NOLoRo #31 ~ Because they just don't fit

Welcome to the NoLoRo Thread!

NoLoRo = No Logan and Rory.
This is the thread for those who do not support Logan and Rory's relationship.
Rules: Bash Rory. Bash Logan. But don't bash Matt or Alexis. They're real people, with real feelings.






"Logan and Rory's relationship has never been based on deep talkin'.
Their relationship has been based on 'Let's have fun!
Let's avoid reality! Let's just go play and party!'"
- Amy Sherman- Palladino with Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide

Lorelai Gilmore

"Logan I feel like you could get 15 years into your marriage and you’re still like worried
about his commitment. I always feel like Rory was one step behind, like trying to chase
his full attention and full love and… respect almost. I don’t think that fight ever ends with a Logan."
- Kieki (Lane)








Reasons:
1) Because he doesn’t love her.

33) Because he has buried the real Rory alive and left her to dig herself out.
34) Because he's not man enough to step up to the plate and take over the family business.
35) Because he's not man enough to give up Daddy's money and strike it out on his own.

Quotes:
Lorelai: Listen, I know you two love the Huntzburgers and have already planned the wedding,
but I have to tell you these are not good people.

Richard: What do you mean?
Lorelai: Logan's parents attacked Rory at that dinner they invited her to. They told her she was not
good enough to marry into the Huntzburger family.
Emily: Not good enough??
Lorelai: That's why Mitchum gave her this internship. He let her work for a while, he built her up,
and then he clobbered her. He told her that she doesn't have what it takes to be a journalist and that
she needs to find something else to do with her life.
Richard: What?
Lorelai: That's why Rory wasn't at dinner last Friday. She was devastated. And then she and Logan
went out and stole a yacht.

Richard: Now hold on!
Lorelai: Ever since she got involved with these people, things have been bad. She's up, she's down,
and she should be stronger than this, I know, but she's young and she's Rory, and she's come so far.
I just don't want her to lose this.

Future title ideas
Logan < everyone.
Logan was just a phase.
None of the guys at the reunion were "Team Logan”
Milo and Matt agree Logan's a dick
Two-bit, spoiled, waste of a trust fund.
We dont want to even entertain the thought of them ending together in the revival.
“Maybe he isn’t good for you. Do you really want to be in the business of changing someone?”
“You my beautiful, brainy, fabulous daughter were wondering what you had done wrong. Is that really the kind of relationship you wanna be in?”
Who would say no to “the one”s proposal?
Logan is a one-night stand at best, and the nightmare of your life at worst.
the one night stand that never left.
“I was almost going to say ‘I’m more open to Team Logan,’ but that’s just not true." - Keiko
"There’s so many Logan lovers. I’m just not with it. I can’t!" -Keiko
"Is he handsome? Yeah. He has a lot of money? Yeah. He’s not great as a boyfriend." -Keiko
"I just can’t do it. Sorry!”- Keiko
"Logan I feel like you could get 15 years into your marriage and you’re still like worried about his commitment."
"I always feel like Rory was one step behind, like trying to chase his full attention and full love and… respect almost. " - Keiko
"I don’t think that fight ever ends with a Logan." - Keiko

LOGAN: Hey, I know you. No, wait-wait, don't tell me. I'm seeing a uniform of some sort.
FINN: Maytag repairman.
MARTY: I've bartended for you -- for your parties.
LOGAN: That's right, you have. You're a talented man. He makes a kick-ass margarita.
MARTY: thanks
LOGAN: It's good to see you again. What's your name?
MARTY: Marty. Uh, this is Rory.
LOGAN: Hi. So, assuming your services are still for hire this year, your financial situation hasn't changed at all?
MARTY: Nope.
LOGAN: Good. Okay, I'll give you a call. Where are you living now?
MARTY: Branford.
LOGAN: Oh, excellent -- Branford. All right. Good running into you.


