Millennial rewind: First time watcher

This week on Millennial Rewind, I’m covering Gilmore Girls Season 3, Episodes 7 and 8. It’s a big turning point. The iconic Stars Hollow 24-hour dance marathon brings drama, heartbreak, and the moment we’ve all been waiting for: Rory and Jess finally get together. But not before Dean calls it like it is and walks away for good (goodbye, first boyfriend, you served your purpose).     https://millen...

After a bit of an unplanned hiatus, I'm back to Millennial Rewind, and I’m covering Gilmore Girls Season 3, Episodes 5 and 6! Lorelai tries her luck with a new man she met at an auction, which turns out to be a VERY boring date. Meanwhile, Rory keeps bumping into Jess (literally!!) and their tension is off the charts. Over in Boston, Sherry ropes Lorelai into her baby shower, complete with weird b...

This week on Millennial Rewind, I’m recapping Gilmore Girls Season 3, Episodes 3 and 4.  Move over Chad Michael Murry, Adam Brody is here and he is here to charm Lane into dying her hair purple (for a whole 30 minutes).  Rory's application process to Harvard isn't as smooth sailing as she thought, after the admission panel unintentionally suggested that everything she did up to that point is LAME...

Season 3 is here, and Gilmore Girls is already delivering drama in the best way. I’m covering episodes 1 and 2, where Rory returns from Washington just in time to see Jess tongue-wrestling with some random girl, since the “Dear Jess” letter were never sent.  Lorelai’s dodging Kirk’s very earnest attempt to ask her out, and Christopher is back with more baby drama, and Emily’s meddling is in full f...

We made it to the Gilmore Girls season two finale! I’m covering episodes 21 and 22, and wow—these were a wild ride. Lorelai graduates business school (yay!), but Rory ditches the ceremony to sneak off to New York for a surprise visit to Jess… and misses everything. Meanwhile, Luke is not invited to Sookie’s wedding (rude!), Jess returns to town, and Rory seals the deal with a full-on kiss. Over at...

This week I’m covering Gilmore Girls season two, episodes 19 and 20—and oh boy, buckle up (literally). Rory ends up in a car accident and Lorelai goes full mama bear, blames Jess for everything short of global warming, and basically kicks him out of town with her rage alone. Goodbye, Jess. You were too punk for Stars Hollow. Meanwhile, Rory’s the town’s golden child, so obviously nothing could’ve...

I'm talking about two episodes of Gilmore Girls this time—season two, episodes 17 and 18! Luke’s uncle dies and Lorelai basically takes over the diner while Luke plans a funeral that literally no one attends.

Rory loses her bracelet from Dean (spoiler: Jess had it), Lorelai calls him out, and Luke decides to just buy his whole building and knock down walls—no big deal. Meanwhile, Lorelai and Emily try a spa weekend that ends with stolen robes, a silver fox, and some very awkward mother-daughter bonding. Plus, Rory’s solo night turns i...

This week on Millennial Rewind, I'm diving into two very eventful episodes of Gilmore Girls—season two, episodes 13 and 14! First up, the iconic Stars Hollow basket auction leads to chaos. Jess dramatically outbids Dean for Rory’s basket (for the equivalent of $168!), and emotions run high. Meanwhile, Jackson fails to buy Sookie’s basket, leading to a petty (and pricey) fallout that somehow ends i...

This week I’m recapping Gilmore Girls season 2, episodes 11 and 12! Termites invade the Gilmore house. With no bank willing to help and Lorelai refusing to ask her parents for money, the tensions between her and Rory are high.

Rory gets pulled into Chilton’s social politics when she unintentionally impresses the secret sorority, the Puffs, and helps Paris finally get accepted—only for it to blow up in their faces during a wild middle-of-the-night initiation gone wrong. Lorelai tries to play the Chilton mom game and ropes Emily into a fashion show...

This week, I’m covering two episodes of Gilmore Girls—season two, episodes five and six! Episode five marks the arrival of Jess (aka Dale in my head), Luke’s rebellious nephew, and he’s all bad boy vibes—cigarettes, stolen books, and moody stares—and Lorelai’s dinner invite doesn’t quite smooth things over. Meanwhile, Rory is navigating awkward tension with Mr. Medina at school and accidentally en...

This week I’m covering Gilmore Girls season two, episodes three and four! Wedding bells? Not quite. Lorelai's big day is two weeks away and nothing seems to be planned—because deep down, she knows something’s off. Max moves in for a trial run, but instead of playing house, Lorelai starts unraveling. A chaotic bachelorette party leads to a very questionable call to Christopher(!!), and before we kn...

I’m covering the first two episodes of Gilmore Girls season two—and we’re kicking things off right after the thousand daisies proposal, and a whirlwind of gossip, secrets, and surprise parties. Lorelai is engaged to Max, but somehow the entire town finds out before her Luke, Sookie and her parents.  Meanwhile, Rory is discovering she might be way behind on those Harvard-boosting extracurriculars....

It's season finale! I’m covering Gilmore Girls season 1 episodes 20 and 21! While still wallowing over Dean, Rory decided she had enough of everyone's protection and runs away, to her grandparents house.

Trix, drops in, shaking up the weekend and forcing Emily to fake-smile through her worst nightmare.

Love (and heartbreak) are in the air as Stars Hollow goes all out for the Founders Firelight Festival.

This week, I’m covering Gilmore Girls season one, episodes 13, 14, and 15! Lorelai sacrifices her own concert experience so Rory can bond with Paris (because that’s definitely going to work out well). Dean and Rory get into a full-on feminist debate over The Donna Reed Show. But the real chaos begins when Christopher rolls into Stars Hollow on his motorcycle, charming Rory, rattling Lorelai, and t...

I’m covering three more episodes of Gilmore Girls—season one, episodes 10, 11, and 12!

Plus, I'll discuss the heated family drama at Rory's two birthday parties and how the Friday night dinners never fail to deliver on awkwa...

In this episode, I’m breaking down episodes three and four of Gilmore Girls! We’ve got Rory's golf day with her grandfather (surprisingly not a total disaster), a completely unhinged wedding at the Independence Inn, and some major family drama—Lorelai’s jealousy, Rory’s first-ever bad grade (ouch), and some tense parent-teacher meetings. Plus, you'll hear about my excitement over a new microphone...

In this episode I recap the very informative pilot of the Gilmore Girls, where we learn everything we need to know about the show (and just how wrong I was last week), and episode 2 where we get to witness Rory’s chaotic first day at Chilton, while Lorelai juggles (10!!!) coffee runs and potential love interests.   PS I know it is RuPaul and not Ra-Pool – this will happen, just go with it.   https...

In the short and sweet debut episode (a minisode?) of Millennial Rewind, before I hit play and dive into Gilmore Girls for the first time, I will somewhat ramble my very limited knowledge of Starry Valley (or is it Stars Hollow?). From Lorelai and Luke’s romance to Rory’s future, my predictions set the stage for a fun, spoiler-free journey. Whether you’re a fan or a first-time viewer, join me for...
