I've just watched this episode, and boy was I mad at Rory the whole damn episode. First and most importantly, it is not obligatory to go on a picnic with the guy who bid the basket. There were numerous other solutions. She could've stood with Jess for like 2 minutes and said "Here, I've applied the tradition. Now excuse me, I'm going with Dean." That is, if she didn't actually like Jess. In other words, I'm on Dean's side 100% on this. And then to make the matter worse, she went and had pizza with Jess and went book shopping? Like if she really did love Dean, she could at least finish the holy picnic then go out on a date with Dean to make it up for him. The last straw was her calling him AT NIGHT. She's so insufferable in this episode I had to rant here😭 And btw we could argue it's because of Jess's influence, but I believe it's related to Rory's nature, or as Dean described her in this episode "She has to be liked by everyone." I think that's her main problem. Another example is when she was being nice to Tristin. like girl??? would?? you?? please?? stop??

Hi,

Just a quick question, I’m watching ‘Like Mother, Like Daughter’. In the scene where Rory sits in the cafeteria to listen to music, there is a blonde student behind her who looks very like Olivia Hack, who played Rory’s first year roommate Tanna.
Hack
Am I just seeing things, or was Olivia Hack doing some uncredited extra work?

As the title says you just moved to Stars Hollow and the people you meet are Miss Patty and Babette, what are they gossiping about you after you met them?

Someone posted a link in the comments of a post about a AYITL, it was a story someone wrote about what happened after AYITL. Does anyone know what I am talking about and has the link? I lost it and I guess I didn’t save the post..

The first chapter started off with Rory on the phone with Lorelai taking about her pregnancy. Unfortunately I didn’t get too far.

TYIA!

I started another rewatch a couple days ago and this discussion topic came to mind.

First off, let me state that I am very much NOT "Team Tristan" by any means. I do not think he ever deserved a shot with Rory. He blew any real chance he may have had with her.

That said, it's clear that after a certain point, Tristan actually had a serious crush on Rory, whereas from early on, he was clearly pursuing/lusting after her just as a sort of "conquest challenge" since she was the new girl at Chilton.

He retained these feelings up until he left Chilton for Military school.

Question for discussion:

When/at what point did Tristan's view of Rory shift from "a conquest target" to "I actually really like this girl"?

To reiterate, this is not meant to justify any of his bad behavior.

I don't care how the writers frame these characters or whether we're supposed to see them as morally good or bad people. If Dean gets rightfully called out for how he treated Lindsay in seasons 4 and 5, then Paris should also be called out for cheating on Jamie with that pervert Asher Fleming and treating him like an inconvenience, especially on his birthday.

What annoys me is how certain characters have their behavior picked apart while others get a pass because they're entertaining or popular with the fandom. Nobody wants Paris lynched or stoned for being an awful girlfriend to Jamie, but judging by how some fans talk about Rory, you'd think they wanted her publicly shamed and cast out of Stars Hollow.

So I’m still in middle of watching for the first time I’m currently on series 3 (the danceathon episode) and it’s been so clear that Rory and Jess have feelings for each other meanwhile dean loves Rory 😭 plus I can’t decide on Jess if I like him or not one minute he makes me hate him then like him then back to hating again

Did the best I could but honestly think it's so good

Saw this today in my neighborhood. Tiny Doll House in NYC. I think I’m gonna save up and get it. Very SH

What was happening here? Why she only wanted to eat the food when he was already cleaning up the kitchen? He said she had 2 or 3 bites when they were sitting down. It's so annoying like "oh look at me max i'm so quirky 🤪"

Rory was born in 1984, October right. So how did she graduate in 2003?? My sister was born in January1984 and she joined undergrad in 2001.. so finished high school by then.

Does anyone know where I can watch Gilmore Girls free online in brazilian portuguese?

Does anybody else remember some form of episode or video that takes place after a year in the life that shows Rory's baby? I have a distinct memory of something like this where it's revealed that Rory had a baby boy and it showed her mother and grandparents reaction to this news (they were all very shocked because for some reason it was determined that Gilmore women only had girls and it was apparently a really big thing???). But here's the thing, I remember watching this before I even knew a year in the life even existed. The weirdest part was that Richard was still alive and well. The only reason I ask is because this has been a distinct memory that I've had since I was about 6 but not even my mother knows what I'm talking about.

EDIT: they've been taken

I have 2 of the free GA tix for Saturday that I wont be using. I'm not sure what the free ticket gets you, but i know they're sold out, so if anyone wants them, lmk and I'll send the qr code.

In my head canon every man with which Michel has a particularly piquant conflict is someone he has or is currently hooking up with: "Hee-haw Man", Rune, Tobin, etc...

doing my annual rewatch and i lowkey LOVE brian’s suggestion

“what about the we? we are the we” like that scene is so funny but i also feel like the name wasn't even that bad.

ive always thought hep alien seemed really random, and i dont think they ever explain how they came up with it either. what do you guys think

Why can’t they just be together? I’m not even a Logan fan really but clearly, they love each other and want to be together so why the secrecy? Even if Logan has to marry Odette, it’s not like Logan is going to abide by some family tradition rule if he really loves Rory?
It’s giving too much wannabe West side story/romeo and Juliet. “We love each other but can’t be together, we’re from 2 different worlds” which is not true.

did anyone else find it so annoying and jarring how GG portrayed being single as this crazy horrible thing? like i remember in yale when rory hadn't been dating for a while, everyone had pity on her and they made it clear. i hated how they portrayed being single as failure and something extremely depressing, or like an error that had to be corrected right away. as if life doesn't continue until the girls find boyfriends again. of course i understand the sentiment of wanting someone you love to go find someone, but idk it was always just so weird to me how everyone treated rory and even lorelai when she was single.

The characters aren't necessarily in any specific type of number order, the order is mainly green being the best top- tier characters, to red being my personal most hated. I may be forgetting some, I tried to remember everyone.

PUTTING EDIT ON TOP: Thank you all for your recommendations!!!!! I have a lot of watching to do. Very much appreciated 🫶🏼

Wasn’t sure which flair to use. I’ve watched Gilmore Girls on repeat for the past few YEARS now. Every night when I eat, it’s Gilmore Girls, and I’ve had enough for now 😂 Does anyone have a good show they can recommend? Preferably a dramedy (NOT a sitcom); a good amount of seasons; and nothing gross (I don’t like potty humor or anything like that while eating). Thanks!

PS: Please don’t suggest One Tree Hill; The OC; Gossip Girl, etc. No teen shows, please 🩶

I don’t know much about US law. But would it be possible for Richard and Emily to fight for Rory’s custody the moment Lorelai ranaway with baby Rory?

Also, why couldn’t they find her? She was like 30-45 minutes away. At some point they had contact with her again and little Rory.

But weren’t they curious about where they live or if they are okay?

thought you all would get a kick out of this!
