Hell yeah. This would have been a great spin off with the ending being the tumultuous relationship with Lorelai as a teenager. It would have been a great way to give us a young Richard and Emily as they work through high society life with their own sarcasm viewpoint especially Emily and Richard's mother.
When watching this episode as a preteen, I was always confused by this episode. Nine times out of ten, if an episode focuses on characters we've never seen before or since, chances are it's an attempt for a potential spinoff.
Omg I literally forgot about the spin off with Jess! This really could have worked for him but I feel like a spin off with Rory as a parent could probably work today. She could struggle raising her kid and see how different parenting is today with a kid raised with so much technology
well at the end of I am all in rory is pregnant with her first kid in 2016. the kid would only be 9, so they'd be in the real gen alpha stage and going through all that shit. That be definitely something for lorelai to figure out. (also emily as the great grandma would be perfection)
I still wish that Jess and Rory had ended up together, since they had the best chemistry. Milo could have handled his own show, as he later did on Heroes and This is Us.
I think that they do end up together. In the final episode of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Palladino clearly draws analogies between the relationship of Jess and Rory and that of Lorelei and Luke. I think that Jess will eventually end up with Rory, just like Lorelei finally ended up with Luke. But Rory will first experience what it is like to be a single mother, raising her child in the small town of Stars Hollow, with the support of all the town folk, just like her mother did. Her experiences mirror Lorelei's, and that isn't a bad thing. That was the message of the series. They are both strong independent women, but they have a whole tribe of town folk to support them. A found family. I'd love to see this as a series.
The revival made it look like they eventually do end up together. It’s like Rory gets a child from Logan, who is like Richard. And then Jess is the Luke for Rory.
Soooo, we're going to ignore that just before Jess left, at the party, he tried to have sex with Rory, and he kept trying when she told him to stop, requiring her to be more forceful to stop him from having sex with her without her consent, then the jerk got mad at her. That was the most rape culture moment of the entire show, and the perpetrator was suppose to have a spin off. Seriously? For all the talk of how swoony Jess was, a large part of the audience, including me, hated Jess. He totally disrespected the fact that Rory was already in a committed relationship when they met, then after he had successfully destroyed that relationship and got her, he treated her like crap, often refusing to do things she wanted to do, and even having the gall to say that it was because he had her now and didn't have to put in that effort. It would be seasons later before Jess even became a watchable character. Ironically, I would've much preferred Rory with older Jess than trust fund baby, man-child, Logan. I agree with the commenter who said Richard and Emily in their college and early years would've been a better spin off.
Maybe unpopular opinion but by the time I watched this episode I was so invested in Jess as a character and his family relationships that I was more excited abt his own spin off show than Gilmore girls. I loved the introduction to every character that would supposedly be part of the show, specially the little “weird” girl who loved being alone and reading books, I thought her and Jess would be so good to each other. And all the new parent characters would be good for Jess to develop more. It sucks we never got that show.
well Lauren Graham's career wasn't exactly *launched* by Gilmore Girls. She had been on shows like Townies and Conrad Bloom along with many reoccuring roles and guest apperances in television. It was her 1st shared lead role that lasted.
@@atomicabeshe was a regular on Parenthood and was a lead on Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. She’s also done a lot of theater. She has not been out of work.
She was also Amy's choice for Lorelai so instead of Lauren and Melissa, we could have ended up with Fenn and Alex. Very thankful it didn't end up that way!!!
I think if they had a spin off Rory and her Kid as an adult that would likely work better. But I also think Gilmore Girls just worked better in the time where internet and cellphones where just getting big , and we didn't have smartphones all those things cheapened A Year in the life sure we got a few answers but I think just having it left how it is would be okay. Not sure a Jess spin off would work as If Jess still was in Loved with Rory it would just be confusing which show was which.
This character hides in cupboard's to read and this character is a tweenage fan of 70's punk bands and ALL the characters know who directed the cult classic, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"... In other words, every character is impossibly "hip" in exactly the way that a forty-year-old film school graduate would consider hip.. I think fans loved it for it's naturalistic approach. 🤦♂️
I missed this episode when it originally aired....and over the years I used to do regular rewatches of the whole series...still always skip this episode still have never seen it.
The real reason the spinoff didn't work is because the Jesse character is utterly vile and unsympathetic! Massive ego, ignorant narcissist! Luke was right when he pushed him into the lake!

no, it's simple. most ppl wanted to see rory with jess, and they didn't. ppl didn't like dean and logan as much. jess and rory gained the most amount of popularity on the show. ppl wanted to see them together in the spin off, but they didn't. i was also disappointed.
You would, presumably, be introduced to other characters you’d love And it’s not like this would go on alone. The GG would’ve kept going and this would just be a spin-off, so being “glad it failed” doesn’t make sense
The spin off should be Richard and Emily in their college and early years
That damn Pendleton Lott!

Loralai as a grandma would be so cute, too! 🥰

The dude has so much on screen chemistry, not only with anyone he’s acting with in the scene but also the camera.
Meh but Luke & Lorelei
Lorelei is Rory’s mom & Luke is Jess’ uncle so that’s a bit weird

Wonder if the little girls that wanted to be Rory had as mixed feelings as I did about her being a complete failure of a person in the revival 😅

Amy Sherman "No Hat Too Silly" Paladino

She's great on Newsradio
@@atomicabeshe was a regular on Parenthood and was a lead on Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. She’s also done a lot of theater. She has not been out of work.
@@sweeney60 Parenthood came after Gilmore Girls
Nobody likes back door pilots. The only one I know that ever worked was Private Practice.
Great job narrating, Danielle!
A spin off for paris would have been exciting
Milo
He ages like a fine wine
4:17 I did not know she played miss selene too
That makes sense. I knew that the episode that followed Jess to California was meant to be expanded on.
She was also Amy's choice for Lorelai so instead of Lauren and Melissa, we could have ended up with Fenn and Alex. Very thankful it didn't end up that way!!!
Yeah, Fenn and Borstein are great, but that would've been a very different show.

I’m with Kelly. Team Logan all the freaking way. I love Jess though, I’d be okay with that. I’m also team not Dean.
So we didn't get the spinoff because ASP didn't get everything her way.
Amy Paladino butchered her own sequel, so I have no doubt she would have ruined the spin off

I miss Kevin's soothing voice
In other words... no one wanted to see "The Gilmore Girls" spin-off version of the final "remixed" season of "One On One".
I missed this episode when it originally aired....and over the years I used to do regular rewatches of the whole series...still always skip this episode still have never seen it.
Who's this lovely female voice that took over?

They recast Abe.

No offense to anyone but this show was so unmemorable that I didn't even remember watching it which I did.
Almost two minutes in is when I realized that the narrator was a woman instead the usual guy narrator. Love variety.
I'm glad it didn't get off the ground, I can't stand that guy
Im glad it failed. It wouldnt work. No loreai,rory or other characters we love
You would, presumably, be introduced to other characters you’d love
And it’s not like this would go on alone. The GG would’ve kept going and this would just be a spin-off, so being “glad it failed” doesn’t make sense
@@j.m251 possibly
Where is Kevin? This narrator is terrible.
Wrong narrator...please stop
