It’s really ironic that a women who got pregnant at 16, didnt graduate high school or get a college degree till she was in her thirties is far more successful then a girl who had everything even went to an Ivy League and let’s not forget had a trust fund. It’s kind of a slap in the face to Lorelai with the kind of women Rory turned out to be but that’s just my opinion
Someones value isnt in their achivements.. Rory was never meant to be a perfect character. People need to see how THEY put her on the high standard that was so unrealistic. She makes a lot of mistakes, can be selfish. But she is not a bad person. So no, it wouldnt be a slap in the face to Lorelai. It goes to show how Schooling doesnt mean anything really. It's important to note- Rory is at the age here that her mother was when the show started. Lorelai didnt have much to her name then. So it's harsh to judge Rory so much. She is still growing as a person. What do you expect from her? and maybe that says more about you and the high demands others put on you then it says about a early 30's woman. Yeah Paris has this big successful career but she let her marriage fall apart and is a shit mother. Rory has as many amazing qulities as she has 'negative ones' so stop dumping on her a little.
@@ghouling1111 I’m not saying Rory needs to be perfect and I do understand that people are allowed to make mistakes but sleeping with a man who’s engaged how is that okay? By any means do I expect her to have her whole entire life together but some of the choices she has made are just not okay. Rory did not learn from the first time she ruined a marriage. I understand she was 18 when it first happened but she is now in her 30’s there’s no more excuses. There are people who have nothing and find a way to do great things in life. Rory had everything and did nothing. Like you said Lorelai had nothing to her name yet she managed to do great in life and try to be a good example for her daughter. So what excuse does Rory have for turning out the way she did. Yes Paris marriage failed and she isn’t the best mother but she’s still doing better. She went from being rich to being broke and found a way to be rich again on her own. Even dean grew as a person and Jess. Although everyone is different Rory has no one else to blame but herself for how things turned out for her.
The writers took a huge shit on her character the moment she went to Yale. She became so entitled and spoiled, but acted like she had no advantages in life. And now she just absolutely sucks as a person. Hopefully they come out with another season and they redeem her as a person but I doubt that happens.
@@ghouling1111 Rory was willing to sacrifice her relationship with her mom to write a book at 32 so she doesn't have to take jobs she doesn't want (selfish to the extreme - who even knows if her book will be successful and how much she'd actually get from it) whereas Lorelai when she was at the same age was willing to grovel to her parents for money for Rory's education (which everyone can empathize with). This is who Rory IS. Remember she was willing to sacrifice Chilton for a boy she had just met at the time, cheated on said boy while in high school and then cheated with him while in college and he was married. I thought it was telling we never saw Rory feel real remorse for her actions in hurting Lindsay and the fact the show tried to spin it as though Lindsay' and her mom were the villains was very telling. Oh and in the revival was cheating with Logan while she had been dating her bf for two years.
@@ghouling1111 No one expected her to be "perfect." Just not such a loser. Rory could have been working at Lorelai's inn, living within her means; running the town newspaper as a volunteer, instead of running through her trust fund flying to England several times a year, and broke pursuing a dream for 10 years instead of accepting it was not going to happen after 2 or 3 years as any sensible person would have done. Yes, in the eyes of the world she still would have been unsuccessful if she had worked for her mother and volunteered for no salary to run the town newspaper, but she would have been self supporting and doing something she loved.
Like her last 2 narcissistic boyfriends yeah. Jess wouldn't give up until he destroyed a nice relationship so he could have rory, acted like an angry jackass 99,9% of the time, force himself in rory's house uninvited so he could spend time with her and dean would make a scene, kept everything hidden like a coward, left like a coward without a word and logan who constanly manipulated and gaslighted her from day one until they unrealistically transformed him into a nice guy who cheats on his future wife. In season one i noticed rory seems selfish and self centered in her friendship with lane. She never deserved dean. Not to mention alexis acting is sooo baaad especially as she got older. Gosh! Stiff woman!
That so-called BURN is so rich coming from Lorelai who couldn't quit Luke😾Heck, she didn't even really make an effort to make her marriage to Chris work. She is a grown woman and she agreed to marry Chris finally. He thought she may be all in this time bc before she was complaining that Chris was immature and couldn't handle being a family man. Well, he's matured and can certainly be relied upon. He's paying for Rory's education. He is now financially well-off but he's still holding down a good job, not sitting around doing nothing. He certainly loves her even after all these years and not holding her previous relationships against her. What he couldn't accept is to play second fiddle to Luke which is of course very understandable. What did Lorelai do? She didn't handle that writing a "reference letter" for Luke well. If she explained it to Chris beforehand, then, he most probably understood the situation. Instead, she never said anything and Chris was shocked to read the contents. Lorelai is so stubborn at times. Emily warned her that marriage is a compromise and Rory questioned the fact that she was hiding this letter from Chris. Well, both Emily and Rory were right all along. It's Lorelai who acted immaturely in this instance. She thinks she doesn't have to listen to anyone else. She tries to help others fix their problems, but when it comes to her own, she's very bad at it.
@@cibazyx4138 I think there is no doubt that she handled the letter situation all wrong. But I don't think that's what broke their marriage - if they were meant to be this would be something they could have worked out. I think it was like Lorelai said, she wanted it to be Christopher so much. She got her heartbroken when he left her for Sherry but still had so much love and respect for Christopher. When the timing finally seemed "right" (which it never really is...) she went all in thinking this was their chance after all these years. Well, Christopher went all in with the proposal and she thought "If I say no it will be over forever' so she took the risk because she never gave up on him. Of course it didn't work out. But they tried. I really do think Lorelai made an effort she always did with Christopher no matter the situation (and there were some really crappy ones). But then reality hit them and they both faced the truth. Had to face the truth... and have closure.
troeler the marriage broke Cause she wasn’t enough in love with Christopher ... Luke was always the love of her life and Chris got that when he read the letter
@@cibazyx4138 Lorelai was sometimes rash by jumping from Luke, to Chris, back to Luke, but at least she made sure she was broken up. Rory emotionally cheated on Dean with Jess. Kissed Jess while she was still with Dean. She also slept with a very married Dean. She later goes on to sleep with a wookie and cheat with Logan on his fiance, all while never quite breaking up with Paul. Not to mention, Chris is weak. Everyone knows it and just accepts it. Even Emily said it to his face. When things get tough, he runs. He's used to bolting, that's y it was so ironic he got Christopher-ed by Sherry
Lorelai is certainly far from being the best relationship role model, but she's never been an adulterer. Luke was single and I don't believe Lore ever would have cheated on Chris. She has major issues when it comes to how she deals with her relationships, but she was never as cavalier with people's feelings as Rory is.
Rory's fatal flaw is pride. She's too prideful to take a normal/average job, she's too prideful to ask Logan to marry her, and she's too prideful to admit her mistakes. Lorelei's flaw is her independence. She doesn't know how to compromise with people. It's always her way or the highway. Luke's flaw is that he's slow. That's why he's a hermit and took forever to ask Lorelei out. Logan's flaw is his victim mentality. Instead of actually making the most of his resources, he constantly feels sorry for himself and drags everyone else down with him
Lorelai flaw was that she was never a "mother" to Rory but a friend. Therefore she didnt understand why Rory didnt have the same reverence to her as child would their mother. Lorelai dumped Rory as a baby to be raised by her parents, while Lorelai not wanting to accept the responsibility of parenthood could be "indepedent and have fun". Rory was loved and spoiled by her grandparents and never was resentful to lorelai outwardly but there were moments that give a way that rory didnt have respect for Lorelai as a mother because for most her life she wasnt one.
@@C-eo1rtI'm confused. When did Lorelai leave Rory to be raised by her parents? She spent a significant part of the show and Rory's life trying to keep her from her parents.
Exactly. And she totally could have written gilmore girls from her perspective. And it would have been great. What is wrong with grad school Or teaching at Chilton for a bit. Or the other jobs she was offered. Like you take what is there and work your way to your dream
Exactly she needs to learn to grow up and realize there’s things you have to do just to survive before you make it you know you’re not just get big suddenly
@@songriver1232 She still thinks her Chilton and Yale schooling, as well as one byline immediately means she should be Christiane Amanpour, and be handed highly-paid high-prestige jobs that do not require her finding leads, chasing stories, and pitching them. I guarantee Amanpour hustled, much like we see the fictional Lois Lane do. Neither would try the "fake it til you make it" approach Rory seems to be playing at...and I'm pretty sure neither would be spending their time/resources flying to England to bang an ex who is engaged to someone. I'm not a journalist, but I imagine right now it's an occupation of constant seeking, chasing, and hustling.
Rory: I have no money and no job and I'm pregnant. Also Rory: is renting an apartment in one of the most expensive cities in the world. With a 'dedicated writing space'.
@@amiann6901 Yea but she would've most likely had access to all of these trust funds already when she said she was broke. I agree it's hard to believe that she blew through so much money considering she is the sole heir of 2 very wealthy families but since she's hell bent on living in NY and has no job, she's clearly an idiot when it comes to money and finances. Also, throughout this revival we NEVER hear about any actual job that Rory has ever had. She had the temp job with the online newspaper and she's written a couple of pieces for various publications but she doesn't seem to have EVER had any sort of consistent job. When you're living in New York, flying to London for an affair all the time (I doubt Rory is smart enough to make Naomi pay for her travel), and you aren't making any money. Well you can burn through money pretty quickly.
It's kinda sad that the only thing Rory can do after all that studying, all that reading and intrest in journalism is write a book about her life. The revival clearly shows she was never cut out for journalism (I used to wonder about that watching the original series, because Rory was always so sheltered) and maybe the only thing she was ever good at was studying. And that will only get you to a certain point in life.
It's even worse, the book is not about her life, it's more about her mother's life. Lorelai is a real woman since she was young and had a interested life. Rory is just a spoiled girl.
@@magnified101 oh yeah, I'm not saying it's not realistic, you meet people like that irl, but I guess that the show never truely addresses that fact, Rory has troubles but is still made to look great to the viewer.
I hate that Lorelei said yes in the end. More of Rory getting what she wanted, and not thinking about others and their feelings. Rory is well aware of Lorelei and Emily’s relationship. She honestly didn’t consider how traumatizing it would be to BOTH of them to relive it? We’ve seen how Emily continues to bring it up, decades later. It will simply hurt others.
I think it was important that she gave in. A big part of the theme of the show as a whole and especially the revival is how wealth and privilege allows for mistakes. Rory is shown messing up her life both professionally and personally. But the theme is not that privilege inevitably leads to failure. The theme is that privilege leads to second chances that others never get. Rory will eventually succeed because despite her professional failures she has the space and time to wander aimlessly until finding something that is really her passion(the book). This is contrasted with Lane and her husband who have no choice but to take on jobs to make ends meet. It is also strongly hinted that Jess and Rory will eventually find one another again. Again this is due to privilege . For a normal person cheating on people and stringing along relationships will eventually poison your chances at romantic success. But Rory is not normal. She is unnaturally good looking and charming. This is contrasted with Paris. Paris puts real effort into her romantic relationships but because she was not naturally beautiful(I realize the the actor is actually pretty but in universe she is not) or charming she gets no second chance.
@@peterisawesomeplease still, lorelai does admittedly deserve it in a way, as she was the one who turned rory into a sociopathic mess in the first place
Can someone please explain to me why she never went into publishing. Think about it: a) she spent more time reading books than she did reading a newspaper, b) she spent a lot of time in the Yale library, c) she never really had what it took to be a journalist aside from having her main hero be a female journalist. I might be the only but maybe should have majored in library and information science, or English literature, or anything other than journalism.
Yes! I agree! Also I think that Jess was the one for her, because he has always challanged her. He always knew how to shake her - school, the book etc Ever noticed that she went for Logan, after she found out who his father is?
Well she would have made an amazing researcher or assistant - just like mitchum said... Both him and Logan were right about her: Logan when he said she's sheltered, needs a little adventure and needs to get involved in order to be a good journalist and later saying she's entitled and privileged without ever acknowledging that Mitchum was harsh in the way he said it but he's very observant! She was great as an assistant at the newspaper but she didn't put herself out there when it came to the actual journalism. Only doing what was asked of her and not thinking on her feet and how she could get involved That perfectly showed in her attitude and work ethic later in a year in the life. Tho marrying Logan would have been way too early for her, it might have helped her in the sense that she would have had a stable place and job at a local but not too crazy newspaper since she was never cut out for the on the road "dirty" journalism that she ended up persuing. And let's face it, she couldn't quit Logan later and if they had stayed together they wouldn't have both deteriorated to becoming cheaters or would have become boring.
