“I would say each one of them [gets] closure in a different way”.

There are three teams, and choose wisely: Team Jess, Team Dean, or Team Logan? One of those just happens to be linked to the biggest debate in the show’s seven-season history: which one of Rory’s boyfriends was the best? In a recent interview, Alexis Bledel (who portrays Rory on the series) told US Weekly that viewers would find out where Rory stands with each of her former beaus.
“Rory and Lorelai’s main strength, even if they believe in true love, is that they have themselves and they have each other”, she told EW, when asked about the characters’ amorous fates in the upcoming Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life. I think the show gets back to, you know, the fun that we had for six years of making the show with a great closing of the show.
This is of course a callback to the second season of “Gilmore Girls”, where Jess borrows a copy of “Howl” by poet Allen Ginsburg from Rory (without telling her). Maybe. Alexis revealed that Rory has been “crashing on couches and staying with friends” instead of “planting roots anywhere”.
A photo that circulated online months ago showed Rory in a classroom, which had some fans speculating she’d become a teacher since the the show’s original run ended in May 2007.
“She has been working hard, as she does”, she said. “But in most ways, in all the ways I loved the character, it’s the same”.
“Amy didn’t get to finish the show, so a year in the life is the only way that feels like the conclusion, at least the way she wanted to do it”, Bledel said.
Hmmm… stuck in a rut sounds to me like some of that famously well-worn Lorelai/Luke “will they or won’t they” drama.

Since Netflix announced it’d be reviving “Gilmore Girls” with almost all the original cast, something odd happened on the internet: The only sounds from the haters’ section were crickets. The countdown to November is on!
