at this point, not many people are surprised by my
extreme (& almost obsessive), alright, alright, obsessive love for the little town of stars hollow & all of their fascinating, diverse residents. but its no secret.
now that i can access them on netflix (getting my monies worth there!) i've watched it continuously more times that i can count, but there's no shame in my gg game. & with the reboot only a few months away (november 25! get your couches ready), i feel like i can breathe a sigh of relief & maybe, just maybe, gg will reboot on a good note... one that ASP would be proud of & not that crappy season 7 that i have lived through many, many times, only wishing for a different ending.. also with this reboot, i feel like its a good time to share some of the reasons why gg has such a special place in my heart.. & why i keep going back for more.
1. stars hollow always has a way of making me love & wish for year round fall & winter seasons. everytime i watch gg, i find myself yearning for autumn & leaves & leggings & warm cups of coffee & scarves & well you get the idea. does anyone else ever watch something & it illicit a feeling of a season? or is it just me? maybe its just Connecticut. and the snow. oh the snow. "i smell snow." can texas for once just get a really good real snow? i'm just saying. then i'll get all gilmore-y & talk about smelling snow & snuggling up & watch movies, because we know a horse drawn sleigh isnt going to happen.
2. small town life. that is all. i've always lived in a big city, where you're lucky if you know, let alone talk to your neighbors. but stars hollow is different. from miss patty to kirk to babette, everyone knows each other. & watches out for one another. while many think privacy would be non existent in a city like that, its okay with me. i would happily manage. the ability to walk to the store or the diner always appeals to me. theres also something about the thanksgiving episode where the girls are buying flowers from the market off the sidewalk. like seriously, i need that i my life.
3. luke's diner. i think this may be a top reason for many people that desire small time life. a tried & true diner. somewhere where you know the guy or gal who runs the place & they know you. they know what you like, dont like & things are simple. nothing on the menu thats over the top. & i mean hello, they have a counter. that you can eat at. or a table that looks out onto the sqaure so you dont miss any of the small town encounters. & while we're on food, i'd be totally ok with the soda shoppe too. i mean girl needs her candy. plus a diner who has a danish day is the place for me.
4. those festivals. at some point the series they talk about how many festivals that stars hollows has. was it one per month? something like that anyway. festivals always bring a sense of community and fellowship plus who doesnt love an excuse for a giant turkey leg? one of my favorite episodes "hay bale maze" and particularly because of the festival. and the way that taylor ends up with a huge case of allergies because he was determined to overtake the square with hay. karma, am i right? plus its the turning point for loralei & luke.
like i said above, these are a few reasons why i keep gilmore girls in my "need to watch" queue on netflix. i'll share more reasons why the closer we get to that revival date. whats your reasoning for being "insert favorite tv show here" addict...
