what are you calling them ? <| sep |> Kept my adblocker on , just wanted to see the screenshot <| sep |> What the fuck did Kelsey Grammar do ? AAHHH ! !!! I can ' t take anymore bad news ! <| sep |> There is some regression , certainly , but I think the writers had this idea from the beginning that most fans don ' t get Having a baby when your life is far from figured out does not have to be a bad thing . In the early seasons , there was a lot of conflict regarding the life Lorelai couldshould have had an amazing education , a bright career , a husband to have babies with and what she got single teenage mom trying to survive on her own . Over and over , her parents , the world , the little voice in her head try to point out her mistake in getting pregnant and having Rory the way she did but she knows , and we do as well , being the audience , that it is not true . Gilmore girls is a treatise on how that bad incident became the best incident imaginable after the fact . And yet , no one would actually go out and advise Rory to do what Lorelai did . The happy mistake is not encouraged and Lorelai , Rory , Emily and Richard all make sure that Rory does not make the happy mistake because they are convinced she will be happier living a conventionally successful life . And how does that work out for her ? We get a glimpse in the original but the revival makes it clear Rory has all the elements for conventional happiness but she cannot make it work . The perfect career is not perfect , the perfect boyfriend is not her own , the perfect life is not there . But it should be ! Except , maybe , she is Lorelai at 16 selfcentered , spoiled , never had to grow up . And while for a mature LorelaiRory , the conventional route would be best , the Gilmore Girls are almost by definition immature . Lorelai was forced into a semblance of maturity by giving up big parts of her egocentered existence to raise Rory . Now maybe Rory ' s mistake will be the happy mistake too , what will push her over the edge into becoming a worthwhile person . GG teaches us that , maybe , you can be just as much a heroine raising a kid as you ' d be curing cancer , as long as you Step . The . Fudge . Up .
