Is some version of Rory the best you can possibly get when trying to raise a literate child? Is it even possible in the digital age?

The Valedictorian at my hs was president of student council, 4 season athlete, straight A student, worked like 20 hours a week at a local supermarket and name dropped just about any book you could imagine.

she got into harvard and burned out first semester, and then traveled by foot through India and Tibet

Seriously though, is this a /lit/ approved show?

Truthfully, when it's on television and I catch it when I'm flicking through the channels I linger on it for a few extra seconds than I would other channels, just to catch a glimpse of Rory, before flicking to the next channel. I still have to change the channel quickly of course so my family don't think I'm actually watching Gilmore Girls. I don't want them to think I'm any more homosexual than they already think I am. I've never watched any more than a few seconds of it at a time.

It started off as a great, culturally aware tv show, then went shit but still mostly watchable for some strange reason.

First two seasons no one can claim are bad at all.

>>
>>7968229
This happened when I was growing up, somewhat to me but also to my best friend to the extreme. She wasn't allowed to watch TV or use the internet, was made to do absolutely everything such as music, sports, tutoring etc. Her mother saw me as competition and I always felt bad for her. When it came to choosing a secondary school her mum found out that I had got a scholarship for a private school so got a tutor for her so she also got in. When it came to applying for university she was forced to apply for Oxford and was rejected straight away because she had ended up like a performing seal - good at exams, music etc but no intellect, no interests and no substance. I still feel bad for her as she went wild at Uni, didn't know how to look after herself without the strict guidance of her mother. She fucked up and has ended up getting a very low mark in the first two years of her law degree where as I'm very comfortably getting firsts in my exams. I always wonder if she ever feels anger towards her mother.

To answer your questions, yes and I hope so. I hate all that Montessori bullshit, but if I have kids I may have to go for it. Many parents are giving their 4 year old kids iPads so they can watch Minecraft videos on YouTube all day and schools are going the same way with "integrated learning", which basically means "less teacher and more computer".
>>
>>7968607
Nah, it's just how the writer of the show writes. They also talked fast in bunheads. It can create a kind of time dilation effect where a 20 minute show feels longer
>>
>>7969140
In younger years education something like Montessori seems more or less optimal. What I don't like is where you have schools that prioritise attendance because the kid might fall behind on independent learning.

As they start to get older the big hole in education to me is political training and similar. Regular round tables and debates and so on. Schooling has to prepare you to understand that part of society in particular.
>>
>>7969042
Ive watched the show, unashamedly, at least three times I'm a guy. Shes written as a bright child but we know nothing of her canon reading speed. It is stated she reads more than one book at once however. I dunno. Its not unbelievable but i get what youre saying. She could just be namedropping though?

It's pretty unbelievable, at one point they say she was reading Tolstoy at five, and she's constantly making references to books, or to classic films or music, she's a literal encyclopedia of culture, while also having a social life, romantic life, being valedictorian of an incredibly selective high school, and being involved in town events. It's kind of unrealistic honestly, and takes away from her character when her only flaw is "bad at relationship choices, but grows out of it".

She also becomes fucking intolerable in the later seasons, once she gets into university, the side characters really carry the show at that point. The whole plot with the band is way more interesting than the whole "Which of the gilmores can fuck a more intolerable person?" thing that starts going on.

How many times was she raped?
>>
>>7971164
The rape areas in India are "coincidentally" the expat westernised areas like Goa with large areas where Pajeets aren't allowed.

I'm not saying that rape is high because western rapists go and live there. Rest of India is mostly alright.

Someone explain this meme please
>>
>>7971355
There was a semi-copypasta on /tv/ about what the difference was between a movie and a film. Some people replied seriously and some people trolled the threads. After months the end result was that 'movie' was memed to mean something created for the masses and 'film' was memed to mean something created with artistry. Over time more terms were added like cinema and kinotegraph. Kino eventually became the meme for the 'most patrician' one.
>>
>>7970976
Making references to widely known or cult classics isnt an amazing feat dude. She isnt exactly a social creature until university: her best friend isnt allowed out much and she spends a lot of it studying aka reading.

Bf power ranking:

Logan > Jess > Dean

I agree about the Tolstoy part though.
>>
>tfw no cute /lit/ cultural meme gf
>>
>>7971806
She makes references to the actual plot though, or characters, and quotes scenes from it, it's more than just making references to shit you could get from a wikipedia page. It's also implied she'd read the books or seen the movies.

