hey guys! alot of people have been commenting so i just wanna say this one more time. This is not mine! also to me it made sense at the time where i was in the show.
Sure, but if you take a scene of Dean at the beginning of their relationship or when he dresses in a tux and tails for her, versus a scene of Jess when he's yelling at her about prom, you'll get the opposite result
Jess had his faults and blowouts at the worst possible moments but he actually grew into a better person. Dean's personality took a different trajectory and it was consistently that way, even after the break up with Rory and then the affair with her. Some people just take a while to show you who they really are. Sadly, that's how a lot of domestic abuse flies under the radar. The facade, the bright and caring beginnings, and then the flip side.
@beccasalt8960 yes, Jess eventually matured into a good person but he was abusive toward Rory when they were dating. Both Jess and Dean had their own issues they had to deal with. But when they were dating Roru, Dean was generally better toward her. I'm obviously not including the affair after he married Lindsay. But in the end, as can be seen in the revival, both Dean and Jess turned out ok. Dean just wasn't the one for Rory.
They screwed Deans character just so they could have Rory with Jess. I prefer Jess or Logan over Dean any day but Deans character changes were not organic. He loved supporting Rory’s ambitions and her passion for reading. They should’ve gone another route than just the angry and jealous boyfriend.
rightttt. I’m am a team Logan girl, the only reason I’m not Jess is because I hate how he was with Rory knowing she was with Dean. And I probably would’ve liked him if Rory just broke it off with Dean but she cheated and I never liked Jess form then. But her and Logan were so cute sooo 😅😅
It is actually very organic. Anyone who has been in a relationship with a secret misogynist who is secretly jealous of his smarter girlfriend have seen the exact same thing. I personally experienced it. We saw how he treated his wife. Added bonus is that he was a teenager and struggled without any support with these ideas, not a full grown adult.
well then, if you have such a strong opinion, what route would you have suggested they go? because i think the route they went was perfect. if they went another route people wouldn’t have liked it and would have criticized it (like you are now) and then say “oh they should’ve made dean a jealous bf instead of _______ (what they did)” so no matter what they do, people will criticize it and recommend something else.
@@Thetrilingualreader totally agree. I had a similar situation when I started dating my first serious boyfriend. He would always say how much he loved how quiet and bookish I was, but 5 years later I realised that he had basically pulled me away from all my friends and family, and I could never even talk about men I worked with without him sulking or punching the walls at home… And he used to buy me books when we first started dating, but by year 2 he would start making a fuss about being quiet or not paying him enough attention, so I barely read at all by the end. He slowly made me make him my entire world and I didn’t even realise until he left me without any warning, and I started to reflect on our life together. I think sometimes men like the idea of a quiet bookish girl because they think they can manipulate them and keep them to themselves easier than a girl that’s a bit more outgoing. Sad really!
@CherryBlossomXX93 that is exactly what happened. he thought she can be pushed around and when the town rallies behind her he gaslights her. I am glad you got out. I got isolated by ppl i thought were my partners before so i know how it feels. Hugs!!
They were just kids! Jess was troubled, Dean was codependent, and Rory was figuring things out. But they grew up-Jess became an author and started Truncheon Books, and Dean settled into family life. Rory, though? She still seemed lost by the end. The affair, being a horrible girlfriend, no stable job, no home. Honestly, she was the worst of the three, if you ask me.
Rory was smart, attractive and went into politics. Obviously she met many wealthy men and probably married one. The fact that she didn't have her life together is extremely attractive to successful men who do.
Dean was actually really excited for Rory to go to Harvard and after the argument with her grandfather said that Rory’s going to Harvard and he’s not going to hold her back.
@@IHeartExisting Believe me I am not "team Dean" but I can see that he did want Rory to go to Harvard and that argument is completely invalid because he was upset and they were in a fight. The video disregards everything else Dean said about Harvard and completely blows what he said out of proportion, so it's really team Jess that would do anything to defend him "fr fr" if this invalid example is the only thing they can find.
I am most definitely not team Dean, but that first argument was definitely Rory’s fault. He wanted to hang out with her multiple times and she kept blowing him off.
I have always thought the one clip of Dean choosing to read her book recommendation is sweet. They have different hobbies and things that they enjoy but he was still willing to read the books she gave him even if he didn’t have the same enthusiasm
Dean had plenty of worser moments, even in the earlier seasons. Jess was obviously no saint but you make it sound like Dean was “good” the majority of the time and Jess and Rory were fighting anymore than Rory and Dean which is just not true, if anything it all averages out. Both characters were flawed so yeah the video puts Jess in a better light, but when it came to Rory’s interests, this is how they communicated in regard to those interests.
Dean was great to rory the new writers just screwed him up . Season 1 towards the middle rory brought dean to dinner with her grandparents one sentence i remember is “ im not stopping rory from going to harvard , shes smart and she deserves to go there” and some more sentances i cant rememember moral of the story is that dean wanted rory to go to harvard he was actually pretty supportive too. Both jess and dean were great boyfriends it just depends on the situation and the writer.
No, there were no new writers until the last season. Amy Sherman palidino and her husband were the main writers until season 7. The dean and Jess stuff was all done by then. They changed dean’s character to make him less likable as the seasons went on so that the audience would be ok with her being separated from him. The last part is my theory but new writers are not who made dean unlikable that was the original writers. I’m about 99% sure dean wasn’t in the last season, in fact I think his last episode was in season five when Luke and dean have to pick up a cannon ball together and they get into it.
