Rory and Jess really have some amazing chemistry which she didn't have with Logan or dean. Listen Ik Jess is a crap bf to her and she deserves better than him.
But there is some just electric chemistry idk it's like they are actually in love. The way she looks at him she didn't look at other bf the same way.
This is my opinion y'all can disagree
But after my finally rewatch from Netflix that includes a year in a life which I'm almost done with I'm literally down to lay 20 minutes or so from fall and was wondering is the resident a good show if any of you guys have watched it looking for new recommendations
In reality, I’m sure this is just a redressed set but it really looks to me like Lane and Zach’s house in the revival is in the same location and looks exactly like Sookie’s house both inside and out.
I like to think that Jackson and Sookie probably still own their house after they leave Stars Hollow since they didn’t know how long they’d be gone, and that they decided to lease it out to Lane and Zach.
Why couldn't Rory answer this question? She and Dean talk a lot about so much. Movies, music, books, life. They argue about issues and make up. They discuss, they communicate.
The writers annoy me sometimes.
And then when they make her date Jess, who they are setting up to supposedly be soo deep and have so much to talk about.... They make him her worst boyfriend who barely communicates.
I didn't even recognize Liza and I love both Greys and Gilmore Girls
The last thing Paris said to Rory in the OG series was "you are going to do such great things with your life, Rory."
I think that is such a nice touch in the writing. Because Paris hated Rory the moment she saw her, and hated her even more once she realized how much potential she had. It was nice to see that all of Paris's character development led to that one moment. She went from someone who saw Riry's potential as a threat to someone who saw Rory's potential as a happy thing.
Sorry if this is the wrong tag I’m a not on the sub much-
I (19F) am going off to college in a few weeks and would love to spend some time with my mom watching shows- but I genuinely cannot take her watching this show anymore. This is her 4th rewatch of this year and she’s been really only watching this show consistently for 2-3 years now. I do still like the show but I just need to help her find something else we’ll both enjoy. We’ve seen some of the more mainstream shows ( modern family, friends, etc.) Can anyone recommend shows similar to this one that I can try to watch with her? We have Netflix, prime, and Hulu ( I believe) but Netflix and prime are perfered.
Every time I watch the graduation episode, part of me wishes the show had just ended right there. I don’t think the early seasons are perfect. There are plenty of characters and storylines I don’t like. Especially in season 2. But after season 3 it feels like each season gets progressively worse. There are specific moments I’m grateful for. I’m glad we got to see an older more mature Jess. I’m glad we got to see Luke and Lorelai together. I’m glad we got to see Lane and her mom learning to understand each other better and growing closer. But overall, the last 4 seasons are never as fun to watch as the first 3. So some small part of me always wonders if the shows legacy wouldn’t be better off if it had just stopped after 3 seasons.
I'm currently working on a project for my local mushroom festival for the 3rd year in a row. I'm using 4 different seasonal events and one of them is The Festival of Living Art. I paused this right before they opened the curtains to The Last Supper to get a pic to paint. You can see the Warner Bros Water tower in the top right corner. Then I paused it seconds later and it's gone 😅
I ship so many bi characters with each other they have chemistry and it's not even a joke. Dean and jess are one of them.
Rory is 3rd wheel between them ☆ •͈ᴗ•͈🦢
Rory and Paris obviously.
Currently watching this episode where Rory is showing Logan around Stars Hollow for the first time. I absolutely love the whole “showing the boyfriend around her hometown” - it gives me butterflies as it’s so cute! Does anybody else feel this way when watching or reading something like this? I think it’s sweet as he gets to understand another layer to her personality! And she can boast about her hometown, including all of the big and little events (like where she fell off her bicycle lol), whilst he’s just falling in love all over again 🥹
(Cheeky side note: if anyone has any book recommendations that includes something like this, I’d love to know!)
I was just watching S4 Ep7 and at about 32:30 Taylor was making a speech about how Woodbury couldn't host the festival of living art and said "they basically said 'Oh well, whatever, never mind" I think this could be a slight nod at Kurt Cobain but also at Lanes taste in music? Anyway, i was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this before
I just decided to start re-watching the series since it moved to Hulu, and I knew that the characters were gonna be very young, but when Lorelai walked into that coffee shop and I got that first glimpse of Luke, it was like oh my God.
