Lorelei Gilmore needs a punch in the face. Manic Pixie Dream Girls should not be moms. [/quote]

I don't think that word means what you think it means. She is NOT a MPDG. MPDGs are usually not allowed to have their own emotions and interior lives and serve only to boost the male lead's stuffy solitude. I like Lorelei, but she is sometimes very selfish, very human, and very mean. In other words, a human.  Not the way overused MPDG meme. [/quote]

The more I watch this show, the more true this is.  I like Lorelai, but sometimes, she is the most annoying person ever.  Very selfish and childish.  Not always, but a lot.  I'm glad she's portrayed that way instead of always perfect, all the time.  In fact, she's rarely perfect.

[b]Even in the dynamic she has with her own mother, sometimes I want to slap Lorelai.  Her mom isn't always [i]that[/i] bad, but Lorelai continues their strained relationship when she could tone it down a bit and meet her mother halfway. [/b] [/quote]

But if you've ever had a Mom like that, you know that's exactly how you react to the smallest things. My mom and I love each other, but man, can she push my buttons. When DH and I first started dating he wondered why I flew off the handle over the smallest things my Mom would do or say. Taken in isolation, yes I was nuts. But the constant 'small' things add up. In time, DH has realized why I flip out so 'easily' on her. It's like death by a million little drips of water.[/quote]
