[quote=Anonymous]I loved this.

You can tell this was made with love and a lot of attention to detail to ensure fans had all their questions were answered and got what they felt they missed with the series' abrupt end.

I am however, sorely disappointed with Rory Gilmore. When she was younger, Rory Gilmore emerged as a sort-of role model for young girls in an age when young female characters of TV offered nothing more than good looks and obsession with boys. (Compare her to Lizzie McGuire for exanple.)

In comes Rory Gilmore, a shy, quiet, bookish nerd who would rather wear shapeless tops and hang out with her mother on Friday nights than go to a party with the cool popular kids. She had goals, she had ambitions, she loved her mother.

It was so tantalizing and refreshing to have the good/nerd girl be a lead for a show for female audiences for once.

Rory made mistakes, for sure. But we were always told that this was "not Rory" and she was going to be a trailblazer and go on and do great things.

Instead, we meet Rory at 32 years old, jobless, homeless and involved in a love affair with an engaged man who has no real regard for her. She is so meek and feeble, she can't even score an interview with Conde Nast despite being a celebrated Yale alum and a Gilmore!

And then, she winds up knocked up by the same guy who can't respect her enough to even properly date her.

Why?? What was the point of following and rooting for Rory all those years?
