It’s that time of year - leaves are beginning to fall and you’re unearthing the “Rory sweater” from the depths of your closet. It’s time to rewatch Gilmore Girls!

Whether you watch it every fall, or you’re constant loopers like us, Gilmore Girls is a show that begs to be rewatched over and over. 

Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine delve into the benefits of rewatching and lessons learned from multiple viewings. 

Which characters would constantly rewatch like us? Which ones would watch it once a year? 

Most importantly, we reveal ways that our Gilmore opinions have changed over the years - especially when it comes to Christopher as a dad, Dean as a boyfriend, and who we relate to now that we’re in our 40s.  

Episodes mentioned:

Emily in Stars Hollow

Taylor Doose: Friend or Foe?

Rory and Dean: the early romance

Why are  the women of Gilmore Girls often the ones holding everything (and everyone) together? In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine - who are also moms and feminists - explore the idea of emotional labor: the behind-the-scenes effort it takes to manage feelings, smooth over conflicts, and keep relationships running.

We’ll talk about how this shows up on the show - whether it’s Emily’s role as corporate wife, Lorelai protecting Christopher from shame, or Rory juggling expectations—and how it connects to terms like the mental load, cognitive load, and invisible work (don’t worry, we’ll explain the differences!)

From planning social events to supporting men to have healthy, quality relationships, the women of Stars Hollow are constantly doing the emotional heavy lifting - and we’re digging into why that matters.

Lane Kim is one of the Gilmore Girls fandom’s all-time favorite characters! Brilliantly played by Keiko Agena, Lane Kim had a strict, rules-based upbringing plus a burning passion for rock music and playing drums. 

In today’s episode of Gabbing Gilmore, we dig into the repression of Lane Kim. How did growing up in a strict environment impact Lane’s personality? How did Mrs. Kim influence her values? When was she willing to stray from being the obedient daughter?