For people who didn't know this, at the end of the revival, a year in the life, Dean and Rory met again. In Rory's own words after seeing how good, settled and happy he looked, she finally confessed to him " you were the greatest boyfriend alive, generous, protective, kind and strong. That as much as I wish we'd met when I was older and more mature, if I hadn't had you with me then, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. That you taught me what safe feels like." Now, it's safe to say that people don't generally say these kind of things about someone who wasn't good to them right? Like the video tried to make it seem. Even till the moment when she was with Jess and the reason why she even went back to Dean were because of these qualities, she never truly understood what they meant back then or how important they were in a relationship until she became mature. Lorelai knew and that was why out of all the boyfriends she ever had, none came close to gaining her approval like Dean. Jess never understood or tolerated their antics or family dynamic, even stormed out of the dinner at her grandparents house even though he was never shamed or harrass like Dean was when he went there. It was Rory who even got upset and walked out while Dean apologised, upset but calmly went after her. The reason why she left Dean was simple, he had loved her more than she did him and she wanted to not be idolised like everyone else around her, anyone can see that, which was also the same reason why he broke up with her for the final time. He had a wake up call and realised that he deserved love and Rory was not going to be the one to give him that. He could never truly measure up to the golden girl in everyone's eyes, whose feet was not allowed to even touch the ground. And if he has to make something of himself, follow his own path, they can't be together because if they are, he'll only be trying to live up to her expectations and her family's standards. Like she said earlier, if they had met later on when she was more mature, she would've cherished and respected the relationship more. Honestly, I am happy for Dean and how his life turned out. He finally got that home and family that he had always wanted without being judged for wanting it, with Rory his life was just a bad case of horrible decisions, later on we could clearly see that he sought growth, unfortunately he didn't see it with her. This is my take on their relationship☺️
I believe this reel knit picked the “good scenes” of Jess. Jess was the one who didn’t care about her dreams but just wanted to be with her. He was too troubled and angry with life for his own reasons. If he cared soo much about Yale why did he show up at Yale’s dorm room and asked Rory to run away with him and leave everything behind her? He did talk to her and asked her to go back to Yale. But it wasn’t just him that made her go back there were other reasons. Rory is also very entitled, the moment her community hours got over and her will to work for DAR she immediately left her grandparents’ house even without saying a basic courtesy thank you. Dean character got ruined as Rory made him feel like dirt. He was also a child there and didn’t want to let go of her that easily. She kissed Tristan and never told Dean. She kissed Jess and still decided to be with Dean because Jess was not available at that time. All of these characters are extremely grey characters it’s almost impossible to choose in between these characters. But a person like Jess who was only nice to Rory not even to Lorelai or Luke who helped him out a lot speaks more about how much he cared for her. He just wanted her to be his girlfriend, however Rory is a person who deeply cares for her mother and Luke and Grandparents etc and they never got the treatment Dean or Logan gave. Just reading the same books doesn’t mean you can talk forever to each other. Jess was also the one who forced her to have sex when she was not ready and immediately got mad at her when she didn’t want to. Jess at every opportunity given managed to hurt Rory and even her mother. He left Rory after making sure “she is okay” out of guilt or whatever but he should’ve been there and taken accountability. Rory should have also been yelled at by Lorelai.
Exactly, Jess was always the bad influence since he would encourage Rory to hide things from Lorelai. He changed at the end but before that, he was just a jerk.
this only really shows Dean's shitty moments which isn't really fair, because he was just a kid and DID actually support Rory and want her to go to Harvard, he was just scared that he'd lose her..
Team Logan. He pushed her, supported her, and didn't let her get away with her crap. Everyone else did because "Rory could do no wrong" and he actually held her accountable. And he never maliciously embarrassed her in front of other people. Dean made it a point to break up with her in a crowded room (the dance a thon then at her birthday party). Jess just always let her down.
Estas son las únicas partes buenas de Jess, cuando tenia que ver con libros. El 90% del tiempo estaba enojado o aburrido siendo un adolescente orgulloso.
I always was (and be) team Jess. He was the only one who genuinely cared about what she wanted (and pushed her to realize what was her dreams) and didn’t make her loose who she was.
I do love Jared's (Dean's) acting, he did though, come off a bit jealous and angry which I don't think was ok, but throughout the whole time they were together I was wishing they we're endgame. My favorite show of Jared's is Supernatural though I love the way he plays Sam and I think he was really good at it and really into character
Initially Dean's character was supposed to be more like Rory's, but they started to go in a different direction because they wanted there to be a contrast between the two in terms of interests and hobbies. In the first few episodes Dean also has an interest in readingthe same books as Rory does, but by the time of their renewed relationship he seems to have lost all interest in the same things she likes. That's not to say he wasn't supportive of everything she did, because he was, but he was also afraid of losing her like he already had done once before. That's why he became clingy and jealous, and then rightly paranoid because he recognised Jess trying to cause problems just because he thought it was fun, and because he liked the challenge of getting Rory to like him; something which Jess echoes later when she asks him to go to the winter carnival with her and he tells her that now they're together he no longer has to pretend to want to go to these things with her. Jess has no interest in getting to know her family, something Dean did despite knowing how ruthless they could be; remaining polite to Emily even after Richard ripped him apart and later standing up to Richard in regard to his feelings for Rory. Jess has no interest in getting to know Rory's friends, in particular whenever Lane is around Jess is sarcastic, stand-offish and rude even though Lane is doing her best to look passed her previous issues with him. They're all emotionally imature, they're teenagers, but Dean and Rory were able to communicate much better because Jess was so emotionally traumatised by his upbringing. I understand and can empathise with Jess's plight (hurt people hurt people), however this is no reason to treat others poorly, especially people who've shown nothing but patience, understanding and a genuine willingness to help him. He continues to skip school, he continues to lie to everyone, he continues to cause problems for others. He doesn't change until after Rory is already in a relationship with Logan. And lets not forget the scene in Kyle's bedroom where he tries to pressure Rory into sex and then gets mad at her when she says she doesn't want to. You can put that down to all the other inner turmoil that's been building in him for a long time that finally explodes, BUT he also decides that's what he wants to do instead of talk to her about what's going on with him, and blows up when she just wants to talk. Yeah, Dean punches him because he thinks (and in this case is right on the money) that something inappropriate happened upstairs with Rory. Rory might be crying for a different reason but what Dean suspects happened was on the right wavelength. The fist fight between Dean and Jess was always coming, the way it was written in was down to happenstance; Dean just happened to be on the stairs when Rory came down crying, they could have written in that she bumped into anyone else or no one at all, but we all knew it would happen and I think a lot of people were waiting for it to happen, even wanted it to happen. Rory says it multiple times that Dean always made her feel safe, secure and loved, whereas she says Jess is unpredictible and leaves her confused and insecure in their relationship. In the beginning it's the mystery and intrigue of him being unpredictable that drew Rory to Jess in the first place. I think Lorelai really hit the nail on the head when she said "I think Rory's 17, it's probably about time for a Jess." Dean was slowly being written out because Jared's new role as a main character of Supernatural was requiring more of his time, which is why we slowly start to see less and less of Dean, until we barely see him at all. Jess was supposedly written in because Chad Michael Murray was leaving to pursue other roles like One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek, so Rory could have ended up with Tristan and I know a lot of people wanted to see that happen too.
