There’s been a lot of fuss about the highly-anticipated final four words of the Gilmore Girls revival. While the decision to create a “full circle” narrative certainly makes sense given the way Rory’s life has played out in the past 10 years (I GUESS), there are a lot of hardcore fans who remain unsatisfied with her unresolved ending. Whether you were pleased with the finale or not, here are 15 final words that would’ve been, without a doubt, WAY better.
1. “You talkin’ to me?”
If Rory wasn’t sure.
2. “I am your father.”
If Rory was possessed by Richard.
3. “I see dead people.”
If Rory wasn’t possessed by Richard but was actually just seeing him.
4. “To infinity and beyond!”
If Rory was feeling ambitious.
5. “Show me the money!”
If Rory still needed money for underwear.
6. “Can you dig it?”
If Rory was just curious.
7. “It’s alive! It’s alive!”
If Rory was talking about that time she ran into Dean.
8. “We’ll always have Paris.”
If Rory finally realized she was in love with Paris.
9. “Hasta la vista, baby.”
If Rory was actually a known killer.
10. “Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.”
If Rory felt like listing stuff.
11. “Bumblebee tuna. Bumblebee tuna.”
If Rory was all about that namebrand mackerel.
12. “Yippee Ki-yay mother fucker!”
If Rory wanted to be a cowboy.
13. “You’re my fairy Godmother!”
If Rory was high on Pop-Tarts and coffee.
14. “Wax on, wax off.”
If Rory had to go clean some flat surface real quick.
15. “Are you not entertained?”
With the real final four words? NO.