Rory is such a spoiled little brat. It's so unfortunate to see that Mitchum was right abt Rory. She didn't have it. To me, it makes sense for her to be a professor and/or a fiction writer. She loved reading books growing up, but respect ur mom if she doesn't want her personal life out there. Don't throw an "I need this!" tantrum at 32yo
I really wished Rory had gone back to Grad School to teach at Chilton (in my mind she does in the future while having her kid), it seems like a perfect job for her rather than this career in Journalism she clearly wasn’t cut out for.
She cant write the book from Lorelai's perspective, because only Lorelai could do that. It doesn't matter how close you are. It wasn't Rory's place to be upset at her mother not being okay with Rory telling her life story. Like you didn't even ask first, just assumed you'd be able to tell everything about your mom. Her character is just so intolerable
@@lexbain she legit said "it's about YOUR story BEFORE you came to stars hollow". That's not hers to tell, or to get upset about Lorelai not wanting her to tell.
To me Rory was telling their story, hers and Lorelai's; as a child raised by a single mother whose wealthy parents had turned their backs on her when she got pregnant at 16 and she would not allow them to call the shots for how she raised her child. That is why the book title is "Gilmore Girls." It is those 2. Lorelai still a girl herself growing up along side her baby, Rory. Have you forgotten they only saw Lorelai's parents at Thanksgiving and Christmas until Lorelai took that loan for Rory's schooling? We were told in season 1 how her mom made it work in spite of not having their support, found a job as a maid at a B & B and lived in a shed on the property; (how could you forget how shocked Emily was when Rory showed her where they had lived) later getting her GED, going to business school and working her way up to manager of the Inn and later buying an inn with partners. Very little needs to be said about Lorelai's and Emily's relationship. The focus could have been on Lorelai raising Rory, having almost nothing but still doing a good job for being so young.
God Rory was so intolerable in this revival. She was such a spoiled brat throughout the whole show and then in the revival she was so much worse. She felt like everyone should hand her things and that she should get everything and when she doesn’t get her way she pushes people and throws tantrums to get it. Honestly after ten years she didn’t mature or progress at all. I was so upset because for the first couple of seasons, up to season four I loved her character.
Don't forget her ugly "I'm-too-good-to-be-a-teacher" moment. That part really made me question the whole core of Rory's character, even from back in the original run of the show. Like, if that's always how she felt, then her shining moments of scholastic achievement feel a little bit hollow looking back, like they never really meant that much to her.
Pay Cunha YES. I’m so glad someone actually pointed out how much of an entitled brat she actually was. It pissed me off so much, i kept hating her more and more, and not just her, but Lorelai and all the other characters for spoiling her.
Lee Almonte I don’t think it was im too good to be a teacher, i think it was more of a realisation that she was not doing what she dreamed to do, what she always thought shed be doing or at least she didnt do it very well and the fact that her previous principal was actually pitying her like that I can actually understand because many people get that epiphany and it completely breaks them down so at the end of the day it should be about doing what you love and what makes you happy and I guess teaching wasn’t like that for her.
I have to be on lorelai's side on this one... Rory was just so unwatchable in the revival she was just this stubborn girl who always wanted things to be her way.. it was always about her and she didn't care what anyone felt by her decisions.
So to love someone (Logan) deeply is apparently an entitlement. She told Logan in a phone call she won't continue seeing him anymore. Then, he with Finn, Colin & Robert came to see her. If she's so entitled why did she not tell Logan to break off the engagement with that Odette woman. To heck with the so-called dynastic plan, since she's so entitled as some ppl accuse her of being. Oh, Logan wanted her to use their vacation house in Maine with a housekeeper to boot. What did Rory say to that, NO, thank you. Oh, she's so entitled. She was asking her mom's permission so she could write a memoir. The first lesson in writing is to write what you know so this is something she truly knows bc she lived it. That's another entitlement? I don't think so. If Rory is truly such an entitled kid/ grandkid, that offer of a Manhattan apartment from her grandparents would have been something she would jump on, but she said no again (season 7). In the revival, she could absolutely use some financial help and her dad offered, again she said NO. I'm trying to rack my brain of instances she could really be called entitled, but of course, there's none. Ppl just misuse that word. Malice and envy are considered sins, folks! This world will be better off without those 🙏.
@@cibazyx4138 I appreciate your viewpoint but it is partially true that Rory did feel entitled to certain stuff. I.e. she felt entitled to be respected by Logan's family because she was a Gilmore. she didn't see anything wrong with sleeping with a married man because he was HER boyfriend first. I personally think Rory was an imperfect character which made her more realistic as everyone has flaws and Rory was no exception.
@@cibazyx4138 While I agree with some of those points, there are times where Rory is very entitled. People don't misuse the word, they have logical opinions. Please don't just assume you know more than everyone. -_-
I think valedictorians don't do well because they already achieve so much in high school. They feel complete at such a young age. Other students that are normal and not valedictorians, like paris, see high school as the beginning because they didn't accomplish anything yet. So they work harder in college and the real world because they never got that satisfaction of success in high school. I think Rory stopped trying after chilton and especially yale.
I was surprised at Lorelai's reaction at first, given it'd be about their close relationship, I thought she'd be thrilled. But as Lorelai said, she made mistakes when Rory was a child, and struggled before she got ahead. I think she'll always feel shame and guilt for devasting her parents aswell. It kind of annoyed me then, that she gives in to Rory, fearing her resentment, and the repercussions be damned. Also, I've never really liked when shows reference themselves. It makes their reality less real, and it just seems tacky.
Lorelai was a deadbeat mother who never got told or made to feel she was deadbeat. She knows Rory doesnt resent her, but she also knows that if Rory publishes the book others would judge her for doing what she has been free of judgement so far for doing.
I would not feel comfortable about my story being public and not being controlled by me. There is a lot of vulnerability in that. You are not just opening yourself up to total strangers, you are being opened up to those you know in a whole different way. Her life and her story is something that she has control over. She can share or withhold as much as she wants. With Rory sharing the story, Lorelai no longer has that control. It is terrifying.
"I'm sorry, I have to. Without this its grad school or graveling for some job that I don't want." Let me translate that for you, " I'm sorry, I have to betray your trust and wishes. Without this extreme invasion of your privacy I might actually be forced to seek even higher education which is a privilege, one that would be easily available to me, or do the normal person thing and actually work for a living and have a job I don't particularly like. Which of course is so beneath me".
@@cibazyx4138 Bitter because that behaviour is just unacceptable and it is just so sad to see Rory like this. I already hated her attitude by the end of the original run but here she is way too entitled and way too selfish.
See this is what really irks me. You'll be hard-pressed finding anyone who is completely enamored with their job because life isn't a 24/7 breeze, and yet they stick to what they're doing and often maintain a passion for their work. Lorelai is a perfect example, I highly doubt she wanted to be a maid, and then when she opened her dream Inn I highly doubt she loved the work all the time, and yet she maintained her passion. Rory is just such an entitled spoiled brat who, in retrospect, has had everything handed to her so now her entire attitude is 'I shouldn't have to do any heavy lifting to live a comfortable life'. I watched this show when I was a kid and Rory was my idol, but as an adult, If I met someone like her in real life I'd extremely dislike them.
When you really have nothing interesting to talk about but you're just narcissistic enough to convince yourself that writing a biography as your first book is your true calling... just to discover that your life has not enough material and it only makes sense if intertwined with your mother's. That's not sad at all.
The whole revival was just sad in general. Rory is a train wreck, lane doesn’t really get anywhere in life with her band, at least Lorelei and Luke are endgame, and her relationship with Jess hasn’t happened and is just left up to imagination.
@@actaemazantor9558 Yea I was never a Jess fan. I like Dean in the early seasons (until the major OOC storyline in S4), and then I started liking Logan; but at this point I'd say both Dean and Jess are too good for Rory, and she shouldn't be 'endgame' with either.
“It’s got everything!” The way Rory reduces her mother’s life to trendy narrative tropes is so heartbreaking. Why can’t she begin it with her being 16, where we began? Why can’t she write a fictionalized version? Why must she plunder her mother’s warts-and-all journey for herself? And really? “I need this… give me this!” She gave you everything, you failed to make it work, so you’re coming back for more?
Because her mother’s life is much more interesting than hers. That’s why she didn’t want to give it up. Because she knew the book would never work if it were only about her. She never achieved anything, and the little that she did was all thanks to her mother encouraged and pushing her in the right direction and the hell of her community.
I know. Thought he was mean, heartless, and cruel but he was right, no sugarcoating the cold hard truth that she doesn't have it. Hard man, strict man, SOB, and a bunch of other swear words in there too but he was right about her.
I would be too after codependency like that. People always telling you not to follow your instincts. She is just lost and trying to figure out how to follow her dreams.
Actually, rory wasnt even lovable in the early seasons. Everyone just wanted to believe she was. "Thats not you!" Is everything lorelai says when rory disappoints her. And when dean and jess fought for rory and jess got grounded by Luke, lorelai sang "you're my hero"?? maybe, lor, thats everything rory is. Disappointing and messed up, because she had to be a Partner, not a child. She mothered her own mother, that just takes a toll on a person. Maybe its not even rorys fault. Its who she is. But it was noticable very early.
Rory was always that way. In a way she was just like the rest of the Chilton kids: given everything she wanted and always coddled. She was the town princess. When the real world started to deny her what she wanted, she acted entitled because she was always given the royal treatment. She wasn't raised rich, but she was very privileged.
The creator clearly tried to force Rory into repeating Lorelai’s footsteps, but it would have been so much more satisfying if Rory was a self-sufficiant successful journalist. The storyline we got makes everything she went through in the OG series pointless.
Well she would have made an amazing researcher or assistant - just like mitchum said... Both him and Logan were right about her: Logan when he said she's sheltered, needs a little adventure and needs to get involved in order to be a good journalist and later saying she's entitled and privileged without ever acknowledging that Mitchum was harsh in the way he said it but he's very observant! She was great as an assistant at the newspaper but she didn't put herself out there when it came to the actual journalism.

And let's face it, she couldn't quit Logan later and if they had stayed together they wouldn't have both deteriorated to becoming cheaters or would have become boring.
I ask myself the same question. I have a feeling that she was trying to be someone she's not, to be that woman made sense in her mind and she liked the idea but it was just an idea.
I don’t know why rory acts like the universe is telling her to write this story. Like it’s some big sign because it’s easy to write. The only reason it’s easy to write is because the source material is already there. She’s recapping actual events so of course it’s going to be easier to write than something she’s made up or had to think out. To me having your mother disapprove and not want her life story in some book is a “sign from the universe” to not write it.
Yeah lorelai had to, she was a maid at the inn at first she should just deal and do the job, like ik she already has but you still gotta work your way up.
Rory was never my favorite character but I truly despised her during the revival. The way she treated Paul. Sleeping with a wookie. Being with Logan. Lying about it. Career a mess. Living out of boxes. Not organized at all. It was like the person she was disappeared. I get it life doesn't always turn out the way you planned but you still have some of those aspects of your same personality. Having clothes scattered everywhere. No plans for her future. Carrying several cell phones. This isn't Rory. Its an altered version of her.
I could understand her having a one night stand or her career being a mess. She'd have to fail to get beyond it, you know? I, however, can never condone an affair with Logan behind his fiance's back. That was a low.
@@AuroraXA , for sure. I just felt like she lost every sort of sense in her. She already slept with Dean and saw how much that hurt Lindsey. Its like she never learned from her mistakes. And I was really bugged by the fact she never could remember her boyfriends name and kept disregarding him. So insensitive and not like Rory at all. The one night stand I may could get behind if the other aspects of her character hadn't been shoved down the drain.
AuroraXA It literally felt like Rory wasn’t even the same person. I was simultaneously annoyed by her and embarrassed for her. She went from being driven to entitled, from a people pleaser to an adulteress, from organized to chaotic. I have no idea what the writers were thinking.
@@tammy3545 yeah the whole Paul thing was just so ridiculous, it was clearly an attempt to make it funny but it's so surreal and trashy, it's not really gilmore girls' humor or vibe. This season was so weird
You guys! I watched the Clip again and what i think we all forget is, that rory is also chris' child. And remember the scene, when chris came to emily and Richards home to plegde his love for lorelai, even though he was still with his pregnant fiancee? That screams "i want it all" as well. Maybe its not so much lorelais absent parenting, but maybe rory got so bad, because she has chris' genes as well. Chris never hold a job, he didnt really became independant from his parents (the scene where lorelai gets insulted and chris just sits there..) lorelai did the best she could, but eventually she forgot that rory isn't just HER child. She is her fathers daughter as well.