Those writers are the experts of destroying characters whom they had created. They introduced Dean as a tall , handsome, sweet and kind boy and then they made Dean kept yelling out Rory in front of the other people and Dean didn’t care her ambitions or feelings. They introduced Rory’s father Christopher as a handsome, cool and successful man who was enough to be a partner of Rory’s mom. However they made Christopher live with a chick girl during he kept meeting Rory and Rory’s mom regularly and the chick girl was pregnant. And they made Rory like an angel when she went to her high school. Then they made her give up to go to Harvard and be away from Yale and she had sex with Dean after Dean became a husband of the other girl. Those writers were just mean to their characters
I mean, that's pretty much how life really is. I loved the show just as it was. In fact, I restarted watching the other day. It's a good one for autumn and winter. People are not all good or all bad... Except in south american telenovelas which are just a pain. 😅
It’s too cruel to have Jess looking after Logan and Rory’s cheating affair kid after all he’s been through with Rory stringing him along. He’s too good for her now, I wish there’s a subplot about his own relationship with someone new, I just want my boy to be happy 🥺
Team Marty. Unpopular opinion but he was hardworking and kind and not a rich spoiled trust fund kid. I could never be team Jess after he pressured her for sex at that party. And I could never be team Dean after how he treated Lindsey
The main reason that opinion should be unpopular is that Marty hurt his girlfriend by lying about knowing Rory (and Rory didn't want to hurt either of them so felt pressured to go along with his lie just in case) which then hurt Rory by damaging his girlfriend's friendship with Rory when the girlfriend eventually found out. I think he was fine until that point. Jess was the only character who became better over time.
Marty if a typical "nice guy". He didn't have the balls to pursue her and then resented her for going out with other guys. Then he hurt his girlfriend and put Rory in a horrible position with his lies. Rory should have exposed him right away
He was fucking terrible. He was immature. He couldn’t communicate. He tried to pressure Rory into sex. Nah. He sucked. He got so much better later when he matured and wasn’t the angsty little shit anymore. Right person, wrong time.
@@Duderushe was not terrible everyone hated him as soon as he stepped off that bus. he didn’t try to pressure her into it he tried to do it but she wasn’t ready and i’m pretty sure he was drunk
@@downtownbooklover dude an asshole to her, lmao. Maybe you got low standards, idk sis. 🤷🏻♀️ He was a bad communicator and dismissed her feelings a ton. He also was disrespectful to her mom and his own uncle when all they did was try to help him.
I think one of the things I love the most about GG is how realistic it is. Rory had everything she needed to have the "perfect" life but she still struggled and ended up being lost and confused at 32...thinking back to easier times. I related SO much to that. As for the love triangle...Jesse was always my favorite character. He was pretty much the only one who grew and changed over time....Luke too. ❤
Jess, dean and Logan. All good boyfriends to Rory in their own ways. Comparing Jess to dean and dean to Jess is a very different conversation. Jess was the “bad boy” but he had a soft spot for Rory. Dean was the supportive boyfriend, as well as Jess. They were two totally different people. Jess had more pressure and dean LOVED Rory. Dean was much more stressed but Jess more pressured. They were two people, some same qualities but different views. Logan was perfect in a way for Rory. Rory grew to adapt to her grandparents lifestyle and Logan was in that way already. They both had similar personalities. They all had a good match and in the end, Rory chose Logan. For a single second though I would not portray dean as the worse boyfriend. Jess if anything was the worse boyfriend. That’s a whole different conversation. Who does anyone like more? Dean? Jess? Or Logan? :)
Its a young Sam Winchester. I used to love this show, i always dreamt that mine and my daughters relationship woupd be the same, it wasn't when she was a teenager, she was the devil, now though, in her 20's shes my best friend ❤
Logan was the real deal! Jess had his own problems, Logan didn't have commitment issues, he was calm cool, He never cheated on Rory when they were dating, except when he thought they have broken up... He never forced Rory to get intimate which jess once tried, jess left Rory without any explanation, whereas logan actually wanted to marry her post her graduation, and Rory actually liked the money and luxury which logan had.
Was she more compatible with Jess on a certain level? Sure, but Rory was someone who needed someone with wildly different views and tastes in her life because it challenged her in a whole new way other than just intellectually. She was so enmeshed with her mom and grandparents, it was refreshing to see her interact with someone that didn’t just fit neatly into her long term plans. Besides, deep down she longed for something completely different, not a more rebellious version of herself. Idk if any of her love interests was "the one" but I preferred who she was becoming while with Dean than Jess
@melodyclark1944 Someone who could lead a life outside of her family's lifelong expectations. Imo a big part of the reason she failed to launch is because of her codependency with Lorelei and Jess was definitely all about breaking that apart
Jess was just the bomb. He was troubled understandably, he had two parents, neither of whom seemed to want to know him (at first), and it messed him up. But Luke givinv him stability and a decent role model sorted his ass out. He always had the potential, he just needed the support of a good parental figure. By the revival hes an infinitely better person than Rory. He knows the value of hard work and she's still trying to sell the child prodigy angle despite being an average adult and wondering why she isnt being praised. Her mother and her grandparents set her up for failure, despite being loving, but shes an adult and should hold herself responsible now, like Jess does. Paris was always the best example of what actually working hard looks like on the show, and lo, she's a succesful fertility doctor.
Always said it. Jess acts like shes “above “ him in the sense that hes here to SUPPORT her. See what SHE does as a whole separate human from himself Ppl can shoot on his momma all they want but she prepared him for the new age woman & how to be a side kick not their whole gd world. Dean needs someone from the 1800s and so on who wants to live for another person. And even then thats murky waters.
As someone who has never seen this show, reading all the comments talking about "Dean" who I'm guessing is played by jared padalecki has been very disorientating 😂😂
As Rory said, Dean was the best bf! He literally loved everything of Rory. Jess only started liking her for how she looked. Dean instead looked at her reading, her habits and decided to ask her out on a date. TEAM DEAN FOR LIFE
To fair about the college thing, Harvard is a lot farther away than Yale so I get Dean’s concern. Had Rory been all about Yale from the beginning, they probably would’ve worked around it better. It’s just funny that with Dean, Rory was going far away for college but by the time Jess comes around, she’s staying in CT.
Jess had trauma to work through and maturing to do. In the movies, he seemed to have progressed beautifully. I don't love the idea of suggesting that Rory -or any woman ever- has to end up committing to any one man. Marriage is not a requirement nor a symptom of success. Rory is a whole, beautiful, capable person all by herself. That being said, of her three main love interests in the series, I pick Jess every time. (And I've seen the series all the way through about 7-8 times.) He's smart and ambitious like her. He's confident but not arrogant. He's a bit rough around the edges, but he's actually sweet and well-meaning. He's witty, creative, industrious when he wants to be, and can keep up with Rory's intellect and sense of adventure. He cares about Jess enough to want what's best for her, even if that means them being apart. He just needed to grow up and work on himself, and he did.
