Spending any kind of time with Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) is always, without exception, a delight. Even more so when it’s Christmas, a time so wonderfully magical, even when delayed (more on that later), that it transcends the fact that season 7 of Gilmore Girls Continue Reading

Are we going to back to Stars Hollow for more Gilmore Girls? Don’t pack your bags just yet
It has oft been said that you can’t go back, and while that’s true in lots of instances, it’s increasingly not the case when it comes to old TV shows. Why even Frasier might be coming back to our increasingly-crowded screens! Of course, Gilmore Girls has already returned to Continue Reading
On 5th day of Christmas … I re-watched Gilmore Girls: “Forgiveness and Stuff” (S1, E10)
If there’s one family that isn’t belting out a rousing rendition of Paul McCartney’s “Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time” with brio and eggnog-enhanced joy, it is the Gilmores of Stars Hollow and Hartford, Connecticut. Fresh from Rory’s (Alexis Bledel) innocent misadventure post-formal Chilton dance (“Rory’s Dance”), where she Continue Reading
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life gets the credit sequence it deserves
I thoroughly enjoyed Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life which premiered last year on my birthday, 25 November, and was the best present I could have asked for! While it was a little disconcerting to watch everyone that much older and not necessarily wiser, in much the way Continue Reading
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life “Fall” review
So that was quite a year wasn’t it? Admittedly it was distilled down to 4 x 90 minute episodes but given the ups and downs we endured along with Lorelei (Lauren Graham), Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) it feels like an entire year had passed for the Continue Reading
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life “Summer” review
Right so without a moment to waste, let’s address the biggest revelation of the entire episode – Stars Hollow has a swimming pool! Yes, an actual swimming pool by which Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) sun themselves like royalty – when they are not shading themselves of Continue Reading
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life “Spring” review
Spring is supposed to be a time of renewal, rebirth and new chances but that’s not exactly how things are working out for Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) in the second of the new instalments of the Gilmore Girls. In fact as “Spring” dawns in A Year in Continue Reading
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life “Winter” review
OK so who said you can never go back? Really? Lots of people? Well tell them they were all wrong, that they have no idea what they’re talking about and that I smell snow. Yes snow. It’s one of the first lines uttered in the Gilmore Girls reincarnation A Continue Reading
Road to Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life #10: “Bon Voyage” (S7, E22)
And so it is that we say goodbye to Gilmore Girls (well the original incarnation anyway; there are four new episodes in the form of A Year in the Life currently on Netflix to enjoy). Now saying goodbye is never easy, no matter how exciting the new opportunities and Continue Reading
Road to Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life #8: “Raincoats and Recipes” (S4, E22)
On the surface, “Raincoats and Recipes”, which finished off a busy and sometimes tumultuous fourth season for Gilmore Girls, was all about Lorelai (Lauren Graham) finally opening her own inn, a 20 year old dream that finally found fruition in concert with close friend Sookie (Melissa McCarthy). But it Continue Reading
