My take on Gilmore Girls
Before watching the show that seems to be loved by so many people everywhere in the world, I had no idea what it was or that it even existed. That is until I stumbled on it on Netflix. Thank you Netflix algorithm👏. The relationship that Lorelai has with her daughter Rory is endearing in that it resembles a friendship rather than a parent-child relationship or rather a Mrs. Kim and Lane relationship. It is easy to see why so many people love and hold it dear as much as they do. Throughout the entire show one can see that as much as Rory and Lorelai have this close bond there are times when conflict arises and Lorelai has to be more of a parent than a friend to her daughter. These are times when their shortcomings are highlighted.[Spoiler⚠] It only makes sense that one of their biggest rifts would be over Rory leaving Yale when Lorelai worked as hard as she did to give Rory all the opportunities she never had, it must have felt like a big fat slap in the face for Lorelai. Rory eventually goes back to Yale with a zest for learning and an even greater passion for journalism than she had when she first began at Yale. While much can be said of the show and of the relationships that exist, my focus on this very short post are on Lorelai and Rory. In closing I will say that the show's focus on the ups and downs that Rory and Lorelai have sticks true to the intro song "Where you lead I will follow" as they always do.
