I've been really excited about going through the show again so that I can find out what I missed at the tail end of the show. I remember loving those first 4 seasons so much when I watched it the first time, and I've seen many of those episodes here and there over the last 7 or 8 years since the show ended. So I've been very nostalgic about this show about a couple of loveable women working through their relationships with each other, their family, their town and their men.
I'm almost finished Season 5 now, and I definitely remember watching these episodes, but I'm beginning to realize why I don't remember much of the later seasons, and why I declined in watching it, stopped making it a priority to see the new episodes. I hate Logan Huntzberger. I hate the Life and Death Brigade. I hate everyone Rory surrounds herself with, and is kind of becoming.
They are spoiled rich kids who have no respect for anything at all. They are rebelling against the world that is less than them since they are so above everyone. And Rory wants to spend time with them.
It's so difficult to watch her become exactly what her grandparents are, exactly what they wanted their daughter to be. And what's worse is that since Lorelai moved away from that world and exposed her to all that is interesting and unique and unfair and miraculous in the world, Rory is consciously making the choice to be that person. She doesn't even have the excuse of the rest of the characters who maybe just don't know any better. She knows better.
I definitely stopped caring to watch the show as I watched a character I used to identify with became something that I really disliked. At this point, I'm struggling once again to continue watching the show. I mean look at her, she looks like a Mean Girl!
Why ruin a great memory with ugly truth?
