Rewatching this I’m on Rory’s side and can’t believe I was ever on Lorelai’s side. Rory wanted to take some time off school because she was hurt by Mitchum’s words. Everybody handles things differently. For Rory that was traumatic and all she was asking for was to take a break to get her bearings. Yes she should be punished for stealing the boat and she is. She is doing community service. Maybe she should’ve gotten jail time but that’s not what Lorelai is punishing her for. She is punishing Rory for not doing what she wants her to do. Rory taking time off is her way of saying she needs help and time to heal. There is nothing wrong with that, but Lorelai’s attitude is to shut her out and punish her. That’s not right for a parent to do. So Rory turned to the only other support she had which is Emily and Richard. Even though they have become villains they did what a parent should do in this situation which is to support Rory and give her the space to figure out her next move. They are doing what they should’ve done with Lorelai when she got pregnant. The big Richard gave Rory when she said “Everything’s messed up” is the hug he should’ve given to Lorelai years ago. Richard and Emily are taking the opportunity to care for Rory since they screwed up with Lorelai. Obviously Emily falls back into her controlling ways but she and Richard at least did the right thing in taking Rory in and not judging her. Lorelai is hurting but she has done this to herself. Instead of shutting Rory out she should’ve accepted Rory’s decision to take time off, even if she didn’t agree with it. That’s part of unconditional love. But Lorelai’s love was conditional this season. Her attitude is “I won’t love you unless you do what I want.” That is usually Emily and Richard’s way of thinking and it shows that sometimes we become our parents. Lorelai has become Emily a little bit this season. I don’t see how Rory is hurting her mother in any way. The only thing Rory did wrong was steal the boat, which she is paying the consequences for by doing community service. Rory did not shut out Lorelai. Lorelai shut her out. Lorelai didn’t tell Rory about her engagement to punish her. She is punishing her because Rory chose Richard and Emily. But Lorelai doesn’t realize that Rory wouldn’t be at Richard and Emily’s if she hadn’t pushed her away.

2024-09-14 20:34:17 +0000 UTCI hadn’t heard about that movie “Riding the Bus with My Sister” until I saw this episode so after hearing you say you thought you’d seen it I looked up the trailer on YouTube and made the mistake of watching a parody trailer and now I don’t know how to feel about it 😳. Also, I don’t know if anyone has heard the song “Go F*ck Yourself” by Two Feet, but any time I hear it I picture Zach doing his melody on Luke’s phone and I laugh every time 😂😂

2021-12-21 01:54:54 +0000 UTCFor me the scene where Rory is uppacking her things in the pool house and looks at lorelei and then looks away, is so cruel. She didn’t have to be that mean to her mother. And she should have given lorelei more time to get used to her Change in plans.

2021-12-17 18:50:41 +0000 UTCI am 50/50 between Lorelai and Rory. On one hand, yes Lorelai has every right to be disappointed in Rory but I don't think enough to give the silent treatment and keep her from staying home...and with Rory, I do think she should be able to take time off and make her decisions in life without harshness but not because of criticism from a bias person, no matter how successful.

2021-12-17 04:39:38 +0000 UTCI'm on Lorelai's side 90%. Overall she is right. However, I can see how Rory was such a people pleaser and always doing the right thing, and she had a breaking point. It's her right to figure out her own life. That said, she should have included Lorelai. I took breaks from school. I went off to other countries to figure out my options. But I always kept my family involved. They may not have agreed with everything I did, but we still kept communication open. Rory has a right to explore what she wants her life to be, but she's treating her mom like crap in the process and that's not right.

2021-12-17 01:54:28 +0000 UTCI personally am on Lorelai's side 100%. But I also see how the way Rory grew up so sheltered and protected from any criticism and harsh reality in the outside world might have fed into her dumb decision making now. I mean, any other person would've had a talk with a friend being reassured that one man's opinion no matter how successful he is doesn't change your talent. And that would've been it. But because Rory was never exposed to anything like this, she is now making stupid decision leading down a path to become the next Emily Gilmore - hosting fundraisers, jetting to New York, having a "fall wardrobe" - the very life Lorelai wanted to shield her from bc it is empty and unfulfilling for a girl like Rory. So Lorelai finally, admittedly a bit late, decided to give Rory some tough love and let her fall on her sword and figure it out on her own. We needed that story and we needed Rory to fall on her face like that so that she can learn and evolve from it.

2021-12-16 10:06:49 +0000 UTCjust to explain why Davey was wearing a dress to his baptism: centuries ago men were wearing dresses (especially royal men) as a sign of wealth and power - just google Louis XIV for this. So when you get baptised, you were a baptism dress - it's usually white as a sign of purity and a dress bc it used to be passed down from generations and started centuries ago when it was not unusual for men to wear dresses, especially to an event like this. So kids nowadays still wear baptism dresses to their baptism, not depending on your gender.

2021-12-16 09:54:22 +0000 UTC100% agreed. Rory grew up very sheltered always having everyone tell her how great and smart she is and never having to face any real-life consequences for anything. Granted, Lorelai did that bc her parents dictated everything she had to do and she wanted to give her own daughter the love and care she never got, but she overcorrected in a sense bc now one man's harsh opinion is dictating Rory's career path. Because she was never confronted with any criticism. But that is a lesson Rory needed to learn imho. Lorelai can't protect her forever.

2021-12-16 08:11:14 +0000 UTCThat's not it at all though. Lorelai wasn't just mad that Rory quit Yale. She was upset bc Rory didn't have another plan, no other newfound purpose. She didn't quit Yale bc she lost her passion or wanted to try something different, she quit bc she let herself get scared off by one man's opinion. And to top it all off, she moved in with the very people Lorelai despises after they promised to have her back. So yes, I would understand you being Team Rory here if Lorelai was just upset bc Rory decided to do something different with her life and that's why she quit Yale, but that's not the case at all. Rory still has the same passions and dreams.

2021-12-16 08:06:57 +0000 UTCDefinitely not on Rory's side. However, I do believe a lot of her behavior is predetermined by how she grew up, and that is because of Lorelai. Not giving Rory an "out" by any means here, she's a brat, but I do see why she is the way she is. That's kind of the beauty of this show, every single character on here is very flawed. You will never like anyone all the time. Even your favorite character will make choices and decisions that will make you dislike them for a while. But I still love all the characters on the show. They are my home away from home.

2021-12-16 05:41:33 +0000 UTCWell, after the pandemic hit, I decided to take a year off school and my mom did not like it one bit. My mom was upset mainly bc she dropped out and never returned to school, so every chance she got she tried to grill me about re-enrolling. After this experience, I find myself squarely on Rory's side. sometimes you need to take some time away from the rat race. At the end of the day, it's Rory's decision - Not her mother's. And if you think about it for a second, Lorelai gave Rory the silent treatment bc she didn't like Rory's decision to drop out - that is truly an Emily move.
