Emily Gilmore's Upbringing (Unhinged Theory)
Вставка

- This video is not to be taken seriously. In this video, I discuss one theory on Emily Gilmore's background, as we don't learn that much about her past. I do like this character, while also recognizing that this character has a multitude of flaws. Many Gilmore Girls characters are flawed but that is what makes them so compelling.
I have been hesitant to post this video to be honest. If it is bothersome, please let me know.
It's weird that the show never revealed that much about Emily past
It makes me wonder what secrets ASP has under her hat for all the characters!
Angela! I actually had a section where I said that I dedicate this video to you since you asked about Emily, but I acknowledged that this is not the kind of video you were looking for. I took it out at the last minute because I wasn't sure if you would feel comfortable being mentioned (given how absurd this video is).
@@PensiveWhiskers it would had been okay if you had mentioned me but I understand why you cut out my name
Yeah it is really odd , they revealed a lot of richard’s past and youth but never emily!!
Yeah, I think there were many hints at her wealthy background. She mentions she was born and raised to be a wife to Lorelei. She also reminisced about her pearl lined birthday invitations to Rory. And to join the DAR you need to provide hard proof of your family tree and children from unmarried relationships don’t count (yeah that’s a whole other conversation lol). Her family was def established. I think Trixie was just partial to Penelope probably because her family was closer to the Gilmore line.
I agree. I don’t see any evidence of her being from a poor or even middle class background.
Yes. I hold this view as well. Possibly the show never introduce her story because it never caused intrigue or had any of the stress or abuse the other relationships provided. She was probably just happy to go along, or at least not question anything that was taught while growing up. I think Trix would have mentioned a loooooot and humiliated her if she had not come from a wealthy family. She would have said something like “ of course, I didn’t expected someone coming from middle class to know what time supper is served” and so on during the many times she criticised Emily.
no way Richard would marry outside his class, i think she was richer the Richard.
Plus didn't Emily attend Smith College ? whch i image was just as expensive in the 1960s as it is currently.
My reason why Richard’s mom didn’t like Emily because she was new money not old money
"My great-uncle founded this hospital... his portrait is hanging in the lobby. Go look! It's right above the sign that says FOUNDER"
~ Emily.
Season 1 episode 10
I think you've just pointed out the strongest evidence that shoots this theory down.
Honestly, had I not been so intrigued by your theory, I would have missed Emily's rant. I'm dying for more unhinged theories. This was fun!@@PensiveWhiskers
Also, to be in the DAR, you need to prove that you are actually a daugher of someone on the revolution, or a grandaugher. So her family has to be american.
@@PensiveWhiskers I don’t know, she could’ve been talking about her great uncle on Richard side
Yes!
A hidden sister in France? No. Eta: thank you to everyone who pointed out my error. I went back and rewatched the scene. So many questioms about Hope now!
We learned about her mother sighing that she wanted real pearls to line her 21st birthday invitations but got them for her anyway. You can’t join the DAR without documented proof that you’re a direct relative of a revolutionary war patriot.
Emily comes from money, but to Trix treats her how Shira Huntsberger treats Rory. “Not good enough” for whatever shallow, ridiculous reasons.
I only remember she wrote or something and Richard said Hope was the family's expatriate, never to be brought up again
i agree, however they do mention that she has a sister in france. she’s called hope. they stumble upon her picture while looking through a photo album
@@loveIetter I have no memory of this! Do you know which episode? I have to go back and watch. That’s so strange!
@@bageluserky it’s the episode when there’s a snowstorm and rory is stuck in hartford with the grandparents, it’s in the first season
Well, there's new money and there's old money. Trix might not have thought Emily was good enough because she doesn't come from 'old money' like the Gilmores.
It is possible for Emily to have family with money/revolutionary war ties without it actually being her, or her immediate family's, money. Think Lorelai.
And if you're saying Emily doesn't have a sister named Hope who lives in France...she 100% does.
I think she’s from money because etiquette is so natural to her
I agree, I definitely think that's one of the major holes in my whacky theory.