Maybe Rory came across as so loveable in the original series because we were seeing her own representation of herself, but it yitl we finally saw a truer version of her
Rory literally ruined her own life and I don't feel sorry for her. And the way rory used to study in high-school, I was really disappointed with her choices. But I knew she was immature from the first episode when she refused Chilton just because she wanted to be with Dean. And I know she should be allowed to make mistakes, but she didn't learn anything at all from her mistakes. When she was upset with her mom, she went to her grandparents. When she was upset with them, she went to Logan. She was demeaning her own self while doing that.
I mean she was 16 in the first episode (or almost 16) so that plot line made sense - I say it was about right maturity for her age. The problem was, all the big 'grown up' lessons she learnt didn't stick. She didn't continue to mature. It will never make sense to me that cheating with Dean was a huge, HUGE plot point in the original series and when she cheats with logan in the revival (and on her boyfriend multiple times) it's shrugged off like lol oh well
@@TheMarkmcr I mean, she cared in the end - when she saw Lindsey in the butcher's trying to master the roast recipe lol, she obviously felt guilty - and then when she saw Lindsey after she found the letter. She obviously did feel guilt, but she didn't really learn from that lesson.
@@abcdefgold rory was at most upset about dean lying (not enough to avoid dating him again) and her mom being mad. She even admitted that she didn't care right after lindsay left and had no problem showing her face to dean's parents later on.
@@TheMarkmcr When did she say she didn't care after Lindsey left? I'm talking about the scene - after she insisted that things were over with Lindsey & Dean and she had nothing to feel sorry for, when she walked past Lindsey desperate to impress Dean with the roast beef recipe and clearly felt bad. I mean, she's a fictional character lol, but seems clear to me that the intention of the writers there was to give rory an 'oh shit, i'm the bad guy moment - it's obviously not over between Dean & Lindsey and I am the over woman'
I know people have many complaints about the new series but I find it authentic, life after university can be hard and there are different struggles I like that this aspect is portrayed.
maori mendoza yeah but most ppl dont have the Ivy League education or connections rory does so her struggling seems unrealistic esp since she can easily work at chilton n go to grad school
Not to mention many of us take whatever job comes our way and work our way from there to build something and achieve our goals, we’re not expecting our dream job to just drop in our lap by hurting the people we love in the process
Disagree. She attended private school and Yale which actually sets you up really well for more opportunities and better jobs once you graduate. She was just acting spoiled & entitled because she didn’t get her way and turned down things she didn’t like without even trying it first! People like that can never do well, you have to make some effort!
Everyone is saying that Rory failed as an adult but you gotta remember up until the revival, Rory was writing articles for the new York's Times, the new Yorker, Atlantic and the list goes on and on. I would think tbat she was very successful in her field. Only until the revival she lost her way. She was privileged most her life so this moment would be a great for her character development.
I think she had like one article in the New Yorker, which was such an anomaly that Luke had it printed on his menus. (Weird.) Then, when she decides to try to do a story (about people standing in lines? Huh?), she ends up sleeping with a random guy she just met. Yikes.
I just started watching season 1 and if this is what Rory turns into, I don't know if I want to bother continuing. She's 32 and acting like a brat, god damn 😬😂
Its literally the theme of the entire series. The show is disguised as a light heated YA drama but underneath its a show about class warfare and privilege. Rory's path is not a happy one but it is an important story to tell.
Well she kind of always been like that since season 2-3 but the more you go through the seasons the more it’s showing. But hey this is what a spoiled kid ends up like
Rory (and Lorelai, for that matter) were never intended to be perfect people, just good people. We met Rory as the perfect teenaged girl because she had been sheltered in Stars Hollow her entire life but as she starts going out into the world (Chilton, Yale, her grandparents) she starts to evolve into her own person rather than just being Lorelei Jr. This was the major conflict that consistently arose between mother and daughter (and usually between Lorelei and her parents) because while Lorelei rejected her privileged world, Rory was very much a cross between Lorelei and Richard & Emily, between Stars Hollow and the Upper Crust. Lorelei always wanted to believe that Richard and Emily were manipulating Rory into their world (and certainly they did occasionally manipulate her) but Rory just genuinely liked their world full of Ivy halls and intellect and breeding. You can be a good person and still be spoiled or make mistakes (even major ones) or be selfish...it's called being human, which as quirky as all these characters are, they're also very human.
Well, Rory was never a decent person to begin with (cheating, lying, spoiled brat, etc). That’s why she ended up in a bad place and i guess that the lesson the series is trying to show.
@@TheStepmonkey WOW! I was gonna say that I wish I was as perfect as all of you as I grew up but I really don't cuz then i apparently wouldn't have learned anything other than how to pass judgements on others.
I really hate how rory’s character changed over the years. after she cheated with dean and dropped out of yale, i knew she wasn’t going anywhere with her life. not to mention that she was never criticized by anyone so she became really sensitive. It was so easy to tell how she couldn’t handle any criticism right when she got rejected for the job at the paper. Rory literally dropped out of yale and ended her entire career just because someone gave her the smallest amount of negative feedback. chilton and start of yale was her peak.
Rory's downfall started when she started hanging around her rich grandparents, then she sleep with Dean when he was married and then when she got with Logan it got worse.
I get why Lorelai would say no, it’s a lot of private details in a book. But I’m glad she plays it later. Their mother daughter bond has always held such a special place on my heart. Didn’t love the revival, but loved that Rory decided to go the book writing direction. Also Rory would be a great novelist, that makes more sense to me than journalism.
Rory writing a book about their lives pretty much leans on the fourth wall since they are actually living in a story that revolves around their lives. The book is even titled "Gilmore Girls" which is the title of the series
Hopefully Rory will change the story format before she submits it for publication. If her book got published and praised all while Lorelai wasn't feeling good about it, it'd drive a wedge between them. Rory's put her mom in a difficult position. If they do another episode, I hope they find a way to balance things out.
Rory's entitled attitude is what made me quit the show. I adored Gilmore Girls from day 1, then Rory decided to sleep with Dean when he was married. I thought she would realize the mistake she had made, but no, she found a way to justify her actions. I stopped there and then. I periodically checked in and would only find her actions more and more deplorable. Eventually I gave up on every going back to finish the series. I saw bits of the last episode and it seemed she was finally on the right track. Then this revival of sorts came out and here we are, once again, experiencing a Rory that seems to be going backwards. Sleeping with a very engaged Logan, literally throwing any ounce of dignity she has out the window and looking down at life as though she is too good to do anything except write a book. It seems like the Palladino's hate Rory and refuse to let her grow up.
Gilmore girls was always a story about class warfare disguised as a YA drama. And if you were watching it as a YA drama I could understand giving up on it. But if you were watching it for the the deeper story the revival and Rory's life path is some of the most brilliant television ever made. Rory from the very beginning of the series is set up to represent how privilege corrupts. All the episodes up to the revival are told as if from Rory's book while the revival is told from an outside perspective. A key part of the revival story is realism. People who cheat are likely to continue to cheat, people with communication problems in their relationship will keep having them even after happily ever after, many people in small towns never escape, I could go on and on. Rory is a realistic example of privilege. She is beautiful and charming so cheating does not ruin future romantic prospects. She is smart, works hard, and is well educated but lacks real passion or the work ethic to keep going even when she is doing badly. We see how this initially results in failure. She does not become a famous journalist. But we also see how the wealth and connections her family bring keep her on her feet anyway. She always has a job offer somewhere(like to Chilton) and never has to worry about having place of her own and food on the table. She is free to pursue her dream long after most people without her level of privilege would have been trapped in horrible jobs just to make ends meet. But this is not just from the revival. We saw this from the very beginning of the series with how they contrasted her life with Jess, Lane, and Lorelai. A great scene exemplifying this is the party where Dean and Jess get in a fight over her. Lorelai calls her, her hero. Luke on the other hand is incredibly angry and specifically is worried about money. Think about this scene from the context of privilege(both financial but also gender).
She studied in chilton (private/ elite school) & Yale (Ivy league) to be a Journalist which was her dream for so long. Now, she seems undecided and wants to write a book about them?! Not ok! You spent a storyline about how important college is and her love story with decent and irresponsible guys, for what? It seems like Rory is the loser in the end. “Better this (write a book) or grad school”? School is good, she might find another guy who she will end up with. But she’s turning into a stubborn rich kid here. Sad revival.
You totally missed the point of the show. The entire point of Rory's character from the beginning was that it was privilege not underlying passion or skill that got her to the Ivy League. In the show you are shown over and over(like it is super obvious) that Rory is not actually fundamentally interested in academics or journalism. She is a stubborn rich kid. That is the point. And not just the point of the revival. The show is about the effects of class. Rory is the shows representation of privilege and is constantly compared against characters that have less either financially, intellectually, or physically.
re-watched Fall again last night (they were showing it on TV on The CW) I love how there’s a video with a compilation of all the scenes relating to Rory’s book because it’s definitely one of my favorite parts of the revival also really like the Little Women (1994) feels I get with the book scenes in Fall Jess is the Bhaer to Rory’s Jo 💕
As much as I love the show.dean in my opinion made a well timed escape and so did jess.seeing how she was turning the both of them into completely different people and not for the good Rory is a toxic person to those around her and never realised it till the only voice she heard was her own
To me Rory peaked in high school and she was the “good girl” but then she turned rogue and did her own thing on her whims. It isn’t necessarily good or bad but just goes to show good grades doesnt mean anything if your head isnt in the right place
Maybe it's just me.. but I hate what Rory has become.. I was so used to seeing her at her best, even at her awkward moments I still love her.. But to humanize Rory, we saw her flaws, her bad decisions, specially when she slept with a "wookie"! But then again, it's just me... nevertheless, I still love the show, I still love Lorelei and Rory 😍
Me: - Mom, a new season of GG is already on Netflix! Mom: -Rory still acting like a spoiled brat? Me: -... Mom:- .... Thanks Rory, you ruined the good times with my mom.
I feel like the second conversation is closer to what she shoulda said first instead of the entitled bratty convo they had at the cemetery. Handle Lorelai and her story with care and if anything present it to Lorelai as something that woulda been therapeutic for Rory to write about.
Why do people judge Rory as if she's a real person. She's a flawed character, that's the whole point of the show. Her life was messy no matter how hard Lorelai tried, because people will make mistakes. Rory is all of us.
Hace poco ví por primera vez los 4 capitulos especiales,esperaba un poco más de ellos,como que ya estarían casados y con hijos,y que "Rory" hubiera estado más madura, pero no ,fuera de ello me gustó volver a verlos.
Like Lorelei said when Rory got into Yale "if its good for you, its REALLY good for me" I wouldn't be surprised if she knew that her bookworm daughter would write a story of her life like Logan said to Jess, writers paraphrase their lives anyway, wouldn't be surprised if she knew that Rory was going to do this before she could read, not like she hasn't don't stuff like that before
I don't know how Rory is going to write a story about her and her mom when she doesn't even know the story. Lorelai didn't move out of Emily and Richard's house when she was pregnant. She lived with Emily and Richard for approximately a year when Rory was a baby.
I think Rory had a good idea in the book writing, but she should have thought beforehand that Lorelai might not want to have her life written about. I sympathise with both of them in this scene, but I’m more on Lorelai’s side
True, Lorelai wants peace and this bringing out to the public will just scrutinize her relationship with Emily and another chaos happens and Rory might strain with her mother's relationship
I think Rory isn't a bad person, but where things went wrong is that she was ALWAYS shielded from any mistakes she did make. On top of that, you have to admit that everyone around her put a lot of pressure on her. Yes, it was well intentioned and done out of genuine belief that she's special, but she's lived her whole life thinking she had one path for her life, and an exact picture of where she was supposed to end up and when she should get there. No one ever really took the time to tell her it was okay to switch lanes, or take a break, or that being smart and talented and even being special did not mean you weren't guaranteed the life you dreamed of and that having a back up dream wasn't a failure. When it comes to her relationships, she didn't have a lot of examples of healthy relationships for a long time, outside of her grandparents, but didn't have a significant relationship with them until she was nearly a legal adult. And one thing I really think Lorelie messed up was that she really judged every boyfriend and relationship Rory had, and when the whole Dean/Rory/Jess triangle happened, she never talked to Rory about how it's normal and okay to start having feelings for someone new without losing feelings you already have for someone else. She just focused on how much she didn't like Jess. Lorelie was a very good mother, but I think those few mistakes she and her own parents made, just ended up with Rory being really confused about who she is, her options in life, what she wants, and no real way to work through it, so when things didn't go to plan, she just got lost and stuck and stopped trying, believing it would just fix itself at some point, because it always had, failing to realize that it was really her family that had actually been fixing things for her most of the time. I don't think she was spoiled exactly, but she was sheltered and protected a little too much, and essentially wasted all her potential and intelligence and stunted her personal growth.
