Lorelei and Chris are so cool together =) Of course it's a pity that their future together is such an impossible dream that will haunt them all their lives..
Now we are waiting for Rory to finally decide to admit that their relationship with Dean has outlived itself and will be with Jess, well, or someone else. And then the relationship with Dean is a strange subject-they seem to be there, but lately they show either how Rory communicates with other guys or how Dean freaks out about and without, they almost never even happen together ..
PS Exciting before the wedding Bitch is so sweet =)

That's the feeling when out of all the guys Rory Jess pisses off the most. So much so that you have to rewind the moments with him.

@mflaff: Yeah, there is such a thing... I don't rewind, of course, but I stop watching the series for long periods, because I just don't have the strength anymore. When there is nothing left to watch, I turn it on again and look through my fingers. It started out nice, warm and cozy, and then Rory's tower was demolished) And this series actually killed) In short, I postponed the series again)))

@maria-green: In my opinion, this season Jess is still an asshole and no love of books covers it. Well, I wanted to punch him in the face a few dozen times. But I'm in the minority here, unfortunately.

Chris is a little infuriated, no, the situation with the child is quite understandable, he did the right thing here, but before that... When Lorelei said last time that she had always secretly thought that she would be able to return to him, what Chris was doing was making a scandal, but he was essentially behaving exactly the same way, as soon as he had problems with Sherry, he immediately ran to Lorelei's bed, i.e. he knows that if he came to her, he would be welcomed with open arms, yes, they both looked sincere when they thought their future together was possible, but still it doesn't look fair to Lorelei. Yes, he is her first love and Rory's father, but I think she needs to outgrow these feelings for him and think about real possibilities. For example, with a Hatch)))

"Okay, I don't know English well" — you can endlessly look at three things: fire, water and how Lorelai mocks Michel.
It sounded prophetic about Brad and Jen, hohoho.
The sea-green dresses on the girls during the wedding looked simply gorgeous.

"You look like the birds are helping you get dressed in the morning"😁 The best description of Rory ever.

"It looks like the idea of just being kind didn't occur to you."
Paris's insecurity resonates in me over and over again, which is very. Yes, let her be a robot and a dictator at least a hundred times, it's all tinsel because of dislike, and I'm so glad every time that she has Rory, who pulls her out of this hole, into which she drives herself.

"I want to come back" — it seemed to me that my face would crack from a smile at this moment. Jess couldn't, couldn't stand it, came back to the first place in all his sixteen years that he could call home, and did it not only for Rory's sake, but because this endlessly grumbling, stern, laconic man with a cap backwards became the only person in his life who didn't give a damn about him. It's so much, so much touching, I don't know how to describe how touching it is.

...No, I mean seriously now? SERIOUSLY?! I screamed out loud when Rory kissed him, your mother! Perhaps she needs this escape to Washington more than ever to finally sort out her feelings and understand who she really needs.
*still yelling that she was the first to kiss Jess without registration and sms*

@chch93: What a stubborn Hatch you are, well, sometimes you just can't move from your place, eh. At least apologize, at least don't apologize, I got something into my head, and that's it.

When Christopher casually took off his jacket and draped it over Lorelai's shoulders, I just couldn't help myself, the schipper howl broke out by itself.
Honestly, he looked at her so much that it's strange to me how they didn't have sex on this couch right away as soon as they sat down there, hehehe.
And then, as always, everything went to hell. Chris couldn't take that responsibility off himself again, and Lorelai couldn't ask him to, because she knows how hard it is to be a single mother, no matter how much she wants to build everything with him all over again. Why are these two always SO out of time? Just when they're about to give each other another chance to become a family, some absolutely amazing shit happens and everything falls apart right before our eyes? And on the other hand... how vital it all is. Nothing ever goes according to plan, no matter how much we want it to. The circumstances that we provoke ourselves always, always work against us.
And yet it's so sad, are they really going to dance this tango towards each other all their lives?.. Or will they finally let go of the past and move on? Who knows.

Chris Al's monologue "I missed so much with Rory, now I want to live everything completely with a new child" sounded very selfish

I'm holding my paws so that Chris doesn't become the kind of dad who, when a new family appears, forgets about the old one
and Sharyl showed herself well with Rory, but will she continue to behave like this with the appearance of her own child??
I hope Chris will not completely stop liking me

I don't see any point in arguing about who is more suitable for Rory - Dean or Jess.
I think it won't be a spoiler for anyone that Jared Padalecki started acting in Supernatural in 2005, and Ventimiglia got a role in Heroes in 2006.
And considering that the Gilmore Girls were on the air until 2007, it is quite obvious that in the end she will not be with either one or the other.
And that's probably right, because in the long run, none of them are suitable for Rory.
Dean is just a first crush, nothing more, nothing less.
And Jess... He's just not a match for her. Rory is a man who knows exactly what he wants from life. She has specific plans and goals that she strives hard for. While Jess is a convinced nihilist, wreaking havoc everywhere. He does not recognize authorities and obviously will not adapt to Rory. And matching literary tastes do not compensate for this in any way.
I hope that in college she will meet a more suitable guy.