@@PensiveWhiskersI think she's from money too, reminds me of the episode when Rory turned 21 and they were planning the birthday party and picking out invitations. Emily mentioned that the invitations were expensive with pearls on them?
Hi Samantha! While I do think there are signs that Emily comes from money, the way I would explain away Emily's comment about her 21st birthday party is that Emily's family already had money at that point. Under this wacky theory, Emily's parents became wealthy when she was a teenager, something like 14-15, so that she had the money to have expensive things and afford college when she was young. Totally not shooting down your comment! I do think you are right. I just really wanted to do something creative with a video.
@PensiveWhiskers ooo yeah that makes sense too! Love your videos, Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows :) can't wait to see your next video, kirk would be a fun one!
Hey, we're here because we love stories, characters, fiction. I find your theory very compelling. In the episode where Trix dies, I think we get a glimpse of the repressed, real Emily. Lorelai exclaims, "Who the hell are you??" Emily is reading a book about a prostitute who rises through the ranks of society and I've never seen her so genuinely excited by something. I think this origin story is a great explanation of why Trix looks down on her so much. I'm going to enjoy viewing Emily through this lens from now on. Nice work!
Thank you! ❤I know it's definitely out there and I don't take it too seriously. There were so many wacky Gilmore Girls theories on Reddit and I was tempted to add my own into the mix.
Emily is at least from an upper middle class family, and her saying "I was always going to be a wife" is not her wish it's that it didn't even occur to her to do anything else, it was what was expected of her.
It's a funny little head cannon but it doesn't really work.
Yeah, it's hard to disagree with you. The scene that I think of that I think really shoots down this theory is when Lorelai and Emily are at the computer and Emily is so impressed with Lorelai for the fact that she is like a kayak, she can row herself, and Emily always felt like a canoe; she always needed someone else to row with her (I think this was the episode where Richard has his second heart attack).
@@PensiveWhiskers yes. But I really like your videos.
I don't think it is fair to definitively say she grew up in an upper middle class family since we have so little to go off of.
"I was always going to be a wife" could have also been a rare moment of self-awareness for Emily, where she acknowledges the most contrasting difference between her and Lorelai. Her life-long desire for that particular lifestyle and Lorelai's hard-fought battle against it. She could have been stating exactly what she wanted out of life. It could have been what was expected of her or just something she had always longed for.
@@PensiveWhiskers Let's be real, she's impressed for like a second, then goes right back to being icy, cold toward her in their next scene together.
I know we are grasping at straws due to the lack of details, but I never got the feeling that Emily was forced or expected to live the lifestyle she lived. I just don't. I think being a 'kayak' seems really appealing to Emily at times, but deep down, she knows that she is a 'canoe'. To harken back to a line Lorelai says in season 1, "it's just how she (Emily) was born", regardless of her upbringing.
@@kissame104 That's also a good point, some people are just born as canoes.
In Forgiveness and Stuff Emily is yelling at the Nurse and says, "My great uncle founded this hospital, you insipid paper peddler. His portrait is hanging in the lobby, go look! It's right above the sign that says FOUNDER! My personal HC is that she came from a well off Jewish family and Trix was prejudiced because of that.
I don't think she grew up poor to be honest, from what we heard about her childhood, she was able to get all sorts of pretty things, she also doesn't talk like someone who fully understands poverty. I agree with you though that she kind of seems like a social climber. Maybe she's new money and is so rigid about social customs and etticett, because she always felt like a outcast and "low class" compared to her old money peers.
From my understanding (and I might be wrong cause economics was never my strong suit) she must have been born right when things started to recover after the great depression. Especially if her father worked in an industry that would be thriving during times of war as well as peace, her parents could (with a lot of luck) have made it from very much struggling before she was born, to comfortable enough when she was a baby, to rich enough to send her to private school. I could also imagine that her parents were the once who wanted her to marry into old money, because they considered it as a way to secure her wealth and position in society.