The revival, which I wholeheartedly and metaphysically reject, was a nuclear bomb of shit that leveled Stars Hollow to a char. I am puzzled verily that the cast actually went along with it! I dedicated myself to watching all seven seasons over a couple of months. Absolutely wonderful show start to finish. I didn't even find out that beloved Edward Herrman passed away until I saw that Richard passed away in the revival, for I had sequestered myself during the binge. I was absolutely fraught with heartache! Then I proceeded to wade through the revival, but was only able to make it to the end of winter before quitting out of the preservation of my sanity. Was the fluke the seven seasons; or was it the epic failure and embarrassment that was the revival?
I think the revival is the best piece of television I have ever seen and it breaks my heart that so many people seem to have missed the point of not just the revival but of the original show to. The show is a story about the effects of class and privilege disguised as a cutesy teen drama. But so many people never managed to see passed the disguise. The last season before the revival was not written by the same person but the rest was not a fluke. Both the revival and the original are amazing. Really its worth finishing the revival and rewatching a few episodes of the first couple of seasons afterwards but from the perspective of watching Rory's book.
Amy , the shows creator ,writer, producer, messed up big time with the revival. It was horrible. Like you said the original show was good all 7 seasons. Even though Amy didn't write Season 7, it was good for the most part. Amy should have picked up where Season 7 left off. There was so much there that she could have worked with .Made a 2 hour movie. Why did Amy have musicals in the revival, this wasn't the Stars Hollow fans knew and loved. Also had Miachel , go from a ladies man to being gay. Also ruined Rory's character. There were so many things wrong with the revival.
Wait, did she not attend grad school or go for higher education? What was she doing for 9 years? Refusing the chance to teach at place like Chilton? Refusing to marry the man who is so clearly in love with her? What's her problem? What's wrong with her?
Kind of makes one wonder what everyone's real names were, maybe even Rory's and Loriel's. I mean there's no doubt the last name is Gilmore but if their first name is too
I don’t think that the original episodes are from her book but only Amy Sherman and Dan Palladino know the truth. Amy said that their unusual mother daughter relationship being best friends was what sold the idea to the wb. If she was writing a memoir about their life together it would be based on fact...but if she has written a fiction book maybe. I have never understood why she was valedictorian at Chilton. She could have been salutatorian. But I was valedictorian when I graduated college and I was a transfer student like Rory was so it is possible! I think it was the perfect way to end the story because fans can write the rest of it anyway they want to. In my world, I think she should have a son and name him Richard because that might be the only way Lorelai and Luke can have a child they can help raise. I think she should be with Logan and married to him for a very short time when he finds out about the kid before he gets married to Odette then he dies and she ends up either alone or meeting her true love much later in her adult life. I don’t know how Alexis hid her pregnancy so well. She has a son, doesn’t she? Scott Patterson mentioned it once but I had no idea she was carrying a child! Was she pregnant this whole time during the whole revival? Unbelievable!
I think she was pregnant when they had that panel interview in Austin, Texas where they were just reminiscing. They either didn't have the deal sealed with Netflix at the time or they were not ready to announce it to the public yet. That was the summer of 2015 so Alexis was probably about 5 months pregnant. She's very slim, so a five-month tummy bump wouldn't be noticeable. Btw, I don't agree with the idea that Logan should die (if and when there would be another revival). That's too dark. One death is enough and that was bc Edward (Richard) really passed away. Rory and Logan's love story should be a happy one. I mean, Lorelai has finally settled with Luke. Rory deserves to be happy too and that would only happen if she's with Logan. She shouldn't take her mom's journey bc Logan really loves her and she feels the same way about him. There's a comment here about Lorelai being on the right side of the debate as to whether their story should be written or not. Well, she saw the light, so to speak, on this matter. Of course, she should let Rory write it. That's the least she could do after allowing Rory to grow up without Chris, her dad, essentially. Now, Rory is on the fence whether she should tell the father of her kid about the pregnancy. That's a direct result of how she was raised. I'm not a conservative at all, but a father has something to contribute to a kid's welfare. If he isn't abusive, and certainly Chris wasn't, he shouldn't have been deprived of a real relationship with Rory. That awkwardness between Rory and Chris in the revival was bc they didn't really have a close father-daughter thing. Rory should definitely let the kid have a relationship with Logan who everybody says is the father, logically anyway.🌺🌈🌼!
3:37 a parent isn’t supposed to be on your side unconditionally- part of their job is to tell you when you’re in the wrong and steer you right. But because Rory spent so much of her life being praised, she dealt with criticism very poorly.
Oh my god, of course it was fucking easy to write, she literally lived half of it and heard the other half from either her mother and grandmother. She really just went and picked the easy way 🙄
My God Rory really went downhill spiral! Her entitlement were off the charts! Why did writers hated Rory so much?! They turned her into a broke, spoiled, cheating, smug, career-less, ungrateful, entitled, horrible person. I mean its still character development but she just sucks all in all!
"just give this to me" is something a toddler says when their parents don't give them candy. It is not something you get to say as a 32 year old who was handed an education and gave up the second someone critisized her
YEEESS!!!! Especially annoying giving into consideration that he achieved much more than Rory, and he did all of this by HIMSELF, without parents, grandparents, their money, great education, etc. etc. ...
You know, normally I'd say as a debut author you should never write stories about your own life... But considering Rory's life is the story of an extremely popular TV show XD
For the record I'm a terrible pitcher too. I always try to pitch ideas to my friend before I write, she hates the idea, every time. After I write it, she reads it and likes it.
I think it was a stroke of brilliance. The original series is a class warfare story told through the lens of a light hearted feel good YA drama. The revival continues the same story but with the lens removed. The book makes this connection obvious. The book is the show before the revival. The lens is Rory's warped perspective. So many little connections exist between the revival and the original show that work brilliantly from this perspective. For one small example. Lorilai and Rory indirectly make fun of people who are overweight in the original series. In the original series it is seemingly not done to make them look bad(unless you are being really astute, it was intentional) . They are just jokes and clever banter. But in the reboot we see them do the same thing at the pool. But this time there is no cutesy music. Instead of being part of clever banter it is just blunt. It obviously makes Rory and her mother look like assholes(lol tons of blog articles were written by people being pissed about it but none were written when the original show did the same thing). We, the viewer, are being cleverly shown how beauty, charm, and intelligence hide unacceptable behavior. This is just one example but generally the whole point of the show and the revival is to demonstrate how privilege works. The book is a brilliant mechanism to make comparisons. As a privileged person I am now forced to consider how much of my life am I seeing through the books perspective.
I'd admire Lorelei, she doesn't Rory to write a book about her, but in the end caves in to make Rory happy, and Rory really wants her moms approval to finish the book.
Rory is the perfect millennial, so much promise early on only to fail in life, then writes a self-serving book. Surprised she didn’t start a RUclips channel.
Ehh sort of. She is shown as an example of the effects of privilege. I do like that the show was not afraid to address types of privilege specific to millennial's. For example although female beauty has always been a privilege to some extent, the degree that is exploitable today compared to the past is vastly different. The show does a good job contrasting Rory's experience in this regard with her mother and grandmother. But I don't think the theme is that specific to Millennials. Many aspects of Rory's privilege are much older. For example she never has to worry about being capable of paying bills or getting a job of some sort. This is shown by her job offer to her old school or with her grandfathers associates and her ability to move to Queens. It is also shown throughout the show with how much of Rory's grandfathers wealth being shown to come from aspects of his personal business ties. Or later how Luke could have taken advantage of those ties to sling shot his buisness.
Most millennials don't have a rich father, step-father, mother and rich grandparents and a $250,000 trust fund from their great-grandparents. Nor do many of us get to turn down prestigious jobs at an acclaimed private school. Most of us also don't make fun of overweight people on the beach, or have serial affairs with multiple men. As for living with parents/ receiving assistance from them... the 'Great Generation,' was often living in multi-generational households due to the economy plus in a lot of cultures moving-out at 18 is not the norm.
So tired of people bashing an entire age group. ALL of the millennials I know are caring people trying to make the world a better place as doctors, nurses, engineers, activists, creators of nonprofit organizations, the list goes on.
Lorelai>>>
Rory, lorelai is greater than rory
It’s really ironic that a women who got pregnant at 16, didnt graduate high school or get a college degree till she was in her thirties is far more successful then a girl who had everything even went to an Ivy League and let’s not forget had a trust fund. It’s kind of a slap in the face to Lorelai with the kind of women Rory turned out to be but that’s just my opinion
Someones value isnt in their achivements.. Rory was never meant to be a perfect character. People need to see how THEY put her on the high standard that was so unrealistic. She makes a lot of mistakes, can be selfish. But she is not a bad person. So no, it wouldnt be a slap in the face to Lorelai. It goes to show how Schooling doesnt mean anything really. It's important to note- Rory is at the age here that her mother was when the show started. Lorelai didnt have much to her name then. So it's harsh to judge Rory so much. She is still growing as a person. What do you expect from her? and maybe that says more about you and the high demands others put on you then it says about a early 30's woman. Yeah Paris has this big successful career but she let her marriage fall apart and is a shit mother. Rory has as many amazing qulities as she has 'negative ones' so stop dumping on her a little.
@@ghouling1111 I’m not saying Rory needs to be perfect and I do understand that people are allowed to make mistakes but sleeping with a man who’s engaged how is that okay? By any means do I expect her to have her whole entire life together but some of the choices she has made are just not okay. Rory did not learn from the first time she ruined a marriage. I understand she was 18 when it first happened but she is now in her 30’s there’s no more excuses. There are people who have nothing and find a way to do great things in life. Rory had everything and did nothing. Like you said Lorelai had nothing to her name yet she managed to do great in life and try to be a good example for her daughter. So what excuse does Rory have for turning out the way she did. Yes Paris marriage failed and she isn’t the best mother but she’s still doing better. She went from being rich to being broke and found a way to be rich again on her own. Even dean grew as a person and Jess. Although everyone is different Rory has no one else to blame but herself for how things turned out for her.
The writers took a huge shit on her character the moment she went to Yale. She became so entitled and spoiled, but acted like she had no advantages in life. And now she just absolutely sucks as a person. Hopefully they come out with another season and they redeem her as a person but I doubt that happens.
@@ghouling1111 Rory was willing to sacrifice her relationship with her mom to write a book at 32 so she doesn't have to take jobs she doesn't want (selfish to the extreme - who even knows if her book will be successful and how much she'd actually get from it) whereas Lorelai when she was at the same age was willing to grovel to her parents for money for Rory's education (which everyone can empathize with). This is who Rory IS. Remember she was willing to sacrifice Chilton for a boy she had just met at the time, cheated on said boy while in high school and then cheated with him while in college and he was married. I thought it was telling we never saw Rory feel real remorse for her actions in hurting Lindsay and the fact the show tried to spin it as though Lindsay' and her mom were the villains was very telling. Oh and in the revival was cheating with Logan while she had been dating her bf for two years.
@@ghouling1111 No one expected her to be "perfect." Just not such a loser. Rory could have been working at Lorelai's inn, living within her means; running the town newspaper as a volunteer, instead of running through her trust fund flying to England several times a year, and broke pursuing a dream for 10 years instead of accepting it was not going to happen after 2 or 3 years as any sensible person would have done. Yes, in the eyes of the world she still would have been unsuccessful if she had worked for her mother and volunteered for no salary to run the town newspaper, but she would have been self supporting and doing something she loved.
“What do you mean “no”?”
That kind of sums up Rory’s character. She just can’t take no for an answer, she just has to get what she wants
"I need this, can't you understand that?"
Like her last 2 narcissistic boyfriends yeah. Jess wouldn't give up until he destroyed a nice relationship so he could have rory, acted like an angry jackass 99,9% of the time, force himself in rory's house uninvited so he could spend time with her and dean would make a scene, kept everything hidden like a coward, left like a coward without a word and logan who constanly manipulated and gaslighted her from day one until they unrealistically transformed him into a nice guy who cheats on his future wife. In season one i noticed rory seems selfish and self centered in her friendship with lane. She never deserved dean. Not to mention alexis acting is sooo baaad especially as she got older. Gosh! Stiff woman!
Why shouldn’t she fight for what she wants? I don’t understand why Lorelai was being so annoying about this.
Yep....married men, engaged men and casual sex.