The way Dean reacted to rory not loving him back yet, that's the moment I decided Dean wasn't healthy for her. And then lorelei defending his behaviour is when I stopped rewatching the show :p
I feel like the longer they’re together the more Dean gets scared. They break up for nonsensical reason and he realizes that this relationship isn’t permanent so when they get back together, he acts scared for the rest of the relationship when initially he was just himself and they were just them. It eventually pushes Rory away because she also knows that this relationship isn’t permanent and there will be other boys. Her fear is more that she’ll stay for the sake of staying. It’s why she can’t break up with Dean when she knows she likes Jess.
I loved Jess, was my favorite. Biased because I like dark haired guys 😂 and 'bad' guys to a degree (he was actually pretty cool and not such a bad guy after all). I was bummed they didn't end up together. 😅
I love how they picked jess's only best moments. Lets not talk about how purposely put himself between Rory and Dean, to be selfish. How Rory ended up in a cast because of him.
But he also left her without a word more than once… Logan was my favorite even though he’s not my type. Treated her better than the other two (when they were actually together)
You know no one of them was the "perfect" fit for Rory. Rory changes as they did too. Also you have to consider that they are all teenagers here. Though the problem with Jess is that he just treated Rory nicely (sometimes) and everyone around him like shit (most of the time). He treated Rory nicely because he wanted to HAVE her. That's a difference and not good in a partner EVER. It's just important to point that out for everyone. Dean wasn't a saint too. Of course he did mistakes, said bad things and was controlling and unsure of himself and with his feelings (especially with being jealous). Again I want to point out that they are teenagers here, most adults have problems with that in real life. Most of the time no one in this series could communicate proper anyway also they learned. I think the show is about they learning to get along with each other and in a society anyways. The main difference with Dean is that he was nice to everyone in a way and not just to Rory. Also he had his bad moments too.
The difference between them even tho Jess had some minuses, some really big ones he always supported Rory, dean was more worried about this and that and how it would affect him, his first question was when you leave do we break up he didn’t even try to plan to make it work
OK, but having someone pay so you can go to Havard for journalism of all things is the dumbest plot I've ever heard. Medical school, I understand, journalism I don't.
jess was the best Dean was the person she met when she was still at stars hollow high but she and her lifechanged quite quickly once she was at chiltern snd dean really didn’t fit in with that new life he was slightly controlling and could very easily be perceived as becoming more controlling as the relationship progressed. There are some red flags in the way he talks about housewife’s, gets angry and possessive and the fact he sleeps with rory and disrespects his wife. it’s also a strange reaction to break up with a 16yo girl because she hasn’t said she loves you back after 3 months of dating. This teaches rory that if she doesn’t respond in the way that he expects when he wants it he will punish her. It’s surprising that Lorelie doesn’t speak up on this more. dean wanted more traditional small town values from the start and rory wanted more plus he is possibly a low key domestic abuser in the making. it just wasn’t ever going to go the long haul because the kind of girl dean would attract is going to be someone that dean can provide for and feel like the big man around. jess met her when she was already at chiltern and had harvard in her sights. jess liked her as a friend even when she was with dean this gave her the freedom to explore their relationship on more of a friendly basis to start with not just 0-100. Rory like her mum needs that sense of freedom. Jess gives her that Jess consistently looks up to rory and holds her on a pedestal. I think jess was willing to adapt to rory’s life changing and therefore would have been the one to go long haul with Logan was the charming rich guy that we all fall for with the good looks and trust fund looks like the perfect happy ending on the surface but dig a little deeper and you find he is a narcissist just like his dad and ultimately wants rory to marry him and fit in with his whimsical ways so that he can have her on his arm wherever he ends up going following his ties to his dads wallet. Rory says no because it’s not what she wants and he dumps her. Why? because the Logan’s of this world just want a pretty wife to fit in with them and he can replace rory with someone else. Rory fantasises that logan will come back to her and give her the time and space to marry when it’s right but he doesn’t instead he finds someone else to fit the bill and then sleeps with her because she still holds those feelings for him and he can’t say no because the only person logan truly cares for is himself deep down. ultimately look at the parents if you want to see how the guy will turn out The gilmore girls is so intelligently written that it has to be based on a true story/ life experiences.
So we’re just gonna forget how Jess crashed her car and didn’t apologize for it? The car that DEAN built for her? How Dean was supportive of her going to Harvard. I swear people just see what they want to see.
also quotes from the show lorelai:she wants to go to Harvard Dean: she will and if she doesn't it wont be because of me Jess: I want to be with you rory but not yale not stars hollow we need to go somewhere else and start fresh people are always so quick to pick that one moment where dean snaps because shes been blowing him off to do stuff to get into Harvard and talking about leaving (to another state not 22.8 miles im sure dean looked it up too.) that they miss the rest of the episode where he says he's just upset and loves that shes going to Harvard and completely forget that Jess is the only boyfriend rory has ever had that asked her to leave yale to be with him. I'm not even team Dean and I like jess I just hate when things are taken out of context. both guys were both sometimes supportive and sometimes not.
hey guys! alot of people have been commenting so i just wanna say this one more time. This is not mine! also to me it made sense at the time where i was in the show.
The bad boy with a heart of gold
Ok
Exactly
Good psychology
Yes
I love that🫶🏻
Sure, but if you take a scene of Dean at the beginning of their relationship or when he dresses in a tux and tails for her, versus a scene of Jess when he's yelling at her about prom, you'll get the opposite result
Jess had his faults and blowouts at the worst possible moments but he actually grew into a better person. Dean's personality took a different trajectory and it was consistently that way, even after the break up with Rory and then the affair with her. Some people just take a while to show you who they really are. Sadly, that's how a lot of domestic abuse flies under the radar. The facade, the bright and caring beginnings, and then the flip side.
@beccasalt8960 yes, Jess eventually matured into a good person but he was abusive toward Rory when they were dating. Both Jess and Dean had their own issues they had to deal with. But when they were dating Roru, Dean was generally better toward her. I'm obviously not including the affair after he married Lindsay. But in the end, as can be seen in the revival, both Dean and Jess turned out ok. Dean just wasn't the one for Rory.
@@Sisters_Studiothat’s what i was thinking, dean was just always bad but it was more clear at the end
@@Sisters_Studio Anybody would. i doubt Jess would have even worn it.
yes thanks you
They screwed Deans character just so they could have Rory with Jess. I prefer Jess or Logan over Dean any day but Deans character changes were not organic. He loved supporting Rory’s ambitions and her passion for reading. They should’ve gone another route than just the angry and jealous boyfriend.
rightttt. I’m am a team Logan girl, the only reason I’m not Jess is because I hate how he was with Rory knowing she was with Dean. And I probably would’ve liked him if Rory just broke it off with Dean but she cheated and I never liked Jess form then. But her and Logan were so cute sooo 😅😅
It is actually very organic. Anyone who has been in a relationship with a secret misogynist who is secretly jealous of his smarter girlfriend have seen the exact same thing. I personally experienced it. We saw how he treated his wife.
