Really? He struck me as a bit of a sap and that Rory kind of walked all over him.
Wow, I don't remember thinking that Dean was controlling, but I haven't watched the early episodes in a long time. I thought Dean was the nice guy next door type and that he and Rory didn't really connect on all levels...then Jess entered the picture, and she seemed more compatible w/ him.

Have not really seen Dirty Dancing in years and caught a little bit of it the other night. Just now realized that Emily Gilmore also played Baby's mom

Sally Struthers actually doesn't talk like that in real life. Babette's voice is incredibly annoying:

Maury - he served no purpose whatsoever and in fact, I don't remember him ever uttering a word, just using those stupid gestures.
TJ - such an annoying, clueless guy. So tiresome listening to him rant.
Babette - THAT VOICE!!!
Favorites (other than Lorelai and Rory):
Luke - I love the man. So kind, generous, always trying to help Lorelai and make her happy.
Kirk - quite possibly the funniest character on the show. Steals every scene he's in. I loved it when he started "Kirk's Diner" across the street from Luke's and copied everything about Luke's.
Sookie - such a sweet character. And funny! I love seeing Melissa McCarthy before she became famous and vulgar (even though that's mighty funny too).
Mrs. Kim - another scene stealer. She gets the best lines.
Richard - I love him and the scenes when he shows how fond he is of Lorelai and/or Rory.
Emily - I love when we see her become vulnerable and kind. Or when she shows she has a sense of humor. I think Lorelai can be too hard on her.
So many great characters, those are just my favorites!
I found the Kirk scenes kind of annoying, for the most part. Loved the Mrs. Kim scenes!!

I think Amy Palladino used Morey to channel her love of 80s fashions. She's seriously in a style rut:

Lol!!! 
But Morey DID dress in all black. At minimum, he was dressed like a Greenwich Village coffehouse/jazz club guy from the late 50's- 60's.

My younger college and literature grad-student self would have totally loved Jess!
Actually, much of this would explain why he could be so dickish.
Jack Kerouac's On the Road is such poorly written, self-indulgent drivel. And don't get me started on Ayn Rand. The Fountainhead is like the college boy's how to guide on how to be a self-centered, pretentious prick.
Totally! Remember Miss Patty's husband dressed like he was a part of the Beat Generation, too??
I was surprised that, according to that article, Rory tried to get Jess to read Ayn Rand. Ha! Of course Jess would like Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs, though. I think his character was based on those types of Beat Generation writers. And he was tackling Ulysses in high school. Nice.
The writers were very fond of misanthropes--Luke was quite the curmudgeon and Jess, the less cuddly, less relatable Rebel without a Cause.
Sorry, it was, Babette's husband, Maury, who dressed like he was a part of the Beat Generation, not Miss Patty's!
Not really.
Icons from the Beat Generation:
Morey dressed like a cross between Ducky from Pretty in Pink and Madonna from Desperately Seeking Susan, in short like a teen age girl from the 80s.

I think they could show some character growth / maturity with Jess and possibly Logan, but mostly Jess. Dean was kind of already "grown up."

Okay minus the fact that he was married when they got together for the second time. But he should have never married Lindsay. He was still in love with Rory!! I'll erase that from my memory. Never liked Jess or Logan.
Also, from the previews, it looks like Rory is a teacher now.
Dean was a nice guy. Not sure they had much in common, though. Pretty sure the writers will NOT make her end up with Logan. I think they will write Jess back into the story somehow b/c he was an interesting character - great for ratings! Fans of the show are wondering what ever happened to Jess...