Just sayin.
emilyfan505, you don’t understand why someone might not want every aspect of their personal life over the past 32 years published for everyone to see?
"Don't forget to include Logan, the guy you Just Can't Quit"
Lorali BURN
That so-called BURN is so rich coming from Lorelai who couldn't quit Luke😾Heck, she didn't even really make an effort to make her marriage to Chris work. She is a grown woman and she agreed to marry Chris finally. He thought she may be all in this time bc before she was complaining that Chris was immature and couldn't handle being a family man. Well, he's matured and can certainly be relied upon. He's paying for Rory's education. He is now financially well-off but he's still holding down a good job, not sitting around doing nothing. He certainly loves her even after all these years and not holding her previous relationships against her. What he couldn't accept is to play second fiddle to Luke which is of course very understandable. What did Lorelai do? She didn't handle that writing a "reference letter" for Luke well. If she explained it to Chris beforehand, then, he most probably understood the situation. Instead, she never said anything and Chris was shocked to read the contents. Lorelai is so stubborn at times. Emily warned her that marriage is a compromise and Rory questioned the fact that she was hiding this letter from Chris. Well, both Emily and Rory were right all along. It's Lorelai who acted immaturely in this instance. She thinks she doesn't have to listen to anyone else. She tries to help others fix their problems, but when it comes to her own, she's very bad at it.
@@cibazyx4138 I think there is no doubt that she handled the letter situation all wrong. But I don't think that's what broke their marriage - if they were meant to be this would be something they could have worked out. I think it was like Lorelai said, she wanted it to be Christopher so much. She got her heartbroken when he left her for Sherry but still had so much love and respect for Christopher. When the timing finally seemed "right" (which it never really is...) she went all in thinking this was their chance after all these years. Well, Christopher went all in with the proposal and she thought "If I say no it will be over forever' so she took the risk because she never gave up on him. Of course it didn't work out. But they tried. I really do think Lorelai made an effort she always did with Christopher no matter the situation (and there were some really crappy ones). But then reality hit them and they both faced the truth. Had to face the truth... and have closure.
troeler the marriage broke Cause she wasn’t enough in love with Christopher ... Luke was always the love of her life and Chris got that when he read the letter
@@cibazyx4138 Lorelai was sometimes rash by jumping from Luke, to Chris, back to Luke, but at least she made sure she was broken up. Rory emotionally cheated on Dean with Jess. Kissed Jess while she was still with Dean. She also slept with a very married Dean. She later goes on to sleep with a wookie and cheat with Logan on his fiance, all while never quite breaking up with Paul.
Not to mention, Chris is weak. Everyone knows it and just accepts it. Even Emily said it to his face. When things get tough, he runs. He's used to bolting, that's y it was so ironic he got Christopher-ed by Sherry
Lorelai is certainly far from being the best relationship role model, but she's never been an adulterer. Luke was single and I don't believe Lore ever would have cheated on Chris. She has major issues when it comes to how she deals with her relationships, but she was never as cavalier with people's feelings as Rory is.
Rory's fatal flaw is pride. She's too prideful to take a normal/average job, she's too prideful to ask Logan to marry her, and she's too prideful to admit her mistakes. Lorelei's flaw is her independence. She doesn't know how to compromise with people. It's always her way or the highway. Luke's flaw is that he's slow. That's why he's a hermit and took forever to ask Lorelei out. Logan's flaw is his victim mentality. Instead of actually making the most of his resources, he constantly feels sorry for himself and drags everyone else down with him
Lorelai flaw was that she was never a "mother" to Rory but a friend. Therefore she didnt understand why Rory didnt have the same reverence to her as child would their mother. Lorelai dumped Rory as a baby to be raised by her parents, while Lorelai not wanting to accept the responsibility of parenthood could be "indepedent and have fun". Rory was loved and spoiled by her grandparents and never was resentful to lorelai outwardly but there were moments that give a way that rory didnt have respect for Lorelai as a mother because for most her life she wasnt one.
@@C-eo1rtI'm confused. When did Lorelai leave Rory to be raised by her parents? She spent a significant part of the show and Rory's life trying to keep her from her parents.
I'm confused too. It was NEVER mentioned in any of the episodes that Lorelai left Rory to be raised by her parents.
"It's grad school...or groveling for jobs I don't want"
Welcome to adulthood Rory.
me, a recent college graduate: ... well that's fun
Exactly.
And she totally could have written gilmore girls from her perspective. And it would have been great.
What is wrong with grad school
Or teaching at Chilton for a bit.
Or the other jobs she was offered.
Like you take what is there and work your way to your dream
Exactly she needs to learn to grow up and realize there’s things you have to do just to survive before you make it you know you’re not just get big suddenly
@@songriver1232 Well said, Rory is just an immature adult. Since she was raised as a rich girl she doesn’t know how to appreciate a job.
@@songriver1232 She still thinks her Chilton and Yale schooling, as well as one byline immediately means she should be Christiane Amanpour, and be handed highly-paid high-prestige jobs that do not require her finding leads, chasing stories, and pitching them.
I guarantee Amanpour hustled, much like we see the fictional Lois Lane do. Neither would try the "fake it til you make it" approach Rory seems to be playing at...and I'm pretty sure neither would be spending their time/resources flying to England to bang an ex who is engaged to someone. I'm not a journalist, but I imagine right now it's an occupation of constant seeking, chasing, and hustling.
Rory: I have no money and no job and I'm pregnant.
Also Rory: is renting an apartment in one of the most expensive cities in the world. With a 'dedicated writing space'.
Some people don’t understand what broke means.
i guess thats why the doenst have any money left!
She also has a rich father, grandmother, and a trust fund
@@dogmoms2798 bruh she has three trust funds. Chris, her grandparents, and gran
@@amiann6901 Yea but she would've most likely had access to all of these trust funds already when she said she was broke. I agree it's hard to believe that she blew through so much money considering she is the sole heir of 2 very wealthy families but since she's hell bent on living in NY and has no job, she's clearly an idiot when it comes to money and finances. Also, throughout this revival we NEVER hear about any actual job that Rory has ever had. She had the temp job with the online newspaper and she's written a couple of pieces for various publications but she doesn't seem to have EVER had any sort of consistent job. When you're living in New York, flying to London for an affair all the time (I doubt Rory is smart enough to make Naomi pay for her travel), and you aren't making any money. Well you can burn through money pretty quickly.
The discussion: 💣💢🗡️🔥
The background music: 🍭🌿✨💝
Whoever edited this added the music! It’s not there in the original episode. Really spoils the scene.
It's kinda sad that the only thing Rory can do after all that studying, all that reading and intrest in journalism is write a book about her life. The revival clearly shows she was never cut out for journalism (I used to wonder about that watching the original series, because Rory was always so sheltered) and maybe the only thing she was ever good at was studying. And that will only get you to a certain point in life.
Seems like Logan's dad was right
It's sad, she was always the best student in her class but in real life it meant nothing.
It's even worse, the book is not about her life, it's more about her mother's life.
Lorelai is a real woman since she was young and had a interested life. Rory is just a spoiled girl.
I feel like her character is realistic, she went to school with all this potential and she wasn't able to break through
@@magnified101 oh yeah, I'm not saying it's not realistic, you meet people like that irl, but I guess that the show never truely addresses that fact, Rory has troubles but is still made to look great to the viewer.
I hate that Lorelei said yes in the end. More of Rory getting what she wanted, and not thinking about others and their feelings. Rory is well aware of Lorelei and Emily’s relationship. She honestly didn’t consider how traumatizing it would be to BOTH of them to relive it? We’ve seen how Emily continues to bring it up, decades later. It will simply hurt others.
I think it was important that she gave in. A big part of the theme of the show as a whole and especially the revival is how wealth and privilege allows for mistakes. Rory is shown messing up her life both professionally and personally. But the theme is not that privilege inevitably leads to failure. The theme is that privilege leads to second chances that others never get. Rory will eventually succeed because despite her professional failures she has the space and time to wander aimlessly until finding something that is really her passion(the book). This is contrasted with Lane and her husband who have no choice but to take on jobs to make ends meet. It is also strongly hinted that Jess and Rory will eventually find one another again. Again this is due to privilege . For a normal person cheating on people and stringing along relationships will eventually poison your chances at romantic success. But Rory is not normal. She is unnaturally good looking and charming. This is contrasted with Paris. Paris puts real effort into her romantic relationships but because she was not naturally beautiful(I realize the the actor is actually pretty but in universe she is not) or charming she gets no second chance.
@@peterisawesomeplease it still would have been good if for once, rory was unable to manipulate someone.
@@TheMarkmcr Yea I guess the one person to not give in should be Lorelei.
@@peterisawesomeplease still, lorelai does admittedly deserve it in a way, as she was the one who turned rory into a sociopathic mess in the first place
@@TheMarkmcr umm i would say her granparents had more to do with messing up rory
Can someone please explain to me why she never went into publishing. Think about it: a) she spent more time reading books than she did reading a newspaper, b) she spent a lot of time in the Yale library, c) she never really had what it took to be a journalist aside from having her main hero be a female journalist.
I might be the only but maybe should have majored in library and information science, or English literature, or anything other than journalism.
i could totally see that.
Gio I get what you’re saying. I just wish she went about in a different more mature route I guess.
Yes! I agree! Also I think that Jess was the one for her, because he has always challanged her. He always knew how to shake her - school, the book etc Ever noticed that she went for Logan, after she found out who his father is?
Well she would have made an amazing researcher or assistant - just like mitchum said... Both him and Logan were right about her:
Logan when he said she's sheltered, needs a little adventure and needs to get involved in order to be a good journalist and later saying she's entitled and privileged without ever acknowledging that
Mitchum was harsh in the way he said it but he's very observant!
She was great as an assistant at the newspaper but she didn't put herself out there when it came to the actual journalism. Only doing what was asked of her and not thinking on her feet and how she could get involved
That perfectly showed in her attitude and work ethic later in a year in the life.
Tho marrying Logan would have been way too early for her, it might have helped her in the sense that she would have had a stable place and job at a local but not too crazy newspaper since she was never cut out for the on the road "dirty" journalism that she ended up persuing. And let's face it, she couldn't quit Logan later and if they had stayed together they wouldn't have both deteriorated to becoming cheaters or would have become boring.
Pretty sure at some point in the show, rory said her major was English, so she could've done that anyhow.
Rory is such a spoiled little brat. It's so unfortunate to see that Mitchum was right abt Rory. She didn't have it. To me, it makes sense for her to be a professor and/or a fiction writer. She loved reading books growing up, but respect ur mom if she doesn't want her personal life out there. Don't throw an "I need this!" tantrum at 32yo
Kay X it’s a show chill bro
@@abbysilverstein8655 it's just my opinion, chill girl
No fr.
I really wished Rory had gone back to Grad School to teach at Chilton (in my mind she does in the future while having her kid), it seems like a perfect job for her rather than this career in Journalism she clearly wasn’t cut out for.
yea mitchum was right
Yes and she could still do something related to Journalism (like helping the students with the Chilton newspaper)
She cant write the book from Lorelai's perspective, because only Lorelai could do that. It doesn't matter how close you are. It wasn't Rory's place to be upset at her mother not being okay with Rory telling her life story. Like you didn't even ask first, just assumed you'd be able to tell everything about your mom. Her character is just so intolerable
The books for Rorrys perspective it would just include a part that talked about lorelei as she came to stars hollow
@@lexbain she legit said "it's about YOUR story BEFORE you came to stars hollow". That's not hers to tell, or to get upset about Lorelai not wanting her to tell.
@@ambrosiacanelo9014 that's only one part. And I think they are close enough, that Rory knows what she can write and what not.
@@Laura-vs8bb Evidently not going by the clip.
To me Rory was telling their story, hers and Lorelai's; as a child raised by a single mother whose wealthy parents had turned their backs on her when she got pregnant at 16 and she would not allow them to call the shots for how she raised her child. That is why the book title is "Gilmore Girls." It is those 2. Lorelai still a girl herself growing up along side her baby, Rory. Have you forgotten they only saw Lorelai's parents at Thanksgiving and Christmas until Lorelai took that loan for Rory's schooling? We were told in season 1 how her mom made it work in spite of not having their support, found a job as a maid at a B & B and lived in a shed on the property; (how could you forget how shocked Emily was when Rory showed her where they had lived) later getting her GED, going to business school and working her way up to manager of the Inn and later buying an inn with partners. Very little needs to be said about Lorelai's and Emily's relationship. The focus could have been on Lorelai raising Rory, having almost nothing but still doing a good job for being so young.
