At this point, what is comforting for me is to read Gilmore Women (however long it lasts), not watch GG. Thank you both for all of the thought and energy you’ve brought to these newsletters.
By the way, what brought me to GG originally was my appreciation of Sam Phillips’ music. I watched the whole series in part so I could see Phillips and Gorfain audition to be the new town troubadours.
Of fucking course there was a reference to Tr*mp- we heard a reference on Newhart about a month ago- it didn’t feel so horrifying then, my husband wanted to relive memories of watching it with his dad as a kid.
At least Christopher is on the way out. I like “Farewell my Pet” and I’ve always had a soft spot for “My Heart Will Go On” especially the acoustic version played on the show.
Gilmore Girls has been a favorite for a long time, but I haven’t watched it at all this year and maybe the lack of comfort is the reason. I have definitely changed a lot since I was watching it for the first time in 7th grade with my mom and sister. I’ve been debating if I should watch “Forgiveness and Stuff” as the holidays approach and I still don’t know if I will.
I told my therapist the results of the election just felt like justification of all my catastrophizing.
Forgiveness and Stuff is still a sweet episode I think. It's hard to know but sometimes the best episodes still provide comfort in different ways I suppose. Now I even find the early seasons tough sometimes because I simply don't want to remember that Dean exists. It's a tough time. Stay strong, and thanks for reading as always <3
I recently cried watching “Farewell My Pet.” That acoustic version really hits me in the feels. And I did love Lorelai’s conversation with Christopher. It felt very true to her character to admit that she wanted him to be the man she wanted to be with, but ultimately it just wasn’t right.
Strangely enough I found it comforting to watch “Fall” from the revival this fall. Something about Luke and Lorelai’s struggle felt very familiar to me, and Rory wanting to write her story when all I like to do is tell my stories to others felt like something that was really resonating. I know people keep saying they don’t like the revival, but I really did love Fall (if you skip the Life and Death Brigade nonsense).

Oh this is so lovely to read. YES to Sam Phillips. The Gilmore soundtrack is truly still a revelation!!!
My sister and I loved Sam Phillips! “If I Could Write” was my favorite song on the series.
That song was on repeat for years for me! I loved “If I Could Write.”
