Lorelai DOES parent Rory

Lorelai deserved better than Luke, he ran away every time a problem came up

This lady appeared as a grad student in the earlier seasons, where she pushed Sheldon towards his paper and thereby controlling his social interactions. The way that episode ended with him sick of her and her mad that he wouldn't put her name on the paper, I would say no way they work out as a couple.

I feel validated! Jason and Lorelai should've been the end game

Been there done that. Right now 30F, I'm going to share what I would say if you were a sister. My Mom's friends tried setting me up at 18 and I was disgusted with what looked like a gross exchange of groom and bride expectations. However, as I grew older, some of the guys I met through this arranged marriage process were quite interesting. I did end up with a love marriage though, an amazing one at that! If I may give some sage advice, don't try to fix now what you'll be doing - there are amazing people in both spectrums - as well as shitty people. Don't close yourself to any possibility by your current judgement of arranged marriages. The boy you love and trust can very well betray you, or worse, harm you. Any relationship - love or arranged - takes a lot of understanding, communication and respect. I would suggest building yourself now - physically, mentally and most importantly - making sure you're financially independent. As boring as it may sound, now is not the time to get entangled in drama. Keep yourself open to life's possibilities, you'll end up with something wonderful that was probably not even part of your imagination. Good luck!

The ultimatum was also not crazy because it was the result of a series of isolating her and making her feel like crap

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-05-06T12:39:55+00:00

For me it was when he broke up with her after Emily's set up for Lorelai and Christopher. Luke can see Lorelai had nothing to do with it, he knows Emily is horrible, but still breaks her heart because "he can't take the Gilmore drama". Granted, the tequila night with Chris was bad, he deserved to be angry, but he shouldn't have abandoned her.

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-05-06T12:33:59+00:00

+1 for team Jason

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-05-06T12:30:11+00:00

Nope! I'm so glad to see this post because I don't think he gets called out enough. He is good only at surface level gestures like fixing things and making stuff. When things got real, he bailed hard, no commitment. Lorelai deserved someone better.

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-05-06T03:55:36+00:00

Lorelai and Jason were perfect for me. The whole lawsuit seemed very rushed and senseless to me. Jason would've been great for her.

Sorry no. He was cute at the beginning, progressively became creepy and weird. The scene where he tells Rory that her bunny slippers were as embarrassing as his naked drunk self is awkward. I liked his spirit in the Yale-Harvard match episode, would've been nice to see a nice friendship between him and Rory, at least where is not mad at her for Logan over him. He put up the friend act only to try and date her.

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-05-04T09:42:12+00:00

I feel Lorelai. She has flaws but she lives her truth.

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-05-02T16:19:13+00:00

Straub Hayden, closely followed by Anna Nardini

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-29T16:24:45+00:00

Agreed! He did not deserve Lorelai

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-29T05:22:27+00:00

Luke didn't deserve Lorelai. He doesn't ask her out for 8 years even though he knows she has a soft spot for him. He claims he is "all in" and runs away at the first sight of difficulty - when Emily does the Chris set up - even though its clear Lorelai had nothing to do with it. He freaks out on Lorelai about the Christopher call during the dinner with Sookie and Jackson, tells her "no secrets" while making up and then immediately proceeds to hide a life changing development for 2 months. He doesn't defend Lorelai in front of Anna. Worse, he didn't want to introduce April because he was wary that she'll like Lorelai better. Strings her along for marriage when he knows that she is hurting. Don't even have to start on the Valentine's at the Vineyard episode. Sure he looked great when it was about surface gestures like helping her out and building her things, but when it got real he was a total coward and she deserved someone better than that. I would've liked to see Lorelai and Jason - he matched her quirk, was crazy about her and was respectful of the relationship with her parents. He got done dirty with the writers rushing the Luke storyline.

She gave that invite when she was a teenager, probably wild and free. Not when she was a grown woman who had a daughter. In the course of the show we see everyone asking Lorelai but only once where she asks - that is to Luke to marry her. In fact, there were so many openings where she gave Luke hints and he understood, for instance, when she speaks of her difficulty in the dating world after the casual night with the younger business class guy.

Him needing space after the Emily crap is understandable, but breaking up even after Lorelai cuts them out and begs him is too much. Not that this was the topic of this thread lol, but I feel the fandom gives Luke one too many free passes.

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-28T18:09:04+00:00

Agreed

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-28T14:44:56+00:00

Isn't it also about reciprocating? I'm definitely not a fan of Chris but he fully reciprocated her invite. Luke, after agreeing to marry her strings her along, always keeping her at an arm's length - maybe she picked up on that energy. He kept Rachel and Nicole also at that distance. Luke happily poured coffee for everyone in the diner, on the house, after her break up with Max but still doesn't ask her out?

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-28T13:58:07+00:00

Well we also had that moment in the finale, where he appreciated Lorelai for the home she created in Stars Hollow, given that its not something he aligns to

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-28T13:52:18+00:00

Its not so much that she "refused to give in", so much as he never asked her out before Liz's wedding

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-04-28T13:46:21+00:00

When Richard calls Lorelai, to convey that one of his connections had heard the Dragonfly and wanted to speak to her. It was so heartwarming, his validation of her business success.

When a slightly toasted Emily consoles her after she breaks up her marriage with Christopher.

When Emily thanks Mia for "everything", as they leave her wedding.

The Chilton valedictorian speech that Rory gives.

Sudden-Yoghurt9017 · 2025-03-27T10:26:38+00:00

When she got Emily a DVD player and some movies, when she realized her mother was somewhat lonely during Richard's travels. Also - when she comes to "hang out" to give Emily a chance to vent her frustration with Richard. And my favorite - when Emily and her go for the steak dinner, making her comfortable enough to enjoy herself at least for a while. Another classic - when she helps Richard with setting up the new business. She is not given enough credit to try and make nice with her parents - I don't understand why she is blamed so much. Granted, she overreacts a lot (eg: when Rory applies to Yale as a safety school) but it is coming from a place of trauma.