I actually never noticed how often she mentions Russia and russian things. I do think it's possible that one of her parents (probably her mother) was from there. You have to show proof that one of your ancestors fought in the revolutionary war to be a member of the DAR, but that could be from her father's side. It would also give her even more of a reason to feel like she has to fit in so desperately.
Also she said her sister in Paris lives there "basically in exile" so I really wonder what happened there.
Thank you for your detailed thoughts! I love hearing other people's ideas about a character's background. Also, thank you for your defense on the DAR point. I should have clarified in my video that Emily joined the DAR using her father's familial history. None of this is real of course, I totally get that. I think your theory is a lot more workable within the context of the show. 🙂
I think your editing and narration are pretty good! I was surprised to see you were a smaller channel actually, you have a good narrator voice. Well I love video essay content so continue on please!!
No way Richard would marry outside his class. I assumed Emily was richer then the Gilmores but perhaps not the wasp kind of rich
I’m so happy I discovered your videos yesterday!! Your editing and narration is stellar, not to mention making videos about what we’ve all wondered and thought about but the show never addressed. I always had a soft spot in my heart for Emily. Sending love ❤️
Thank you! Emily is definitely a fun character. I understand why people don't like her, but I think that's a part of what makes her so interesting. Kelly Bishop really knocked it out of the park.
Interesting theory about Emily being working class and Russian. I don't see it, I think she came from money and she is a WASP.
It’s fine if your videos are a “jumbled mess” as long as you’re putting something out into the world that you love or genuinely care about. That’s why I come to this channel. I can feel that each and every video is made with care and love. They’re not just pumped out asap like contented farms. Keep doing what your doing ❤
Dude, this was not even slightly unhinged and I loved this very much I am so interested by your opinions and I'd love to hear more.
Thank you! 😄There will be more coming for sure! I'll probably intermix my unusual theories with regular video essays.
I don’t care how valid this theory may or may not be, this is a very fun video, love to think of Emily having a hidden Russian past. Thank you for sharing your unhinged theory and can’t wait to see more 😊
Awww thank you! I get the urge to do silly videos sometimes and it really helps knowing that there are others out there who are down with wacky videos.
I feel the same
As do I. I watch many theory videos, and I love them.
I completely think you are able to do videos about main characters!!! I loooove your analysis and I constantly watch these kind of videos online! You became one of my favourites! Watched one of your videos recommended by youtube and suscribed right there! Please give us more GG videos!! ❤
Thank you so much! I have been on a brief hiatus from making videos on this channel because work has been busier, but I am coming back once things slow down. Thank you for watching!
Very questionable. Everything about Emily says “old money”, she grows up in that mindset and never questions it, unable to see any other perspectives. That is until later - in “a year in the life”. That’s when the axioms she always took without question suddenly become shaky and she eventually breaks free of them. That’s her arc, from a traditional “50s wife”, to a free and independent person, who let go expectations and limitations of the society she grew up in.
emily's in the DAR.
One I would love to see the rest of your theories. I find this insanely interesting two Emily Gilmore really has, and always will be a mystery and I like how you put all this together. I liked your evidence. I liked your reasoning I liked it. It was great
Yay! I'll make more. My other big theory is a bit more out there.
@@PensiveWhiskers i’m intrigued now
Your editing and narration are GREAT for such a new channel!!
I love this! What an interesting video 🤩. Your explanation is appropriate and would definitely be plausible!
Your fascinating video makes me wish there was a Gillmore prequel that dives into Emily and Richard’s beginnings
Yes! I've thought about that as well. It would have been really interesting to see how Richard and Emily met and what their adolescent/young adult years were like. It would have given so much depth to their family dynamics and generational trauma.
This is a very fun idea. I don't care if it works with canon or not. I loved hearing your thoughts around the what if's about Emily's past :)
I can see your theory being true and I think Amy told us Emily’s story through Mrs. Kim. Mrs. Kim rebelled against her Buddhist background becoming 7th day Adventist and Lane never knew about that. Going with your theory Emily rebelled against her working class background to become high society and hide her working class background. However, like mother like daughter. ( it also makes me think about the scene with Emily and Mrs.Kim haggling to get the best deal. Emily was probably used to this type of exchange of her family indeed owned a business.)
