It could have been better.

Netflix is probably 80% of college students best friend. There are just so many great tv shows and movies to choose from. Every so often Netflix will release a set of new shows, movies, or new episodes to shows that they already provide. In this last batch of shows released, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was one of the shows to be added.

I grew up watching Gilmore Girls. It came on every evening on ABC Family at 5 pm. I watched it religiously. Every day I was there to watch the episodes and every fall when it started back up I’d watch the reruns. When I found out that new episodes were being made to show “where they are now”, I was so excited.

Season one of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life has four episodes; one for every season. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the new season and seeing where they all ended up. I just have some beef with some of the things that happened. Here is a list of things that I (as a avid Gilmore Girls fan) think could have been done better:

1. Rory is all kinds of messed up.

She was always so focused and put together and now she doesn’t have a job, or a home, or even a steady plan for what she’s going to do from now on. When Taylor talks about closing the Gazette, Rory doesn't even offer to do it. She just sits there while they talk about it. Excuse me?! Rory Gilmore was a go getter, she would have spoken up... she would have been dying to run her own newspaper.

2. Sookie and Lorelai

They could have made it seem like they saw each other every once in awhile. Instead, they made it out to be like she up and left and was a horrible person. Yet then she shows up for the wedding? What?

3. Luke and Lorelai

Do they really need a baby? They both have kids and Luke practically raised Rory. Why add this whole thing in?

4. Logan...

What?! Logan is getting married yet he's having an affair with Rory. I know that there was always a thing between Rory and Logan but this seems like they took it too far.

5. The Musical Committee

Why is Mrs. Patty not on this? She was always the one in control of all the plays and anything musical. If there was a committee she would be the first person to volunteer.


Here are a few things that I actually liked:

1. Richard's death

With actor Edward Herrmann passing away on 2014, they tastefully had Richard "die" instead of finding a new actor because I just would not have been the same.

2. Emily Gilmore

I loved the way they made her grieving realistic. She kind of went off the deep end but that was okay because she was upset that she lost her husband.

3. Chilton

The return to Chilton was great. The way Paris was so intense and scared the students was so her. But why did Rory talk about composition class? Why not the paper?

4. I liked that each of the four episodes were based on a season. It really added to the "year in the life" concept.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
