15 Favorite Moments From ‘Gilmore Girls’ to Prime You For the Reboot

10. When Lorelei spends the night at college

Rory has some fears about leaving her mom when she goes away to college, so Lorelei ends up spending the night with her at Yale. Not something most college kids would go for let alone enjoy, but then again the Gilmore girls were not your average mother/daughter duo.

11. When Lorelei kissed Luke

The moment that Lorelei kissed Luke was a long time coming, so that in itself released a whole lot of romantic tension. Not that everything went smoothly there on out, but it what would the show be without the non-stop drama?

12. When Lorelei was mad at her mom

Lorelei was often fighting with her mother, and when she wasn’t there was still the ever-present tension between the two of them.
Rory: Grandma’s still hitting you with the postcards, huh?
Lorelai: As if nothing even remotely unpleasant happened between us. How does she do that? Compartmentalize like that. It’s weird. She’s the serial killer who goes to work and talks about a funny “Seinfeld” he saw and then goes home and cooks himself a man-flesh sandwich.
Rory: Eww.
Lorelai: [Reading postcard from Temple of Apollo] Let’s see how her trip has been since her last card. “Dear Lorelai, kicked a dog, then punched a gypsy in the groin.” Oh, that’s nice.
