10 Unanswered Question Of "Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life"

I was late to hop about the Gilmore Girls train, about seven years late, but I also managed to binge watch all seven seasons in about a month. So when it was announced that a revival season was going to be on Netflix, I was beyond excited, especially since it was going to be written by show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. On November 25, Netflix released Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life, all four hour and half long episodes, "Winter", "Spring", "Summer", "Fall". Here are some questions that the series left me with. *The following will contain spoilers of the series*

1. What has/will happen(ed) to Christopher?

The first and only time we see Christopher in A Year in the Life is during Fall for maybe 5 minutes tops. In that time not a lot is explained. How much contact has Rory had with Christopher? How/Why did Christopher "cave" into working for his father? Will he ever settle down?

2. How did Luke and Lorelai get back together?

I know that the finale of the seventh season of the original series, they kissed, but what happened to have them together when A Year in the Life started?

3. What has been happening with Dean?

He was also a brief part of the new episodes. When Rory sees him, all we find out is he's married to a girl named Jenny, has three kids, another one on the way, and they live in Scranton. How did he meet Jenny? Why Scranton?

4. Why wasn't Lorelai more mad when she found out Rory was having an affair with Logan?

I know Rory is 32 when A Year in the Life starts, but Lorelai got so mad when Rory slept with Dean back in the season 4 finale/ season 5 opener. Dean was married then, Logan is engaged... I mean I know he didn't say I do, but the concept of an affair is still there.

5. What's been happening with Sookie?

So Sookie and Jackson left two years ago to start a farm? Um why? How? And has the Dragonfly Inn really sustained two years without a chef? What toll has this taken on Sookie and Lorelai's friendship?

6. What's going to happen with Jess?

It was made very clear that Jess still has feeling for Rory. It was made apparent in the original series, and it was made EXTREMELY clear during the long lingering look he had through the window in the new episodes. It was Jess' idea for Rory to write her book, and he is Luke's nephew, who is now Rory's new Step-Father? (Hello, complicated plot?) so he's bound to be in her life right?

7. Rory's book

If Lorelai was so against Rory writing the book, why did she continue to do it? Is the title of her book a slight homage to the series title? Will it be successful?

8. Why was Paul necessary?

Poor Paul, no one ever remembered him, including Rory, who has apparently been dating him for two years! I don't know how you just forget you're dating someone. Also it was evident that Rory's affair with Logan was the main romance that was being focused on, so why was Paul even there?

9. How and Why did Rory and Logan's affair start?

When we left Rory and Logan in the original series, Rory had turned down Logan's proposal and left to travel the country. I know Logan lives by the motto In Ominous Paratus, but still that was devastating to him. What happened when they met in Hamburg? Didn't they try casual dating during their Yale years and it didn't work?Why does it now work? How long has this been going on? How long has Logan been with Odette? Where did he meet her?

10. The Last Four Words

The infamous last four words, that were apparently predestined from the beginning of Gilmore Girls. WHAT?! HOW?! WHO?! WHY?! I have my suspicions, and if you've watched both series as I have, you will have your own conclusions. But you can't just end a series like that! As brilliant as it is, cliffhanger endings of shows are not nice!

I loved watching Gilmore Girls:A Year in the Life.It answered some questions and it dealt with Edward Herrmman who played Richard Gilmore's death beautifully. There were some spectacularly filmed and edited scenes, one of my favorites being when Rory is walking through Richard and Emily's house to write her book and you see the memories that are there. She even walks into Richard's study and you see him sitting there- It's a very heartwarming/breaking scene. You have the craziness of Stars Hollow, everything from Taylor Doose's Town meetings to the Stars Hollow Musical.

I really enjoyed watching Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, I just wish that there were a few more things answered, but I guess this means they might have to continue and give us answers in the future!

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
