58. Is Rory too good for Jess? Jess too good for Rory?
Lots of people in the Gilmore Girls fandom say that high school Rory was too good for Jess, but adult Jess was too good for Rory.
Is this true? Today, sisters and Gilmore junkies Jackie and Catherine dive into the nuances behind this idea.
What does it mean to be “too good” for someone? Jackie has a 7-part framework for what she thinks it means!
Once we heard the phrase, “Rory aged like milk and Jess aged like wine,” we knew we needed to get to the bottom of this.
Can we appreciate adult Jess without putting Rory down? How do her accomplishments factor into this? And more importantly….should they?
How does Jess’s troubled past contribute to their relationship problems, and much of a “pass” should we give him?
Get ready, townies. We’re goin’ deep!
