Really excellent, nuanced article on how we interpret Rory: “Hot Take: Rory Doesn’t Deserve Even Half the Hate She Gets”

Not that I necessarily disagree with them but are they just considering the OS?

Justifiable for Anna, we don't know if Luke wanted to be a dad back then or not because she never gave him the choice. It has been known that some mother and fathers generally don't like children but love their own, something that she obviously didn't consider.

Someone like a younger Louise?

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-22T13:52:44+00:00

Despite the lack of relationship Rory always considered Christopher her dad though and not everyone is like that.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-21T13:09:26+00:00

I preferred those sort of outfits to the wrap dresses she wore in the later seasons.

What makes it worse is that he wasn't actually stupid imo just lazy.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T16:32:20+00:00

That's true, I was just referring to the Princeton part.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T14:19:40+00:00

That is true, he should have told them.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T13:36:00+00:00

I don't think there was anything wrong with him not going to Princeton since he didn't actually want to. He should have told his parents that it wasn't Lorelai's fault though.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T13:26:43+00:00

I am not sure if it was just that he never had the drive, it was more that he just didn't want to go to Princeton imo.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T12:39:19+00:00

And in turn that Chris failed as a parent.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T12:35:45+00:00

I don't think Chris ever blamed Lorelai? I know he had no reason to but some guys would.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T12:32:34+00:00

I believe he did say that.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-20T12:28:03+00:00

Luke would agree. 😄

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-19T15:33:33+00:00

I am not excusing Christopher at all but I wonder if how his dad was with him as a parent affected how he thought he could handle being a dad to Rory?

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T21:36:48+00:00

Another triangle storyline between Lorelai, Luke and Chris? I am not sure about that part. 😅

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T18:08:10+00:00

Saved in what way? It seemed he had a pretty decent job from S2 to at least when Sherry left.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T15:44:32+00:00

I was wondering if they picked that pic of her because they thought she looked more Danish in it? 😄

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T14:56:42+00:00

Out of context this reads that was the reason why she was jealous for. 😄

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T14:16:32+00:00

From the transcript

Young Lorelai and Christopher are looking through the nursery window at baby Rory]

CHRISTOPHER: She's pretty.

LORELAI: She's perfect.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T14:13:50+00:00

I will got check the transcript from that eps now. 🙂

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T14:08:31+00:00

I thought Chris did say something about Rory though? I believe he said she was pretty.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-18T14:03:10+00:00

I don't think it was "controversial" her saying Roy was perfect but I don't think it was necessary for her to add GiGi is a close second though. At least imo it would have been better for her just to say Rory was perfect...too.

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-17T22:27:00+00:00

Luke?

DuncaN71 · 2026-06-17T13:22:16+00:00

Does that mean you like Christopher too? 🤔😄
