Rory was just a brat - A rather spoiled child who really makes the viewer wonder why anyone would want to be around her. Alexis Biedel isn’t a great actor ,and she seems to have decided that Rory being precocious and annoying was a way to make her “intellectual.” Try as I might, I really couldn’t feel for a teenaged girl with wealthy grandparents living in a relatively safe town, with few major concerns in her life. Apparently life after college is REALLY going to be hell for Rory as her mother did precious little to prepare for the realities of places where people don’t trip over themselves to be your friend.
There are absolutely no stakes involved - Seriously. The biggest dispute seem to have been Rory going to her grandfather’s alma mater of Yale, rather than going to Harvard as her and mother wanted her to. Wow….them are tough times there. Nothing in the series “mattered” and you realize that when you’ve decided to invest your time in the series (I binge-watched it about five years ago , just before the pandemic)
Yes, I understand that many people liked the series.

Hmmm….
Why didn’t I like it, personally?
It’s surprisingly dull - Lauren Graham is an attractive actor but her inability to convey complex emotions is why she hasn’t moved past a modestly successful series that aired more than 20 years ago (Yes, I know about the “update”. It was crappy as well). Alexis Biedel’s acting “range” consists of frown and pitching her voice to different octaves. You really didn’t expect her to do much of consequence in the series, and sure enough, she really doesn’t. There are some good characters in the background (Lorelei’s parents, Lane Kim, Sookie, Luke,etc.) but since they simply exist to service the needs of the titular “Gilmore Girls”, the series steers away from them when things start to get interesting. It’s a boring show that ironically grows evermore so the longer that it was on.
How do I become an intelligent man?
Most of the other characters were ciphers - The series spent so much time on Lorelei and Rory’s easily solvable problems and their shared narcissism that seems to have forgotten that it needed to flesh out the world around them. Basically you REALLY have to watch the series closely to remember many of their names, much less their motivations, if they indeed have any.
Lauren Graham’s Lorelei was attractive…but not “drop what you’re doing and get over here HOT” - In a small town she would stand out, but the narrative wants the viewer to believe that men who could pull quite a few women themselves are going to screw up their lives chasing after a woman who’s good looking, but not a stunner,and who is unpleasantly manipulative. The narrative never made it clear what aspect of Lorelei’s personality was supposed to be attractive to men beyond her looks and even that seems to have been a mixed bag of offerings.
Question: Why do some people dislike Gilmore girls?
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
Depends upon the people, doesn’t it?
However I did not and the above reasons are why.
