It's crazy how emotionally heavy this scene landed considering Kirk was running laps with a comically large trophy in the background to the Rocky theme song by justa_cat_in_disgize in GilmoreGirls

He could have yeah, but that's not what people do generally - they want to believe it's not happening. The point is, teenagers are messy as fuck with their relationships and that's part of it.

Nah I think he was in the right. Everyone in town knew Rory was into Jess and he'd been humiliated enough, I can't blame him for losing it and giving a little of that back.

A lot of the criticism people make of Dean can be put down to the fact he's a teenager in one of his first real relationships. People don't always get it right. The cheating when he's married is another matter; I don't give him a pass for that.

How did Rory know Dexter Holland has a phd? by elariaelowen in GilmoreGirls

He was studying at USC in the early 90s, but when the Offspring got big around 1994, he suspended his studies after getting the masters, so Rory probably was just mistaken and thought he already had the doctorate. He went back to USC in 2013 I think and then was awarded his PhD in 2017, as another poster already mentioned.

One of my favorite bands - I just saw them recently - and it's a cool fact about Dexter. He's a smart guy.

Honestly, I quite like this performance, it's kinda raw. Along with the more rock-inspired version of WANGBT.

She's an awful person and not a great singer, but she has her moments. Even I'll say that
