It was the year 2000 when two fast-talking, food-scarfing, coffee-chugging brunettes entered my life. They were Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, a quirky mother and daughter navigating through life, relationships and a small town of sweet but wacky characters.
They were the Gilmore Girls, whose stories I followed each week on, you guessed it, Gilmore Girls.
Gilmore Girls was a regular part of my life for seven years. I was close to Rory’s age when the show first aired. So, I grew up when she grew up.
Now that I am the same age as Lorelai in Season 1, I am seeing the show from a different perspective. I like to refer to this perspective as my “adult eyes.”
And with these new “adult eyes,” five things stood out to me in my recent rewatch of Gilmore Girls.
