Lane Kim: It should have been Dave

[@kierralovestv]

Ignore the weird crop you guys. I’m still tryna figure out how to work Final cut pro & ily guyssss

[@Kazuki_0]

Zach is okay, but Dave literally spend entire night reading BIBLE for LANE

[@valeriavacamolina]

This man raised the bar just for Zach to play limbo 😭

[@msmarch]

I wish Lane had turned the antique store into a record store. Early on in the series, she took an aptitude test that said she was good at sales. So she could have combined her passion for music with a natural talent for sales. If she wanted her kids to grow up in her hometown, that's cool but why antiques?

I’m rewatching GG now and I try to make myself like Zach but I just can’t. It was the laziest decision to pair Lane with Zach, and it also bugs me how it came out of nowhere. In season one there is an episode where Lane went out with Deans friend, and didn’t like him like thought she will, and I feel Zach has similar vibes to that guy.

Love this! Lane totally should have been the charismatic music director at Stars Hollow High. I hated Zach so much for her. Even Brian would have been a better match. Mrs. Kim might have a soft spot for Brian, and I could see him running the antique store with her. Meanwhile Lane could be inspiring a new generation of kids and be the spiritual successor to Miss Patty.

They did Lane dirty. The whole series, after Dave left, she didn't have great story lines at all.

[@dianaszuts398]

I agree. And about the rock star part... Yeah, maybe not that, but... maybe she could've own a music shop? Or... she could teach music? I don't understood why she ended up doing the same as her mom? Maybe you don't end up being famous, but you can do what you love? I hate her ending for more than one reason.

[@jorants22]

They could have just replaced the actor for Dave, since Adam Brody got casted in the OC, with someone else and kept the Dave/Lane storyline going.

[@sabreenasnow119]

they should've just introduced a new love interest. was disappointed they settled for Zach. felt completely random

[@ThePortalDevice]

I actually like the aspect of everyone being in a kind of dead-end in the revival. How Rory is struggling in her career, Lane has become her mother and Paris is getting divorced. I like the premise in a 'where do we go from here' type of way. It's a shame they never actually do anything with it. Also I want a Taylor Doose crime drama spinoff because I know that man has killed.

[@Kazuki_0]

Dave is literally the best boyfriend in the show. he's even better then all rory boyfriends compared

[@MoonMaiden1010]

This makes me think of another couple who deserved better: Paris and Dole. Yes, Dole was a bit odd, but when he declared that he would follow her to whereever she wanted to go after college, it showed he was willing to make that sacrifice just to be with her. And then for the show writers to have them DIVORCE in the revival was a slap in the face to Paris. Also if the show did come back, it'd be great if they brought Dave's character in as an adult (maybe after Lane finds out Zach has been cheating or something? I'm just grasping at any straws to get her and Dave back together lol).

[@user74027nh]

Hear me out: if not Dave, it should've been Brian.

[@justema1]

the fact that Dave read the whole bible for lane got me my standards so highhh

[@mysticryd3r]

"Argue with the wall" SENT ME

[@danielmace69]

i’m so convinced that there was a scene in the revival where hep alien gets offered a record deal and lane shakes the big studio exec’s hand and the camera pans to his deskplate which reads “dave rygalski” and it’s really great cause it gives dave and the band the endings they both deserve

[@sydneyjhouk]

The whole glasses storyline really bothered me. Lane was choosing to stop wearing her glasses, not because she was insecure, but for herself, and Zach just disregarded the fact that she liked it that way and sided with Mrs. Kim. If it was her being insecure about how she looked I would understand them disagreeing, but that wasn't it. She wanted to wear contacts, and Zach and Mrs. Kim being so strongly against it just seemed like another way she was denied self-expression and kept in a box. I'm pretty sure there's a line something like "you're not Lane without glasses" which is really sad to me. It really shows how people didn't really see Lane as someone who could live her own life. At the end of the day, Lane was always made into a fulfillment of others' expectations and decisions instead of being allowed her own life and choices.

[@mintghost]

Oh my, you didn't even go into how her first time having sex was terrible and she immediately gets pregnant. I know that's how it goes sometimes but I was so disappointed that it went so badly for Lane. I feel like if it had been Dave it would have been better, but that is just my opinion that he would have made it wonderful and made sure she enjoyed it.

[@littlewhispers8926]

I still believe they could've wrote more of Dave in his and Lane's relationship. They could've had the Adam Brody do cameo scenes in advance or something. Their relationship was never a huge part of the show, so they wouldn't be on screen together for very long anyway. That kind of scheduling might've worked with his OC schedule. Dave was the best love interest for Lane and I think more effort should've gone into keeping them together.