God Rory was so intolerable in this revival. She was such a spoiled brat throughout the whole show and then in the revival she was so much worse. She felt like everyone should hand her things and that she should get everything and when she doesn’t get her way she pushes people and throws tantrums to get it. Honestly after ten years she didn’t mature or progress at all. I was so upset because for the first couple of seasons, up to season four I loved her character.
Don't forget her ugly "I'm-too-good-to-be-a-teacher" moment. That part really made me question the whole core of Rory's character, even from back in the original run of the show. Like, if that's always how she felt, then her shining moments of scholastic achievement feel a little bit hollow looking back, like they never really meant that much to her.
Pay Cunha YES. I’m so glad someone actually pointed out how much of an entitled brat she actually was. It pissed me off so much, i kept hating her more and more, and not just her, but Lorelai and all the other characters for spoiling her.
Lee Almonte I don’t think it was im too good to be a teacher, i think it was more of a realisation that she was not doing what she dreamed to do, what she always thought shed be doing or at least she didnt do it very well and the fact that her previous principal was actually pitying her like that I can actually understand because many people get that epiphany and it completely breaks them down so at the end of the day it should be about doing what you love and what makes you happy and I guess teaching wasn’t like that for her.
I could be wrong lol ive mostly forgotten the revival because it was so shitty
EXACTLY I love the show but she is an entitled brat
Rory is so selfish. She's so spoiled and disrespectful. "Me me me. I need this. I want this. You're unfair to me". Disgusting.
What about Lorelai & her reaction to the book idea?
@@joewhitehead3 its her personal life
its rorys
@@chocolatemafia4303 But it’s a good story though. What was she afraid of?
boils my blood 😑😑
lorielai is selfish
I have to be on lorelai's side on this one... Rory was just so unwatchable in the revival she was just this stubborn girl who always wanted things to be her way.. it was always about her and she didn't care what anyone felt by her decisions.
So to love someone (Logan) deeply is apparently an entitlement. She told Logan in a phone call she won't continue seeing him anymore. Then, he with Finn, Colin & Robert came to see her. If she's so entitled why did she not tell Logan to break off the engagement with that Odette woman. To heck with the so-called dynastic plan, since she's so entitled as some ppl accuse her of being. Oh, Logan wanted her to use their vacation house in Maine with a housekeeper to boot. What did Rory say to that, NO, thank you. Oh, she's so entitled. She was asking her mom's permission so she could write a memoir. The first lesson in writing is to write what you know so this is something she truly knows bc she lived it. That's another entitlement? I don't think so. If Rory is truly such an entitled kid/ grandkid, that offer of a Manhattan apartment from her grandparents would have been something she would jump on, but she said no again (season 7). In the revival, she could absolutely use some financial help and her dad offered, again she said NO. I'm trying to rack my brain of instances she could really be called entitled, but of course, there's none. Ppl just misuse that word. Malice and envy are considered sins, folks! This world will be better off without those 🙏.
Exactly Rory gets more annoying every time I watch the show
@@cibazyx4138 I appreciate your viewpoint but it is partially true that Rory did feel entitled to certain stuff. I.e. she felt entitled to be respected by Logan's family because she was a Gilmore. she didn't see anything wrong with sleeping with a married man because he was HER boyfriend first.
I personally think Rory was an imperfect character which made her more realistic as everyone has flaws and Rory was no exception.
@@cibazyx4138 While I agree with some of those points, there are times where Rory is very entitled. People don't misuse the word, they have logical opinions. Please don't just assume you know more than everyone. -_-
Like grandmother, like mother, like daughter.
She never let up off Jess and he’s the only dude who actually got his shit together without using her daughter
I think valedictorians don't do well because they already achieve so much in high school. They feel complete at such a young age. Other students that are normal and not valedictorians, like paris, see high school as the beginning because they didn't accomplish anything yet. So they work harder in college and the real world because they never got that satisfaction of success in high school. I think Rory stopped trying after chilton and especially yale.
Yep they end up peaking at life and everything is just downhill from there.
It's less feeling complete and more cracking under the pressure to exceed that which has already been done.
I was surprised at Lorelai's reaction at first, given it'd be about their close relationship, I thought she'd be thrilled. But as Lorelai said, she made mistakes when Rory was a child, and struggled before she got ahead. I think she'll always feel shame and guilt for devasting her parents aswell. It kind of annoyed me then, that she gives in to Rory, fearing her resentment, and the repercussions be damned. Also, I've never really liked when shows reference themselves. It makes their reality less real, and it just seems tacky.
Passion Pictures could you tell in which part they reference themselves? Maybe I didn't notice
MsPraline333 actually I just got it 3 seconds after sending my reply😂
Lorelai was a deadbeat mother who never got told or made to feel she was deadbeat. She knows Rory doesnt resent her, but she also knows that if Rory publishes the book others would judge her for doing what she has been free of judgement so far for doing.
I would not feel comfortable about my story being public and not being controlled by me. There is a lot of vulnerability in that. You are not just opening yourself up to total strangers, you are being opened up to those you know in a whole different way. Her life and her story is something that she has control over. She can share or withhold as much as she wants. With Rory sharing the story, Lorelai no longer has that control. It is terrifying.
"I'm sorry, I have to. Without this its grad school or graveling for some job that I don't want." Let me translate that for you, " I'm sorry, I have to betray your trust and wishes. Without this extreme invasion of your privacy I might actually be forced to seek even higher education which is a privilege, one that would be easily available to me, or do the normal person thing and actually work for a living and have a job I don't particularly like. Which of course is so beneath me".
Wow, why so bitter, lady?
Lmao
Kris Brookes exactly I was so disappointed with Rory she was always so respectful and sensitive and then she does this ??? 😑
@@cibazyx4138 Bitter because that behaviour is just unacceptable and it is just so sad to see Rory like this. I already hated her attitude by the end of the original run but here she is way too entitled and way too selfish.
See this is what really irks me. You'll be hard-pressed finding anyone who is completely enamored with their job because life isn't a 24/7 breeze, and yet they stick to what they're doing and often maintain a passion for their work. Lorelai is a perfect example, I highly doubt she wanted to be a maid, and then when she opened her dream Inn I highly doubt she loved the work all the time, and yet she maintained her passion. Rory is just such an entitled spoiled brat who, in retrospect, has had everything handed to her so now her entire attitude is 'I shouldn't have to do any heavy lifting to live a comfortable life'. I watched this show when I was a kid and Rory was my idol, but as an adult, If I met someone like her in real life I'd extremely dislike them.
When you really have nothing interesting to talk about but you're just narcissistic enough to convince yourself that writing a biography as your first book is your true calling... just to discover that your life has not enough material and it only makes sense if intertwined with your mother's. That's not sad at all.
The whole revival was just sad in general. Rory is a train wreck, lane doesn’t really get anywhere in life with her band, at least Lorelei and Luke are endgame, and her relationship with Jess hasn’t happened and is just left up to imagination.
@@Blueeyesinthesky Well, let's be honest, Jess may not know it but he dodged a bullet there.
@@actaemazantor9558 Yea I was never a Jess fan. I like Dean in the early seasons (until the major OOC storyline in S4), and then I started liking Logan; but at this point I'd say both Dean and Jess are too good for Rory, and she shouldn't be 'endgame' with either.
@Shantal Blaze it's more than just asking. Rory legally needs signed permission from anyone involved in her story
@@SB-sg4em Exactly, she never deserved any of her boyfriends.
Lorelai is totally right Rory was so unrespectful Rory knows she should know better then anyone what lorelai being through
Disrespectful
“It’s got everything!” The way Rory reduces her mother’s life to trendy narrative tropes is so heartbreaking.
Why can’t she begin it with her being 16, where we began? Why can’t she write a fictionalized version? Why must she plunder her mother’s warts-and-all journey for herself?
And really? “I need this… give me this!” She gave you everything, you failed to make it work, so you’re coming back for more?
THIS!!
Because her mother’s life is much more interesting than hers. That’s why she didn’t want to give it up. Because she knew the book would never work if it were only about her. She never achieved anything, and the little that she did was all thanks to her mother encouraged and pushing her in the right direction and the hell of her community.
Mitchum was right
I know. Thought he was mean, heartless, and cruel but he was right, no sugarcoating the cold hard truth that she doesn't have it. Hard man, strict man, SOB, and a bunch of other swear words in there too but he was right about her.
Delete this right now?
She definitely doesn't have it
Eduardo Souza maybe you should delete this right now? the original commenter is correct and the entire revival proves it.
It seems so.....
Rory always sounds angry in the new revival.
not always.
I would be too after codependency like that. People always telling you not to follow your instincts. She is just lost and trying to figure out how to follow her dreams.
Being 32 myself, I feel her.
Very bitter
Roy was SO loveable in the early seasons. What happened? 🙃
As someone who highly related to Rory in the beginning of Gilmore Girls, her character & choices in A Year in the Life were highlyyy disappointing. 😔
The Huntzbergers happened
Actually, rory wasnt even lovable in the early seasons. Everyone just wanted to believe she was. "Thats not you!" Is everything lorelai says when rory disappoints her. And when dean and jess fought for rory and jess got grounded by Luke, lorelai sang "you're my hero"??
maybe, lor, thats everything rory is. Disappointing and messed up, because she had to be a Partner, not a child. She mothered her own mother, that just takes a toll on a person. Maybe its not even rorys fault. Its who she is. But it was noticable very early.
Roy has grown up. That's what happen.....
Rory was always that way. In a way she was just like the rest of the Chilton kids: given everything she wanted and always coddled. She was the town princess. When the real world started to deny her what she wanted, she acted entitled because she was always given the royal treatment. She wasn't raised rich, but she was very privileged.
The creator clearly tried to force Rory into repeating Lorelai’s footsteps, but it would have been so much more satisfying if Rory was a self-sufficiant successful journalist. The storyline we got makes everything she went through in the OG series pointless.
"If I don't like it I will just sue your ass"
One of the best lines ever in this show 😂
I always wondered why they chose the Journalism route... like she literally could’ve done anything else and it would’ve been fine.
Well she would have made an amazing researcher or assistant - just like mitchum said... Both him and Logan were right about her:
Logan when he said she's sheltered, needs a little adventure and needs to get involved in order to be a good journalist and later saying she's entitled and privileged without ever acknowledging that

And let's face it, she couldn't quit Logan later and if they had stayed together they wouldn't have both deteriorated to becoming cheaters or would have become boring.
I ask myself the same question. I have a feeling that she was trying to be someone she's not, to be that woman made sense in her mind and she liked the idea but it was just an idea.
I don’t know why rory acts like the universe is telling her to write this story. Like it’s some big sign because it’s easy to write. The only reason it’s easy to write is because the source material is already there. She’s recapping actual events so of course it’s going to be easier to write than something she’s made up or had to think out. To me having your mother disapprove and not want her life story in some book is a “sign from the universe” to not write it.
I have to do this it's either this, grad school, or graveling for jobs I don't want. OMG so entitled uhh that's called adulthood
Right? Like nice you have those options
Yeah lorelai had to, she was a maid at the inn at first she should just deal and do the job, like ik she already has but you still gotta work your way up.
Rory was never my favorite character but I truly despised her during the revival. The way she treated Paul. Sleeping with a wookie. Being with Logan. Lying about it. Career a mess. Living out of boxes. Not organized at all. It was like the person she was disappeared. I get it life doesn't always turn out the way you planned but you still have some of those aspects of your same personality. Having clothes scattered everywhere. No plans for her future. Carrying several cell phones. This isn't Rory. Its an altered version of her.
I could understand her having a one night stand or her career being a mess. She'd have to fail to get beyond it, you know?
I, however, can never condone an affair with Logan behind his fiance's back. That was a low.
@@AuroraXA , for sure. I just felt like she lost every sort of sense in her. She already slept with Dean and saw how much that hurt Lindsey. Its like she never learned from her mistakes. And I was really bugged by the fact she never could remember her boyfriends name and kept disregarding him. So insensitive and not like Rory at all. The one night stand I may could get behind if the other aspects of her character hadn't been shoved down the drain.
AuroraXA It literally felt like Rory wasn’t even the same person. I was simultaneously annoyed by her and embarrassed for her. She went from being driven to entitled, from a people pleaser to an adulteress, from organized to chaotic. I have no idea what the writers were thinking.
It's adulthood, my dear
@@tammy3545 yeah the whole Paul thing was just so ridiculous, it was clearly an attempt to make it funny but it's so surreal and trashy, it's not really gilmore girls' humor or vibe. This season was so weird
You guys! I watched the Clip again and what i think we all forget is, that rory is also chris' child. And remember the scene, when chris came to emily and Richards home to plegde his love for lorelai, even though he was still with his pregnant fiancee? That screams "i want it all" as well.
