[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we supposed to particularly supposed to "like" or be sympathetic to Rory?  She is such a spoiled brat and totally oblivious to her privilege (she's supposedly "homeless" and "struggling" but goes to London multiple times, has three cellphones, has a car, that looks pretty new, wears expensive designer clothes, is looking into surrogacy etc.)
 
She isn't unemployed because she has to be, but the jobs she can pretty much have (teaching at Chilton, editor at some publication) are beneath her.

I prefer the "honest" decadent rich like Emily Gilmore and Logan Huntzberger who don't pretend to be anything otherwise.

I figured all the way through that she must be living off a trust fund from her dad but then he offers her money at the end that she turns down. So, yeah, apparently she travels for free!   I thought her behavior was in some place about presenting her as a really flawed person (extended affair with Logan while he's engaged to someone else) and in others just bad writing -- if she's seriously been a working writer for 10 years she should know how to pitch her ideas.  No writer with any kind of career goes into a meeting without being able to rattle off a few ideas and in both cases where we see her in a meeting she seems completely flummoxed by this.  That annoyed me more than anything because it's just lazy on the part of the show's writers.

Oh, and she isn't "looking into surrogacy" to have a baby -- her comment on that was about [u]working [/u]for Paris as a surrogate.

Overall, I liked the Emily arc and Lorelai finding her path -- committing to marriage, figuring out a new challenge for her business.  And, I thought the "Fall" episode was by far the best.  Hated the  musical stuff in the middle.[/quote]
