But Brad Pitt isn't realistic. I'm talking about someone who's in your life and you could conceivably act upon. (If I didn't care, I'd be fascinated. This will be coming out of nowhere, from a woman whose boyfriend just LITERALLY flew to her side in her time of need, from someone who turned down guys she supposedly might have loved to be with him, who looked past girls she thought he was cheating on her with, who said to her mother "this could be the one" and I'm living with him because I love him. All of this, leads up to a intense crush on someone completely out of the blue?) Do you get the impression they are trying to break them up, because I sure do.

I'm getting the impression that Rory will learn that sometimes you can be deeply in love with one person and still have feelings for another.

An FF member took the tour today but she posted about it elsewhere on FF and asked that it not be taken off that thread.

I just wanted to point that out so no one inadvertently brings it over.

To what end?

Like Lorelai "loves Christopher" and "is in love with Luke"? How come RL won't break up after that?

Sandlynn · 01-22-2007, 09:51 PM

What gets me is this is the Valentine's Day episode. So, so romantic, huh? A far cry from last years.

Maybe DR was hit in the head by a rock and forgot about the whole Rory kissing Jess thing in season 6, and he's somehow created the same situation again. Rory has an intense crush, it clouds her vision for awhile, and then she sees the light and becomes 110% sure that Logan is the one for her. But I know this is upsetting to diehard Sophies because A) it makes no sense given all that they've been through as a couple and B) Logan deserves better than the whole TA situation.

So I'm hoping it's just one of those things that plays out so differently than we imagine. That the "intense" part is just not that intense. That it only lasts an episode or so and gives way to a deeper SL -- I mean, aren't there enough things they can write about? Aren't her parents divorcing after only a few months of being married? Now that's intense.

I'm probably digging myself into a hole here, but Jason, you said you won't stop grouping until the stereotype proves incorrect. Well, I think there are a few JJ posters that prove your generalizations incorrect each time, me included. But you know that. Because I'm Hello Kitty!...though I've yet to figure out what that means

How exactly does this apply to the TYPE-0? Please, explain, how this works for THEM.

A crush can be intense and shallow at the same time.

Tara Ashley · 01-22-2007, 10:00 PM

Forgive me, but what is TYPE-0?

Didn't you ever daydream about a cute professor in college?

Being in a relationship doesn't mean you can't notice someone else who is attractive. ACTING on it is an entirely different matter. For all we know, she may just admire the TA from afar and never even talk to him. Based on what we've seen on screen so far this season and the spoiler about Logan flying to be at her side, I'm not ready to throw away their relationship based on this latest spoiler. I'm thinking (hoping?) that it will turn out to be a harmless infatuation.

Sandlynn · 01-22-2007, 10:16 PM

This seems like a season 4 storyline they've hijacked and moved to season 7. At this stage of the game, I feel like I'm watching someone paint by numbers, rather than create organic storylines to suit where the character is at this point. But this late in the game, is not good. It leaves no time for recovery, so I have low expectations. That's why spoilers mean nothing to me anymore. I wouldn't care if they dried up because they bring me no excitement or interest. I'm just going to finish watching this season and go back to reading.

Saranoh · 01-22-2007, 10:33 PM

I still don't get why a crush would spell the end for Rory and Logan. I certainly understand why sophies don't like it, but I don't particularly get the doom and gloom.

TheJSW · 01-22-2007, 10:44 PM

Sandlynn, I am not kidding, there are no VIABLE Logan and Rory spoilers. There's no need for you to be distressed. When there is nothing to be distressed about in the least.

While I am not trying to throw Sara under the bus. She made the best point about this spoiler. What's INTENSE to one person is not INTENSE to the other. So, I think it's a fair statement to make, that her source could see something in this whole TA that's not there. Especially if she's not a fan of TYPE-0. It's plausible. That's all I am stating...and not trying to start a fight. If I were...my word choice...would be different.

Nevertheless, Hello Kitty, uh, no, sorry...do not and never will see it. You are all the same to me. Different names but with the same attitude and takes on things, that I simply do not get on a fundamental level. This does not make you BAD people or anything. As posters, we disagree, but people is a totally different ball-game. That reply of yours is very HELLO KITTY. Thus the reason you have the nick...

!

Oh yeah, one last thing, we get that having CRUSHES is fun. Yet, have you people, ever seen a film called LITTLE CHILDREN? Again, we get that you need to daydream. We simply think that daydreaming with that foxy guy who adores you...makes you look a bit...a lot..DAFT.

I simply refuse to look at everything through the prism of ME. There's more to this story than how I feel about it. JJs and LLs never seem to see that...no matter how many state as much. Again, I do not doubt, that Rory and her father have talks. If you would maybe read one of my post. You would have noticed that this is a theme that I have been on for over a year. Yes, they have to deal with things, but Rory has never been written from the prism of YOU or I. To see her as such...miss very much a part of analytical thinking that I refuse to give up to make anyone happy in this forum or in life.

It was an honest and thoughtful answer to your question, in what I thought was a discussion. Different POVs aren't automatically condescending, yet everyone gets lumped into one group and it's assumed they are.
