Well, it’s official: Gilmore Girls turns 25 this year. Yep, the show that convinced an entire generation they could survive on nothing but coffee, Pop-Tarts, and obscure movie references first premiered in 2000. And somehow, two and a half decades later, we’re still arguing over which Gilmore guy was the worst, whether Stars Hollow was cute or a waking nightmare, and if Rory deserves defending (spoiler: she doesn’t).