Added bonus is that he was a teenager and struggled without any support with these ideas, not a full grown adult.
well then, if you have such a strong opinion, what route would you have suggested they go? because i think the route they went was perfect. if they went another route people wouldn’t have liked it and would have criticized it (like you are now) and then say “oh they should’ve made dean a jealous bf instead of _______ (what they did)” so no matter what they do, people will criticize it and recommend something else.
@@Thetrilingualreader totally agree. I had a similar situation when I started dating my first serious boyfriend.
He would always say how much he loved how quiet and bookish I was, but 5 years later I realised that he had basically pulled me away from all my friends and family, and I could never even talk about men I worked with without him sulking or punching the walls at home…
And he used to buy me books when we first started dating, but by year 2 he would start making a fuss about being quiet or not paying him enough attention, so I barely read at all by the end.
He slowly made me make him my entire world and I didn’t even realise until he left me without any warning, and I started to reflect on our life together.
I think sometimes men like the idea of a quiet bookish girl because they think they can manipulate them and keep them to themselves easier than a girl that’s a bit more outgoing. Sad really!
@CherryBlossomXX93 that is exactly what happened. he thought she can be pushed around and when the town rallies behind her he gaslights her. I am glad you got out. I got isolated by ppl i thought were my partners before so i know how it feels. Hugs!!
They were just kids! Jess was troubled, Dean was codependent, and Rory was figuring things out. But they grew up-Jess became an author and started Truncheon Books, and Dean settled into family life. Rory, though? She still seemed lost by the end. The affair, being a horrible girlfriend, no stable job, no home. Honestly, she was the worst of the three, if you ask me.
This 💯
Rory never grows up and in fact seems to grow more entitled and selfish 😔 😢
did you forget dean was the affair in question or
Rory was smart, attractive and went into politics. Obviously she met many wealthy men and probably married one. The fact that she didn't have her life together is extremely attractive to successful men who do.
@@sckmindfrudThere's at least one other affair after Dean
Did you forget that dean cheated on his wife?
they both were attentive to her, it only depends on the examples you put lol
Dean was actually really excited for Rory to go to Harvard and after the argument with her grandfather said that Rory’s going to Harvard and he’s not going to hold her back.
Team dean will literally do anything to defend him fr fr
@@IHeartExisting Believe me I am not "team Dean" but I can see that he did want Rory to go to Harvard and that argument is completely invalid because he was upset and they were in a fight. The video disregards everything else Dean said about Harvard and completely blows what he said out of proportion, so it's really team Jess that would do anything to defend him "fr fr" if this invalid example is the only thing they can find.
@@rosedurber9308 Exactly
@@IHeartExisting Wtf are u even saying? Dean respected Rory while Jess literally tried to RAPE her 🤦🏻♀️
I am most definitely not team Dean, but that first argument was definitely Rory’s fault. He wanted to hang out with her multiple times and she kept blowing him off.
I have always thought the one clip of Dean choosing to read her book recommendation is sweet. They have different hobbies and things that they enjoy but he was still willing to read the books she gave him even if he didn’t have the same enthusiasm
I thought so too!
I just love how they pick the few scenes where Dean didnt act good and then pick the few scenes where Rory and Jesse weren't fighting just perfect
Dean had plenty of worser moments, even in the earlier seasons. Jess was obviously no saint but you make it sound like Dean was “good” the majority of the time and Jess and Rory were fighting anymore than Rory and Dean which is just not true, if anything it all averages out. Both characters were flawed so yeah the video puts Jess in a better light, but when it came to Rory’s interests, this is how they communicated in regard to those interests.
"Do you Yahoo?" 😁 for the oldies))
I just google it 😂
Dean was great to rory the new writers just screwed him up . Season 1 towards the middle rory brought dean to dinner with her grandparents one sentence i remember is “ im not stopping rory from going to harvard , shes smart and she deserves to go there” and some more sentances i cant rememember moral of the story is that dean wanted rory to go to harvard he was actually pretty supportive too. Both jess and dean were great boyfriends it just depends on the situation and the writer.
Season 1 dean was amazing
I mean but it also shows that with time and maturing and growing up your mind changes sometimes.
No, there were no new writers until the last season. Amy Sherman palidino and her husband were the main writers until season 7. The dean and Jess stuff was all done by then. They changed dean’s character to make him less likable as the seasons went on so that the audience would be ok with her being separated from him. The last part is my theory but new writers are not who made dean unlikable that was the original writers. I’m about 99% sure dean wasn’t in the last season, in fact I think his last episode was in season five when Luke and dean have to pick up a cannon ball together and they get into it.
For people who didn't know this, at the end of the revival, a year in the life, Dean and Rory met again. In Rory's own words after seeing how good, settled and happy he looked, she finally confessed to him " you were the greatest boyfriend alive, generous, protective, kind and strong. That as much as I wish we'd met when I was older and more mature, if I hadn't had you with me then, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. That you taught me what safe feels like." Now, it's safe to say that people don't generally say these kind of things about someone who wasn't good to them right? Like the video tried to make it seem. Even till the moment when she was with Jess and the reason why she even went back to Dean were because of these qualities, she never truly understood what they meant back then or how important they were in a relationship until she became mature. Lorelai knew and that was why out of all the boyfriends she ever had, none came close to gaining her approval like Dean. Jess never understood or tolerated their antics or family dynamic, even stormed out of the dinner at her grandparents house even though he was never shamed or harrass like Dean was when he went there. It was Rory who even got upset and walked out while Dean apologised, upset but calmly went after her. The reason why she left Dean was simple, he had loved her more than she did him and she wanted to not be idolised like everyone else around her, anyone can see that, which was also the same reason why he broke up with her for the final time. He had a wake up call and realised that he deserved love and Rory was not going to be the one to give him that. He could never truly measure up to the golden girl in everyone's eyes, whose feet was not allowed to even touch the ground. And if he has to make something of himself, follow his own path, they can't be together because if they are, he'll only be trying to live up to her expectations and her family's standards. Like she said earlier, if they had met later on when she was more mature, she would've cherished and respected the relationship more.
Honestly, I am happy for Dean and how his life turned out. He finally got that home and family that he had always wanted without being judged for wanting it, with Rory his life was just a bad case of horrible decisions, later on we could clearly see that he sought growth, unfortunately he didn't see it with her.
