Gilmore Girls
Apr. 3rd, 2010 07:28 amI've been marathonning Gilmore Girls lately, and I'm nearly to the end of S4. This show really can be addicting! :D
But I've rediscovered my complete hate of the character Jess. Rory has douchebaggy boyfriends. Dean: self-absorbed douchebag. Logan: self-absorbed douchebag. Jess: self-absorbed douchebag that I want to repeatedly smash against a wall every single time I see him show his ugly face on screen. I think he might be a fandom favorite because he's a "bad boy" and """"deep""""" (yes, the deep needed extra quotes), but he's just a miserable human being. He treated Rory like complete shit, which she constantly had to justify away (and for some brain-numbing reason seemed to be a draw for her), and I LOATHE HIM. His douchebaggyness even rubbed off on Rory when she was with him - other than the valuable life lesson she got from the whole experience, she was worse off for knowing him. I can't believe they were going to do a Jess spin-off. EW.
*ahem* Feels good to get that out. Urge to throttle something is less now.
I'm also finding that I'm not as into the whole Luke/Lorelei thing this time around, maybe because I know how the story goes now. I luurved it back when the show was airing though. (I'm also not looking forward to the April storyline down the road (the actress was all right, but the entire concept of the character is wretched). I have the feeling there might be a lot of fast forwarding.)
But I still love the dialog on this show - it really is some of the best out there. And I love all the Gilmore (Emily, Richard, Lorelei, Rory) relationships going on throughout. Way more than any of the love interest storylines.
