Rory Gilmore had me pursing my lips the entire eight seasons I was practically channeling the collective disapproval of every Desi woman in my ancestry.
Maybe the global-wide quarantine has me feeling cynical but Rory kind of sucks folks, and not just in a “I am flawed like every human being” way but in a “every part of her life is tainted by her suckiness” way. It’s when I watched it the second time, though, that made me pause. Heck, even I wanted to be her when I grew up and I was already grown up when I watched it the first time! When Rory Gilmore’s character was first introduced through Gilmore Girlsinto the households of impressionable viewers twenty years ago (feel old yet?), she quickly found home within the folds of many introverted, pop culture-obsessed bookworms with a penchant for caffeine and junk food.Īnd why not? Rory was constantly shown (and praised) to be intelligent, dedicated, witty, tenacious, and more.
In Hindsight is a series dedicated to revisiting old shows, movies, books, and music that impacted us when we were younger and exploring how we connect to it now.
