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: 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 http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/o...Ro/noloro2.png http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/o...Ro/noloro1.png |
Thank you Lindsay. I have a lot to say but not enough time to say it right now. I shall return momentarily.

No problem. Waiting to hear your thoughts. :)

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 :D. 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. :rolleyes: |
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 :look:. 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:(. |

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. Quote:
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.

Quote:
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.

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. |

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 :D. 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. |

I don't know why - but I just keep thinking about Odette. She seems such an amazing character with enormous potential. I'm not sure if arranged marriages still exist in 21st century. Would then Odette be some sort princess Diana and Rory Camilla? Or maybe it's not really an arranged marriage and he actually likes Odette enough? But he still has some nostalgic feelings towards his college girlfriend Rory and wants to be with her for some time before the wedding? |

Anyway I guess Amy has her conflict set up beautifully now, whether we like it or not. And I forgot to mention how much I hated the Life and Death Brigade nonsense. They are so unlikeable, which I can happily tolerate if they make me laugh, but they are in no way funny and that was 10 minutes of my life I won't get back. I can't believe they wasted money on that scene, but cut back on a wedding fans have been waiting on for years. It makes no sense. Also that scene when Logan puts the hat on her head and frames her with his hand could have been a nice scene, but then when the camera focuses on him he has that creepy smirk on his face yet again, and then just waltzes away from her. I honestly don't feel like he would sacrifice anything to be with her. They also made it clear that Mitchum doesn't want Logan with her as he made a point of bringing up Odette in front of Rory. Could you imagine how awful her life would be if she became a part of that family...no thanks. |

I remembered another thing that made me cringe in the series and that was that ridiculous party Rory threw when Logan was going to England. That accent she attempted was pitiful....really really bad and I couldn't watch lol.
I really wasn't fussed on party girl Rory and I feel like she became one to please Logan. I much preferred reading a book at a party Rory like in the first few seasons. In fact we could probably count the amount of times Rory had a book or spoke of a book in the last few seasons on one hand. |
I agree.

Another thing that bugs me is when Logan supporters say that Rory and Logan do have things in common because he is well read and he is involved in the world of journalism.
This is true, but he does not have any passion for these things. Actually he doesn't seem to have a passion for anything but having a good time and making money. He never discusses books with Rory and the only reason he is involved in journalism is because of his family, and is reluctant to be involved in the company. They don't share the same passions at all. |
That's a good point.

An excellent Amy quote I found on tumblr
AMY SHERMAN-PALLADINO ON RORY AND JESS’ RELATIONSHIP, VS. RORY AND LOGAN’S “Jess and Rory have other things in common other than the make-out, other than the sex. You know, the sex is there, which is nice and enjoyable for all those who want to enjoy it, but they have the books and the music and the reading and the literature and the intellectual standpoint, and you can’t ignore the fact that there is a meeting of the minds there.” “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!’ And Rory doesn’t want to avoid reality anymore.” :cool: |
Very interesting comparison indeed.