Season 6 winner
6.08 Let Me Hear Your Bailakas Ringing Out
LOGAN: Yes you did. Don't make me feel guilty for your drinking and partying. That's your choice.
I'm not forcing you when I ask you out, you can say no!
RORY: It's all we do.
LOGAN: It's not all we do.
RORY: It's all you do.
LOGAN: Well, that's my prerogative. You know? You're damn straight, I'm going to party.
I'm going to do it while I have the chance because come June, my life is over!
RORY:Oh, yes, your horrible life, let's hear about it!
LOGAN: Got a week?
RORY: You have every door open to you! You have opportunities that anyone would kill for, including me!
LOGAN: No one's stopping you from making whatever you want happen! Go into journalism!
Go into politics! Be a doctor, be a clown! Do whatever you want!
RORY: It's not as easy when it's not handed to you.
LOGAN: Really. It's all so easy for me? I don't want that life! It's forced on me! You talk about all these doors being open?
All I see is one door, and I'm being pushed through it! I have no choice! You try living without options.
RORY: How hard are you fighting it?
LOGAN: I didn't tell you to quit Yale! You did that! I gave you one month, you went beyond the month and it had nothing to do with me!
It was all you! Now, you want to change, change it. But don't blame me, don't you dare blame me! You know what, why don't you go off with John, Jack, whatever his name is!


Season 7 winner
7.10 Merry Fisticuffs

LOGAN: Actually, Marty introduced us.
LUCY: What?
LOGAN: I'm sorry. I can't be a part of this.
LUCY: A part of what?
RORY: Logan.
LOGAN: They've known each other since freshman year.
LUCY: I don't understand.
LOGAN: Rory and Marty, they used to hang out all the time at Branford and watch "Duck Soup."










Oh man, I don’t know. I don’t know. You know what? I gotta be honest. I’ll give you this:
If this is the last season, I would like to see, actually, Rory be single as she goes off. So, that’s
actually my hope. So, um, as an audience member and also being inside – both ways – I’d love to
see Rory kind of do her own thing when the whole thing’s done. So, uh, that’s what’s in my head.

-Matt Czuchry

Right I finally have time and I have a lot of thoughts.

Firstly I don't hate Logan, he is tolerable, but that smarmy cheesy grin and the way he talks keeps me from liking him. He hasn't done anything bad yet...he is seriously the mustard powder though .

Secondly, where did he pluck Ace from? They had a handful of scenes together and I am not sure if I was making a cuppa , or ducked off to the toilet, but next thing I know he is calling her Ace and she doesn't bat an eyelid. Is it some obscure reference I don't get...certainly wouldn't be the first time.

Thirdly the pacing of this relationship. What was the rush? They meet in episode 3 I think, and she is dragging him into bed in Ep 14 . They have not bothered to build any kind of emotional connection, or any kind of tension that makes us long for them to get it together, like they did with LL and RJ. I am guessing that Amy wants them to have more of a physical connection than an emotional one.

Fourthly the fact that he has no connection to anyone else on the show or Stars Hollow makes it hard to get on board with them for me. He has no understanding, as yet, of Rory's relationship with her mother, or her life in the town. Yes he shows her a fun time, but I just don't find it in anyway captivating. I find myself zoning out when they are together.

Lastly I want to talk about Amy smashing us over the head with a sledgehammer. Watching this show with hindsight is a very satisfying thing. What do I mean by this you at ask. The scene with Rory and Christopher at Emily and Richards wedding, where he tells her about his and Lorelai's first kiss, and then Rory does the exact same thing with Logan. The parallel between Logan and Chris is being thrown at us in such an obvious way and it really makes me happy. Also in the next episode, just in case we were too dumb to get hit with the first sledgehammer she backs it up with Logan calling her 'kiddo'. WHAT the hell....kiddo?
Considering this it also makes the conversation with Christopher in the revival a huge deal. She will definitely raise this child without Logan.

That's all for today. I am three quarters of the way through season 5 so will no doubt have more to say the further I get.

Sorry, one more thing. The Life and death brigade. I can only assume I am meant to be laughing at their antics....I ain't!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I always disliked 'Ace'. And yes, you'll see more of the Chris parallels in a future ep.

A couple of random thoughts.