Oh wow, I love how you tied the theory all together using Mrs. Kim as an example. Very interesting!
Awesome. Emily went to Smith College and majored in history.
Ok you can’t just join the dar you do have to prove your linage. So right there Imma stop you and say…no to Eastern Europe immigrant Theory
Hi! I definitely don't take this theory seriously, so you're totally right. This theory falls through because Emily acts like she was always expected to be a corporate wife. On your point, I had a question. I thought that the DAR didn't require both sides of the family to have lineage back to the American Revolution. Is a person required to prove lineage from both the mother and the father? That's something that I haven't looked into, to be honest. I figured it would be too difficult for most people to prove that both of their parents go all the way back. That's something that would be interesting to learn about.
@@PensiveWhiskers I don’t remember if said only one side of her fam was Eastern European, or both but regardless the organization is competitive. Idk if there is an official rule against only having one line connected to the revolution. But unofficially certainly. There are too many women who have heritage on both sides to allow someone so unconnected in.
The organization is not like the junior league or a country club; one cannot simply apply pay the fee and get in. It has bigger hoops. And bigger snobs.
And if she had gotten into the organization with only one parent, and from working class background….it would have been commented on. Especially by Logan’s fam at the dinner table of hell scene. That would have been a major thing. She wouldn’t have been able to cover up the fact that she came from working class immigrant roots bc the dar asks about both side of the family. Neither can be a mystery. The minute she applied to the organization, everyone would know.
But i do agree that she was not from a fam as prestigious as Richard’s family. And she may not have been from Connecticut. But these organizations are extremely homogenous. Let’s just say this, being and having a German or Irish last name/heritage would almost be; too ethnic for the dar. Let’s just say that.
But idk about the actress playing Emily she might be. But if Emily were afraid of her Russian roots, she would not have suggested “russian winter land” as one of Lorelei’s wedding themes.
@@PensiveWhiskers
In order to join the DAR, you have to have documentation of an ancestor who fought in the American Revolution. A single ancestor is sufficient. However, it has to be a blood relative - in other words, a spouse’s family would not work.
My mom’s family has a long history with the DAR. She had several ancestors who fought in the American Revolution, but the ones that were documented for entry into the DAR all came from her mother’s side of the family. Her mother had a great uncle who was a history professor, and he had researched the family tree and given them the information they needed to join.
It’s untrue that you need more than one ancestor, or that you need ancestors from both your mother’s and father’s lineage. It’s also not frowned upon if the person was an enlisted or general infantry soldier (i.e. “working class”). That may have been true at one time, but those bloodlines are dying out, and many younger people are not interested in organizations such as the DAR; so they will take anybody who presents the proper documentation. Also, many people who have a “working class” ancestor from the 1700’s have risen well above the working class in the intervening 245+ years.
The chapter my mother was in was disbanded due to attrition. The older active members were becoming infirm and / or dying; and the younger members weren’t willing or able to commit to the extensive community service requirements to keep the chapter going, so they surrendered their charter. The chapter could be restarted, but it would require a great deal of work and commitment. I don’t foresee that happening.
If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them. My mom actually prepared my sister’s and my paperwork when she joined, and there is a chapter where I live. I’ve thought about joining a few times - they do some good community service. For example, they help immigrants prepare for the citizenship test and help them to find resources that they need in their communities. It’s not all snobbery, although there is some. The scene in the revival in which Emily keeps saying “Bullsh*t!” is particularly funny to me, because I could see that happening. Although it would happen behind the scenes, never in front of a perspective member, no matter how poorly qualified she was. You definitely need to be an actual descendant of a Revolutionary War patriot, and proper dress and manors are a must. 😍
@@lim4275 off topic, you haven’t read our thread. I don’t know why you are focusing on Logan and his fam. This is about Emily. So honestly I dont know why I read that comment. Also we are not having an argument. I dont think the maker of this video is incorrect, I simply didn’t agree with one aspect of their theory. They mentioned that this was light hearted. So If you think that after reading the title of this video, that this is about Logan family; then you are incorrect. Like chill dude
Hello! I am so sorry this resulted in a dispute. I'm not offended at all, but I am sorry that I may have contributed to it. Disagreements online are never comfortable. Thank you for the kind words! 😊
Those gilmore girls character analysis are amazing! My favorites on this channel. i hope for more.😊
Thank you! There are quite a few Gilmore Girls topics that I want to cover, so there is more to come (they will be interspersed with other shows).
