Gilmore Girls "Revival" Review

It could have been better.

Gilmore Girls "Revival" Review

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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
