Gilmore Girls: A Year in The Life takes place over the course of one year and is episodes are divided into the four seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall). Amy Sherman-Palladino and husband Dan Palladino take us directly back into the fast-paced world of Stars Hollow four months after Richard’s death, which was written into the script after the tragic passing of actor, Edward Herrmann, and the storyline of the three generations of the Gilmore girls (Emily, Lorelai, and Rory) is how they each deal with the passing of their husband, father, and grandfather respectfully. Although, some of the choices each character makes seems out of character, I had to keep reminding myself that people handle grief in different ways. Emily’s grief allowed …show more content…

After getting fired from the book deal with Naomi and disastrous of interviews at the New Yorker and a Cosmo rip-off, Rory is back in her childhood room at the end of Spring. However, before Summer is even halfway through Rory is taking on the role of editor of the Stars Hollow Gazette, and Jess soon encourages her to write a novel about her and her mother’s life together, which she does.

Although many others did not find Paris’s divorce believable, I felt as if it would have been more unbelievable for nothing to have changed and since out of all the relationships Paris and Doyle’s was the most dependent on the two remaining steady. As a result, the natural changes that happen over time, career changes in the case of Doyle and Paris, would have broken down their relationship. The writers also made light-hearted jokes about the lack of diversity in the original, like when Taylor Doose mentions the Gay Pride Parade
