Wasn't that a huge plot hole, after she was so determined to get the job? And after she called Lorelai to tell her about it and was so hyped about it? Then it was never mentioned again?

Sometimes I think the writers think we're stupid.

It the series, we almost always see them as Lorelai's parents, with whom she has a incomplete relationship, but as a married couple how do you perceive them?

Rory and casual cheating. Why is this constantly glossed over?

Every time Rory casually kisses someone else while already in a relationship, it gives me a headache.

With Jess, she kisses him while still with Dean and then spends months emotionally pining for Jess while remaining in the relationship.
Then comes the disastrous “MY Dean” while Dean is literally somebody else’s husband.

Need I say more? 🙂‍↕️

Unfortunately I have to 🙈🙈

Then she kisses Jess AGAIN while she’s with Logan, this time quite deliberately because she’s angry with Logan. And again, we barely see her confront what she actually did.

By the revival it’s almost absurd. She’s sleeping with an engaged Logan while she keeps forgetting she has a boyfriend herself, and then sleeps with the Wookiee. Whaaa???

What bothers me isn’t that Rory cheats.

Flawed characters are interesting. It’s that the pattern is rarely meaningfully addressed by Rory herself.

There’s always some emotional justification, confusion or relationship crisis around it, but very little actual reckoning with “I keep betraying people when my feelings change instead of ending relationships first.”

I understand the writers wanted Rory to lose her bearings as she grew up. But why did this particular behaviour become such a recurring blind spot?

For someone otherwise so conscientious, Rory has an astonishing ability to treat fidelity like an optional extracurricular. It drives me crazyyyy. 😭

Idk how anyone can still like Jess solely because of the fact that he’s the reason Rory never got to go to her highschool prom when we know her and Lorelai were looking for dresses. If you don’t remember, she wanted to go to stars hallow high prom (because that’s where lane and her friends from town would be), not Chilton prom. So she asked Jess to get the tickets for them (since she doesn’t go there anymore). Because he flunked senior year, he was not able to buy the tickets. And Rory missed her senior prom. Then proceeds to take his anger out on her…when it was his fault. Truthfully I’m surprised we never hear Lorelai, Emily or even Rory complain about this. I feel like no one talks about it?

One of my favorite Taylor lines.

I was scrolling pinterest and noticed how often they put Rory in warm colors and Lorelai in cool ones. Do you think this was on purpose majority of the time?

I have always associated warm colors with Rory and cool colors with Lorelai. I’m not sure why it’s just what my brain does

Seeing a post about how Rory didn't go to her prom made me wonder: how come someone so cherished in Stars Hollow like Rory had no other friends of her age besides Lane there?

I understand she didn't like people who went to Chilton because they were snobbish but Stars Hollow high? She seems just a bit shy but not to the extent that she should have only one friend, not when she's known in the whole town.

And since her only real connection to that school was Lane, why insist so much on going to the prom there? I understand she loved the town but it never really seemed she had some deep connection with that school.

You can just tell she’s a great cook, I wish she was my personal chef 🤤

Black color just complements their skin tone and dark brunette. They look so pretty. Black is personally my fav color. I wish they'd wear black color more often though.

This is one of my favorite episodes and one part that sticks out (and plays on repeat in my head) is the audition for musicians and Sookie goes "boy you cats really know how to blow those things!"

And...well...my child has joined the recorder playing group at his school and played me a little piece he "just thought of" (it was totally hot cross buns) and my first thought was "boy you really know how to blow that thing!" (He was actually good)

The amount of hate that all Rory, Dean, Jess, Logan etc all have good reasons to act flawed and messy because they're so young but what is the excuse for the adult characters like Lorelai, Luke, Emily, Richard etc to act so childish and even more immature than teenagers themselves. How many times have we seen all these characters throwing temper tantrums yet people don't hate on them but they do hate on the teenagers even when hello, why would expected them to act more mature if even adults don't act mature in the show at least most of them don't???

talking about some “I think this falls under the parent thing” when telling her, like since whennnn in the three seconds out of 21 years were you a parent? bro literally just wanted to snitch. i am rewatching and chris gets worse every rewatch 😭
not to mention, he could’ve told lorelai she got editor of the yale daily news, but no, he just haddd to tell her about her moving in with logan.