Maybe its not so much lorelais absent parenting, but maybe rory got so bad, because she has chris' genes as well. Chris never hold a job, he didnt really became independant from his parents (the scene where lorelai gets insulted and chris just sits there..) lorelai did the best she could, but eventually she forgot that rory isn't just HER child. She is her fathers daughter as well.
Completely agree, I always think that - she's a cross between the both of them, and some (not all) of her worst qualities come from Chris
Maybe Rory came across as so loveable in the original series because we were seeing her own representation of herself, but it yitl we finally saw a truer version of her
Yes
Rory literally ruined her own life and I don't feel sorry for her. And the way rory used to study in high-school, I was really disappointed with her choices. But I knew she was immature from the first episode when she refused Chilton just because she wanted to be with Dean.
And I know she should be allowed to make mistakes, but she didn't learn anything at all from her mistakes. When she was upset with her mom, she went to her grandparents. When she was upset with them, she went to Logan. She was demeaning her own self while doing that.
I mean she was 16 in the first episode (or almost 16) so that plot line made sense - I say it was about right maturity for her age. The problem was, all the big 'grown up' lessons she learnt didn't stick. She didn't continue to mature. It will never make sense to me that cheating with Dean was a huge, HUGE plot point in the original series and when she cheats with logan in the revival (and on her boyfriend multiple times) it's shrugged off like lol oh well
@@abcdefgold even back when rory and dean had the affair, she didn't care about it at all
@@TheMarkmcr I mean, she cared in the end - when she saw Lindsey in the butcher's trying to master the roast recipe lol, she obviously felt guilty - and then when she saw Lindsey after she found the letter. She obviously did feel guilt, but she didn't really learn from that lesson.
@@abcdefgold rory was at most upset about dean lying (not enough to avoid dating him again) and her mom being mad. She even admitted that she didn't care right after lindsay left and had no problem showing her face to dean's parents later on.
@@TheMarkmcr When did she say she didn't care after Lindsey left? I'm talking about the scene - after she insisted that things were over with Lindsey & Dean and she had nothing to feel sorry for, when she walked past Lindsey desperate to impress Dean with the roast beef recipe and clearly felt bad. I mean, she's a fictional character lol, but seems clear to me that the intention of the writers there was to give rory an 'oh shit, i'm the bad guy moment - it's obviously not over between Dean & Lindsey and I am the over woman'
I know people have many complaints about the new series but I find it authentic, life after university can be hard and there are different struggles I like that this aspect is portrayed.
maori mendoza yeah but most ppl dont have the Ivy League education or connections rory does so her struggling seems unrealistic esp since she can easily work at chilton n go to grad school
Not to mention many of us take whatever job comes our way and work our way from there to build something and achieve our goals, we’re not expecting our dream job to just drop in our lap by hurting the people we love in the process
Disagree. She attended private school and Yale which actually sets you up really well for more opportunities and better jobs once you graduate. She was just acting spoiled & entitled because she didn’t get her way and turned down things she didn’t like without even trying it first! People like that can never do well, you have to make some effort!
@@Jennah0908 also what is wrong w accepting lower job she can always quit - it is no life contract
Everyone is saying that Rory failed as an adult but you gotta remember up until the revival, Rory was writing articles for the new York's Times, the new Yorker, Atlantic and the list goes on and on. I would think tbat she was very successful in her field. Only until the revival she lost her way. She was privileged most her life so this moment would be a great for her character development.
I think she had like one article in the New Yorker, which was such an anomaly that Luke had it printed on his menus. (Weird.) Then, when she decides to try to do a story (about people standing in lines? Huh?), she ends up sleeping with a random guy she just met. Yikes.
I just started watching season 1 and if this is what Rory turns into, I don't know if I want to bother continuing. She's 32 and acting like a brat, god damn 😬😂
Its literally the theme of the entire series. The show is disguised as a light heated YA drama but underneath its a show about class warfare and privilege. Rory's path is not a happy one but it is an important story to tell.
Well she kind of always been like that since season 2-3 but the more you go through the seasons the more it’s showing. But hey this is what a spoiled kid ends up like
@@peterisawesomeplease Interesting. I've never thought about it like that.
Rory (and Lorelai, for that matter) were never intended to be perfect people, just good people. We met Rory as the perfect teenaged girl because she had been sheltered in Stars Hollow her entire life but as she starts going out into the world (Chilton, Yale, her grandparents) she starts to evolve into her own person rather than just being Lorelei Jr. This was the major conflict that consistently arose between mother and daughter (and usually between Lorelei and her parents) because while Lorelei rejected her privileged world, Rory was very much a cross between Lorelei and Richard & Emily, between Stars Hollow and the Upper Crust. Lorelei always wanted to believe that Richard and Emily were manipulating Rory into their world (and certainly they did occasionally manipulate her) but Rory just genuinely liked their world full of Ivy halls and intellect and breeding. You can be a good person and still be spoiled or make mistakes (even major ones) or be selfish...it's called being human, which as quirky as all these characters are, they're also very human.
They weren't very good people.
Morally!
@@rababshahzad They were fine people, they were just flawed human beings like we all are.
Well, Rory was never a decent person to begin with (cheating, lying, spoiled brat, etc). That’s why she ended up in a bad place and i guess that the lesson the series is trying to show.
@@TheStepmonkey WOW! I was gonna say that I wish I was as perfect as all of you as I grew up but I really don't cuz then i apparently wouldn't have learned anything other than how to pass judgements on others.
I really hate how rory’s character changed over the years. after she cheated with dean and dropped out of yale, i knew she wasn’t going anywhere with her life. not to mention that she was never criticized by anyone so she became really sensitive. It was so easy to tell how she couldn’t handle any criticism right when she got rejected for the job at the paper. Rory literally dropped out of yale and ended her entire career just because someone gave her the smallest amount of negative feedback.
chilton and start of yale was her peak.
Rory's downfall started when she started hanging around her rich grandparents, then she sleep with Dean when he was married and then when she got with Logan it got worse.
I get why Lorelai would say no, it’s a lot of private details in a book. But I’m glad she plays it later. Their mother daughter bond has always held such a special place on my heart. Didn’t love the revival, but loved that Rory decided to go the book writing direction. Also Rory would be a great novelist, that makes more sense to me than journalism.
Rory writing a book about their lives pretty much leans on the fourth wall since they are actually living in a story that revolves around their lives. The book is even titled "Gilmore Girls" which is the title of the series
Hopefully Rory will change the story format before she submits it for publication. If her book got published and praised all while Lorelai wasn't feeling good about it, it'd drive a wedge between them. Rory's put her mom in a difficult position. If they do another episode, I hope they find a way to balance things out.
Jess should of helped her through the book thing since he already wrote one and they would of bonded
TheShea Ray well, he gave her the book idea. I think that counts as helping, and I’m sure Jess would LOVE to bond further upon its completion
Should've would've
Jess can't come to the rescue every time she needs help. Jeez she has all the privilege in the world.
nah jess is way too good for her. He dodged a bullet.
Rory becoming a writer makes more sense than anything.
And the fact that she wrote Gilmore Girls.
You could tell that at 0:20 Alexis is trying to say her line early
I can't unsee/unhear it now.
Rory's entitled attitude is what made me quit the show. I adored Gilmore Girls from day 1, then Rory decided to sleep with Dean when he was married. I thought she would realize the mistake she had made, but no, she found a way to justify her actions. I stopped there and then. I periodically checked in and would only find her actions more and more deplorable. Eventually I gave up on every going back to finish the series. I saw bits of the last episode and it seemed she was finally on the right track. Then this revival of sorts came out and here we are, once again, experiencing a Rory that seems to be going backwards. Sleeping with a very engaged Logan, literally throwing any ounce of dignity she has out the window and looking down at life as though she is too good to do anything except write a book. It seems like the Palladino's hate Rory and refuse to let her grow up.
Gilmore girls was always a story about class warfare disguised as a YA drama. And if you were watching it as a YA drama I could understand giving up on it. But if you were watching it for the the deeper story the revival and Rory's life path is some of the most brilliant television ever made. Rory from the very beginning of the series is set up to represent how privilege corrupts. All the episodes up to the revival are told as if from Rory's book while the revival is told from an outside perspective. A key part of the revival story is realism. People who cheat are likely to continue to cheat, people with communication problems in their relationship will keep having them even after happily ever after, many people in small towns never escape, I could go on and on.
Rory is a realistic example of privilege. She is beautiful and charming so cheating does not ruin future romantic prospects. She is smart, works hard, and is well educated but lacks real passion or the work ethic to keep going even when she is doing badly. We see how this initially results in failure. She does not become a famous journalist. But we also see how the wealth and connections her family bring keep her on her feet anyway. She always has a job offer somewhere(like to Chilton) and never has to worry about having place of her own and food on the table. She is free to pursue her dream long after most people without her level of privilege would have been trapped in horrible jobs just to make ends meet.
But this is not just from the revival. We saw this from the very beginning of the series with how they contrasted her life with Jess, Lane, and Lorelai. A great scene exemplifying this is the party where Dean and Jess get in a fight over her. Lorelai calls her, her hero. Luke on the other hand is incredibly angry and specifically is worried about money. Think about this scene from the context of privilege(both financial but also gender).
@@peterisawesomeplease you gave this more thought than the writers lbr
She studied in chilton (private/ elite school) & Yale (Ivy league) to be a Journalist which was her dream for so long. Now, she seems undecided and wants to write a book about them?! Not ok! You spent a storyline about how important college is and her love story with decent and irresponsible guys, for what? It seems like Rory is the loser in the end. “Better this (write a book) or grad school”? School is good, she might find another guy who she will end up with. But she’s turning into a stubborn rich kid here. Sad revival.
You can see Amy Palladino as an Italian brunette treated her writing of the Rory character as a dumb blond even though she has brown hair.
You totally missed the point of the show. The entire point of Rory's character from the beginning was that it was privilege not underlying passion or skill that got her to the Ivy League. In the show you are shown over and over(like it is super obvious) that Rory is not actually fundamentally interested in academics or journalism. She is a stubborn rich kid. That is the point. And not just the point of the revival. The show is about the effects of class. Rory is the shows representation of privilege and is constantly compared against characters that have less either financially, intellectually, or physically.
“And do we fight crime?” Lol. Lorelai and Rory fighting crime is a book I’d happily read
re-watched Fall again last night (they were showing it on TV on The CW)
I love how there’s a video with a compilation of all the scenes relating to Rory’s book because it’s definitely one of my favorite parts of the revival
also really like the Little Women (1994) feels I get with the book scenes in Fall
Jess is the Bhaer to Rory’s Jo 💕
Do we fight crime 🤣🤣🤣
No matter what i like there relationship as mother and daughter very rare... 😍😍😍
Thank God it's rare, maybe if Rory had a real mother instead of a friend she wouldn't be such a horrible person
She was so sheltered from the beginning. She should have explore life more.... The rivival annoyed a lot of people who love the series🤔
I think it would be ok if Rory wrote her story, Rory doesn’t have a right to tell Lorelei’s story
As much as I love the show.dean in my opinion made a well timed escape and so did jess.seeing how she was turning the both of them into completely different people and not for the good Rory is a toxic person to those around her and never realised it till the only voice she heard was her own
To me Rory peaked in high school and she was the “good girl” but then she turned rogue and did her own thing on her whims. It isn’t necessarily good or bad but just goes to show good grades doesnt mean anything if your head isnt in the right place
Maybe it's just me.. but I hate what Rory has become.. I was so used to seeing her at her best, even at her awkward moments I still love her.. But to humanize Rory, we saw her flaws, her bad decisions, specially when she slept with a "wookie"! But then again, it's just me... nevertheless, I still love the show, I still love Lorelei and Rory 😍
Me: - Mom, a new season of GG is already on Netflix!
Mom: -Rory still acting like a spoiled brat?
Me: -...
Mom:- ....
Thanks Rory, you ruined the good times with my mom.
I feel like the second conversation is closer to what she shoulda said first instead of the entitled bratty convo they had at the cemetery. Handle Lorelai and her story with care and if anything present it to Lorelai as something that woulda been therapeutic for Rory to write about.
I want a part two.
Love these two characters to my core!! 💗
Aw that is sweet she wrote a book about her and her mom
Why do people judge Rory as if she's a real person. She's a flawed character, that's the whole point of the show. Her life was messy no matter how hard Lorelai tried, because people will make mistakes. Rory is all of us.
