With one month to go before Gilmore Girls makes its return, Netflix have treated fans to a full trailer. We laughed, we cried - and then we dissected it.

Here are the questions we urgently need answered:

1. Why does Rory feel like her career never took off?

121139

The last time we saw Rory she was heading off to cover Barack Obama's electoral campaign and was all set to be a successful journalist. Sure, it's been a tough few years for journalism, but surely Rory would rise to the top like she always does? And yet, she's pouring out her heart to Jess, saying: "I could have been a contender". Hopefully she's just being overdramatic.

2. Will Jess give her the pep talk she needs?

121131

He was the one who motivated her to go back to Yale by reminding her what she could do if she was determined enough. "You're still a contender," he replies.

3. Why is Kirk at Friday Night Dinner?

121127

Lorelei and Emily seem just as confused as we are.

4. Why did Richard Gilmore die?

121140

Edward Herrmann died two years ago, so the Gilmore Girls will also have to say goodbye to Richard Gilmore - but we don't yet know how he passed away. His absence will be keenly felt.

5. Why is Emily Gilmore wearing jeans? And a T-shirt?

121129

Emily never wears jeans. This is a bad sign about how she is coping with her husband's death.

6. What has Rory been doing in London?

121136

Lorelei says Rory is channelling Jack Kerouac's On The Road - but what has brought her to England? Intriguing.

7. Why is Lorelei talking about Luke in therapy?

121137

"We're happy. Luke and I are happy," she tells her therapist uncertainly. Uh-oh. Is their relationship in trouble?

8. Has Paris become Hillary Clinton?

121138

Is that a pant-suit we spy? And... is Paris back at Chilton?

9. What is Logan doing back in the picture?

121133

What happened between him and Rory after she turned down his proposal?

10. And how about Rory's first sweetheart, Dean?

121130

11. Does the YouTube repeat button ever break?

An image depicting a festive scene with iconic Christmas elements such as a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with twinkling lights, snow gently falling, and perhaps a cozy fireplace in the background. The image should capture the essence of popular Christmas songs, with musical notes and lyrics subtly included in the design, representing a playlist of classic Christmas tunes.
