heart and is very kind. He is funny too.

Jess Mariano.
Jess is a lot like Luke. He doesn't get mad that quickly and doesn't have a regular routine at all. He quarrels with people, but he loves Rory until the end. Luke quarrels a lot with him, but Jess knows when he deserves it(he's the one who's pushed in the water by Luke). Despite of the fights Jess and Luke have, Luke is proud of Jess later, when he wrote a book. Jess is actually kind, but does not like everyone and doesn't show it a lot either. I didn't like him first, but later I did, and I still like him. Ad he is really funny.

Lane Kim.
Lane hides her secret life from her mother, who's very religious. She plays the drum in a band called Hep Alien, loves rock and junk food and is Rory's best friend since kindergarten. She also changes a lot during the seasons. She's very kind and curious. And scared that her mom will find about her secret life. She talks a lot.


Paris Geller.
Paris is a strange girl. She is Rory's enemy at first, but later they become friends. She is not patient at all and if she's mad, better stay out of her way. But she's kind too and sometimes doesn't think about something she says that might hurt someone. She doesn't care what anyone else says about her, and remembers things for a long while. Her only friend is Rory. She is smart, but strange. And very talkative. She talks really fast, loud, and much. She is also directly.

Dean Forester.
I liked Dean first. Later he became very annoying and I didn't like him. He was sweet and all to Rory, but was not the one for her. Rory was constantly afraid that he would get mad(which shouldn't be the case with your boyfriend, right?). And later when he...ehm...I'm not supposed to tell that, so I'll skip that part. However, I still don't like him. Still.


Sookie St. James.
Sookie is great. She's Lorelai's best friend and is kind, caring, giggly, nervous, and a very good cook. She is the cook in the Independence Inn and later in the Dragonfly Inn. She is really funny and very precise about her food.


Michel Gerard.
Michel is very sarcastic and we laugh about him all the time. Despite of that, he's a friend of Lorelai. Although he always fights with Lorelai. ''Michel is to me like Paris is to you''. That's what Lorelai claimed to Rory. He talks American with a French accent in the show, but in fact he's plain American, with no trace of French.

Emily Gilmore.
Emily is annoying, and a big meddler. She always interferes in Lorelai's and Rory's life. I mean, sometimes it's allowed and good that she does that, but mostly not. But we can laugh about her sometimes. And she's a good wife to Richard. She gets panicked quite quickly when something happens.


Richard Gilmore.
Richard meddles in Rory's life also. He is her grandfather, but meddling is still not always good. But he's actually a very nice guy. Well, that's what I thought. Sometimes he was not being nice, but still. He was kinder than Emily. I don't have that much to say about him.


Christopher Hayden.
I'll never look at the name ''Christopher'' the same way. I did not like Christopher at all. Why did he come between Luke&Lorelai? Why did he think he and Lorelai could be together? Why did he wait for Lorelai to marry him? Why did he even marry Lorelai? Sorry, that was a spoiler. But he's so annoying! So very annoying! I'm sorry, but I don't like him. Everytime he shows up, everything goes wrong. When we see him coming up in the show, we all say: ''Noooo!'' Really, it's true. Everyone finds him annoying. I couldn't find a gif of him. By the way, he always says ''Lor'' to Lorelai.


Logan Huntzberger.
I didn't like Logan very much. I mean, first he was just annoying and quite arrogant. And rich, which meant he spent money on parties and cars and Birkin bags for Rory. Later he was not that annoying, he was...okay. But then as the serie moved on, I still didn't like him more. He wasn't always that steady with his relationship with Rory. I'm actually glad she decided to go away from him. Although I felt sorry for him *SPOILER ALERT* when Rory refused his proposal *SPOILER OVER*. He always calls Rory: ''Ace''. I don't know why. Maybe it means something. If you watch the gif closely, you can actually see him say ''Ace'' on the end of his sentence. Sometimes he calls her Rory. But most of the time, it's just Ace.

Taylor Doose.
Taylor is very annoying, he always argues with Luke, and sometimes does things without anyone knowing. But I'll admit he's a good member of the town council. Look at Jackson, who wanted to be a member of the town council(it all went wrong). Taylor loves tradition and history, and always makes up weird events to raise up money.

Kirk.
(Couldn't find a gif of Kirk either, so just a picture then) Kirk is really really weird. He surprises you everytime with the weirdest things you can think of, and beyond. He shows up just like that at places. He made two short films (who are, I have to say, extremely weird). He had 15.000 jobs over 11 years, and has 125.000 dollars on his bank bill. Despite of that he's dorky, he's a good chap. And he wants to prove to Taylor that he can do things right. He once hid easter eggs around the whole town, and didn't remember where the last eggs were. So, the whole town smelled like rotten eggs. Taylor was mad!


