I was late to Gilmore Girls, not diving in until my
final year of university in 2013. It was perfect timing. I was stressed and
flailing, but I had the time to binge all seven seasons way too quickly. I fell
head over heels with Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Jess, Sookie and Stars Hollow. I
immediately introduced my little sister and she became obsessed too. We’ve both
watch it right through a good two or three times since then.
These characters are firmly wedged in my heart
now, and none more so that Lorelai.
To celebrate the release of
Lauren Graham’s memoir Talking as Fast as
I Can, I’m sharing my favourite Lorelai moment. And there were so many to
choose from. I fell into a black hole of reading articles sharing the best Gilmore Girls moments, BUT I eventually
decided on my moment.
When Lorelai and Rory are
reunited in season six after not speaking for months, it’s a total sob moment. Go
on, re-live it.
Perfect.
It’s such a true reflection of
both of their characters and their relationship that even after such a huge
fight a single phone call gets them back together again. That when Rory got
good news she wanted to tell her mum. It makes me a bit teary even thinking
about it.
“I
love you, Mom.”
“You
have no idea, kid.”
‘Talking as Fast
as I Can’ by Lauren Graham is released on December 6th from Virago.
