I don't know if it was watching six straight hours of Gilmore Girls, or if I've matured and developed better taste, or if these characters have always been so irritating, but A Year in the Life was a Love/Hate fest for sure. If it weren't for Emily Gilmore, I'm not sure I would even have the Love part. She was likable and funny and honest. She often made Lorelai look like an idiot - being snappy just for the sake of being snappy. Lorelai, you're middle aged and almost 50, so lose the angst.
It was occasionally awkward watching these characters. It seemed like some of these actors were out of practice with the lengthy, all-over-the-place, trying-too-hard-to-be-clever language and couldn't quite pull it off. Lorelai and Rory made a joke of it in the very first scene, perhaps a warning that we should keep the bar low.
I loved being back in Stars Hollow and at Luke's diner. The town quirkiness is fun and comforting. This entire series was perfect for Thanksgiving weekend. You're happy Thanksgiving is coming and then you will see your family and catch up, but after a while you're just as happy to see them go. Then, when they actually go, you wish they were back again (because you know they aren't coming back again any time soon.)
But you know Thanksgiving is coming again next year, and just like the new ending of this series, you think Oh Crap.
