I absolutely loved it . I was going to watch one episode and then go to bed , but five minutes in I was like NOPE ! !! Not sleeping tonight ! . Was it perfect in an objective viewpoint ? No . But it was perfect for me . It left it open for more if that ' s a possibility , but also closed it off in a very Gilmore Girls way , I think . Life goes on . I actually loved the characterizations of the mains . Logan was Logan , but more grown up . I hated him in my first viewing , and even through to like the fifth , but he grew on me and I started noticing little nuances to him that I hadn ' t before . Something I haven ' t seen discussed yet is how he very obviously still loves Rory , but , after her turning down his marriage proposal , he ' s much more cautious and careful with his life overall , as evidenced by his willingness to marry someone he didn ' t love because it ' s what was expected of him . I think Rory was always Logan ' s saving grace before she came into his life , he was completely happy to carry on as a playerentitled rich kid when she came into the picture , he wanted more , both of his life and of his personal freedom . I really felt like he wanted to be with Rory , but didn ' t want to be spurned again , so he kinda went about trying to get her back in a subtle way that I don ' t believe she even picked up on because she was going through so much she couldn ' t notice it for what it was . I feel like he wanted her to choose him , like he did so many years ago . Rory . I love Rory . I know a lot of people hate Rory and Lorelai , but I love her . Ever since I first watched the show started last year and finished in March rewatched it at least 15 times since then , I ' ve always identified with her . She doesn ' t always make the best choices she doesn ' t always notice what ' s right in front of her and she isn ' t always the best person she ' s selfish , but not so overtly that it necessarily , for me , detracts from her character , but she cares and tries and is genuinely a good person . She ' s the same as she ' s always been , but at rock bottom she knows she has to do something , but can ' t figure out what it is yet she still tries . Lorelai is Lorelai . She ' s grown a bit since we ' ve last seen her , but she ' s also retreated back into what she knows will protect her and keep her from breaking inability or no drive to communicate what she ' s thinking or feeling making quips to distract from herself and trying to take care of everyone else while she ' s falling apart . She ignores what ' s in front of her because it ' s painful or difficult or uncomfortable , and she , eventually , finds her way back where she started and actually wanting the answer . And I love her for it . One thing that I didn ' t like , and this is more storybased than characterbased , was her journey near the end after the final musical song . She really seemed like she realized what she needed in that moment , but then when we see her next , it ' s like she ignores what she knows and makes an excuse to delay what she knows she needs purely for filler reasons . Jess was amazing . On my first viewing of the show , I absolutely loathed him . On my second viewing , however , I loved him so much and hated that he left . He knew he had to grow up and he did it , and that ' s in the original show . I was so happy to see that he didn ' t regress or change too much and was still who he grew into and , I believe , always was inside . He ' s very obviously still completely in love with Rory , but he wants her to do what she wants and needs to be happy , even if it ' s nothing to do with him . He ' s a great example of True Love completely selfless and whole . Of all the possibilities , I wanted Jess the most , before watching AYITL , and even more as the episodes went on . Luke was basically the same , only much more open about what he wanted and didn ' t want . I saved the best for last . Emily . Was . Fantastic . Her entire life was thrown out of whack and she had to relearn how to live because of the huge part of her life that was just gone . And she did it brilliantly . She did retreat into who she used to be , but that ' s to be expected in a situation like hers . In the end , she came to realize who she wanted to be and what she wanted from her life now that what she knew was forever changed . I believe that , in her heart of hearts , she always wanted a big , loving family that she could take care of , but was so shackled by societal expectations and pressures that she didn ' t know how to go about getting it . She really rose to the occasion in such an unexpected , yet brilliantly amazing , way I never would have envisioned it , but , now , knowing what I know , I ' m extremely excited for my next fresh rewatch of both series '. The story , for the most part , was fantastic there were a couple parts that really detracted from it , and I feel as if , had they been left out or made shorter , we could have gotten so much more time with certain characters or storylines , but I loved nearly every second of it coughsmusicalcoughs . The ending was something I expected , though I did think it was going to come about in a different way . But I think it was perfect . It closed things off in a really good way , I think , but at the same time left it open for more . I could go on forever about this , but this is already extremely long . I just wanted to touch on a few points and , as is my nature , went on a long explanation of every single one of them and say that I ' m so glad I discovered the show last year It has become a part of my daily life and I wouldn ' t have it any other way and also that the revival was everything I hoped it would be and more .