i think this is a fun theory ! its always nice to have little thought-experiment headcanons like this. emily does bring up russia a fair amount in retrospect fjadskl
This video is great! I will say that the one thing that gives me pause in your theory is that Emily is a DAR Member, and they’re highly selective. In fact, they ask for genealogical records. But you did say it was her mom’s side, so maybe her dad’s family lineage got her in.
Yeah, that was my thought as well; that her eligibility to join the DAR would be based on her father's family tree.
Oh, I love this theory! Nice catch on the Russian aspects, that had all gone right over my head. But I love that you took the time to dig for some thread of evidence in making up this theory.
Thank you! I know this theory is very out there and they are just threads but given the fact that we don't get any background on Emily, there are so many theories that would work with her. I'm open to other interpretations.
What I don’t like about this video is that it starts with a theory and then starts to bend parts of the show in a way to fit that theory … instead of taking all the little hints of Emily’s past from the show and filling the remaining gaps with theory …
She is a descendant of patriots, she’s having a younger sister living in Europe, on her first visit in Paris she stayed in the Ritz with her mother, she had real pearls on the invitations for her 21st birthday, her mother had a crew of seamstresses work day and night on her wedding dress…
When Emily speaks about her mother, I get the impression, she must have been a grand dame from a known wealthy family.
When talking of Trix‘ disapproval of Emily, I could imagine that Emily’s family just didn’t go as far back as the Gilmores …like not being Mayflower descendants or just came to money in the 1880‘s
Whoa. Thank you, thank you for confirming my own theory about Emily - down to the scene in Emily in Wonderland. If ASP does decide to come out and speak on Emily's past one day, and it doesn't align with this, I will be shocked. That is how much sense this theory makes.
Hahaha, thank you! I did kind of make the video in jest, but it is fun to think about. I like exploring the backgrounds of characters when shows don't explicitly provide them. I have a theory on the town of Stars Hollow itself. Contingent on the reception to this video, I might make it!
How is she part of the DAR? Doesn't that require genealogical proof
Under this theory, she would have established her lineage based on her father. I don't take this theory too seriously though.
Just watched this video now. I have been binge watching your videos today and this one is so fun! I love that you made up this theory. It's fun to look at character's backstories and make guesses and create a narrative. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts on this show. I would gladly watch a video about any of the characters. I do appreciate you looking at the minor characters, that's fun! Videos about the main characters would be fun too.
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you're enjoying them. The theory videos are the most fun to make (even though they are the most polarizing). I was thinking of making a full conspiracy video where I cover the craziest theories that fans have for the show.
@@PensiveWhiskers oooh, that sounds great!
please make a million more gilmore girls videos, idc if anyone says they've "already been done" i love your takes!!
Thank you so much! I have quite a few Gilmore Girls ideas that I am excited to make. There's definitely a lot more coming!
Ahh ur so welcome, can't wait for the new stuff!!@@PensiveWhiskers
I kinda see it because she wants Lorelei to have things she didn’t have explains why Richard’s mom didn’t approve of Emily. But I also can feel like they both met at Yale that she had some money but wasn’t old money but new money which can explain another reason why Richard’s mom didn’t approve of Emily .
The DAR only takes in woman who have revolutionaries as ancestors, and I'm pretty sure this has to be well documented; so Emily would have had to have forged a lot of documents to get in.
But Emily wouldn’t need to forge documents if her dad’s line goes back to the revolution. A few people have said that you don’t need both parents with ancestors, just one. In this case, the father would be the one with the family line.