This is my take on their relationship☺️
This 👏
What is the name of the show?
@@miriamkapelaortega267 Gilmore Girls
They both had their drawbacks.
I believe this reel knit picked the “good scenes” of Jess. Jess was the one who didn’t care about her dreams but just wanted to be with her. He was too troubled and angry with life for his own reasons. If he cared soo much about Yale why did he show up at Yale’s dorm room and asked Rory to run away with him and leave everything behind her?
He did talk to her and asked her to go back to Yale. But it wasn’t just him that made her go back there were other reasons. Rory is also very entitled, the moment her community hours got over and her will to work for DAR she immediately left her grandparents’ house even without saying a basic courtesy thank you.
Dean character got ruined as Rory made him feel like dirt. He was also a child there and didn’t want to let go of her that easily. She kissed Tristan and never told Dean. She kissed Jess and still decided to be with Dean because Jess was not available at that time.
All of these characters are extremely grey characters it’s almost impossible to choose in between these characters. But a person like Jess who was only nice to Rory not even to Lorelai or Luke who helped him out a lot speaks more about how much he cared for her. He just wanted her to be his girlfriend, however Rory is a person who deeply cares for her mother and Luke and Grandparents etc and they never got the treatment Dean or Logan gave.
Just reading the same books doesn’t mean you can talk forever to each other. Jess was also the one who forced her to have sex when she was not ready and immediately got mad at her when she didn’t want to.
Jess at every opportunity given managed to hurt Rory and even her mother. He left Rory after making sure “she is okay” out of guilt or whatever but he should’ve been there and taken accountability. Rory should have also been yelled at by Lorelai.
Exactly, Jess was always the bad influence since he would encourage Rory to hide things from Lorelai. He changed at the end but before that, he was just a jerk.

Lol
@@user-hl1ct3yh1rgurrrl you in danger
Exactly, he was the best guy from all the boyfriends Rory had. She never deserved him
this only really shows Dean's shitty moments which isn't really fair, because he was just a kid and DID actually support Rory and want her to go to Harvard, he was just scared that he'd lose her..
Team Logan. He pushed her, supported her, and didn't let her get away with her crap. Everyone else did because "Rory could do no wrong" and he actually held her accountable.
And he never maliciously embarrassed her in front of other people. Dean made it a point to break up with her in a crowded room (the dance a thon then at her birthday party). Jess just always let her down.
Estas son las únicas partes buenas de Jess, cuando tenia que ver con libros. El 90% del tiempo estaba enojado o aburrido siendo un adolescente orgulloso.
Dean is great too but he had his moments they both did
She's one lucky girl
That moment:" Do we (do) break up (when you progress/excel in whatever you are planning to do next)" is the story of my life 💃💎
Dean apologized for that and supported her going to Harvard and prioritaring that.
I always was (and be) team Jess. He was the only one who genuinely cared about what she wanted (and pushed her to realize what was her dreams) and didn’t make her loose who she was.
My favorite was when he just left without saying a word🥰
Loved Jess!!! I was shocked they dated in real life, they make a cute couple
I do love Jared's (Dean's) acting, he did though, come off a bit jealous and angry which I don't think was ok, but throughout the whole time they were together I was wishing they we're endgame. My favorite show of Jared's is Supernatural though I love the way he plays Sam and I think he was really good at it and really into character
Initially Dean's character was supposed to be more like Rory's, but they started to go in a different direction because they wanted there to be a contrast between the two in terms of interests and hobbies. In the first few episodes Dean also has an interest in readingthe same books as Rory does, but by the time of their renewed relationship he seems to have lost all interest in the same things she likes. That's not to say he wasn't supportive of everything she did, because he was, but he was also afraid of losing her like he already had done once before. That's why he became clingy and jealous, and then rightly paranoid because he recognised Jess trying to cause problems just because he thought it was fun, and because he liked the challenge of getting Rory to like him; something which Jess echoes later when she asks him to go to the winter carnival with her and he tells her that now they're together he no longer has to pretend to want to go to these things with her. Jess has no interest in getting to know her family, something Dean did despite knowing how ruthless they could be; remaining polite to Emily even after Richard ripped him apart and later standing up to Richard in regard to his feelings for Rory. Jess has no interest in getting to know Rory's friends, in particular whenever Lane is around Jess is sarcastic, stand-offish and rude even though Lane is doing her best to look passed her previous issues with him.
They're all emotionally imature, they're teenagers, but Dean and Rory were able to communicate much better because Jess was so emotionally traumatised by his upbringing. I understand and can empathise with Jess's plight (hurt people hurt people), however this is no reason to treat others poorly, especially people who've shown nothing but patience, understanding and a genuine willingness to help him. He continues to skip school, he continues to lie to everyone, he continues to cause problems for others. He doesn't change until after Rory is already in a relationship with Logan. And lets not forget the scene in Kyle's bedroom where he tries to pressure Rory into sex and then gets mad at her when she says she doesn't want to. You can put that down to all the other inner turmoil that's been building in him for a long time that finally explodes, BUT he also decides that's what he wants to do instead of talk to her about what's going on with him, and blows up when she just wants to talk. Yeah, Dean punches him because he thinks (and in this case is right on the money) that something inappropriate happened upstairs with Rory. Rory might be crying for a different reason but what Dean suspects happened was on the right wavelength. The fist fight between Dean and Jess was always coming, the way it was written in was down to happenstance; Dean just happened to be on the stairs when Rory came down crying, they could have written in that she bumped into anyone else or no one at all, but we all knew it would happen and I think a lot of people were waiting for it to happen, even wanted it to happen.
Rory says it multiple times that Dean always made her feel safe, secure and loved, whereas she says Jess is unpredictible and leaves her confused and insecure in their relationship. In the beginning it's the mystery and intrigue of him being unpredictable that drew Rory to Jess in the first place. I think Lorelai really hit the nail on the head when she said "I think Rory's 17, it's probably about time for a Jess."
Dean was slowly being written out because Jared's new role as a main character of Supernatural was requiring more of his time, which is why we slowly start to see less and less of Dean, until we barely see him at all. Jess was supposedly written in because Chad Michael Murray was leaving to pursue other roles like One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek, so Rory could have ended up with Tristan and I know a lot of people wanted to see that happen too.
