This may be controversial, but I kinda disagree with the Jess violating Rory's boundaries point. I know that it wasn't a pretty sight, but they were in a room making out and he just tried to take a step forward (ik he was frustrated with the whole dropping out of school thing, and he stopped the second she said not here or now. Most high school guys in a relationship might have tried to jump base at some point in their life. The important thing is to know if you have your partner's consent and stop right away if you don't. I hate how people make it sound as if he tried to rape her. Logan has treated her much worse multiple times and I'm surprised by the number of people who still crib that she should've accepted his proposal.

one thing a LOT of people fail to notice is that while Jess started out as the troubled bad boy type, his later appearances show how far he's come & how much he's changed for the better. he's a better man now than he was when we first meet him in season 2. Meanwhile Dean, who seemed like the perfect boyfriend, turned out to be extremely possessive and jealous and they type of guy who cheats on his wife; and Logan stayed largely the same throughout his time in the series. By the end of A Year In The Life, Jess is proven to be the best of Rory's boyfriends ( though part of me does wish she'd given Marty a chance. )

The show tackled the issue of gifted children or children being told how smart they are in their formative years. Rory was a cautionary tale about spending her life up until college being told how super smart she is. When professors ceased to be impressed by her load of books, she was completely unprepared. One professor hurts her feelings and she completely gives up. Most college students find that their original career choice was not for them. College kids change their majors all the time. Rory could not handle that.

I feel Lanes mom was never fair to her and never let her make some of her own decisions which I feel people have the right to think and feel for themselves and pursue their own dreams parents shouldn't stifle their children's independence or their creativeity which is exactly what Lanes mom did to her she wouldn't Even let Lane pick the college she wanted to go to I feel Lanes mom was very very controlling of her life she also bearly let go out or do anything Lanes mom needed to take a huge major chill pill

I dont know if it was just me but i feel that Rory just went downhill ever since she left Chilton, she started acting out more and not realising when she makes wrong decisions and then fights about it? What happened to the girl that grounded herself when she forgot to return a library book? The one that always tried to be the best she could be. I understand as she neared the twenties she would start changing but to go as far as to sleep with Dean while he was married and to steal a boat?

tbh i think jess is in the wrong but i also think he was just in the moment. plus rory kinda gave the impression she wanted to do that too and he stopped after rory said to stop. he was probably embarrassed after that causing him to lash out. it all happened so fast then when RORY stormed out (not jess as this video said) he came straight after her and said she didnt do anything wrong. while i understand jess shouldnt have done that i think people overreact about the situation.

Can we talk about how lane didn't get the ending she deserved? She was thrown an absolute curveball with her pregnancy, and it was very out of character. I wished we would've gotten to see her pursue her dreams for a longer time, or just her married life. She deserved a happier ending that was more fitting for her character. I wished they showed something that was more Lane, full of spunk and life. Her ending was just there to tie up loose ends, and she deserved better.

To me, an intriguing theme throughout the series was the downright Machiavellian machinations that both families and society go through to get and maintain power. This is probably most pronounced when Richard and Emily manipulate Lorelai and Rory to get what they want, and that moment in the series when Digger's father sues his son and Richard over their new partnership, then Richard and the father join forces to squeeze out Digger. Intriguing stuff.

I have never actually watched Gilmore Girls. Ive thought about watching it I just Ive never gotten around to it. But the only thing I know about this show is the characters obviously and how everyone hated that Rory dropped out of College because it was so unlike her character. It was so controversial that someone that has never watched this show like me actually knows of that storyline lol. And I knew that was going to be on the list.

The Genius of Gilmore Girls is their ability to have serious plot topics with humour & no resolution. Escalation? Sure. Repair/improvenot likely.
Despite the time/energy/money Gilmores have; they question the Quality of their relationship 2 each other. Now add Rorys dad & his relatives (they died & left Rory (1st grandchild of 2 nothing directly? Really. See how nothing has improved? (Via complete lack of effort)

This is my all-time favorite TV show back when it first aired on WB (yes, I said WB. who remembers that? Lol) and I remember thinking how great of a show it is because there were no other TV shows quite like it that tackled these issues. Now, I'm rewatching the seasons/episodes on Netflix and let me just say that it still holds up NOW as when it did the first time I watched it! Such a great show! #gilmoregirlsfanforlife

i hate anna. a child should never be hidden from one of their parents, unless that parent is a threat to that childs physical or emotional well being. yes, luke has never shown much interest in children. even a dislike for them. but, would he ever treat april negatively? he may be a hermit and a grump but it was no secret before april even came along that he has a good heart. luke deserved to meet his daughter. period.

I love how that situation with Jess in the party was addressed. People hardly ever mention that, and that was straight up wrong. He should never have done that. To me, that moment was the single most awful thing he did throughout the show. Still, I'm glad to see his character development in the later seasons.

I used to be pro lorelai. Now I'm more richard and Emily's. She was an ungrateful little brat to snobby to accept her parents help and at 16 thinks it's a good idea to live in a shed with her baby. yeah that's really smart lorelai. listen to your parents they love you and can help you and graciously accept it

Emily's grief and Lorelei's hit me harder after my dad died 2 years ago. He was everything to my mom and she struggled to get her footing after his heart attack. And he wasn't a perfect dad so I understood Lorelai's conflict, too. It wasn't perfect. Lots of arguments but we loved him more than all the drama.

Girlmore Girls is about normal people, dealing with normal problems, some worse than others, like in real life!
The amazing thing about this show is that evil it self is out of the picture. What a nice thing to witness! My blessings and thanks to the Sherman/Paladino couple! HEROES in many senses!

We also have to mention the time when Jackson said he was going to get a vasectomy, didnt go through with it and didnt tell Sookie! and this of course meant she got pregnant, which is something she did not want to do again. Dont know about back then but pretty sure this is considered rape

The judge that trialed Rory in season 6 was a straight up QUEEN. I was so happy to see Rory finally being put in place and not protected again by her spoiling grandparents. May all judges be a bit more like her and well have less spoiled rich kids to deal with

Anna Nardini was a terrible person. She kept her child away from her father for no good reason, and wasn't even at all sorry about it. Like, we'd all kill to have Luke as our dad, band she thought nah. She just wanted April to herself. Toxic.

It bugged me that Rory was referred to as special or gifted, that term spoiled her. She was just smarter than everyone around her.
Losing Richard was unbelievableI can imagine what real families go through after a lost like that.

Great show I didn't watch when it first aired, but I stumbled on it on the UP network almost 4 years ago and got pleasantly hooked. Great acting, characters, writing and you can be laughing and crying throughout any given episode

I actually think Rory dropping out of Yale was a very good and realistic decision, plenty of people drop out, not many of them return. But Rory did, she returned stronger than ever and even managed to graduate with her classmates.

Any time I remember that episode where Richard has a heart attack, I get sad because he did end up going before Emily. I can't imagine how devastating Emily's initial reaction to his death.

I am still upset at the way they left A Year in the Life. Who is Rory pregnant by? Will Lorelai and Luke have a baby? What else is going to happen! I want one more episode. Just one more.

I hate the season when Rory sleeps with Dean. I could never get past that point, other than an episode here or there, because I absolutely hate cheating storylines.