Emily and Richard's fawning over Logan and having him over for dinner was as expected. Their approval of Christopher and Logan and their complete disdain for Luke and Jess is yet another obvious, but appreciated parallel between the boys. We see Logan trying to pinch some momento for a LDB stunt, which surprisingly didn't really bother me, I guess because I don't feel any particular feelings toward anything he does at present.

However what did naff me off is Rory's response, or lack thereof to his behaviour. Imagine if Jess did that...oh my goodness he would have been raked over the coals like a criminal. Yet with Logan, she is so desperate to be liked by him she treats it as a joke. Ugh!!! I can really see what fans mean now regarding Rory completely changing with Logan, even though I don't necessarily feel it's Logan' doing.

Logan throwing her a party after the arrest thing. On the surface a nice thing to do I suppose. He does act the part of a great boyfriend, treats her well, helps her if she needs anything, but I think she needs more than that. I don't feel like there is any substance to them.

Oh and the handbag . A very effective tool used by Amy to demonstrate that Logan really has no idea what makes Rory tick.

Logan's insecurity over Jess made me a little but happy, but his treatment of him was infuriating. I will never forgive Logan for interrupting what could have been some lovely Lit moments.

IMO Amy wanted to show Rory and Logan in one of those casual college relationships: they had fun together and they even challenged each other a little bit (in a good way), but they didn't really consider anything longterm. There was no atmosphere "the greatest love of my life" (at the beginning).

I agree, that Logan could never be part of SH world (he has too many obligations to his family and their world), just like Jess would never be a part of Emily's world (Jess would despise that high society world and would mock it).
But there is a catch. Logan is connected - to Richard and Emily, they are part of the same circle as Logan's family.
We know, that Lorelai hates that high society circles. But what about Rory? Does she hate them too? Or does she actually love it?

LDB IMO represents that high society a little bored and nihilistic circles.

Stealing a boat? It's a very problematic behavior IMO. If someone else did it (difficult male like Jess), they could arrest him for quite some time.
What happened to Rory? Lack of Lorelai's and grandparents supervision? Logan's influence? Influence of new friends? Rebelliousness against Lorelai?
I don't know. But I would really like to discuss about it.

I hate how Logan treated Jess in 6x08. Just horrible.

The very worst thing happened for me in the revival - the posibility of Rory having this idiots kid. I just hate that idea. I would rather she didn't keep it - there - I said it. And truthfully, the way Rory was portrayed in the revival, I don't think she would make a very good mother. At least not yet. Rory likes to plan and this definately is not in her plans. She's very selfish and I just don't see her wanting to work a child into her life.

Sorry about the dp but had trouble getting this to work.

A lot of the change in Rory is down to Logan's influence. In truth the GG have always had a self-centreed trait and Rory, for basically her entire life, has had the town she lives in worship her and think she could do no wrong - it was bound to go to her head at some point. But Logan and his ilk were perhaps the first people she was awed by and that didn't worship her - I think Logan often made her feel inadequate, certainly in the beginning and his family definately added to that. She got swept up by him and his ways. Logan and his friends saw the world as their personal playground and treated everyone in it as though it was and everyone else was merely a guest. Rory has maintained that mentality in some ways. I think she sees her former boyfriends as still hers - she certainly has no problem cheating with them, knowing full well that they are in serious relationships - even marriages. It's as if these other women have no thoughts or feelings. I think she was genuinely shocked to learn Logan's fiancee had moved in with him - as if until then, his fiancee wasn't even real until she was physically invading Rory's world and making life inconvienient for her - despite being engaged to Logan, it was impossible for Rory to even remotely consider the fact that Logan could love this other woman, even more than Rory. Logan cheating means nothing to him in a way - has he ever been truly faithful? Another woman moving in with him is what it took for Rory to start to wake-up and yet she still went along with him after her turned up in SH.