Those writers are the experts of destroying characters whom they had created. They introduced Dean as a tall , handsome, sweet and kind boy and then they made Dean kept yelling out Rory in front of the other people and Dean didn’t care her ambitions or feelings. They introduced Rory’s father Christopher as a handsome, cool and successful man who was enough to be a partner of Rory’s mom. However they made Christopher live with a chick girl during he kept meeting Rory and Rory’s mom regularly and the chick girl was pregnant. And they made Rory like an angel when she went to her high school. Then they made her give up to go to Harvard and be away from Yale and she had sex with Dean after Dean became a husband of the other girl. Those writers were just mean to their characters
Sadly it's pretty realistic
I mean, that's pretty much how life really is. I loved the show just as it was. In fact, I restarted watching the other day. It's a good one for autumn and winter. People are not all good or all bad... Except in south american telenovelas which are just a pain. 😅

' Do you ever Yahoo'? 🤣 The world before Google took over
“do you yahoo?” is such a throwback omg
Team Marty. Unpopular opinion but he was hardworking and kind and not a rich spoiled trust fund kid. I could never be team Jess after he pressured her for sex at that party. And I could never be team Dean after how he treated Lindsey
Rory was the rich spoilt kid with not one, but two trust funds. Marty, if he wanted a heiress, deserved to at least pick a self-aware one.
The main reason that opinion should be unpopular is that Marty hurt his girlfriend by lying about knowing Rory (and Rory didn't want to hurt either of them so felt pressured to go along with his lie just in case) which then hurt Rory by damaging his girlfriend's friendship with Rory when the girlfriend eventually found out. I think he was fine until that point.
Jess was the only character who became better over time.
I hate that Marty had to have a crush on her there relationship was enough when they were friends it was good
Marty if a typical "nice guy". He didn't have the balls to pursue her and then resented her for going out with other guys. Then he hurt his girlfriend and put Rory in a horrible position with his lies. Rory should have exposed him right away

I think one of the things I love the most about GG is how realistic it is. Rory had everything she needed to have the "perfect" life but she still struggled and ended up being lost and confused at 32...thinking back to easier times. I related SO much to that. As for the love triangle...Jesse was always my favorite character. He was pretty much the only one who grew and changed over time....Luke too. ❤
Jess, dean and Logan. All good boyfriends to Rory in their own ways. Comparing Jess to dean and dean to Jess is a very different conversation. Jess was the “bad boy” but he had a soft spot for Rory. Dean was the supportive boyfriend, as well as Jess. They were two totally different people. Jess had more pressure and dean LOVED Rory. Dean was much more stressed but Jess more pressured. They were two people, some same qualities but different views. Logan was perfect in a way for Rory. Rory grew to adapt to her grandparents lifestyle and Logan was in that way already. They both had similar personalities. They all had a good match and in the end, Rory chose Logan.
For a single second though I would not portray dean as the worse boyfriend. Jess if anything was the worse boyfriend. That’s a whole different conversation.
Who does anyone like more? Dean? Jess? Or Logan? :)
The dishonesty 😂😂😂
Its a young Sam Winchester. I used to love this show, i always dreamt that mine and my daughters relationship woupd be the same, it wasn't when she was a teenager, she was the devil, now though, in her 20's shes my best friend ❤
Jared played a character named Dean? That’s hilarious.
Every time I hear someone say "excuuuse me" and they don't say "princess" a little part of my brain melts
And then Jess left her out of nowhere without a word
Logan was the real deal! Jess had his own problems, Logan didn't have commitment issues, he was calm cool, He never cheated on Rory when they were dating, except when he thought they have broken up... He never forced Rory to get intimate which jess once tried, jess left Rory without any explanation, whereas logan actually wanted to marry her post her graduation, and Rory actually liked the money and luxury which logan had.
This is so cute omgg
They both had their moments. Jess had times when he was a jerk too.
Was she more compatible with Jess on a certain level? Sure, but Rory was someone who needed someone with wildly different views and tastes in her life because it challenged her in a whole new way other than just intellectually. She was so enmeshed with her mom and grandparents, it was refreshing to see her interact with someone that didn’t just fit neatly into her long term plans. Besides, deep down she longed for something completely different, not a more rebellious version of herself. Idk if any of her love interests was "the one" but I preferred who she was becoming while with Dean than Jess
Who was she becoming?
@melodyclark1944 Someone who could lead a life outside of her family's lifelong expectations. Imo a big part of the reason she failed to launch is because of her codependency with Lorelei and Jess was definitely all about breaking that apart
Superbly stated. We tend to grow exponentially more when we are challenged. 🥀
Yes! Amazing I totally agree
funnily enough jess was similar to her yet soo differnt that he challenged her very well
Jess was just the bomb. He was troubled understandably, he had two parents, neither of whom seemed to want to know him (at first), and it messed him up. But Luke givinv him stability and a decent role model sorted his ass out. He always had the potential, he just needed the support of a good parental figure.
By the revival hes an infinitely better person than Rory. He knows the value of hard work and she's still trying to sell the child prodigy angle despite being an average adult and wondering why she isnt being praised. Her mother and her grandparents set her up for failure, despite being loving, but shes an adult and should hold herself responsible now, like Jess does.
Paris was always the best example of what actually working hard looks like on the show, and lo, she's a succesful fertility doctor.
Sam Winchester and Jack Pearson were on this show!? This might be my real sign to watch.
It's a great show. Watch it!
Oh...Dean!😂
jess is so much better, i liked him the moment he came on the show!
LOVE LOVE LOVE JESS. WILL ALWAYS BE TEAM JESS
Always said it. Jess acts like shes “above “ him in the sense that hes here to SUPPORT her. See what SHE does as a whole separate human from himself
Ppl can shoot on his momma all they want but she prepared him for the new age woman & how to be a side kick not their whole gd world.
Dean needs someone from the 1800s and so on who wants to live for another person.
And even then thats murky waters.
Forreeal I LOOOOVED jess
As someone who has never seen this show, reading all the comments talking about "Dean" who I'm guessing is played by jared padalecki has been very disorientating 😂😂
Team Jess, everyday all day 💯 💙
As Rory said, Dean was the best bf! He literally loved everything of Rory. Jess only started liking her for how she looked. Dean instead looked at her reading, her habits and decided to ask her out on a date. TEAM DEAN FOR LIFE
Forever Literati 🥹❤️
To fair about the college thing, Harvard is a lot farther away than Yale so I get Dean’s concern. Had Rory been all about Yale from the beginning, they probably would’ve worked around it better. It’s just funny that with Dean, Rory was going far away for college but by the time Jess comes around, she’s staying in CT.
Jess had trauma to work through and maturing to do. In the movies, he seemed to have progressed beautifully.
I don't love the idea of suggesting that Rory -or any woman ever- has to end up committing to any one man. Marriage is not a requirement nor a symptom of success. Rory is a whole, beautiful, capable person all by herself.
