r/GilmoreGirls

I think its quite telling how much fault people put on Rory in the whole "cheating on Lindsay" - situation.

But I dont think she has much fault at all. Dean basically lied to her, he made her think the relationship was over, agreed on both sides, him and Lindsay. He made it sound like it was just a matter of putting a signature on divorce papers and that him and Lindsay were aligned in this.

And Rory was a teenage girl with crazy feelings, circumstances that unsettled her and little life experience. Imagine yourself in her shoes with the kind of brain she had as a teenager. I can find little fault with her. Even her saying he was "her dean", I can easily say it as something she would say out of shock.

I agree with Lorelais telling off but in my opinion, its really Dean who is at fault here, he knowingly mislead her and lied to her. Id say Rorys responsibility in this is like 20 percent and I find it so telling (in terms of peoples views on women) how much fault people find with her and how much they judge her for this mistake.

I think wed do good to remember Deans behavior here and also...how dumb we all were at Rorys age

Sooo, did anyone else notice there’s 3 different “ Caesars”? In the earlier seasons it’s an older guy that’s only shown briefly from the kitchen. Then a different older guy who helps with taking the food to the tables & cleaning it up. Then there’s the one that gets shown a decent amount. He sort of looks like a kid. Maybe 17 or 18. & he’s kind of funny too. That one starts showing maybe a little before April gets brought into the story.
- do you think they’re just all related, or do you think they just had to find new actors to play him?
- did anyone else notice this? Am I crazy? Lol. 😆
- are there any other characters you’ve noticed this with?

i never like tristan and specifically how much people romanticise him saying “rory was blind” and that they “would’ve folded immediately”. in reality he was a creep. he constantly harassed rory calling her mary as in virgin mary because of how innocent she looked. he had his moments but he had so many bad ones too. the second someone tells me they think him and rory should’ve been endgame it’s a huge red flag for me. the whole “a guy bullying you means he likes you” schtick is overdone and misogynistic. i also never got the comparisons between him and logan. like i get that they both come from money and are fuck boys but that’s the end of it. logan definitely isn’t perfect but he is miles better than tristan. the fan edits just romanticise him

Luke buys all his gifts there, otherwise they would have been closed down by now. What else do they sell other than cat pot holders and cat toiletry kits?

What is your prediction for the next ridiculous reason to hate on Rory Gilmore? Or will it be another;

-She wasn't a good friend to Paris & Lane

-Mitchum was right

The show peaked at season 3 because the moment Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) left it lost something special.

I think it was because he was connected to multiple main characters for different reasons:

- Rory's love interest who challenged her

- Luke's nephew and see their bond grow

- clashing with Lorelai and see them tolerate each other

Is it the same for you guys? Which season peaked for you then?

rory is such a cheater💀 she is kissing everyone while dating a person. i dont like dean either, but yeah, cheater are piece of shit no matter what. (ngl i like her more with paris)

That scene at the end of s5 ep 18, where drunk rory was crying over logan on the bathroom hits way more different after you experience it yourself.

The first time I watched the show I was just starting high school and I've never truly had feelings for anyone, so that scene didn't strike me in any way.

But near the start of college, I was watching it again but i really felt this scene this time. Not too long ago I secretly had the feelies for a guy but he was such a player and was with a different girl basically every week (thank god I got over him eventually lol). I was pretty good at playing it cool in front of him, but I distinctly remember reaching my breaking point one day, coming home, and basically sobbing for an entire evening. That's when I realized this was going no where and let go of the whole thing.

That was all near the end of high school, and I think I blocked that evening out of my brain, until I rewatched gilmore girls and saw this scene. Oh man, that brought me back. But I'm glad I had that experience, because I think it helped me raise my standards.

I am currently on season one episode 2

What is a quote I wouldn’t understand until later in the series?

Okay so does anyone else not feel sorry for Taylor in this episode. And the way Dean was acting in his whole episode just pissed me off just adds more feel to my fire as to where I do not like Dean and never will. Also I don't see the point of them putting Rory back with Dean was just a waste of time especially because they only really last a few episodes mean pretty much was miserable and grumpy the whole time which I see as his criminal for lying about everything about his failed marriage to Lindsay to Rory and lying the Lindsey about Rory

Richard and Emily seemed to have endless money, but were also worried about money when Richard quit his job. And then there’s the Huntzberger’s money. Logan buying Rory a Birkin bag is probably the best indicator of the difference in their wealth. I’m sure Emily could afford the $10-30K price tag, but it takes more than money to be able to buy one.

I have trouble imagining the different levels of wealth. According to Forbes, there are 3,428 billionaires in the world, yet having $14 million is considered being ultra wealthy.

Of all the problematic moments in the relationships we always talk about why is Emily being hit by Richard in his car not as discussed as Jess getting mad at Rory when she said no to having sex in Kyles bedroom

Please no spoilers beyond s2e11

I really love it when the cracks in their facade show and they relax and enjoy. When they came to Rory's birthday party and Emily gushed over Sookie and Richard discovered he is "an autumn."

I couldn't stop laughing. It shows that theyre actually human and not just the stereotypical rich people.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Lorelai and Rory. They're fun and dynamic characters to watch, and the show wouldn't be the cozy warm vibe it is without their big personalities.

But if I was at a town meeting on a Thursday night and needed to get home, I wouldn't appreciate the duo coming in late all the time and being disruptive. Taylor was annoying but he was right about that. It's not fair to the others. Lorelai throwing fries at Taylor? Entertaining, sure, but adults with lives who want to be involved in the town and fulfill their personal responsibilities probably wouldn't appreciate food fights delaying the ending of the meetings.

Lorelai also talked during movies and Kirk was right when he said that she was disturbing everyone in the theater. That's also valid. All those paying customers had a right to a proper, silent experience.

Then there's everything at Luke's. Throwing pancakes? Taking up a bunch of tables when it's busy. Trying to get tables from other people who are already sitting? Demanding Luke's attention when customers need to be served? I'd be unbelievably irritated.

This isn't a hate post. But just realistically speaking, I think most people in Stars Hollow would have probably found Lorelai at least (maybe not Rory) to be way too big of a personality. Aside from the main cast members that she's friends with, I just don't see how her behaviour wouldn't get old and frustrating. I LOVE lorelai but I love her because I watch her on a screen and her antics aren't getting in the way of my day. I might feel different if they were.
