Warning, this is a criticism of the evolution of the Rory and Paris relationship. I just wanted to get y’all’s thoughts on it.

Quote:

5. Paris and Rory were better enemies than friends.

There are some people in the world who are so much more fascinating when pitted against each other. Rory Gilmore and Paris Geller are two of these people. To me, Paris was the Draco Malfoy of Gilmore Girls, right down to her blonde roots and misplaced sense of entitlement. The rivalry between the two of them added some complexity to Rory’s character, as she all-too-often seemed to be untouchable and unrealistic in her perfection. However, when we add the challenge of a schoolmate who is both extremely conniving and overwhelmingly driven to success, we get some interesting character development.But all of this changed when they randomly became friends at a concert, and it got even worse when they went to Yale together. Maybe I only speak for myself when I say this, but I honestly stopped caring about Paris when she stopped being a character foil.
