I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion of the year in the life reboot. It just felt so ingenuine and performative, like they were trying to squeeze every possible joke and reference out. Overall left a bad taste in my mouth and felt like fan fiction.
I’m sorry but Emily’s arc made it all worth it! Emily typically gets so much hate and so little empathy. It amazes me how people can defend so much of what Paris, Richard and Mrs. Kim’s actions but no understanding when it comes to Emily. I thought a year in the life was great for her character.
I really like your point about how pressuring your child is very easy to do without meaning to. It seems very plausible that Lorelai pressured Rory to have a big academic career because Lorelai never got to (and Lorelai also wants to prove her parents wrong a little, too, I think). While Lorelai doesn't let men affect her life, I also think she tries to stop boys from affecting Rory almost too much, to the point where Rory struggles to develop her own independent skills in that arena. Lorelai has huge problems with all three of Rory's main love interests (while she likes Dean in the middle of his story, she really disliked him in the beginning and end) and really has trouble letting Rory make mistakes to learn from them. I think this is a pretty big factor in why Rory loses control with boys so drastically after leaving home.
I love this deep dive! Gilmore girls is so inspiring to me in my writing because the characters flaws align with their life stories, and the choices they make align who they really are. Though this could be seen as boring and predictable it's actually just so real to life, and it feels like their real people. This is the first video of yours I've watched, but I'll be looking forward to more.
Enjoyed your video! Please do more Gilmore Girls videos, like a video about the Stars Hollow neighbors, especially Kirk. You could do one on Luke and the guys that Lorelai was with. And a video on A Year in the Life would be good too.
Really great great video! I love seeing video essays, especially on gilmore girls. And I like the way you talk, the way you carry yourself. Can i give you one teeny advice though? Keep more eye contact with the camera, maybe keep the script slightly above the lense? It didn't bother me, but i noticed that you look aside alot. Anyway, i subscribed and i can't wait for the future, you will do great on TH-cam!
Just found Gilmore Girls in 09/2024, watched all 7 series and the year in the life in about 3 weeks, just couldn’t wait to see what’s happened next, although being retired helped. I think I’ll need to rewatch as I took so much in in such a little time. Loved the humour and situation they got into, I love the non woke themes throughout the shows. Probably the best TV programme I’ve ever watched.
Love that you discovered the show! Excited for your rewatch so you can dig into the show’s themes like women’s autonomy, class commentary, and general progressivism in the politics, music, and interests of our central characters, especially for the time!
I enjoyed your take and video. Only one bit of constructive criticism would be to have your notes and camera in the same direction as it is a little distracting for the audience. Definitely your video makes me want to do a rewatch soon.
I think Lorelai was emotionally immature only, but that doesnt mean she wasnt business mature. Idk how to say it 😂 yes she got her degree, she opened her own business and she was very focused that way but somehow emotionally she remained a teenager. By no means am I judging her, i get it though. All of these characters needed therapy, especially our beloved 3 Gilmore girls. Also, for anyone who hasn't watched Kelly Bishop sit down with Lauren Graham i urge you to do so, it's free on YT. Kelly is such a sweetheart , absolutely adorable ❤

I mostly agree - however, I loved Emily's portion of Day in the LIfe and think its worth a watch just for her arc.
@@spbrk totally loved Emily's arc ❤❤❤ and it was funny to see her wearing jeans 😂

Oh please definitely do a video ablit your take on A Year In The Life. Definitely want to hear more about your views on this!

I literally started watching this show with my mom a few months ago. Perfect timing for this video
So well said I agree with what you saw in each character and the actor who plays the part
