Chris neglected Rory, and Lorelai feeling secure in her parenting doesn't change that. Chris has acknowledged it, and both Lorelai and Rory have acknowledged it. Both have chosen to overlook his neglect to a certain degree, but that doesn't erase it. Lorelai's pointed reference in IRBIP showed she's well aware of it, even if she did let him off the hook. That's show canon." It's also show canon what she said in GO BULLDOGS!. You cannot pick and choose from the canon. Again, I am not justifying Chris neglect. I am simply stating that it's not as important as folks such as yourself make it out to be. I also would want to know what Chris not being around kept from his daughter. Again, Rory is better off for having Lorelai around...than not...I think It's a horse of a different colour. Also, while we are here, let me state that I do not feel the CHRIS HATE is only attached to JJs or LLs. I feel it's just a personal thing. Which causes all the problems that we have in this thread. Some of us do not make it or take it personally. While some of us do.
That aside, currienc, love makes people crazy. It also makes them leap, jump, dive, and do all other feats of daring. It's love. Lorelai LOVES CHRIS. Yes...blah blah not blah blah Luke. However, she loved him enough, to dive head-first into something. It did not work out. Now she will dust herself off for a few weeks, then she will get back in the game. ETA: Leonana said; "If I find nothing in a show that emotionally resonates with me..." Yeah, the show emotionally resonates with me, but I do not need to see so much of myself in these characters. I guess that I can seperate me from what I expect from the story on this show. If it were my world; Rory and Logan would be married already. There would also have been a time-skip...they rule. Nevertheless, I get what you are stating, and you do have stuff in common with Lorelai...trippy. |
