Three Things I Missed From 'A Year In The Life'

It was practically perfect, but a 'Gilmore Girls' lover has to nag about something

Three Things I Missed From 'A Year In The Life'
The Hollywood Reporter

A Year in the Life was exactly what I needed to find love in Gilmore Girls once again. After all, that was my favorite show to come home and watch reruns after middle and high school on ABC Family way back when. Yet, there were a few things I missed from this epic reunion. Most of these are not Netflix's fault, I understand that have to deal with what cards they are dealt from Netflix turning this into their version of it. Yet, this is a Gilmore-lover finding things to nag about.

1. The Theme Song

WHERE YOU LEAD I WILL FOLLOW... Literally used to belt along to the theme song or run in the room if I was not already glued to the couch watching it. I freaking missed it. The cute little mother-daughter moments shown in it. I just felt like the theme song was perfect for the show and it being taken away just was not cool with me. Although I am sure it came down to copyright bull, c'mon Netflix fight the fight for it.

2. Grandpa aka Richard

Rest in peace Edward Hermann. Ugh, I just missed his character. He added a whole new element to the show. He was not only Emily's rock, but he would always straighten out Rory and Lorelei when necessary. His character was just impeccable and exactly what the show needed. I felt like a piece of it was lost without him, especially dinners with just Emily. What a great actor that is truly missed from this show.

3. Rory being the mother of the relationship

Does anyone else miss Rory keeping Lorelei in check? I do. Lorelei was almost too motherly. It kind of freaked me out a little. Did Lorelei somehow get her life together as Rory's is slowly falling apart? How does her character just all of a sudden become the almost typical, imperfect motherly figure? I'm not too sold on this idea, but hey I get it's for a plot twist.

Gilmore Girls is perfect. A Year in the Life is practically perfect, besides the bits and pieces I like to nag about. I am excited to see where Netflix takes this show, especially with how it ended.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