You're kinda right about the social aspect though, but she does still have a social life, and is regularly shown as doing better than people who have next to none, and spend all their time learning and studying (Paris, for example, though not the best one obviously).


How can you honestly think Dean is the worst though? He's the only one that isn't an unredeemable cunt. Logan's whole plotline is "I'm a rich trust fund kiddie, but it's totally okay because my dad wants me to work as an executive in his fuck huge company, and I have no choice. Also I end up loving working in the company". And Jess is just edgy and retarded, spends his whole time being a dick to literally every body and somehow avoiding ever dealing with the police despite the tonnes of illegal stuff he does. He gets better though, I'll admit.
>>
>>7974504
Logan is best boyfriend because he is as well read and culturally referenced as she is. Yeah hes a trust fund babby but he readily calls out Rory for her shit, doesnt push her into doing anything and allows her to make massive mistakes in order to mature (ie quitting Yale but points out was her decision). Its her first actual relationship and they break up because it had no where to go.

Jess was everything her mom said he'd be. Again he's /lit/ but is only really great when he returns as published author and arty guy. I think his attachment to her is bizarre since he seems like his confidence only comes from her.

Dean is a pushy cheating douche.
>>
>>7974633
Being ridiculously culturally referenced is no use if you're still just going to act like a spoiled child. He also doesn't really ever discuss reading, he's too busy doing shit with his retard friends and the super secret group that apparently everyone is in. All of the boyfriends call her on her shit, and he does push her into doing stuff, just not stuff that doesn't suit him. The whole point of the character is that he's a stuffy rich dude just posturing as being hard done by, just like Rory was at that point in the show, she had everything paid for by her rich father, or rich grandparents.

As I said, his entire arc is "Oh, woe is me, my life is so hard because my incredibly rich family want me to work in their incredibly large company, and I don't want to, though I have nothing else I actually want to be, and enjoy doing that".


Jess was way better later on, I'll agree, but he wasn't the boyfriend at that point, he was the ex. As a boyfriend, he was a dick, and didn't really have anything to redeem himself by apart from him reading.


Dean was a cunt later in the show, but that was as much Rory's fault as his. When he was the boyfriend, he wasn't pushy, was jealous about the guy she was obviously interested in (which is fair enough), but never really blamed her until it was obvious she didn't care about who got hurt, made an attempt to read more and generally did nothing to hurt her. The only time he was pushy was when he didn't want her hanging out with the guy she was developing an entire relationship, and essentially cheating on him with.

She didn't reject him. She turned down his marriage proposal as it wasnt the right time. The relationship thus had no where to go aka the next chapter of her life opens

Its an incredibly comfy show my friend. Get on it.

Anyone else looking forward to the Netflix reboot?
>>
>>7975280
>Is Gilmore Girls any good? Never seen an episode.
no. GG is entourage for girls.
Rory is the only interesting part of the show.

the show is divided into
-Rory the whore who thinks that she is pure
-the liberated whore mother who is fucked by god only knows how many men (women do not like to be called whores, if this were entourage, they be could whores)
-the rest of the WASP town

Rory has 3 boyfriends (all betas of course)
-Dean the beta: devoted, (therefore) boring, taking shit up to a level unknown to men, always here to support the whore Rory materially and emotionally
(this guy do not fuck her for years)
this is the safe man, that every woman dream of
-Some manlet: mysterious, dangerous, unpredictable, HURTING
this is the exciting man that each woman dream of, from which she accepts to be hurt but not too much
-logan, the combination of the two: the rich beta devoted to her, but not to much since he still can get other girls, still unpredictable and doing things at the last minute, impulsive but always safe for Rory the whore. The wealth from logan allows a completely diversity of leisure while being so safe, so that Rory the whore falls in love with the beta.
He is drama but not hurting as much as the manlet...
This boy is the only boy that Rory loves in the show.
This boy gives Rory a life in her liberal fantasy of becoming a journalist.


The manlet fucked Rory in her prime IRL.

Rory is the typical female who loves to be provided for by men(the first beta was building her a car...) while despising this, through being reminded of her easy life for being:
-a woman
-not a an ugly woman
-a family which has a network
-loving to spread her legs (especially when it suits her)
her friend paris is the same with being fucked by the writer.

I did wank to her though. I loved when she cried in her bathroom and asking why logan did not like her back.
I also wanted to take Paris and Rory in douple penetration