That being said, of her three main love interests in the series, I pick Jess every time. (And I've seen the series all the way through about 7-8 times.) He's smart and ambitious like her. He's confident but not arrogant. He's a bit rough around the edges, but he's actually sweet and well-meaning. He's witty, creative, industrious when he wants to be, and can keep up with Rory's intellect and sense of adventure. He cares about Jess enough to want what's best for her, even if that means them being apart. He just needed to grow up and work on himself, and he did.
He wasn't perfect but tried to be better for her and that's what mattered, Dean was just "the good guy" but ended up being self centered
The way Dean reacted to rory not loving him back yet, that's the moment I decided Dean wasn't healthy for her. And then lorelei defending his behaviour is when I stopped rewatching the show :p
dean was actually a really good boyfriend.
OMG I STARTED TO CRY WHEN DEAN GOT MARRIED LIKE UGHHHHHH
I feel like the longer they’re together the more Dean gets scared. They break up for nonsensical reason and he realizes that this relationship isn’t permanent so when they get back together, he acts scared for the rest of the relationship when initially he was just himself and they were just them. It eventually pushes Rory away because she also knows that this relationship isn’t permanent and there will be other boys. Her fear is more that she’ll stay for the sake of staying. It’s why she can’t break up with Dean when she knows she likes Jess.
I loved Jess, was my favorite. Biased because I like dark haired guys 😂 and 'bad' guys to a degree (he was actually pretty cool and not such a bad guy after all). I was bummed they didn't end up together. 😅
I love how they picked jess's only best moments. Lets not talk about how purposely put himself between Rory and Dean, to be selfish. How Rory ended up in a cast because of him.
But he also left her without a word more than once… Logan was my favorite even though he’s not my type. Treated her better than the other two (when they were actually together)
😍 Jess was probably my like my 5th crush
You know no one of them was the "perfect" fit for Rory. Rory changes as they did too. Also you have to consider that they are all teenagers here. Though the problem with Jess is that he just treated Rory nicely (sometimes) and everyone around him like shit (most of the time). He treated Rory nicely because he wanted to HAVE her. That's a difference and not good in a partner EVER. It's just important to point that out for everyone.
Dean wasn't a saint too. Of course he did mistakes, said bad things and was controlling and unsure of himself and with his feelings (especially with being jealous). Again I want to point out that they are teenagers here, most adults have problems with that in real life. Most of the time no one in this series could communicate proper anyway also they learned. I think the show is about they learning to get along with each other and in a society anyways.
The main difference with Dean is that he was nice to everyone in a way and not just to Rory. Also he had his bad moments too.
I love how Logan isn't even considered here😂😂.
Down for a coloring book. Also just an idea but consider thing you say to put in there too. Maybe a 🦆 emoji for the last page lol
The difference between them even tho Jess had some minuses, some really big ones he always supported Rory, dean was more worried about this and that and how it would affect him, his first question was when you leave do we break up he didn’t even try to plan to make it work
I'd say that the difference is that Dean never sexually assaulted her, but hey, to each their own.
OK, but having someone pay so you can go to Havard for journalism of all things is the dumbest plot I've ever heard. Medical school, I understand, journalism I don't.
jess was the best
Dean was the person she met when she was still at stars hollow high but she and her lifechanged quite quickly once she was at chiltern snd dean really didn’t fit in with that new life
he was slightly controlling and could very easily be perceived as becoming more controlling as the relationship progressed. There are some red flags in the way he talks about housewife’s, gets angry and possessive and the fact he sleeps with rory and disrespects his wife. it’s also a strange reaction to break up with a 16yo girl because she hasn’t said she loves you back after 3 months of dating. This teaches rory that if she doesn’t respond in the way that he expects when he wants it he will punish her. It’s surprising that Lorelie doesn’t speak up on this more.
dean wanted more traditional small town values from the start and rory wanted more plus he is possibly a low key domestic abuser in the making.
it just wasn’t ever going to go the long haul because the kind of girl dean would attract is going to be someone that dean can provide for and feel like the big man around.
jess met her when she was already at chiltern and had harvard in her sights. jess liked her as a friend even when she was with dean this gave her the freedom to explore their relationship on more of a friendly basis to start with not just 0-100. Rory like her mum needs that sense of freedom. Jess gives her that
Jess consistently looks up to rory and holds her on a pedestal. I think jess was willing to adapt to rory’s life changing and therefore would have been the one to go long haul with
Logan was the charming rich guy that we all fall for with the good looks and trust fund looks like the perfect happy ending on the surface but dig a little deeper and you find he is a narcissist just like his dad and ultimately wants rory to marry him and fit in with his whimsical ways so that he can have her on his arm wherever he ends up going following his ties to his dads wallet. Rory says no because it’s not what she wants and he dumps her. Why? because the Logan’s of this world just want a pretty wife to fit in with them and he can replace rory with someone else.
Rory fantasises that logan will come back to her and give her the time and space to marry when it’s right but he doesn’t instead he finds someone else to fit the bill and then sleeps with her because she still holds those feelings for him and he can’t say no because the only person logan truly cares for is himself deep down. ultimately look at the parents if you want to see how the guy will turn out
The gilmore girls is so intelligently written that it has to be based on a true story/ life experiences.
Jess is the best. 💜💜💜💜
If Jess had just not left Stars Hollow and Rory, he wouldnt have died so young leaving the tripplets and Mandy Moore... So sad...
Do you yahoo? Truly a product of its time 😂
Rory Gilmore is insufferable. She had no self confidence and no real opinions of her own.
I wish Jess and Rory got married they were so flippin cute
I wish Milo and Alexis got married! 😂 But they split up. (I liked Jess, too)
So we’re just gonna forget how Jess crashed her car and didn’t apologize for it? The car that DEAN built for her? How Dean was supportive of her going to Harvard. I swear people just see what they want to see.
Jess understood Rory.
Great video I'm definitely team Jess!

There is an obvious age difference between these 2 couples that explains the maturity difference
also quotes from the show
lorelai:she wants to go to Harvard
Dean: she will and if she doesn't it wont be because of me
Jess: I want to be with you rory but not yale not stars hollow we need to go somewhere else and start fresh
people are always so quick to pick that one moment where dean snaps because shes been blowing him off to do stuff to get into Harvard and talking about leaving (to another state not 22.8 miles im sure dean looked it up too.) that they miss the rest of the episode where he says he's just upset and loves that shes going to Harvard and completely forget that Jess is the only boyfriend rory has ever had that asked her to leave yale to be with him.
I'm not even team Dean and I like jess I just hate when things are taken out of context. both guys were both sometimes supportive and sometimes not.
