I asked to be, and got spoiled on the Berlin viewing of the first episode.

Waffle is very happy.

Do you want to know more?

Yes, please! I messaged you.

[Deevee45]

I messaged as well! I have NO willpower. 

[junienmomo]

I'm open to messages, and I'll provide a link in PM to someone who was actually there and is answering questions. I didn't get tickets, waaah.

Are these the ones from that Reddit AMA?

Yes. 

[FurryFury]

Well, if anybody finds out if Rory ends up with Logan, just PM me and tell me not to watch, because I seriously dislike him and I'm depressed enough lately already. I don't care about Luke and Lorelai enough for me to overcome my dislike for Rory/Logan.

[PRgal]

Those of us from Toronto might find this funny (though a bit inaccurate.  Emily/Richard are old money and thus more Rosedale types than Forest Hill (where Drake is from!), stereotypically speaking).  And Rory would have gone to Queen's, McGill or Western (basically wherever Richard went) for undergrad.  As for Chilton?  The equivalents I can think of are all single-sex and there are four to pick from. :)

Havergal, Bishop Strachan, Branksome Hall, and St. Clement's School?

Rory wouldn't have gone to Ryerson. I know in the States McGill is considered the "Harvard" of the North, and it's not that far from Toronto.

I considered having a reception at the Steam Whistle Brewery, so the part about Luke and Lorelai getting married there made me laugh.

[Viqutorious]

I have hope since I'm not a fan of Luke and Lorelai as a couple.

"Luke Danes himself was "quite perturbed" by the series' final words."  Clarification; Scott Patterson the actor is perturbed, not the character Luke Danes.

LOL, the TVLine version of that same interview (video of Scott saying it), emphasizes the sarcasm/joke.

If you read the article the next paragraph begins with "On a more serious note..."

Yep (on the girls-only schools).  And Rory?  Original target = McGill, but ends up at Queen's (Cha Gheill!!!!!) - heh.  I somehow can't see Richard being a Western alum.  Okay, maybe from Huron.  

Let's get back to our regularly scheduled program, shall we?

Yep. It was totally tongue in cheek. Scott joked that he gave Amy a list of ten different 4 word possibilities and she didn't use any of them. LOL.

[Kohola3]

I wonder if one of his suggestions was "I want a divorce".

[Lady Calypso]

I feel like I want to watch either the Top 10 Important Gilmore Girls Episodes before the Revival or the Top 10 Best GG Episodes. But I'm having a tough time deciding. I want to start tomorrow and then watch one a day until the 24th, just before the revival.

Maybe I can get some suggestions/help here? First off, Best episodes or Important episodes? Which ones? Because knowing me, I'll just watch all the ones with Jess and I'd like to try to me more diverse with my selection.

[Kohola3]

Well, there are some differing opinions but here are some options.  Not mine, mind you. I have my own leanings.

Best 19.

Best 15.

Another best 15.

Thanks, PRgal. I can totally picture Rory at McGill. My partner went to Western, I spent many road trips going back and forth to see him back in the day. It doesn't scream Richard Gilmore to me, too liberal artsy. Maybe they have a serious econ section that I missed. lol

Lady Calypso, I would choose a few favourites from each season but that reflects my choice to relive the happy times & ignore the rest. Some of the most important episodes aren't feel good eps but are important in te grand scheme of things. 

[Viqutorious]

Crud, I was hoping he was really unhappy with the ending! Oh well.

A Canadian Richard would have gone to Queen's, most likely (and Queen's/McGill used to be football rivals - back when the eastern Ontario schools played in a Quebec league (for football only).  We even had a game called Kill McGill).

Let's not post a synopsis in this thread. Thanks!

If you're open to people PMing you, let it be known. ;)

Is there anywhere that we could talk about the spoilers?

[Deevee45]

So... someone who saw the first episode posted in Reddit. Can we link to that? People can choose to view or not. 

[Thundercatmary]

I would think this is the place to talk about it.

Michael Ausiello has seen all four episodes and says we won't be disappointed. He has a review, with some minor spoilers: Ausiello review.

He also did a live Facebook thing at 3:30 this morning: Ausiello FB Live.

[wonderwoman]

No spoilers, but this seemed like the right place.

alan sepinwall's take

I loved this review! It felt real. He didn't pull punches on things that we would have also criticized had they happened in the original series. He also identified moments of awkward writing or acting (I noticed one in one of the trailers myself).

He also pointed out some wonderful and brilliant moments. 

[junienmomo]

Variety review - also a good, balanced review.

A non-spoilerish quote that warmed my jj heart:

Quote

Like Graham and Bishop, Patterson knocks his monologues out of the park. The terse Luke gets fewer big moments, but the way he has always lovingly and exasperatedly held his own with Lorelai has always been one of the show’s chief draws.

Yikes, the toupee looks like someone drew it on with a sharpee! I sincerely hope it doesn't look like that in any of his scenes.

LOL, that's certainly one of the bad ones. Looks like it was there for the EW shoot only. I hope.

Hair is such a problem for actors and actresses. I remember Lorelai and her bald spot that made it on camera. It was apparently due to bad hair extensions or chemicals.

This article seems like it spoils who or what Rory's endgame is:

[cuddlingcrowley]

I really liked the new trailer better! Felt more like "Gilmore Girls" somehow. 

Oh man, I really don't want to see spoilers and I seem to find myself dodging them all over the place this past week. Tumblr is a minefield!

I so want to read the spoilers just to know, but at the same time I want to stay surprised.

But I'm so afraid of stumbling upon spoilers that I don't want to see. I am so impatient!

That makes sense. I really couldn't picture Richard at Western, though they do have a business school (as my partner reminded me last night).

None of the reviews are really spoilery.

I wouldn't go quite that far.  One big question was certainly answered. I'm staying away from everything from now on.

Which big question? I read all the reviews and didn't see anything major.

Unfortunately, I think it may be his own piece.  He has a unflattering one for his profile picture on twitter too.

Which episode showed a bald spot on Lorelai?  I never noticed.

Married, yes or no.

Oh okay.  Thanks. The answer for that came out a month or so ago( or earlier?), so I guess it didn't register with me as new info.

Gotcha.  New to me as I have been studiously avoiding anything.

[Kohola3]

Well, the title is Spoilers and Speculation so I am assuming spoilers are permitted. However, I would use the spoiler functions just to be safe.

Let me check with @deaja to be certain. Please stand by... :-)
