I was just celebrating on 12_12_12's page. I think the actors and getting to go back to Stars Hallow/Connecticut world and the fact that the Palladinos are writing are enough to make it preemptively good news.

I'm thrilled that it's Amy's chance to end the story as she wanted to end it, finally we will get those final four words :D The recent reunion did get my hopes up already for a film as everyone seemed so up for it, but 4 90 minute episodes is even better than the film that I was hoping for, it will give them so much more scope!

myths of our youths, let's get back!!!
Yep, I read the news this morning, and I've been both thrilled, because, really, it's Gilmore Girls, and Palladino haunted us in all her interviews about the 4 words she had always in mind to end the story with but couldn't, and sad too, because, because we'll not get Herrmann any longer, and it will be a piece of the family never coming back. And besides, he was Emily's rock, He was the one who struggled because of her and yet made her more "human"....

That is a real downer :( I'm wondering if they might focus the first episode on Richard's funeral and everyone coming back together for that, or if he will be written as having died a few years ago so that the emotions aren't so raw and immediate? It will be tough either way though, I can't help thinking of Emily insisting that she go first...

It will be interesting for sure to see Rory at almost 30. As long as there is no stupid Luke/Lorelai  drama for the sake of drama,  I'm excited. And I'm curious about Emily and her life now.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing there will most likely be a L/L wedding for fanservice actually lol, it seems to be what the majority of the audience are expecting! And it will definitely be interesting to see Rory at almost the age that Lorelei was when the series began

Makes me wonder if they'll have Jared at the very least doing a cameo (if not a larger part in it)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Ausiello has since spoiled that all three of Rory's boyfriends will be appearing. I'm not sure that they really need Dean there tbh as he was Rory's boyfriend when she was only 16! But Dean did have a pretty depressing ending, so I suppose that will be nice to get closure there at least, but yeah my best guess is that it will be more of a cameo. It feels to me like Logan and Jess are the boyfriends who had the bigger impact on Rory's love life

[liliaeth]

That and of the three actors that played Rory's boyfriends, Jared is the one with the least amount of free time to offer to film a part in the mini-series. I mean, he's one of the two leads in supernatural. He can't just afford to give up on that for a few weeks to go film his Gilmore Girls scenes.

True, it wouldn't make sense for him to play a huge part in the episodes, although all of the actors should be up for returning still judging by everyone (well other than Melissa McCarthy) showing up for the recent reunion

What is it with all the revivals and continuations of tv-shows at the moment? -.- It is like they ran out of ideas for new shows altogether!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Heh true, but I'm not complaining if it means more X-Files and Gilmore Girls!

[liliaeth]

nostalgia, people our age are starting to be in charge of programming, and they like to see their childhoood and teenage memories back on television and in movies.

I am SO excited for this! I actually just watched the series for the first time on Netflix earlier this year, so this is perfect timing! xD I was so sad when I finished and there were no episodes left.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Oh that's awesome! I never watched it live either, I caught up with it for the first time a few years ago, and I was so pleasantly surprised at what a great show it was. I was happier with the finale than most were I think, but it's always been a bummer to know that Amy planned to end things so differently, it will be nice for her to finally complete her vision and share the four words that she always saw it ending with

[icequeen3101.livejournal.com]

SUCH FUN! :D
(... I hope ^__^ )

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm having a major squee moment right now! Heh possibly speaking too soon, but I don't see how it can go wrong with Amy and all of the principal cast returning

:D :D :D

[place-to-hide.livejournal.com]

I'm excited about this!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Me too!!! :D

Another show I really need to watch...

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Oh you really should! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, if it would just be a slightly cheesy WB drama mostly entered around Rory at school, but the writing was actually so sharp and funny, and the cross-generational writing for all the characters really impressed me. It wasn't just focused on Rory at school, there was just as much focus on the mother and on the grandparents and how they all related to one another

[heavenly44.livejournal.com]

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm glad ASP has chance to wrap it up her way, but she was also the woman who came up with S6. But, here's hoping the show gets the ending it deserves.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Heh true, I'm always a bit surprised when it comes to fans selective memories of the show only taking a turn for the worst with season 7 after Amy left, I really disliked the second half of season 6 and how miserable everything got with Luke and Lorelei. From what I've read there were BTS reasons for the show taking a darker turn though, I'm hoping for the quality of seasons 1-5 again now that everyone will be coming back to the show in a positive frame of mind

Honestly in some ways I prefer season 7 over 6, you could definitely tell that something was missing with the sharpness and wit of the writing, but it also had more heart to it and felt like the writers were trying their best to fix season 6. (I was an early Christopher/Lorelei shipper, but NOT a fan of how things went for them in those seasons). The finale worked pretty well for me in terms of closure actually, I was surprised to read the actors feeling that it had an unfinished feel about it, for me it was never a show that was calling out for a final wrap-up or anything IMO, I'm mostly just thrilled at this news because it gives us chance to revisit the characters again! It will be nice for Amy to be the one to tie things up this time though, and finally use those infamous 4 letters
