I agree with all you said.

But I am talking about "full circle". Paris is similar to her mother; Lane is similar to her mother and her grandmother.
But Lorelai is different (in many ways) from Emily.

And Rory? Is Rory similar to Lorelai? I think, that Rory is similar to Lorelai (she is pregnant and single), but she is also similar to Emily (she is involved with engaged man).

So, IMO Amy has a lot of freedom for new instalment(s). The story is still relatively open.
In the end Rory's fate could be similar to Lorelai's or even to Emily's fate or she could have completely different fate than both of them (Rory could end up with "her Max" for example).

At the moment Jess/Rory seem a logical solution, but Amy could simply do another twist.
But as I said before: IMO it's not completely hopeless for J/R, because Amy's interpretation of Rory's love life in interviews is similar to yours.

Rory Gilmore is the original Summer

When they say full circle I don't think they are suggesting they are alike personality wise but that their lives will follow the same path in circumstance. I don't think Lane is anything like Mrs Kim but her life has followed a similar path, same with Paris with her kids hating her, and Rory certainly doesn't have the inner strength and independence of Lorelai, yet here we are.

We were pretty much told from season 1 episode 1 what was going to happen. I can't remember the exact dialogue but Luke said to Rory 'watch it or you are going to end up just like your mother' and she responds 'too late'. It was there from the beginning.

Amy obviously can go where she likes with things now, but Dean is out of the picture, she made it quite clear that she didn't want a future with Logan and that stupid life and Death brigade nonsense was their last hurrah, she tried the 'random other guy' with Paul which was obviously shown to be a disaster, and surely she won't end things with Rory beng single for a third time.

It has to be our time next, it just has to dammit. We deserve it!!

Sorry I am ranting .

I'm kinda sick of the whole full circle discussion

Litlover73

Well you're no fun .

It may be our only hope.

That's all good and true. But where is Emily in Rory's story? Rory's story is similar to Lorelai's story, there is no doubt about it. But what about similarities between Emily and Rory'?

Rory's life definitively won't be the same as Emily's life, but there could be some similarities between them. After all, Rory is closer to Emily's world than Lorelai.

I am not saying that Rory will end up with Logan, Dean or someone random like Paul or that she will stay single. But Amy has also other possibilities.for Rory(just a few examples: Tristan, Marty or someone new).

Jess is Rory's soulmate (according to Amy). But they could (or could not) be together at the end.

I agree with college AND even revival Rory being a lot more like Emily than Lorelai because she embraces her wealth/privilege unlike Lorelai who has been running away from it her whole life. I wish Lane and Paris were more of their own individual characters instead of the whole you're going to end up just like your parents crap

Litlover73

I totally agree that Rory is more like Emily than Lorelai ever could be, but I think Amy showed in season 6 that Rory venturing into that world isn't great. She wasn't her true self or particularly happy. She was playing a part. Lorelai would be devastated if Rory followed Emily's path. Can you imagine Rory playing house with Logan and that awful family in London, hosting functions for his work colleagues and spoilt friends, away from her family and friends with a child. Ugh...No thanks.

Rory and Jess could have it all and be everything to each other.

This gif set and blurb is quite interesting.

Notes In The Margins — theheroheart: Gilmore Girls ♦ That’ll Do, Pig I...

It boggles my mind that people think Dean was the perfect first boyfriend. Rory was scared of him for goodness sake.

I could so easily imagine Rory and Jess in this scene with this quote

also this scene

I can see that.

have you seen this post?

In a champagne supernova in the sky

Litlover73

Yes I have seen that before and is very accurate.

Another time I think they showed Jess to be a protector of Rory is with the umbrella parallel between Jess and Logan.

We have Jess handing her an umbrella to protect her head from danger, and then we have Logan handing her an umbrella to jump to what could possibly have been her early demise, all in the name of fun surrounded by his idiotic friends.

Quite clever don't ya think .

This is nice from twitter

Alexis needs a good feed methinks.

the umbrella is/will always be firmly/definitively solely a Jess thing to me not a Logan thing (plus it's just so sweet/cute/adorable)
