    The judge that trialed Rory in season 6 was a straight up QUEEN. I was so happy to see Rory finally being put in place and not protected again by her spoiling grandparents. May all judges be a bit more like her and we’ll have less spoiled rich kids to deal with

    Can we talk about how lane didn't get the ending she deserved? She was thrown an absolute curveball with her pregnancy, and it was very out of character. I wished we would've gotten to see her pursue her dreams for a longer time, or just her married life. She deserved a happier ending that was more fitting for her character. I wished they showed something that was more Lane, full of spunk and life. Her ending was just there to tie up loose ends, and she deserved better.
  • I love how that situation with Jess in the party was addressed. People hardly ever mention that, and that was straight up wrong. He should never have done that. To me, that moment was the single most awful thing he did throughout the show. Still, I'm glad to see his character development in the later seasons.
  • Luke and Anna’s custody battle was so real! There are plenty of mothers out there that use their children as pawns to get their way and it’s sad and disgusting
  • As much as this show did tackle serious issues, it’s very much a feel-good show. My mom and I watched it together and we LOVED it. ❤️❤️❤️
  • @kamillagirl
    I'm still shocked that Emily and Richard SUPPORTED Rory through the whole drop out thing. Like, what?!
  • @eb7446
    Anna Nardini was a terrible person. She kept her child away from her father for no good reason, and wasn't even at all sorry about it. Like, we'd all kill to have Luke as our dad,band she thought "nah". She just wanted April to herself. Toxic.
  • I definitely was surprised that rory would sleep with dean who's a married man at this point lorelai was so right to be angry at rory
  • @emilyzahora3330
    I hate the season when Rory sleeps with Dean. I could never get past that point, other than an episode here or there, because I absolutely hate cheating storylines.
  • Can we get a spin-off for lane? She’s the most awesome character, the relationship with her mom also resonates with a lot of girls including me.
  • I was shocked that lanes mother just throws her out all because her daughter wanted to persue her own dreams
  • @sab3295
    I always hated that whenever I watched it…. I felt luke shouldn’t be punished for Anna’s clearly wrong decision. It is HIS daughter that she never told him about.
  • @jiyabedi1731
    This is such a good show it actually depicts things that are relevant to not just teens but adults as well which is actually relevant unlike some shows
  • @ewwhoisshe
    Watching this way after it was uploaded but Jess being abandoned by his father and neglected by his mother should’ve been mentioned
  • Any time I remember that episode where Richard has a heart attack, I get sad because he did end up going before Emily. I can't imagine how devastating Emily's initial reaction to his death.
  • I like that life didn't turn out "perfect" as Rory thought it would in 'A Year in the Life' coz now she might be able to reflect of the privilege that she's had growing up and might be able to channel that realistically in the book she decides to write.
  • I'm surprised Chris wasn't mentioned on this list. Estrangement from a child is horrible and Chris exemplifies this over and over.
  • @joep661
    lmao emily wearing a t-shirt and jeans in the scene where everything is getting moved out is horrifying and hilarious at the same time
  • I really enjoyed seeing lorelei and Emily in family therapy trying to work on their relationship
