7 Gilmore Girls Watch Party Must Haves.
by Emery W.
SEVEN MORE DAYS!!!!
Alright guys, we are officially seven days away from Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m not able to contain my excitement any more.
Now, if you haven’t been following the watch schedule I came up with last month, mic.com has a great list of the most important episodes to watch before the revival. Catch up on said episodes, then come November 25, make sure you have these seven must-haves for your GG watch party.
1. Vicious Trollop
You can’t start a revival party without looking the part. One of my favorite episodes is when Lorelai and Emily spend a mother-daughter weekend together, and eventually bond over their love of Vicious Trollop; a perfect pink lip shade. Not only can you find the product online (which I urge everyone to do), but if you don’t have time to get it, just wear your favorite pinkish-red color. When you do, tag us on Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat with the tag #OTEViciousTrollop. We’ll repost our favorite ones!
2. Coffee
You don’t have to watch every episode of Gilmore Girls to know that our favorite mother-daughter pair are the epitome of coffee addicts. Make a pot (or 10), and drink up!
3. Food
Lorelai and Rory are the kind of women that every other woman hates; they eat every that’s considered wrong yet their bodies always look right! I suggest for this night only to binge Gilmore Girls style. Order a pizza, Chinese, buy some Pop Tarts, marshmallows, Red Vines, and anything else that makes you want to vomit. Even add an apple in there for good measure.
4. Team Swag
The one thing everyone is talking about is which of Rory’s old flames she’ll inevitably end up with. In my opinion, I don’t think she’ll end up with any of them because she’s a fierce woman in her own right. However, if my greatest dreams were to come true, Team Jess will prevail. For the occasion get creative, and show us your best take on your team’s swag. Sport a leather jacket if you love Dean, wear your favorite band tee in homage to Jess, or have an umbrella handy if you’re a Logan lover. Use the tag #OTETeam, and show us who your favorite guy for Rory is. Extra points of you can make good use of our favorite underdog, Marty.
5. The Rory
Who remembers the posh 21st birthday party Emily threw for Rory in season 6? I know I do, and I’ve always wanted to try Rory’s signature drink, The Rory. The characters on the show don’t think too highly of it, but it’s up to you to make your own opinion. I won’t give you the recipe. You’ll have to watch the episode yourself to get it.
6. Your Favorite Book
Rory is the ultimate book worm. You’ll remember in season 2 when she and Lorelai take an impromptu trip to Harvard, and Rory freaks out over not having read enough books in her 16 years of life. Make sure you have your favorite page-turner with you. You get major props if it’s a Proust.
7. Kleenex
The feels that this revival are already more than I can handle so Kleenex will undoubtedly be required for this four-episode extravaganza. Make sure you’re stocked up.
We here at On The Edge will be live-watching the revival the moment it releases on Netflix next Friday, and we want you to join us and me this an interactive experience. Get your revival items, log onto and follow us on all our social media accounts, and live this tale with us.
The Ultimate Gilmore Girls Watch Party Schedule.
By. Emery W.
Where you lead, I will follow…. STRAIGHT TO NETFLIX.
Anyone else out there a massive Gilmore Girls fan? If you’re not, you should be and soon! Netflix is releasing a four-episode special of the popular CW show entitled, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on November 25th. In preparation for such a momentous occasion, I’ve decided to re-watch the entire series in 34 days. That’s right; 7 season, 153 episodes, in 34 days.
If you’re like me, and have a full-time job, semi-regular workout routine, and somewhat of a social life, this is a rigorous binge-watching challenge, but totally worth the time. The best part about it is, it’s all on Netflix so I can watch while I’m on the treadmill.
Of course, you don’t have to follow this exact schedule. This happens to be fixed to my regular functioning hours, but if you have more time, more power to you to watch. Plus if you’re an insomniac, you can watch through the night, and pull a classic GG move, and load up on coffee the next day. It’s your choice.
*Each episode is approximately 45 minutes long (give or take) which is where my time line came from.
Beginning Friday, October 21st:
- 8 PM – 11 PM Season 1, Episodes 1-4
Saturday, October 22nd:
- 10 AM – 11:30 AM; Episodes 5 and 6
- 8 PM – 11 PM: Episodes 7-10
Sunday, October 23rd:
- 9 AM – 12 PM; Episodes 11-14
- 3 PM – 4:30 PM; Episodes 15 and 16
For the following six weeks, the schedule will go as follows:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday; 7 PM – 10 PM (4 episodes)
Wednesday*; 6:45 PM – 9 PM (3 episodes)
Friday; 8 PM – 11PM (4 episodes)
Saturday; 10 AM – 11:30 AM/2 PM – 5 PM (6 episodes)
Sunday; 9 AM – 12 PM/3 PM – 4:30 PM (6 episodes)
*Wednesdays are carved out this way so that I can still have my American Horror Story fix.
You see? There’s plenty of time for lunch breaks, Sunday football, and a weekend social life if you so choose to have one. If you follow this schedule, the last episode of season seven would be watched on Thursday, November 24th. One day before the new episodes are released.
Sound complicated? Don’t worry. Like I said, it’s not a must that this schedule be followed to a T. Watch at your own pace. But I do highly suggest watching the series because I’ve got a feeling, these new episodes are going to be great.
