I like Rory, warts and all, but the revival left her at such a miserable place imo. Maybe I change my mind when/if I rewatch. There could be some optimism in her sl that I’m overlooking. For example, her accepting that just because journalism didn’t work out the way she expected doesn’t mean she can’t have other dreams (i.e. the book) was kinda nice. But I really hate the pregnancy sl.

I didn't take issue with her regression because I believe that to be normal in life. Sometimes it's one step forward two steps back, but it's how we live and learn and people don't just get over their issues, some live on to repeat them. If anything, it's kind of comforting to me to watch her screw up and flail. I enjoy watching people's flaws and where they go from points of destruction. Rory will be fine, she's just understandably nervous about motherhood and how it will affect her life. I don't see that ending as depressing or total regression, it's progression as in she's progressing to the next stage in her life which will be peppered with both happiness and sadness and fear and hope. The difference between this and Lorelai raising Rory on her own is that Rory has an enormous web of support from family and friends. I've no doubt Logan will be a MUCH better and more present father than Christopher ever was. So, I don't look at it negatively at all, I look at it positively and my love for this character grew exponentially throughout this revival. Now, please be gentle with the tomato throwing? :blush: :kiss:

I just had a slight problem with Rory because she felt OOC for me despite knowing that regression etc. is normal. But i'm not sure if you totally go OOC in those moments though.
Plus I wish she had come up with the concept of the book herself, i'm okay with someone suggesting to think outside the box like a book. I just wish the subject would have been her own idea. Did anyone catch Alexis on Jimmy Fallon last night? http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/...6570?s=594x594 http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/...6562?s=594x594 |
She looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Good point about the book. That way they would have still had the nice Jess and Rory/Jess moment they were going for, but would have also allowed Rory to take more initiative with her own writing. |
The cheating felt OOC for me, despite realising she is in a point of her life where she's clueless on everything. But despite her kissing other guys in past relationships, well mostly kissing Jess when with Dean/Logan she hasn't done that...
Yes she slept with Dean (but she thought they were divorcing and was caught in the moment) not that I approve :P but this feels more thought of, it's planned. I didn't think she'd ever do that. Plus the way she treated that online magazine, the respect she didn't have for the interview, the opportunity or the recline she got and her response. It didn't feel like Rory to speak so rudely.. I get that she lost her mojo or whatever you want to call it, but it didn't feel like Rory. I'm sure I can think of more things :lol: Plus where was her love of books? Didn't catch one.. |
oh my gossssh Alexis is such a babe in her interview!!!!

I think Logan was "regressing," in that relationship, too. I got the sense he was hiding out from his family, his dynasty role, and his wife-to-be by having "Vegas" with his college sweetheart. He's hiding his fiancee's stuff from Rory, or at least, promises he wouldn't leave it anywhere she could see, but I've got to wonder how much of that is also for himself; protecting the illusion, the fantasy. The new season may have actually made me like Logan a little more. Quote:
On first watch, I saw Lorelai's fearful expression as more about her, and her flashing back to her specifically less than fun experience with pregnancy, more than anything about Rory's pregnancy or Rory's actual circumstances. But, that's because I was like, "It's a baby! There's going to be a baby!" Rory'd be a good mom. Babette and Morey need a cat and lawn gnomes, not a kid. Kirk and Lulu need a pig. Michel should probably just have some new chowchow puppies. Taylor... Taylor has a son, doesn't he? That's scary. But, Rory'd step up to motherhood. And, who wouldn't want a grandma like Lorelai? Granddad Luke? I'm not delusional to the point of Jackson's four in four, but I like kids. I was raised by a single mother. I work with kids. I can't have kids, but I've moved in nieces and nephews. You seriously date someone with kids, you're also raising their kids. So, I probably mythologize it a bit, in a different direction from the fans who feel the pregnancy or kid will hold her up or derail her life and career. I think, handling it with as minimal information as they did, it really brings out our reactions the best. Our reactions become huge. We've got to fill in all the blanks. |
Loved the Fallon interview! She did seem at ease. :nod:
