The Netflix revival raised as many questions as it answered, but if the most circulated theory holds, it seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As much as I love the "full circle" storyline with Rory following in her mother's footsteps, I can only imagine the bittersweet emotions it's bringing up in Lorelai, who actively spent her life trying to give her daughter a completely different life than her own. It's anyone's guess what my children will be like as adults, but the fact that I already see personality traits — both good and bad — in my 2-year-old makes me think we can only do so much, and perhaps fate (or plain old genetics) plays a heavy hand in the rest.