What does all that say about her now? I could maybe understand if I thought she was madly in love with him but it never felt like she was to me. If she was - why didn't she fight for him? Answer - because she didn't want him - at least not on a perminant basis. While Logan sees the world as his playground - Rory sees the people in it as the toys in her playbox. Eventually, when a toy is used beyond all recognition she'll let it go - even smile to see it happy with someone else - such as with her Dean-doll. Rory, particularly in her personal life, is very much like a child.

A rather scathing review of Rory's character development, I know, but i have found so little to like about her since the college years really. Her decline, to be fair to Logan, did start before him but it deepened under his influence.

I hate that Logan is the father, but I don't feel the same way. I would never want her to not have the baby. I think having a kid would probably help Rory to change her ways. At least, I would hope so.

See, that's the idea that I hate the most - this notion that becoming a parent can automatically change your ways - it doesn't - not unless you want it too. (Admittedly, it is a sensitive issue for me due to my line of work.)

There is nothing about Rory in the revival that tells me that she wants an child. And there is nothing worse than a child being resented purely for existing. I'm not saying Rory wouldn't love her baby but she would definately feel a heavy sacrifice. I don't care what Logan lovers believe - he WOULD NOT BE THERE! At least not on a day to day basis. This baby would end up being his dirty little secret or resented by its father's family, much like Rory was. Would she want that?

Truthfully - another big issue I have with this storyline is - just that - the storyline, if the show was ever to come back. They have exhausted pretty much all the single mother issues. How could they do it and keep it fresh? Its not likely they will do more, I know, but if they did, I just can't see this story working for me.

Well... Lorelai craves for a baby the entire revival. She and Luke could/would love to predominantly raise the baby (or even adopt? - at least until Odette and Logan show up and want a role in child's life).

I agree with you, that she was always so sheltered, so life started to seem hard. She was lost and angry and there was influence of her new friends and Logan's influence too. They were one of the factors. Definitively.

Maybe she knew, that he would marry Odette anyway? And she didn't want to be even more humiliated? She asked him about his relationship with Odette, and Logan was quite determined to marry her. Odette moved in with Logan before that, Rory couldn't stop it.

IMO Logan was alone in Europe, he met Odette, she probably seemed ok to him, they got engaged, but there were still feeling for his ex (Rory). However, he cared for his fiancée too and he had obligations towards her. But he still wanted to spend some moments with Rory before his wedding.

I haven't watched the revival properly yet, just the Jess bits, but I will after I have finished the series. Just started season 7 now, which theoretically doesn't exist in Amy's world, so I will have more to say about that then.

Some more random musings.

I meant to mention this before, and I never thought I would utter these words, but I felt sorry for Dean when he broke up with Rory at that stupid party. I know...shocking. After breaking up his marriage, she then completely forgets about him when she is with the rich kids, and then after they break up she carries on partying with them like she doesn't have a care in the world. I hated that.

The whole bridesmaids thing was ridiculous. I just had zero interest in that whole episode, until she takes him back after about 5 minutes. Her desperation to be in this relationship is really weird. I see what Amy is trying to do with the daddy issue thing but I don't find it very compelling.

Rory's 'I love you ' to Logan in the pool house was so unfeeling and lacking in emotion that it was almost laughable .

Logan's false smile and irritating smirk is slowly driving me batty...ugh!

I have watched the revival now and surprisingly I really loved it. There wasn't as much Logan as I was fearing and as a couple they were as they were in the series..boring as hell. I once again didn't feel any spark between them at all. I thought Logan's engagement was a business arrangement, but Odette was there in his bed when Rory called and he obviously had zero plans of changing the situation. And for Rory it was the comfort of having someone familiar in her life when she was flailing, and the scene when she kept dialling his number is Amy telling us that Logan is a habit for Rory...a bad habit.

Considering this is vaguely how Amy wanted season 7 to go this all kind of makes sense. At the end of season 6 he was going off to London and during season 7 Rory was struggling with what she would find herself doing after Yale.

However now, not only are they boring, but they are both being unfaithful in a no strings arrangement. Is this a situation that Amy would set up for a couple she wanted to live happily ever after together...no way in this world.

I agree with the Gilmore Guys in this one. The revival is 1000% team Jess and not team Logan.
