Jessicka addams biography of rory

If you're anything like me, your initial outrage over how Rory Gilmore behaved in the Gilmore Girls revival has passed. Yet, the lasting impression is one that Rory can be, well, the worst. While there have already been plenty of think pieces about the plethora of ways that Rory's privilege make her so hard to like, I'm also bothered by the conflicting messages viewers get about her. Because if you compare what characters say about Rory with what she actually does, you'll start to see why she can be so infuriating.

I was never a big fan of Rory in the original series and the reasons why were echoed in the new revival. Perhaps that's a good thing, since it means the series is consistent in its portrayal of the character, but if you had hoped to see Rory advance in the nine years since the original series ended, you might've been disappointed to see that she is in a state of arrested development. Even though Rory is supposed to be accomplished on the outside, how she acts does not seem to reflect those accomplishments.

In the original series, Rory was incredibly smart with a pleasant demeanor that had an entire town charmed by her. She was valedictorian of her high school; had her (unbelievable) pick between Yale, Harvard, and Princeton; and beyond her educational accomplishments, pretty much always had a suitor. In the revival, she's a smart, accomplished, and beautiful woman. She has written an acclaimed piece for The New Yorker and the well-known subject of the piece asks Rory to write a book about her. Additionally, media empire Condé Nast has requested to meet with Rory. But just because a person appears to have it all, doesn't mean they have it all together, and A Year in the Life more than proved that.

Yet, my issue is less with the decisions Rory makes throughout the revival and more with how even though she continued to let her sense of entitlement ruin opportunities, she is constantly praised by

There are certain great debates that TV fans will argue about until the end of time, and at the top of that list is definitely the question of who was Rory Gilmore’s best boyfriend on Gilmore Girls. The younger of the two Gilmore girls, played by Alexis Bledel, had three major relationships over the course of the series’ seven-season run: Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki), Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), and Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia). Now, almost 15 years after the series ended its original run, one of those boyfriends offered his opinion. However, Milo Ventimiglia’s feelings about Jess and Rory’s Gilmore Girls breakup may not make every fan very happy.

Ventimiglia took a break from filming This Is Us to get nostalgic with his former Gilmore Girls co-star (and TV uncle) Scott Patterson on Patterson’s podcast I Am All In. Ventimiglia reminisced about Rory and Jess, who dated in high school but had a rocky breakup and split before they went to college. Although there’s a sizable contingent of fans who will forever root for Rory and Jess, from Ventimiglia’s perspective, things worked out exactly as they should. He told Patterson:

I think things are complicated when you're young. I think you're going through a developmental change. You are seeing things in the world that you've never seen before. You're experiencing things from the heart, from the gut, from the head, that you're experiencing for the first time. So I think Jess and Rory, I think they were what they needed from the moment, from each other and at the same time, it didn't work out. They went in different directions. And that's OK too. That's kind of great.

Before all the Rory/Jess shippers start coming for Ventimiglia, he did also acknowledge that even though he thinks Rory and Jess weren’t Rory and Jess weren’t built to last, he does think they had a really special relationship. He said:

I think

When Rory Gilmore was a silly high school girl, she could do no wrong in my eyes. Sure, she did do some messed-up stuff. She sometimes treated her best friend Lane like the co-star she was, ignoring her for boyfriends who would come and go. She broke Dean's heart for an out-of-towner who wore leather jackets and needed an attitude adjustment (although, like, let's be real, Jess was Rory's best Gilmore Girls boyfriend). But I identified with her and loved her for her mistakes. "Ah yes, Rory. I too could be a huge jerk in high school, and often did horrible things, the consequences of which I sometimes consider over and over again when I am unable to sleep." But there was one definitive moment that made it hard to root for Rory, even though I identified with her so much.

It wasn't when she started dating Logan and became a Queen of Bougie, or even when she stole a yacht and was arrested. No, the moment in which I wasn't sure I even liked Rory anymore comes when she hosts a DAR event for her grandmother. At this point, Rory has dropped out of Yale, and is living in her grandparents' pool house while she serves her time and lives a charmed life.

The episode is "We've Got Magic To Do." In the beginning, the DAR is having a gossip session at the Older Gilmore House, and they live in terror and fear that one of the ladies is going to simplyruin a fundraising event to support the troops. Rory jumps in, believing that she can turn the event around in one week. Of course she does, and she changes it up in a brilliant way: with a USO theme in which everyone gets to wear '40s-style clothes and listen to a live band play World War II-themed oldies. But this total domination of an event doesn't make me happy for Rory. Instead, I'm furious with her for wasting her potential.

This is only compounded when Lorelai confronts her father Richard about Rory's path in life during a discussion of insuranc