Unpopular opinion, but when it comes to Rory's love triangles, I never really put to much thought to characters like Shane or Lindsay.
Obviously what Rory did to them wasn't great, but I've always looked at those storylines as pretty standard TV love triangle drama.
I think the fandom analyzes Rory's love triangles much more deeply than the Palladinos ever intended. I've always seen them as TV romance tropes rather than storylines that were meant to be dissected from every character's perspective.
Shows like Gilmore Girls came out at a time when this was just a common romance trope. The "other boyfriend" or "other girlfriend" was usually there to create conflict, make the audience root for the main couple, and then quietly exit once that part of the story was over. They were more of a plot device than fully realized characters.
The Dean/Jess/Rory triangle is really the only one where I feel differently because Dean was already an established character before Jess even showed up. We'd already spent two seasons with him, so of course I'm going to care more about him than someone like Shane, who was in four episodes and then disappeared. Dean feels like an actual character in his own right. Shane and, to a lesser extent, Lindsay mostly feel like they exist to keep Rory and the audience from getting what they want right away.
Yes, Rory calling Shane a freak and making snide comments about her was wrong. I'm not defending that. But that's also pretty par for the course for teen and young adult shows from the late '90s and 2000s. The rival love interest was often treated as an obstacle rather than a fully fleshed-out person. It hasn't aged well, but it was a really common storytelling device back then.
In the episode with the ice skating (season 1) Lorelei disrespects Sookie about the relationship thin, somehow Sookie smiles in a minute and does not hold a grudge for even a moment. In the episode with The Bangles concert, she offers Sookies tickets to Rory and the chilton group without even checking with Sookie first!!!! I would be livid if my BFF did this - no matter the situation. At least ask ….. don’t presume or make decisions..
I’m sure Sookie and Lorelei have been discussed earlier but these are my 2 cents during the millionth rewatch …
Edit to add: this does not negate stuff Sookie does or does not do .. or that Lorelei isn’t a good person or something. It’s just an observation.. maybe good to add that my husband pointed this out as a first time watcher while watching season 1 … got me thinking out loud.
Growing up, I always thought Dean was a jerk for breaking up with Rory at the dance floor in front of everyone. But now on my million-th rewatch, I feel it was completely understandable of him to break up with her. Rory had an emotional involvement with Jess, they did even kiss(though Dean didn't know that). It had been going on for so long. He was feeling jealous and then he was cooking it off and then he was adjusting to the calm in their relationship because Rory was at odds with Jess so their relationship was good again. And then she provokes Jess at the Dance off. I agree it was in retaliation to him provoking her but he was mature when he didn't get involved in their altercation. But then at the dance floor she was dancing with him but staring at Jess. That gotta sting.
It was the straw on the camel's back. All those months maybe year of seeing Rory pull away while telling him,"No!I love you." Well that's gotta come out sometime.
I agree the mature thing would have been to break up with her afterwards. Or the mature thing would have been to break up with her when she was first getting involved with Jess and started ignoring Dean. But hey, they are what 16, 17 year olds? We are expecting way too much maturity from them if we are.
Edit: I just reached the scene in the episode where Dean actually breaks up with Rory and oh my god it is so much worse. She is dancing with him but ranting about Jess or fighting with him while completely ignoring Dean. I don't think Dean was in the wrong at all. And I don't think he should have taken her aside and broken up with her. God this girl ! And afterwards, she isn't even affected, she is like oh well yeah it is all true. So now what Jess. NOW WHAT JESS? Oh my god! So all this time you were just waiting for Dean to take himself out. What a wuss. Ugh!
Just a thought. I know he had recently graduated but I thought from a previous conversation he had with Rory about being a rich privileged white male.
I currently rewatched the episode “Haunted leg” where Paris and Rory became President and vice president and oh my god Francie truly pisses me off, I highly doubt I’m the only one.
I want y'all to quote what Emily would say on hearing the news of the famous NYC proposal that's been trending lately 😭😭 just the thought of her finding out about it is so funny to me.
I think she'd be appalled and compare them to monkeys or sumth💀
