Too much TV!!! (Well, DVD TV!!!)

So as previously mentioned Laura purchased the second season of the Gilmore Girls earlier this week. Now, why she chose to buy the second one before she bought the first, I have no idea. I suppose that doesn’t really matter though does it? No, probably not. Anyways.

I never really paid attention to the show before. I’ve never really paid attention to many TV shows at all, so why would I choose some random weekly one on the WB? I hate the WB. However, I will admit…I have gotten quite addicted to said show since my sisterling’s purchase. Now I can understand how Laralai and Rory’s relationship can come across as completely unrealistic, and how their quirks could get annoying, and how their constant pop culture references may seem a bit over the top (But for the love of God, they mentioned Brigadoon! That’s so freaking awesome!), and that some may consider the show to be totally ‘chick’…but I still like it.

However, I have one problem with it tonight.

Okay, a theme through most of the first season is daughter Rory’s relationship with boyfriend Dean. Now, Rory is a charming brilliant sweet little girl who studies all the time, dreams of going to Harvard, staying best friends with her cool mom forever, and everyone who meets her likes her. Dean is a classic all American boy, who is crazy about Rory and fits in well with the Gilmore Girls, but some could say he’s nothing more then average, and that’s one thing he and Rory fight about a lot. Dean is constantly telling Rory how special she is, and how much she deserves, but Rory just rebuttals by saying that it doesn’t matter, and that she loves him and doesn’t care if he’s not into all the things she is (i.e. Rare books, well…literature in general, going to a prestigious college, listening to ‘good’ music, etc.).

However, when New Yorker boy Jess comes into town and just so happens to be ‘super intelligent’ and ‘into all those things’ Rory ends up falling for him and CHEATING on DEAN.

Now I can understand why it might not seem like a big deal, but I am very disappointed in this. She said all of those superficial things didn’t matter, and that they weren’t important to her, that Dean being who he was would be enough…but it appears it wasn’t for little Miss Rory.

*sigh* This is quite pathetic. I’m going on and on about a lame TV show. I promise, no more Television for a month for me (That’s when season three comes out anyways! HAHAHAHA!) and I’ll read so much that I won’t be able to see straight anymore.
