[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Lane, but man can I tell you how much I hate the Lane pregnancy storyline?

Lane marries her loser husband and gets pregnant the first time she has sex. And it was bad sex at that! [/quote]

Her whole storyline went off track when Adam Brody got cast on the OC and she lost Dave. They failed her miserably after that.[/quote]

I am still mad about this. Why did that automatically mean she had to have this shitty awful life? There was no rush and they blew it. This show really suffered from lack of good large plotting and too much focus on chatty quick dialogue.[/quote]

Agreed. I feel like they went out of their way to make Lane's life terrible because they wanted to highlight the differences between Lane's trajectory and Rory's. Like Lane has the public school/townie life, and since the Sherman-Palladinos are insufferable snobs, this means she has to become a mom in her early 20s and get trapped in a marriage to a mediocre man and have no career? What? Lane was smart and interesting and she was an obvious candidate to be a great late bloomer once she finally got some freedom and distance from her mom and had a chance to make her own choices.

And the whole storyline is just meant to highlight how many more opportunities and experiences Rory has, with her private school background and wealthy grandparents. And the show seems to take this bizarre attitude that this is just how it is and also probably how it should be because Rory is supposed to be "the smart one." But... Lane is also smart. And also often more level-headed and mature than Rory. There is absolutely no reason that Lane was destined to this crappy little life in her hometown while Rory traveled the world and had a big career. IRL I think someone like Lane would have had a much more interesting and successful life.[/quote]