I don't think this was what happened, but I wish it was what happened. Personally, I don't think Emily is descendant of immigrants on the level of her parents, but I can see it in the level of grandparents, maybe all of her four grandparents, maybe just a pair, but I can see it could fit the concept of multigenerational trauma and her almost religious devotion to the concept of High Society.
Thank you for these videos
My pleasure! 🙂 They’re fun to make
If I could add one tweak to the theory: Emily doesn't come from a truly 'working class' family. Her family were highly-placed party members in the Soviet Union, and her childhood was marked by that privilege. Her family only became 'working class' when they had to flee the SU for some reason or other. Emily missed the wealth and decadence, and so she sought to recapture it in America. her family still had to work for a living in America, but Emily viewed that time as a mere temporary setback, not the start of a new life in America.
Ooh, I like that!
Or it could be that her mother was the one who had to flee the Russian Revolution and leave behind her wealth and privilege and what she experienced there as a young girl and raised Emily to get it back for her vicariously.
I had a grandmother raised by a woman who had delusions of grandeur and bitterness about her life not turning out the way she had been raised to expect it to be and that got passed down to my grandmother. Just a thought. 😊
I absolutely love this theory and thinks it holds a lot of weight! Well done, great video- wish it was longer!
Thank you! I get worried about making videos too long, so your comment made me smile.
It's a very creative idea....but it does not flow with the cannon of GG. Emily's family definitely came from old money. she is too rooted in tradition and snobbery for her not to have been brought up in that and there are a lot of comments and things she says of her past that show she was born with money.. but I do like the creativity of it.
Yeah, it's definitely very out there. I kind of get the urge to do out-of-the-box videos as a creative outlet which results in ideas that may not always be well rooted in a show.
The Russian family history- maybe some younger child of a younger child of an important aristocrat a bit farther back? Still Russian roots, along with whatever other royal/ noble houses married into the family, still upper class and monied.
That would also be a fun theory! I’m all for it 🙂
llisteeeeen i lOVE this theory!!it had me giggling when u mentioned she "INTENTIONALLY MISPRONOUNCED THE RUSSIAN DANCER'S NAME!" 🤭🤭
i honestly loved this so much! and i wanna see mooooreeeeeee i mean EMILY CUD B COMPLETELY UNHINGED AND HAS BEEN LYIN TO HERSELF SO MUCH SHE BELIEVES HER LIES AND COMPLETELY FABRICATED THAT HER UNCLE WAS A HOSPITAL FOUNDER AND THE PEARLS ON THE ONVITATIONS WERE ACTUALLY GRAINS OF RICE STUCK ON WITH SUPERGLUE
Hahahahaha 😂 “grains of rice stuck with glue,” I love that. I thought that the pearl invitations would work with my theory since that was for Emily’s 21st birthday and her family would have come into money by then, but I actually love your suggestion more.
I need to get back to doing unhinged theory videos, they are fun.
@@PensiveWhiskers please ! do more ! i feel so many of us would be happier if we remember that life is meant to be enjoyed ! first and foremost :) the most important detail..
u must have had fun using ur imagination to make this video, and i had fun listening to it 😀😊😇
Interesting theory. In order to join the DAR, though, an applicant has to be able to prove lineal descent from an American Revolutionary patriot. If Emily grew up poor, it is unlikely she would be able to prove a connection, especially in the days before 23 and Me.
I wish people would watch videos of me discussing Gilmore Girls, it’s very fun to talk about it with like minded people. ☮️❤️
Have you thought about trying it out? I just started making videos this year, I am a total noob at it but somehow, some people have decided to watch. I'm sure a ton of people would want to listen to you.
@@PensiveWhiskers I might give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement 😊
loved this! haha might have to start re-watching gilmore girls now
Thank you! It is Gilmore Girls season (aka Fall), so it's a great time for a rewatch. 🙂
Honestly. Emily is one of my favorite characters. She's complicated but stays strong in her values but still has room for movement on certain things. She's super interesting as a character.
This theory makes me think of Julie Cooper from The O.C.
