Lane Kim is one of the best characters on the show and I will stand on this hill and fight you on that point, if I have to. Oh, no one wants to fight me? We all agree that Lane Kim is often the best part of any scene she’s in and that her story of finding and building her own life, her own love and joy, away from the restrictions of her childhood far from falling short of what it could have been actually holds up even in the horror that was ‘A Year in a Life’? 

Good, because it does people. 

Lane isn’t a failed musician because she doesn’t appear to be famous – which by the way that’s not an indication of anything, it’s the 2020s fame looks very different than it did in the Original run of Gilmore Girls – because she’s still playing. She’s still rocking with her band. Yes, her and and her husband have day jobs – which they’re succeeding at by the way – but that doesn’t mean their art has failed. They’re making money, they’re making music, and they’re doing it all while raising two happy, healthy, twin boys. Okay, so we don’t get to see a lot of their dynamic in the sequel – but that’s mainly because unlike Rory and Paris, Lane is happy. There’s no drama there. Gee, I can totally see how a happy life equates to failure in the eyes of Gilmore fans – that’s not bizarre alien logic at all.
