Pam Poovey January 2, 2017 Share January 2, 2017 If there's another season of the revival, all we need to confirm the theory is a scene where Rory is showing her manuscript to her editor Jess, and he says something like, "Hmm it's really good, I mean it's excellent, but I think it would be more effective if you started the story when you got accepted into Chilton. In media res and all that jazz, huh? You can fill in the back story bit by bit as you go along". It would explain why there is very little in GG about Lorelei's early struggles, or even the conflict with her parents when she and Rory lived with them. Rory would want to be sensitive to her mother and grandmother (and her grandfather's memory). Of course, those early struggles are exactly what readers would want to learn about and understand, so it does seem to make the book even harder to sell. I guess you could handwave it as those darned TV executives messing around with Rory's creative vision. Like Wild, the book is more authentic than the TV show we watched ... 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7187-gilmore-girls-in-the-media/page/14/#findComment-2869628

hippielamb January 2, 2017 Share January 2, 2017 It's a little funny and some of their criticisms I don't take seriously. I think we're supposed to see the series and revival as a whole. It's an interesting theory, and made me think. Especially since so many people are critical of the girls closeness and don't think it's real. (How many of those people are familiar with the dynamics of a teen/young something parent with a child remains to be seen. Because I know several parents who had their kids young and it can result in a different parental relationship.) 10 hours ago, shron17 said: This theory actually makes a lot of sense to me in terms of both the original series and the revival.

amensisterfriend January 3, 2017 Share January 3, 2017 (edited) I agree that the theory about the idyllic aspects of GG being a product of Rory's fiction---um, that is, carefully crafted autobiography---was mostly in jest, but I find it really fascinating! The revival had a few of us questioning whether these characters had always been unlikable, whether AS-P's underlying themes and messages were always more bitter and cynical than some of us initially believed, etc. It kind of blew my weird little mind to think about some of the more over-the-top twee, cutesy, perfect, adorably quirky etc. aspects of the show being Rory's deliberately glossed over version of a grimmer reality. What if they really DID struggle financially? What if they were often mocked by the town rather than so revered by it? What if most of their male romantic interests actually ran from Lorelai and Rory soon after getting to know them instead of all staying hung up on the GGs for approximately forever? Many of us cling to a few happiness-preserving, ego-maintaining delusions, right?! And many of us look back on things as we need and want to see them rather than as they actually were. What if aspects of the series really did represent Rory and Lorelai's need to see themselves and their lives as better and happier than they ever actually were?! Again, I know that wasn't AS-P's intention, and I know the likelihood of the theory proposed in that video being valid are tantamount to the odds of me keeping my resolution to consume less caffeine (i.e., somewhere around .00001%), but I find it a really interesting take on some of the discrepancies that nagged at a few of us throughout the series. Mostly I just want a few of the talented fanfic writers here to explore the possible gap between Rory and Lorelai's version of themselves and the lives they led vs. the possible reality :) Edited January 3, 2017 by amensisterfriend 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7187-gilmore-girls-in-the-media/page/14/#findComment-2871908
Taryn74 January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 It is an interesting theory, and as long as it remains just a theory I could really enjoy exploring it. But if it ever becomes canon? I will revolt. It still pisses me off that that's the route they went with on Roseanne. Although if everything was accurate for the most part and it ended up it was just 'as seen through Rory's eyes' I would be okay with that, I guess. Shoot, I've even commented before that I wonder if the perceived discrepancies in some of the characters, is because we're supposed to be seeing them through the eyes of a Gilmore. Most notably, the way some fans feel Dean changed between S1 and S2 - it would make sense that he went from being Perfect!Cute!Dean to being just another guy with issues controlling his anger and jealousy, if we were supposed to be seeing him through Rory's eyes. As she became more disenchanted with him, so did we. Cripes. Maybe Jess really was the hell-raising hoodlum the town thought he was, and it was just Rory's perception that he wasn't all that bad, so that became our perception. I think I need to go lie down. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7187-gilmore-girls-in-the-media/page/14/#findComment-2874847

Did she try to make Logan more sympathetic than he really was, since he is (probably) her child's father, and a possible source of its financial support? Did Jess really get it together so well in later life, or is she painting her editor in flattering colours?

(Although Rory was pretty clear that she thought he was a great guy even when she was dating Jess.) It makes you think. Every love interest for the girls falls under this a bit.

I just can't go into another revival hoping anything will get concluded when chances are it will only get worse. (Luke and Lorelai split up again?

She can say all she wants that she and Daniel need to step back from Gilmore Girls or whatever her excuse is, but she's probably thrilled that there's talks for a season 2 and that it could very well happen. Totally agree with this. When I saw the story about the talks for another season, my first thought was "Meh." There were aspects of the revival I liked, a lot I didn't, and I was okay with it ending where it did. That being said, I'll watch it if it happens, but I won't hold out much hope for being happy with it.

msani19 March 6, 2017 Share March 6, 2017 Based on how the revival ended, ASP/DP were angling to do additional episodes and were keeping their fingers crossed that it would be received well enough for them to push for those additional episodes. I wasn't pleased either with the story they told, I'd most likely watch whatever the new episodes will be just because I've invested far too much of my life into GG to walk away now! I'm not optimistic on what we will get as far a story. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7187-gilmore-girls-in-the-media/page/14/#findComment-3052007

I'm basically in for the long haul, but in particular I have little trust that ASP can write a pregnancy/new parenthood storyline that isn't a joke. I said to my husband, I expect ASP to top herself with a second season and double the musical numbers/ dream sequences. With the crowning achievement being a dream musical sequence in the delivery room, complete with Lorelai and the medical staff soft-shoeing it, Luke getting a waiting room solo, Rory in her designer hospital gown sleepwalking through the whole birth, and Logan, Paul and the Wookie as the possible daddy Greek Chorus. The climax will be Kirk dressed as the stork, flying in with plastic doll baby Gilmore. Crap, I hope I didn't give ASP&co ideas lol.

Is it bad that I picture Lorelai taking care of the baby with Luke while Rory is off, gallivanting in London, trying to win Logan back while fumbling with finding a new job away from Stars Hollow? I highly doubt ASP can write a story around a baby. She couldn't do it with Gigi, with Sookie's two kids, or with Doula. Hell, they couldn't do it with April, and she was a thirteen year old girl. The babies were just props for whatever was going on in the scenes that they were in. I can't very well see Baby Gilmore being in many scenes especially with Rory, since she'll most likely being doing fifty book tours and traveling to London to deal with Logan Huntzberger drama. But this discussion is best left for another thread, so I'll leave my fears/speculation at that. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7187-gilmore-girls-in-the-media/page/14/#findComment-3052110
FictionLover March 6, 2017 Share March 6, 2017 (edited) Netflix is considering it because of it's high ratings. There is no way another series will get them the same viewers that the first one did. Too many disappointed viewers not to mention the hype of GG coming back after 9 years. Hopefully they will conduct a marketing survey first.