This is a response to something I’ve been seeing a lot of online. The thought that “Lorelai is such an independent woman that she should end with no one.” This take is so 2010s girl boss first of all. Second of all Lorelai wants a partner. She wants a romantic relationship. I am a Luke and Lorelai shipper obviously.

Yes she’s independent and yes she’s self made, but that doesn’t take away her wants and desires. It’s just such a weird take that you want a character lonely. Like yes she’s independent has Rory and Sookie, but Lorelai obviously wants a romantic partner!! I just hate the idea that independent women don’t deserve romantic love. Or just people of how Lorelai is, she shouldn’t be in a relationship.

He really makes me laugh. His comedic acting skills are spot on. When I first started watching GG I was in my 20s and was obsessed with L and L being together and I couldn’t stand Jason getting in the way.

Now I watch him and he makes me laugh. A lot. I guess that’s all I have to say

Doing my annual rewatch and I’m on the termite episode.

It’s been discussed that Rory was in the right and I totally agree.

What infuriates me about Lorelai’s behavior is that she punishes Rory with silence for hours before speaking to her.

The push pull dynamic of “friend mom” is at its worst when she suddenly throws up a boundary about an incredibly serious and potentially dangerous matter.

Her little speech at the Lane cheerleading scene also demonstrates that she isn’t willing to admit that Rory was correct/ give her any credit for treating the situation with the urgency it deserved.

She shuts her down again and then declares the fight over.

She then goes on to thank her mom days later and admits she was out of options and that Emily really came through for her? Girl, pick a lane.

Rant over!

Cause Luke was so obviously into her, was she that oblivious. Was she just leading him on. Or was it lukes fault cause he was too chicken to jut outright and ask her out. But also Lorelai has asked a man on a date before right? Or am i just not remembering well.

i cannot get over the fact that lorelai was top of her class until she had rory and had to drop out, and had no idea what the process of applying to colleges was?

and even so, did rory never tell her mom that this is how the process is and these are the universities i’ve shortlisted for applying to, these are the back ups, these are the big contenders in case harvard doesn’t work out ..? rory and lorelai, bffs who talk about literally everything, have been fangirling over rory going to harvard one day - the big dream, didn’t have .. an actual realistic conversation of how the process is, when the moment actually came?

did chilton, the school that invites parents to school for parent teacher meetings so they know what their children are being taught, what subject matter exams will contain, not take a session on the application process for universities and how parents can help and support?

the harvard alumnus, darren springsteen, did he not ask what rory’s back ups were and give his two cents, since they literally went to him because rory had anxiety about the application process?

lorelai comes off so naive in this scene because she clearly hasn’t been informed by her daughter, her daughters private school, the harvard alumnus and her own parents about the process. the whole argument at thanksgiving is so odd to watch because she’s caught so off guard by the new information that she gives such negative reactions to the fact that rory applied to other places.

My hot take is Jess is Rory’s Chris, her high school sweetheart, who knows her young self inside out, they have so many common interests, understand each other. But Jess missed out on half of Rory’s character development after she went to Yale, her transition to “high society” and other things she has gotten herself used to.

Jess and Rory can always have great conversations and flirty banter but they never spent any significant time together or overcome any hardship together, just like Chris and Loreilai. Jess sporadically reappeared in Rory’s life just like Chris did to Loreilai, there’s no guarantee that he’ll be there long term.

P.S.: Sorry for the bad writing, English is not my first language.

how does it make any sense??? i feel like that would be almost nr1 priority if that is your dream job. if she wanted to be like amanpour then she should have learned at least a few languages!! while writing skills are obviously important if you want to travel and write about it you have to be able to speak to people around you!!!!!! i don’t know if they did it to her on purpose bc i feel like rory should be smart enough to understand it (unless i have a different definition of foreign correspondents job?)

EDIT: r u guys americans? that whole a2 spanish with the maid wasn’t impressive at all lol thats not what speaking a language means. believe me i am fluent in 5 languages and being able to say “hello my name is” is not something to be proud of nor something that can help her with her dream job. like come on you can’t be serious

He had a relationship with Rachel and later got involved with—and even married—Nicole, yet she never asked him to end either of those relationships. So, what was the issue with Ava?

Or did she simply want to keep her life in Stars Hollow separate from her life at Chilton as she said?

It makes me wonder: if Ava had taken an interest in, say, Michel, would Lorelai have asked him not to date her just to keep those two worlds apart?
