Quote:

Rory Gilmore
Rory Gilmore probably underwent the most regressive character development in TV history. She began as a bright-eyed, intelligent, studious, hard-working, innocent girl with big dreams. In the early seasons, Rory seems like a model student and a dream child that any parent would be proud of. However, things take a nose dive a few seasons in, as she is revealed to be an entitled, petulant little child.

She is selfish and reckless, walking around breaking everyone's heart and even having an affair with a married man. She insists that Logan is the privileged one, but she's blissfully unaware that she's just like him. She was brought up with a silver spoon in her mouth and was handed everything, but the second she faces rejection, she crumbles.

Thought this was spot on, also with all this Vanderpump Rules scandal going on it has been making me think of Rory and wondering if we saw anything past the four words how would it have gone. Would the town have looked at Rory differently? would Emily have requested Rory go to a mental health retreat? How would she explain things to others about her situation and what would their reaction be?

Also Lorelai made the list:

Quote:

Lorelai Gilmore
We feel a great amount of sympathy for Lorelai from the beginning of Gilmore Girls because of her strained relationship with her mother, life as a single mom due to Christopher abandoning them for another woman, and forming such a loving bond with her daughter Rory. However, while Lorelai acts as though her mother, Emily, is a pretentious elitist, Lorelai displays the same attitude in Stars Hollow on a smaller scale. She's very disrespectful to her best friend, Sooki.

She doesn't treat Luke right and even goes back to Christopher when he asks her to marry him. Lorelai also uses people and is self-absorbed. I also think Emily ended up being right about Lorelei. The “mother as your best friend” trope may seem cute when you're young, but it's a disaster and a mark of immaturity that damages children, as evidenced by how Rory turned out.

I mean the best character development on that show was Jess in all honesty.

About Rory - indeed a spot on!

The way my mind automatically goes to Literati and the revival with this

Thanks for that, Alison!

Is that from the revival, Alison?

It’s just a tweet that I saw yesterday that made me think of Jess and Rory in the revival because they hadn’t seen each other in years and their reunion made the fandom go insane