We all agree that we miss past Rory, but something that will never change, is her rellationship with her mom♥️
Hace poco ví por primera vez los 4 capitulos especiales,esperaba un poco más de ellos,como que ya estarían casados y con hijos,y que "Rory" hubiera estado más madura, pero no ,fuera de ello me gustó volver a verlos.
Like Lorelei said when Rory got into Yale "if its good for you, its REALLY good for me"
I wouldn't be surprised if she knew that her bookworm daughter would write a story of her life
like Logan said to Jess, writers paraphrase their lives anyway,
wouldn't be surprised if she knew that Rory was going to do this before she could read, not like she hasn't don't stuff like that before
I don't know how Rory is going to write a story about her and her mom when she doesn't even know the story. Lorelai didn't move out of Emily and Richard's house when she was pregnant. She lived with Emily and Richard for approximately a year when Rory was a baby.
I think Rory had a good idea in the book writing, but she should have thought beforehand that Lorelai might not want to have her life written about. I sympathise with both of them in this scene, but I’m more on Lorelai’s side
True, Lorelai wants peace and this bringing out to the public will just scrutinize her relationship with Emily and another chaos happens and Rory might strain with her mother's relationship
@juanchoresultay2704 right when her mom and lorelai got back on track too..
She didn't leave until a year after Rory was born.
I think Rory isn't a bad person, but where things went wrong is that she was ALWAYS shielded from any mistakes she did make. On top of that, you have to admit that everyone around her put a lot of pressure on her. Yes, it was well intentioned and done out of genuine belief that she's special, but she's lived her whole life thinking she had one path for her life, and an exact picture of where she was supposed to end up and when she should get there. No one ever really took the time to tell her it was okay to switch lanes, or take a break, or that being smart and talented and even being special did not mean you weren't guaranteed the life you dreamed of and that having a back up dream wasn't a failure. When it comes to her relationships, she didn't have a lot of examples of healthy relationships for a long time, outside of her grandparents, but didn't have a significant relationship with them until she was nearly a legal adult. And one thing I really think Lorelie messed up was that she really judged every boyfriend and relationship Rory had, and when the whole Dean/Rory/Jess triangle happened, she never talked to Rory about how it's normal and okay to start having feelings for someone new without losing feelings you already have for someone else. She just focused on how much she didn't like Jess. Lorelie was a very good mother, but I think those few mistakes she and her own parents made, just ended up with Rory being really confused about who she is, her options in life, what she wants, and no real way to work through it, so when things didn't go to plan, she just got lost and stuck and stopped trying, believing it would just fix itself at some point, because it always had, failing to realize that it was really her family that had actually been fixing things for her most of the time. I don't think she was spoiled exactly, but she was sheltered and protected a little too much, and essentially wasted all her potential and intelligence and stunted her personal growth.
I hate that Lorelai caved at the end and let her write it.
Ahh when characters we watch for entertainment realize that their life is entertaining and will write a book about that for others to be entertained.
The revival, which I wholeheartedly and metaphysically reject, was a nuclear bomb of shit that leveled Stars Hollow to a char. I am puzzled verily that the cast actually went along with it! I dedicated myself to watching all seven seasons over a couple of months. Absolutely wonderful show start to finish. I didn't even find out that beloved Edward Herrman passed away until I saw that Richard passed away in the revival, for I had sequestered myself during the binge. I was absolutely fraught with heartache! Then I proceeded to wade through the revival, but was only able to make it to the end of winter before quitting out of the preservation of my sanity. Was the fluke the seven seasons; or was it the epic failure and embarrassment that was the revival?
Amen. The revival literally ruined EVERYTHING from the amazing original show, which is a classic.
@@mateoairaudo5535 Thank you!
@@DermochelysCoriacea You got it.
I think the revival is the best piece of television I have ever seen and it breaks my heart that so many people seem to have missed the point of not just the revival but of the original show to. The show is a story about the effects of class and privilege disguised as a cutesy teen drama. But so many people never managed to see passed the disguise. The last season before the revival was not written by the same person but the rest was not a fluke. Both the revival and the original are amazing. Really its worth finishing the revival and rewatching a few episodes of the first couple of seasons afterwards but from the perspective of watching Rory's book.
Amy , the shows creator ,writer, producer, messed up big time with the revival. It was horrible. Like you said the original show was good all 7 seasons. Even though Amy didn't write Season 7, it was good for the most part. Amy should have picked up where Season 7 left off. There was so much there that she could have worked with .Made a 2 hour movie. Why did Amy have musicals in the revival, this wasn't the Stars Hollow fans knew and loved. Also had Miachel , go from a ladies man to being gay. Also ruined Rory's character. There were so many things wrong with the revival.
Fighting at a funeral, this show is the best
The name of Rory book should be from main Chick to mistress the Rory Gilmore story
Wait, did she not attend grad school or go for higher education?
What was she doing for 9 years?
Refusing the chance to teach at place like Chilton?
Refusing to marry the man who is so clearly in love with her?
What's her problem? What's wrong with her?
A big ego
@@TheMarkmcr
That's frankly the only plausible explanation
This means that all those episodes that we've watched on warner channel are from Rory's book ;)
Kind of makes one wonder what everyone's real names were, maybe even Rory's and Loriel's. I mean there's no doubt the last name is Gilmore but if their first name is too
I don’t think that the original episodes are from her book but only Amy Sherman and Dan Palladino know the truth. Amy said that their unusual mother daughter relationship being best friends was what sold the idea to the wb. If she was writing a memoir about their life together it would be based on fact...but if she has written a fiction book maybe. I have never understood why she was valedictorian at Chilton. She could have been salutatorian. But I was valedictorian when I graduated college and I was a transfer student like Rory was so it is possible! I think it was the perfect way to end the story because fans can write the rest of it anyway they want to. In my world, I think she should have a son and name him Richard because that might be the only way Lorelai and Luke can have a child they can help raise. I think she should be with Logan and married to him for a very short time when he finds out about the kid before he gets married to Odette then he dies and she ends up either alone or meeting her true love much later in her adult life. I don’t know how Alexis hid her pregnancy so well. She has a son, doesn’t she? Scott Patterson mentioned it once but I had no idea she was carrying a child! Was she pregnant this whole time during the whole revival? Unbelievable!
@@cmrwrite Didn't she had her son in fall 2015? They started filming the revival in February 2016, so she wasn't pregnant anymore.
Martina F. I don’t know but even so she still hid her pregnancy really well.
I think she was pregnant when they had that panel interview in Austin, Texas where they were just reminiscing. They either didn't have the deal sealed with Netflix at the time or they were not ready to announce it to the public yet. That was the summer of 2015 so Alexis was probably about 5 months pregnant. She's very slim, so a five-month tummy bump wouldn't be noticeable. Btw, I don't agree with the idea that Logan should die (if and when there would be another revival). That's too dark. One death is enough and that was bc Edward (Richard) really passed away. Rory and Logan's love story should be a happy one. I mean, Lorelai has finally settled with Luke. Rory deserves to be happy too and that would only happen if she's with Logan. She shouldn't take her mom's journey bc Logan really loves her and she feels the same way about him. There's a comment here about Lorelai being on the right side of the debate as to whether their story should be written or not. Well, she saw the light, so to speak, on this matter. Of course, she should let Rory write it. That's the least she could do after allowing Rory to grow up without Chris, her dad, essentially. Now, Rory is on the fence whether she should tell the father of her kid about the pregnancy. That's a direct result of how she was raised. I'm not a conservative at all, but a father has something to contribute to a kid's welfare. If he isn't abusive, and certainly Chris wasn't, he shouldn't have been deprived of a real relationship with Rory. That awkwardness between Rory and Chris in the revival was bc they didn't really have a close father-daughter thing. Rory should definitely let the kid have a relationship with Logan who everybody says is the father, logically anyway.🌺🌈🌼!
3:37 a parent isn’t supposed to be on your side unconditionally- part of their job is to tell you when you’re in the wrong and steer you right. But because Rory spent so much of her life being praised, she dealt with criticism very poorly.
"are we fighting crime?"- Lorelai Gilmore
I hope they bring the show back it was the best show out their
even the book was jess' idea ... no one original thought from rory ... smh
Oh my god, of course it was fucking easy to write, she literally lived half of it and heard the other half from either her mother and grandmother. She really just went and picked the easy way 🙄
My God Rory really went downhill spiral! Her entitlement were off the charts! Why did writers hated Rory so much?! They turned her into a broke, spoiled, cheating, smug, career-less, ungrateful, entitled, horrible person. I mean its still character development but she just sucks all in all!
“it’s not fair🙁💔” are you five rory ?
"just give this to me" is something a toddler says when their parents don't give them candy. It is not something you get to say as a 32 year old who was handed an education and gave up the second someone critisized her
I 100% hate her
Anyone else kind of annoyed that Lorelai is clearly still holding a grudge against Jess all these years later despite everything he has achieved?
They never came into contact in these episodes. She's referring to what he thought of her ten years ago
This wasn’t about Jess though
YEEESS!!!! Especially annoying giving into consideration that he achieved much more than Rory, and he did all of this by HIMSELF, without parents, grandparents, their money, great education, etc. etc. ...
You know, normally I'd say as a debut author you should never write stories about your own life...
But considering Rory's life is the story of an extremely popular TV show XD
Yeah it was because Rory wrote the book that Gilmore Girls the show was born! ;-)
I love Rory flaws and all
"its my life" "its OUR life" ..... so entitled.
For the record I'm a terrible pitcher too. I always try to pitch ideas to my friend before I write, she hates the idea, every time. After I write it, she reads it and likes it.
Porqué no la traducen ?.Esta serial me encanta y no la encuentro completa.😐😐😕😕
Can't believe this was the only thing Rory could come up with. 😕
I think it was a stroke of brilliance. The original series is a class warfare story told through the lens of a light hearted feel good YA drama. The revival continues the same story but with the lens removed. The book makes this connection obvious. The book is the show before the revival. The lens is Rory's warped perspective. So many little connections exist between the revival and the original show that work brilliantly from this perspective.
For one small example. Lorilai and Rory indirectly make fun of people who are overweight in the original series. In the original series it is seemingly not done to make them look bad(unless you are being really astute, it was intentional) . They are just jokes and clever banter. But in the reboot we see them do the same thing at the pool. But this time there is no cutesy music. Instead of being part of clever banter it is just blunt. It obviously makes Rory and her mother look like assholes(lol tons of blog articles were written by people being pissed about it but none were written when the original show did the same thing). We, the viewer, are being cleverly shown how beauty, charm, and intelligence hide unacceptable behavior.
This is just one example but generally the whole point of the show and the revival is to demonstrate how privilege works. The book is a brilliant mechanism to make comparisons. As a privileged person I am now forced to consider how much of my life am I seeing through the books perspective.
What was wrong with it?
Amé la última línea.
I feel like it was out of character for Lorelai to say no about the book but I still agree with her for saying no since it's about her personal life.
I think the book is a good idea.
I'd admire Lorelei, she doesn't Rory to write a book about her, but in the end caves in to make Rory happy, and Rory really wants her moms approval to finish the book.
2:59 She should have said 'Kelly Bishop could play the mother' lol
Rory is the perfect millennial, so much promise early on only to fail in life, then writes a self-serving book. Surprised she didn’t start a RUclips channel.
Ehh sort of. She is shown as an example of the effects of privilege. I do like that the show was not afraid to address types of privilege specific to millennial's. For example although female beauty has always been a privilege to some extent, the degree that is exploitable today compared to the past is vastly different. The show does a good job contrasting Rory's experience in this regard with her mother and grandmother. But I don't think the theme is that specific to Millennials. Many aspects of Rory's privilege are much older. For example she never has to worry about being capable of paying bills or getting a job of some sort. This is shown by her job offer to her old school or with her grandfathers associates and her ability to move to Queens. It is also shown throughout the show with how much of Rory's grandfathers wealth being shown to come from aspects of his personal business ties. Or later how Luke could have taken advantage of those ties to sling shot his buisness.
Most millennials don't have a rich father, step-father, mother and rich grandparents and a $250,000 trust fund from their great-grandparents. Nor do many of us get to turn down prestigious jobs at an acclaimed private school. Most of us also don't make fun of overweight people on the beach, or have serial affairs with multiple men. As for living with parents/ receiving assistance from them... the 'Great Generation,' was often living in multi-generational households due to the economy plus in a lot of cultures moving-out at 18 is not the norm.
So tired of people bashing an entire age group. ALL of the millennials I know are caring people trying to make the world a better place as doctors, nurses, engineers, activists, creators of nonprofit organizations, the list goes on.
All you have to do is call my name, and I’ll be there on the next train... I ❤️ Gilmore Girls 👧🏻👩🏻