I think I had the most important ones now. There are a few other people though: Miss Patty, Babette, Morey, Max Medina, Jason Stiles, Zach van Gerbig, Gil, Brian, Kyon, Lindsay, Nicole, April Nardini, Sherry, Mrs Kim, Steve and Kwan, Georgia(Gigi), Alex, Paul, Lucy, Marty, and some others.

So, all in all, I want to say: Gilmore Girls is fabulous and the characters are great and the scenes too. Amy Sherman-Palladino and the other producers of Gilmore Girls got talent.

An ending gif.

And we're done!

    1. Oh yes, you should watch Gilmore Girls! It is really great!
      I fyou think the start is dull, which isn't likely, but if you do, then don't stop: just keep on watching. It'll be worth it!

  2. I LOVED this review!!!

    So witty, lovely and great. :)

    Lorelai and Rory!! I love them. I love their relationship through the series as mother and daughter and as best friends. :) I didn't like it when they had a big fight, I was glad when they said to each other that they where sorry.

    I liked Dean a lot in the first and second season, but through the other seasons he gets quite annoying.

    I don't like Jess either, but I actually liked him in season 8.

    I like Logan, when you first meet him, he is a rich and spoiled boy, and he drinks and parties a lot, but he is very kind for Rory, even though he brings her in trouble. I think Rory and he fit perfectly, I was a little bit sad when Rory refused him.

    Sookie is hilarious!! And Michel! :D

    I totally agree with you about Luke. He is always grumpy, but has a good heart. I didn't like it at all when he and Lorelai broke up.

    Ugh! I don't like Christopher either! In the beginning he wasn't really annoying. He is always in Lorelai's life and that isn't so fun. I know he is Rory's father, but it was kinda annoying when he appeared so much in a couple seasons.

    Kirk is strange guy. He is funny, I must admit that.

    Emily and Richard are kind and witty, but they are sometimes annoying. They interfere, but I think they mean it good.

    Paris is hilarious. She is a strange girl, but she is kind. Well, to Rory.

  3. Wow, thanks for the long comment Rachel!
    It's always nice to read how someone else feels about a show you like.
    I must disagree with you on one point. I didn't think Logan and Rory were the perfect couple. I always imagined Jess to finally end up with Rory, but sadly...well, everyone has another opinion, right?
    Again thank you for the long and kind comment!

    It sounds good from your review, though, so I'll probably give it a try!!

    1. Yes, it absolutely is! Except for the younger ones like 4 or 7 year old kids. And maybe not so great for boys as it is for girls(because it's about Gilmore ''Girls''). But they have a lot of male characters too. It is funny and there might be some scenes who I would prefer not to be in there, but all in all it's really good, so do give it a try. If you don't like it, at least you tried.

  5. Eeeek!!! I love this series too. I mean, I wish it was sliiightly more moral *ahem*, but you know.

    I love Lorelai and Rory (although Rory makes me pretty angry in the later seasons/the Netflix reunion with her relationship choices). And I'm with you on Christopher and Dean (NO), and I haven't seen a lot of Logan but I wasn't a fan of what I did see. :-P But that might just be because I'm pretty firmly Team Jess. I think Jess had a lot of growing up to do in the beginning, but in the later seasons/the Netflix reunion I think he and Rory would have been awesome. :'(

    By the way, have you seen the Netflix reunion they did?

    Haha, that gif of Lane and the chips. XD

    This post was very good indeed and I may have stolen a few of the gifs. ;D Thanks for the fun review!!

    1. Me too! They are my second best series, after Robin Hood BBC of course! Yeah, I know what you mean, but it's such a good serie that I usually just try to ignore that.
      Lorelai is my fav character. My older brother really does not like Rory at all. She made me mad in the later seasons too, and sometimes I really did not like her, especially with her relationship choices, yes. Blegh, Christopher and Dean. I'm so glad they were only seen minimum in the Netflix reunion. No, me neither. Logan had such a bad influence on Rory. I mean, folks, she steals a jacht, breaks into a breakfast room at Yale, she gets into prison! If that isn't a bad influence, then I don't know what is. But yes, maybe I really don't like Logan and Dean because I'm team Jess too. He had a lot of growing up, yeah, and he was never really ready yet, but later he and Rory should have been together :( If they make more episodes, I so hope that he and Rory finally get together again. Yes, I have seen it. And although some of my siblings and also my parents a bit think that the Netflix reunion is not really Gilmore Girls anymore,I still loved it! I only regret that the song ''Where you lead, I will follow'' wasn't there anymore.
      Lane is my second favourite character of all the girls, after Lorelai.
      Thanks, Olivia! Well, you can take as many as you want ;) I loved making the review, I'm glad you liked it!