I agree with you, apparently, sometimes you just really need to "get over it", or something. Well, or just try, but yes, in the end, a completely different type of guy is suitable for "life" and long-term relationships. First love passes and teaches us love, bad guys just embrace passion, but building a future, especially for such a special girl, needs to be with someone completely different.

I agree with everything that was written above about Jess. The moments with him and Rory sometimes touch me, but in the long run he's not an option for her at all.
And as for Chris and Lorelai, it's high time they realized that they weren't going to be together. Well, it's stupidly not fate, which this series has completely proved. It's time for them to let go of each other romantically, and move on.

I knew it would end up like this, that Shari would be pregnant. But I'm glad Jess is back, but Rory is leaving. But look, maybe Jess will be able to win over the city and establish connections while she's gone, in general, a lot of action is planned for the new season

I guess I'm the only one who feels good about Jess)) I think she and Rory will be a good couple, at least for a while. Opposites attract: he makes her more lively and emotional, and she, on the contrary, lands him a little and pacifies him.
It is unpleasant to read that they put a cross on him just because he is a lost teenager who lacked love and attention. It can still change)

Dean in the last series is just no, their relationship has outlived itself as if. It's sad because of Lorelai and Chris, they are such a beautiful couple and there is such a spark between them! But I keep drowning for Luke))

@chir: Because it is not very likely that at the age of 16 you will meet a person with whom you will create a relationship for life)
They like each other here and now, and despite the fact that many people think they are not suitable for each other, this is not a reason not to give such a relationship a chance. They will have fun together for "some time", this is a natural experience and a stage of growing up for many people.

What is the point of entering into such a relationship? when you meet someone you really like (especially if you feel that you are in love), you always hope that all this will lead to something more ... exactly how Rory and Jess are shown in love in the series.
I don't think Rory thinks this relationship is "for a while." There is nothing romantic in such a relationship and this relationship is not worth two episodes, I don't want to look at such a relationship, no one wants... they don't make a movie about such a relationship
But yes, maybe you're right, apparently that's how the viewer sees their relationship. That's probably why I don't like them as a couple :)
WHY DO THEY SHOW ME A RELATIONSHIP "for a while" MAKING THEM LOOK VERY ROMANTIC? Girls should think with their heads, especially a smart girl like Rory

@chir: Different viewers have different opinions and perceptions, what's wrong with that?

Yes, I think it's normal to fill the SPACE of the SERIES with events where people develop, change, get disappointed, meet and break up. I'm interested in following their lives)
You may like a series where a lady waits for a prince on a white horse for 8 seasons and they stay happily ever after, I don't see anything wrong with that. I also love Disney cartoons.

I am touched by such a deep analysis of the relationships of 16-year-olds)
It's a hormonal roller coaster, why dig so deep) It's completely normal to fall in love with different guys at the same time. at the age of 16-17, with no experience behind him, without the burden of long-term swings and luggage. When it seems that it is real life, real relationships, real feelings, and they are all forever-forever! It's not like that.
But yes, they are the brightest, the strongest, the most mind-blowing and the most painful. And there is no way without them.

A kiss, finally! I wasn't thrilled with Jess, but I was glad to see him back.
Chris is charming, but I knew there was a catch waiting for us, everything was too good.
it's a pity that Chris and Lorelai are such soulmates and fate, circumstances and their own stupidity constantly repels them, then attracts them to each other. probably, everyone has had such relationships that are both the best and the worst at the same time, oh
, I love this series - the characters and situations are so alive

You can see right this attraction, Rory and Dean have always had not a passion, such a mimicry. It's different with Jess, and apparently Rory will need to explore these sides of himself. We sometimes fall in love with unsuitable people, but, firstly, who thinks at this time that they are unsuitable, secondly, anything happens. I don't like Jess, I don't treat him well, but yes, they look great, Jess is cute and attractive. I wonder why bad guys are so attractive?
And really, you don't always control yourself, it happens that you fall in love with another guy in one relationship. Apparently, that's why this whole line evokes such a response in me, because I had the same teenage situation, and not to say that there was something bad. It just happened what happened. I will continue to watch and enjoy what I see in the series LIFE.
I'm really sorry for Chris and Lorelai, I think they really could have tried.
Sookie and Jackson are so cool! I love such couples, I think it's once and for all!
