Not In This Lifetime
:: Where the hate never dies ::

+ Who We Are +
We are a group of Gilmore Girls fans that absolutely dislike Rory Gilmore and Jess Mariano and their 'relationship', if we can even call it that. We truly think the show would have been better off without it! Despite our sometimes long and rather intense rants and discussions, we really are friendly and love to meet new people. Haters and lurkers alike, please don't be shy! Come in and vent to your heart's content! Any defense of these two is purely satirical.

"How can you let your daughter be with that ABOMINABLE THUG?"

~Memorable NITL Quotes~

Jess: What are you sleeping with him or something?
Lorelai: Excuse me?
Jess: I don't know. The whole starry eyed 'you're so much better off, just give it a chance' speech.
You're either really naïve, or you're getting some.
Lorelai: Ugh. There have been very few moments in my life where I have actually wished I had one of those enormous cream pies you can just smash in someone's face, but this is definitely one of them.

------
Luke: Where's Jess?
Lorelai: Outside working on his "Breakfast Club" audition. He's getting good.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: Luke, I'm sorry. That kid is way more screwed up than you think he is.

-----
Luke: You stay away from her while you're here.
Jess: Stay away from who?
Luke: You know who I mean.
Jess: Gee, you're so cryptic.
Luke: You've done all the damage there you're gonna, okay?

-----
Emily: How can you let your daughter be with that abominable thug?
Lorelai: Mom –
Emily: First he arrives late, how disrespectful is that? Then he’s rude to Rory, rude to me.
Lorelai: Mom –
Emily: Oh, and that attitude – I wanted to slap that monosyllabic mouth of his. And God forbid they’re in another accident together or his heap of a car breaks down and Lord Jim has decided cell phones are beneath him and they’re stranded in the middle of nowhere. How can you let this happen? He had a black eye. He belongs in jail!

-----
Lorelai: I know you think that Jess is your friend, but he’s not. He is a completely out of control, really angry kid who has no respect for Luke, who has no respect for me. . .

-----
Matthew: I'm not kidding. We'll call it... Cedar Bar Redux.
Jess: I would kick my own ass if we called it that.

Here we are, #22.

It's been almost two years since I wrote this, but my letter to the Literati population still stands. I'm less satirical about it now.

fox24

Thanks I am going to retread it I love that letter

musicalredhead

I added a line with a link under the picture at the top. The rebuttal to their theory on ASP's wishes is too long for the OP.

fox24

I saw it looks good

musicalredhead

I was supposed to add some fics to the OP. Maria, did you make that list on the last thread or the one before that? We moved pretty quickly through #21. I can go back and find it, I just can't remember which thread it was on.

fox24

I made it in the last thread I think ariound the 250s

musicalredhead

I found the list. It was on the 20th thread.

Okay, they're all added to the OP.

fox24

Thanks I didn't realize what thread it was

musicalredhead

We really burned through that last one quick.

fox24

We really been active lately

TL22

Yes we did, As soon as I have some time I'll hunt around for more quotes and articles. Also I think I'll go back to Pamie and see what she has to say about Rory.

TL22

This is a post from the Jess unappreciation thread circa 2004 seems like they had Jess lovers jump on the thread

1.I probably shouldn't be in here, seeing as i'm a humongus lit. and an even bigger dodger. But I just have to say something..

Jess is gone (for now). You got what you wanted. Why are you still complaining?? Yes, you all have just as much of a right to hate Jess as I do to hate Dean but I still have to deal with seeing Dean every week and you don't have to see Jess. At all. Anymore. Seems like the Dean haters should be the ones complaining.

And can I ask you for those of you who are Narcs, i'm guessing most if not all of you are, what did Rory and Dean EVER have in common?? I've been asking that question for a while now and I have yet to get a response. So please, please fill me in.

Ooh, and I heard a comment was made about how Alexis and Milo have no chemistry on-screen. That's just insane. They have more chemistry than any couple i've ever seen on tv, and I watch a lot of tv. In fact, they have so much chemistry on-screen that it carries off-screen where they are a real-life couple.

If you want to talk about no passion just look at Dean and Rory. They have less passion than anyone i've seen on tv. Tris and Rory have more chemistry. Hell, Marty and Rory have more chemistry and they're just friends.

But then again, I see most of these posts are dated a while back. So maybe some of you have converted to non Jess haters, and maybe some of you have just decided not to care about him anymore.

Sorry if this offends anyone or if it's against the rules or anything. If it is i'll edit. But I just had to say this.

xxxxxxxxxx

All I am going to say about passion and kissing is the following....Every time Jess and Rory kissed it was like two hens plucking at each other and Jess never kissed Rory the way Dean did at the end of season one.

The following is replies to the Jesslover

2.Of all the dumbest things I have ever read in my entire life. I am not a Jess "hater" never was a fan but I too feel that this needs to be said.

rorynjess4ever your point of view is so twisted it has no business being on this thread. If you need to know what Rory and Dean ever had in common watch the show from the beginning, don't come in here thinking you are going to get some mindless defenses that are prevalent on your type of threads...

"What do Rory and Dean have in common? One of my all time favorite questions, here is another one; What do Luke and Lorelai have in common?

Sorry if this offends anyone, or if this is against the rules,

My signature: 100% Rory and Dean, 100% Luke and Lorelai

3.Ooh .. a Jess unappreciation thread! Perfect, cuz I'm really hating Jess today.

I watched There's the Rub ... I hate Jess in that episode.. I'm not liking Rory for the way she treated Dean, and how she lied to Dean either.

But I can forgive Rory. I will never forgive Jess, cuz he was the troublemaker!

And Rory and Dean do have things in common! He always read books she reccommended, he is a smart guy! Rory said it herself, if he wanted to, he could go to a ivy league school.

I think it is pretty neat that there was Jess hate ten years ago.

musicalredhead

So their love is fine to live on when he wasn't around, but the hate should die- out of sight, out of mind. Sorry, it's only Rory who functions like that.

I love how even 10 years ago, they threw Luke and Lorelai back as the answer to common interests, since Lits are all L/L shippers as well. It's a duel ship apparently. Of course, then they say L/L obviously have the same values. And then try to say Jess and Rory do to, but there isn't anything to back up that argument.

TL22

Luke and Lorelai is one of the Lits reasons Jess and Rory should be together.

Notice in fanfiction you'll find stories that Luke and Lorelai have twins and Rory and Jess have twins in the same story.

Luke loves Lorelai so it stands to reason that Jess should love Rory because Jess is really a mini Luke (to the lits who don't think he is like Lorelai) and Rory is a mini Lorelai.


I just had a random thought. Eventually Rory would inherit all the Gilmore money and half of the Hayden money and if she married Logan half of the Huntzberger money. Hell she could buy the NY Times. I may have an idea for a little comedy fanfiction.
