It's unfortunate to say the least... But mom and I tried our damnedest. We made it through seasons one through three in two weeks, a nearly impossible feat when you consider that we have lives.
We may have made it a little bit closer to the series finale- but this week I was fighting with the Girls. I was angry at myself for not starting this marathon binge sooner when we could've done a respectable two episodes a day instead of needing to do eight a day to be ready. Then there was the season finale of three- where Rory and Jess break up, and that truly messed me up. I'm still trying to understand why I took it so hard when I didn't even take it that hard when it originally aired... but I digress.
I have compiled a list of the BEST episodes to watch, and I have a hard time choosing- so by all means-- there's no way you could get through my list before November 25th but hey- I can't change.
I would like nothing more than to not watch the revival until I have painstakingly watched each 22 episode season. But I just don't have that kind of time- and I WILL NOT HAVE IT SPOILED.
