Yesterday, TV Line reported that Netflix had ordered four new 90-minute episodes of beloved mid-aughts sitcom "Gilmore Girls." The original cast, including Alexis Bledel, Lauren Graham and Kelly Bishop, are said to be on board. Furthermore, series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is supposedly writing the script, meaning it'll probably go more like Seasons 1 through 6 and less like the show's (disastrous) final season that aired on the CW in 2007, which she was not involved in.
It's going to be great. Or terrible! We can't know. Regardless, this news still leaves us with a lot of questions about where "Gilmore Girls" Season 8 would take us. Here are 70 of them.
