Gilmore Girls - A Year in the Life - Recap (NO spoilers)

I honestly don't really know where to start. 

First of all, this blog post will not be a spoiler. I will not spoiler anything for those who did not watch it yet. So you don't have to worry about that. You can keep on reading. I will only talk about my impressions of the four new movie like episodes. If that is already too much of a spoiler for you, you should definitely stop reading here and come back when you watched it. And I want to keep this recap kind of short. 

For those who read my blog and read my post about two weeks ago, in which I told you why I love this show about a fast-talking-mother-daughter-duo so much. If you not, here is the link: 

Anyway, I and many other fans have waited many years for a revival. YEARS!!! Literally years!! I never quite liked the last season — season 7 — of the Gilmore Girls. It was probably because the producers and writers changed. But season 7 is definitely my least favorite season of them all. I don't like the ending of it. It did not feel right. And apparently many people around the world felt the same way. I was very thrilled when they announced the revival, with the original producers and writers. I could not wait for the new episodes. On November 25th, 2016 it finally way time. Four brand new, 90 min  episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix. 

Oh, how I missed them!! I do have ever single season on DVD and watch them, a lot. But I really missed brand new episodes and brand new storylines. Within the first few moments of the first episode „Winter“ I started to tear up. It was so good to see new footage of Stars Hollow. And it definitely was good to see Lorelai and Rory again. 

Here are a few questions that you might wonder about:

Did I enjoy the new episodes? Oh yes, I did very much so. 

Do I like them? Oh yes, I do. I actually love them. 

Are they better than season 7 and more like season 1-6? They definitely are. 

Did I get answers to questions I had after season 7 ended? Yes, I did. Pretty much everything I, personally, wondered about has been answered. Besides one question. And a few minor ones. 

Am I alright with Lorelai’s love life? Yes, I am. I think she ended up with the person I always thought she should end up with. 

Am I alright with Rory’s love life? I don’t know how to answer that. 

Is Stars Hollow still the Stars Hollow we know and love? It definitely is. 

Do I miss some presence of some characters? Unfortunately, I do. Especially one character. 

Are the new episodes give us closure? In some points they do, in others they definitely do not. 

Do I like the ending and the very hyped last four words? WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING BY ENDING THIS WITH THOSE WORDS?! I mean come on. That ending is like…  I… it… whoa… I don't even know. It ends with a BAM. There are sooooooooo many new unanswered questions now. I could write them all down but then I would definitely be spoilering. All I’m saying is, I NEED MORE!!! There has to be more new stuff planned. 

Overall, I definitely enjoyed every single second of the new episodes. They represent what we love so much about the Gilmore Girls and the entire show. But after the ending, it definitely has to continues.
