    "WHY DID YOU DROP OF OF YALE!" - Such an iconic line

      His delivery is everything.
      I don't want to be hyperbolic so I won't say Milo was a _vital_ part of what made GG great or anything, but when Jess appears, his presence is always FELT. He makes an impact every time, and whether you love him or hate him, he does usually push the story forward in interesting directions... And NEVER was a push more needed than during Rory's college drop-out era...

    THIS...THIS...THIS!!!! THIS is exactly why we all love Jess Mariano. He gave Rory the kick in the butt she needed to get back on the right track again. She did the same with him earlier on in the series. He knew he wasn't right for her, so he went off to become that man for her. When he returned, he realized she was not ready for him. They are the definition of right person, wrong time.

    This is the episode that Jess got a lot of respect because he opened Rory's eyes. Milo's delivery was so well done! Logan talking about Hemingway to Rory also triggered her more because that is one of Jess' favorite authors. Her not telling Logan about Jess is in character for her because she did that also to Dean when it came to Jess. Jess also hurt her a lot by leaving multiple times and Rory is someone that runs away from the stuff that hurt her. I love that Jess is the only one that can make Logan jealous because he immediatly saw what we all see.

  • @d2s_duckling
    @d2s_duckling 4 дні тому +38

    Jess was a rebellious and angry teenager with a lot of issues (he grew up alone, his mother was unable to raise him properly and sent him and his boxes at some point to his uncle's home because she gave up on him, and his father was nowhere to be found, no one cared for him, there were so many reasons why he acted the way he did at the time, he was totally a lost boy who probably thought no one loved him and he probably hated himself in the process), and then, there were books and writing (and Rory), that saved his life. And we come to this episode, one of the best of the show, showing us how great (and handsome) Jess has become. He is Rory's wake-up call and it means so much. I missed him on the show, it was so good to see him again, even if it was shortly. I love Jess. I love grown-up Jess. I always will. Team Jess forever.

    Logan wasn't suddenly a jerk in this episode... this was simply the episode where his mask fell off. He's very manipulative and self-centered, and he usually works his charm when he wants to get his way, but that's just his mask.
    Jess is always genuine, for better or for worst, on the other end. He has the best growth
    Jess is Rory's Luke, and Logan is Rory's Christopher, to me at least.

    Aaaand this is where we get the confirmation that Logan is in fact a gigantic man baby, who wants all of the privileges of having his family's money, but not of the strings that come attached with it. If he wanted to be free so badly, he could just fuck off and stop getting founded. But no, Mr. golden spoon wants all of the fun and none of the responsibility. Meanwhile Jess has just become a very decent human being.

    This is one of my favorite episodes of the series. It's the first episode where I started to like Jess. Before this, I couldn't stand Jess. That said, the arrival of bully, trust fund-baby Logan in the series made Jess, even early Jess, look better by comparison. While Logan overtly showed what a jerk he is in this episode, it's worth noting that he wasn't that much worse than the way he treated, Marty, Rory's friend who she cornered into having a movie night with her after she started to hang out with Logan and his gang of idiots, then Logan showed up during the movie night, and instead of telling Logan, she couldn't see him that night, Marty got roped into going along with Rory, Logan, and the aforementioned idiots, putting Marty in a humiliating situation. I lost so much respect for Rory that episode, especially when Marty mustered the courage to tell her he liked her romantically, and her response was that she liked Logan, who she watched degrade him. Rory is such a crappy friend. Putting aside that I think Marty would've been a better match if she would've given him a chance, she could've told Marty how she values his friendship, but she doesn't think they'd work as a couple, instead she just brings up his bully as a better romantic prospect. Then only a few episodes later, in a bit of Karma, Rory ends up drunk, crying on the floor about why doesn't Logan like her. And it's been down hill from there as she's gotten further involved with Logan and his crowd.

    Definitely not Logan's finest episode, but all I'll say in defense against Jess being better for Rory is that he's too mature for her. He had to not be around her, and grew up to be a very productive person. I think he deserves someone who is on the same page as he is.

    They did do a bit of a 360 on Logan this ep, he was just suddenly really jerky. I can also see why he was upset because he's been supporting Rory's decision on Yale, and she never told him she was going out with Jess.
    With that said, there was a distinct difference between his behavior and Jess, who has grown and just came off so much more likable. But sadly, Jess isn't really in the show anymore, so he's not really a valid option for Rory. And in a general sense I do think that Logan has been a good boyfriend and clearly loves Rory. He's had a bad week or so. I am still Team Jess forever but I dont hate Logan.

    I don't hate Jess, but the way fans idolize him is ridiculous 😂 Apparently all it takes is the "wHy DiD yOu DrOp OuT oF yAlE" line for y'all to forget the way he acted for two or three entire seasons? If we have to recap:
    • LITERALLY the last time Jess saw Rory, HE was the one who asked her to drop out of Yale to run away with him. But THAT was okay?
    • Jess is a high school drop out (and that's because of his own attitude - despite being smart enough) and he's out here judging Rory for something he has no idea about?
    • We never actually see Jess applogizing to Rory for, you know....practically forcing himself on her and then immediately ghosting her after? What exactly are y'all basing Jess's "character development" on? The fact that he wrote a book?
    I don't think Jess actually cares that much if Rory returns to Yale....he was just upset seeing her with Logan and took it out on her. That's it.
    Also, Lorelai WASN'T the best mother. Even despite crying about it, she still shuts Rory out. But the second Rory goes back to Yale (in the next episode), she immediately starts talking to her again. Manipulative.

      They didn't develop his character off screen. He was already developed in season 4 where it's clearly being shown he was maturing and trying to improve himself. He was supposed to come back in season 5 for 2 or 4 episodes but because of scheduling conflicts they couldn't bring him back until season 6.
      You simply didn't pay attention in season 4. Also Dean never apologized for how he treated Rory and he did much worse things to her than Jess. Logan too.

      although his entire character development was not shown onscreen, the foundation for it was already laid in s4 clearly. asking forgiveness from luke and thanking him, mending relationship with his mom, working on himself by reading self-help books and even though i think his rash proposal to rory to run away was so out of the blue and irresponsible, he finally got to communicating to rory what he felt even though it was done lousily. so, no the character development did not happen out of nowhere. but, i do agree. we should have gotten a scene where he apologized as well.