No this is wrong Emily came from wealth, when Richard gets ill and she goes to the hospital, she points at the picture and said my grandfather/or great grandfather picture or smthn like that
You can't just join the DAR, you need to provide lineage documents.
its been hinted that she's comes from money. her pearl lined invitations, the DAR etc
I always felt she came from the bottom of high society, rich enough to be included but actually high middle class. Also, you missed her possibly lesbian cousin? After all back then a woman was said to be too "athletic" was a subtle code for she was a lesbian, and it's most likely she came out.
Interesting but you forget the DAR actually does a huge amount of research before you can join it 😊 as some one from an area who grew up with lots of girls in the dar and the daughter of the mayflower I can tell u that u can't just join them I could not because my family records would not prove it. The NY branches are indeed more stuck up than the Connecticut branch 😂
Thank you for the input! Does the individual have to prove that both sides of the family have roots from the Revolutionary war? There was another comment that suggested that an individual does not have to show roots from both sides of the family.
I figured it would be nearly impossible for most people to show that both the mother and the father have family going back to the American Revolution.
@PensiveWhiskers they just have to prove that atleast one side of the family is from the revolutionary War 😀
No, she knew nothing about the Sovjet Union, which is a big issue in one of the episodes.
Oh shoot! I think I missed that. Do you remember which episode that was?
S.5 episode 21 - but it seems that Lorelai was the one upsetting the russian dancer, not Emily 😅
You have to have paperwork proving your lineage and connection to someone who came over from England or been in the revolution to join DAR. Emily would have had to have at least one connection to join.
Right, so I'm thinking it would be her father.
I agree with you on most of your other videos, this one I just can’t get behind. Not that you need me to 😂
That's fair, this was a very silly one. :)
@@PensiveWhiskers hey, silly is good. Sometimes I make up my own ending. For example in my story, Rory and Logan stay together.
Girllllll this theory got me spinning! I love it
Thank you! ☺There'll be more wacky theories to come (if people don't vote against it).
Kirk could be an interesting subject for a video. And! In the first episodes his name is mick. And as the seasons continue it seems he was allways there and they act as if he was allways there, but he wasn't :)
Also, at s5 e21 he tells luke he has like 250 k because he worked at thousends of jobs.
Let me ask u this - how?
And not just how he was able to start and stop working at every single one. Why everyone hired him?
I definitely have some theories on Kirk. He is on my list of characters that I want to cover, but it may be a while since I really like that character and I want to do a good job with it.
@@PensiveWhiskers gil from the bend and mrs. Kim are also small parts characters but they are interesting. Mrs. Kim evolves and adds diversity to the story
Gil and Mrs. Kim are good ideas! I considered doing videos on them, I think they would be a lot of fun to analyze. Thanks for the suggestions!
awesome video!! thank you for sharing. you are loved, beautiful soul
Thank you, kind stranger. ☺
not possible because of the DAR, she must come from Old Money ..
this is so good
Many many thanks! 😁
I don't think Emily has a sister cuz they never mentioned once her having any siblings
Hey! So there's an episode in season 1, where Rory stays over Richard and Emily's house because of a snowstorm and Emily pulls out a family album and shows old photos. Rory points to one photo and asks who that is and Emily says it's her sister, who's living in France. She's never mentioned again though.
Can you talk about how Mia Bass is the true villain of the show? She took a 16 year old with a baby into her inn to have her work an an indentured servant and live in a shed. That’s a crime!
Hahahahahaha, I haven't even thought of that! I was going to complain about Mia when I get to Michel.
I like this theory but how did Emily join the daughters of the American revolution? Wouldn't she have to prove her genealogy?
She would, but she could use her father's side of the family. Under this theory, only Emily's mother is a recent immigrant, the father's side could date back to the American Revolution.
This theory is kind of disproven when they discuss that her Mom threw her a lavish 21st Birthday party.
While there might be holes in your theory, I love the possibilities this brings up.
Thank you! I was trying to get creative, 🙃 even if it doesn't work.
Good video
No, but it would be nice to have a bit more information on Emily’s family.
👌
This is all kinds of wrong.
