With the thrilling information of an upcoming Gilmore Girls documentary, we’re hoping that it addresses the present’s most egregious mistake. This Monday, it was introduced that, in honor of Gilmore Ladies‘ twenty fifth anniversary this October, a documentary referred to as Looking For Stars Hole was within the works (by way of THR).
From Ink On Paper Studios, Looking For Stars Hole will characteristic interviews with a number of distinguished Gilmore Girls cast members, together with Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore), Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester), Chad Michael Murray (Tristan Dugray), Keiko Agena (Lane Kim), Sally Struthers (Babette Dell), Liz Torres (Miss Patty), Emily Kuroda (Mrs. Kim), Rose Abdoo (Gypsy), Grant Lee Phillips (the city troubadour), and extra.
Crew members and creatives may even share unique behind-the-scenes tales, because the documentary explores Gilmore Ladies‘ “function in American cultural historical past.” Looking For Stars Hole‘s Kickstarter web page, which is asking for followers’ assist to complete the movie, says it is going to additionally share “new views and meanings that might be revelatory to the followers.” Hopefully, they embrace addressing this well-known blunder.
The Gilmore Ladies Documentary Should Handle The Present’s Unsatisfying Ending
Gilmore Girls season 7 was universally reviled by the present’s fandom, so when Netflix launched a restricted revival sequence, Gilmore Ladies: A 12 months within the Life, in 2016, it was trigger for celebration. Nonetheless, that pleasure rapidly curdled.
From tasteless fatphobic jokes to Luke and Lorelai’s nonsensical storyline, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was full of big problems, however none worse than the precise ending. Within the revival’s remaining moments, Rory tells Lorelai that she’s pregnant. Then, the credit roll, and identical to that, the story of those beloved characters that we have been following for years is now over.
Virtually each Gilmore Ladies forged member collaborating in Trying to find Stars Hole was within the revival, and even those that weren’t are clearly passionate sufficient concerning the present to be concerned within the documentary. They and the creatives are certain to have opinions about it, whether or not it is how they really feel concerning the ending, perception into what was supposed, or response to fan backlash.
Why Gilmore Ladies Deserves A Higher Conclusion
There is a motive why Gilmore Ladies is a show you can’t watch just once, and followers preserve coming again to the quaint city of Stars Hole, and that is as a result of it is one of the crucial comforting, cozy sequence of all time. It is the right mix of fast-talking whimsy and critical, relatable subjects, and we all know that it doesn’t matter what, Lorelai and Rory might be okay as a result of they’ve one another.
That is what makes the choice to finish the revival on a cliffhanger so questionable. Positive, speculating concerning the theories surrounding the father of Rory’s baby could be enjoyable, and can virtually certainly be addressed in Trying to find Stars Hole, however we do not need to surprise about what turned of our Gilmore ladies — we need to know that they lived fortunately ever after.
The ending is very upsetting given Rory’s vastly unpopular A 12 months within the Life storyline. As soon as a passionate rising journalist stuffed with promise, the revival sees Rory floundering, broke, and unemployed. She makes one immature determination after one other that the teenage model of her in Gilmore Girls‘ superior early seasons by no means would.
Given what number of followers rewatch Gilmore Ladies, it is truthful to say that A 12 months within the Life‘s ending did not completely break the franchise and all the great that got here earlier than it. However that good deserves to be honored with a conclusion worthy of those iconic characters.
Looking For Stars Hole May Give Clues About Gilmore Ladies’ Future
With the forged all having been keen to come back again for one revival and A 12 months within the Life ending on a cliffhanger, naturally, hypothesis over a possible Gilmore Ladies season 9 has been rampant. It is also encouraging that sequence creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and stars like Lauren Graham have mentioned that they would return for more Gilmore Girls.
Whereas neither Sherman-Palladino nor Graham has been introduced to participate within the upcoming documentary, we may nonetheless get some perception into whether or not conversations about Gilmore Girls season 9 have taken place. If a supporting actor from the present mentions being approached, or perhaps a willingness to come back again, that could possibly be an excellent signal.
Gilmore Ladies has been a popular culture touchstone for nearly 25 years. Whether or not it is Scott Patterson’s I Am All In rewatch podcast or Looking For Stars Hole, love for the sequence is not going anyplace — neither is the glimmer of hope that there is nonetheless extra to come back.
