rory & jess (28)

[@You-dont-get-to-know-1001]

So, they had a wonderful friendship as well as amazing romantic chemistry. I love seeing the scenes where they genuinely get along and aren’t just flirting. Absolutely beautiful.

[@hellostephanie]

Yep. The car scene on the way back to Luke's from ice cream was the perfect representation of friendship and how natural it was that they cared for one another.

Rory never had this chemistry with anyone of her other boyfriends, not even with Logan, even though he was her longest relationship

[@prairiejones4290]

well her and jess dated in real life but yeah

[@michaelweinberger3041]

So true!!

[@corvaliis]

makes me think if that even matters to anyone IRL. Do people even think twice about the chemistry they have with people or are relationships just really 1 dimensional. All about money and stuff. If I noticed I related to someone emotionally and stuff I'd want to be with them for a long time

I don’t support Rorys cheating history. But her and Jess are a better couple. They should’ve kept it in the show

[@augustharper15]

And with Jess, Rory didn’t cheat

[@tobytheshih-tzu6329]

@@augustharper15 Tells me enough about where her heart has always been! Also he was the common denominator in her cheating history, and he ends up being the only one she doesn't cheat on, or cheat with. I love how he broke up with Shane before he got with her, unlike Dean and Logan who are cheaters. She got on a bus, and went to go see him, and so he came back for her, and when she kisses him her heart was speaking for itself! 💕 I just wish she would have broken up with Dean though sooner. I think if the show continued, she would eventually see that it has always been Jess for her the whole time. It will just take her a while to figure it out like it took Lorelei so long to figure out Luke was the one for her, he waited for her like 9 years before Lorelei accepted her feelings for him, in a similar way it's taking Rory a long time to figure it out because she always thinks there's something else out there for her like Lorelei did, but if she is truly honest with herself her heart always goes back to Jess! ❤ She only listens to him too, and he helps her out when she is ay low points in her life, just like she did for him they inspire each other in many ways, he was the only one that truly broke her heart when he left like that, but also the one that loved her the very most. I wish she would have given him another chance instead of staying with Logan.

[@augustharper15]

@@tobytheshih-tzu6329 yes, Jess could’ve kissed Rory right when they were about to get together but wanted to break up with Shane which was more respectful to everyone involved. Though he was the bad boy who may seem like he would get Rory into trouble he really didn’t, and he never made her his mistress like Dean or Logan. I too wish Rory would’ve broken it off with Dean sooner but I think she was just confused and putting off her first real breakup from her first boyfriend. She may have still liked Dean but they had little to nothing in common while Jess and her had nearly everything in common. As far as books, music, and having their own lives. Dean got super pissed at Rory for wanting to do extracurriculars for Harvard instead of spending every moment with him while Jess encouraged Harvard every step. Plus Dean had anger issues, trust issues, and was very controlling-all these before Jess even entered the picture. I really think Jess was her twin flame that got away. I know they were dating in real life while shooting but there chemistry onscreen was unmatched. 💕 needless to say I agree with everything you said.

[@tobytheshih-tzu6329]

@@augustharper15 I know I love that he waited to breakup with Shane before kissing her or anything it showed how much he truly loved her, and treasured her in every way! He could never make her his mistress because she was the only one for him, he wouldn't have it any other way. He knew she was the one for him, and she knew it too she was just scared because she didn't know if he would leave her again like that. I understand that confliction of having that first boyfriend confusion, and Dean was super controlling, and they had nothing in common, no chemistry. I think her and Dean would have been over without Jess in the picture. I know I love that Milo, and Alexis dated they were perfect together I do think that helped make their chemistry amazing! Their chemistry was always out of this world compared to the rest! I also agree with everything you said!

[@silverwolf8128]

They remind me of Luke and Lorelei. ... ***SPOILERS FOR THE GILMORE GIRLS YEAR IN THE LIFE SHOW*** ... Wasn’t the right time. And it’ll never be the right time for her and Logan, just like Lorelei and Christopher. I’m sure Logan is the father of Rory’s baby and if she really follows in her mom’s footsteps she’ll be with Jess in the end.

[@erikha.v]

this. since the moment they met on Season 2, I've always been looking forward to their scenes together. I got disappointed that there's not a lot, and even more disappointed that they didn't end up together while Jess loved Rory until the last episode of the revival 😢

[@therooky7733]

They are so meant to be.

[@kinseyhallam8750]

it's so said that he said "whatever" when Rory said she'd say hi to Luke for him. you can tell he genuinely cares but he's been hurt so many times in his life he just puts up walls and acts like he doesn't care about anybody. it may be true and Luke and Rory are the only ones he actually cares about.

[@CH-fc3pk]

Honestly, all I could focus on was the people swerving around them because they were taking up the entire footpath...

[@nikolaiquack8548]

You know what shows me that they're perfect for each other, be it in a romantic or a friendship way? Their little banter about ridiculous things, like Rory's withering stare. If two people can throw back and forth like that, they just work! I know, because it happens all the time with my friends (and crushes sometimes).

[@joanna2039]

Jess leaving and coming back represented Rory's father being an inconsistent part in Rory's life -- his unpredictability was familiar to her and that's a big reason why she felt so drawn to him.

[@cloudyskies007]

Nah, Rory already liked Jess way before he first left, and him leaving is definitely not in his favor in that regard. In fact, Rory couldn’t give Jess a second chance when he later came back exactly because she was afraid he might leave her again, and she just wouldn’t be able to take the heartbreak (she says so to Lane after Jess asks her to run away with him).

[@idfy2599]

This was shot on the WB lot. The subway stairs go nowhere. Rory is into Jess and you can easily see the Dean bracelet dangling. So , really, she was kind of cheating on him. I suppose she could justify it as a goodbye to her friend. But could have done that over a phone call.

[@AuroraXA]

It was clear to me that she was into him the moment she took a train to new york to see him. That wasn't just a "I miss my friend/you didn't say goodbye" kind of gesture.

Watching Gilmore girls I hated Rory and jess and I was team Rory and Dean all the way and now rewatching theses I like them as much or even more than Rory and logan.

I never had a problem with Rory liking Jess, what I hated is how she lead Dean on, she should have been honest with him. That one scene that shows her during summer camp with a bunch of unopened letters from Dean and she puts them aside and starts writing "Dear Jess" for a letter was the nail in the coffin for me about Rory. She deserved everything bad that happened to her.
