With the Gilmore Girls revival in full swing, we some of us at the Mercury find ourselves asking that age-old question: Who is the best Gilmore Girls boyfriend? Now that we’re finally getting our dreamed-of Stars Hollow mulligan, who will ultimately win Rory’s heart?
Our revered editor in chief, Wm. Steven Humphrey, says, “In Stars Hollow, money *can* buy happiness. #TeamLogan.”
Our music editor, Ciara Dolan, is on #TeamJess, saying, “Jess finds himself and starts his own bookstore, clearly the most well-rounded candidate for Rory’s love. I cannot see any redeeming qualities in Logan other than his spontaneity. But he can only be that spontaneous because he has a ton of money and no responsibilities!”
Our calendar editor, Bobby Roberts, is also #TeamJess, with a caveat: “Jess is best,” he says. “Although honestly, Rory is like, the villain of that show post-season two, so I’m happy that he got clear of that whole thing.”
And I contend that (a) Dean is an emotionally manipulative POS, case closed, (b) Logan, a directionless male Gwyneth Paltrow, is no better, and (c) Jess, who is an avid reader with a checkered past (SWOON) is obviously the only appropriate choice…
…with Paris as the only possible alternative. THE CASE CAN BE MADE.
But who cares what we think? Obviously, the most scientific way to figure out who is worthy of Rory Gilmore is to punt it to you.
Aw, Season 1 Dean was perfect. And so cute! He hit some rough patches, but I’m hoping everything turned out okay for him.
Where is the I don’t give a shit selection?
@UJFOYT, you can find it pretty easily under the “This Isn’t a Topic I’m Interested In; Thank Goodness There Are a Trillion Other Things I Can Read On the Internet” section. Hope that helps!
Being an extremely rich person myself, Logan was rather intriguing. He was so caring (when it was convenient), AND also a jealous dongmonger when he felt the littlest bit threatened. So cute! ALTHOUGH he was the hottest.
Dean was just awful all around. And Jess almost certainly trotted out a masturbatory thinkpiece about how terrible it is to be an attractive 20-something with Affected Droopy Lip Disease (ADLD).
Maybe the reason Rory never got a decent boyfriend is because she is consistently the worst.
