I can think of:

Jackie or Donna's mom hooking up with one of the guys (gross I know)

Similarly, Kelso's affair with the teacher in season 5 would have been a bigger deal and a scandal

Overall more sex and the characters would have started having sex earlier

Laurie would have been revealed to have been SAd at a young age to explain her evil behavior in the present

Someone's secret love child/sibling would pop up at one point and then disappear and never been heard of again (kind of happened with Hyde's father and sister in season 7)

Jackie's family drama would have been explored much more and taken more seriously

The gang would get into harder drugs than just weed leading to someone's (probably Hyde's) addiction and rehab storyline

Similarly Jackie or Donna would have an ED and recovery storyline that would be like 3 episodes long only to never be mentioned again

Feel free to add more this is fun

imagine if that 70s show had been a drama instead of a comedy on like an edgier network like hbo or something. the possibilities.....

I saw people claim that Eleanor was abusive to Blair because of the comments she made about eating in season 1... we really started to toss these words around and use them very liberally huh. Yes, she was mean to Blair and her "why aren't you eating? What do you mean you're not hungry?" and then: "eat the low fat yogurt not the croissant" comments were confusing but consider this- Blair had bulimia, an eating disorder characterized by not eating until getting extremely hungry and then binging, eating a lot at once until you are so full, sick and feeling ashamed of yourself that you vomit it/force yourself to vomit it or otherwise purge it. So maybe Eleanor telling Blair to eat was to prevent her from getting extremely hungry later on and telling her to eat a low fat yogurt instead of croissant was so that she doesn't eat too much sweets at once and feel the need to purge? Just a thought. Only when she told her to eat a desert at Thanksgiving was weird and I genuinely don't understand what she was trying to achieve with that but I doubt the goal was to make Blair vomit again. I think it was more just an insensitive comment that she didn't think through than anything deliberately malicious. Besides after season 1 she became completely different- there were no more comments like these, she seemed to genuinely care about Blair and in general seemed more like an overly permissive parent than an abusive one. So please let's stop throwing these harmful words around and calling everyone who makes an insensitive comment about someone else "an abuser".

Why are people so offended about the 1830s lyric? It's pretty obvious why she would want to go to that time period - it was the era of romantic poetry and the title of the album is literally The Tortured POETS Department. But later she admits that if she was actually there she would hate it there because nostalgia is a mind's trick.

"But the 1830s were problematic" EVERY time period and decade in history was problematic. You can't find a completely unproblematic one. If she had said she wants to go to the 1860s or 1910s then it would be: "oh, so you want to live at a time when men were dying at war?" If she had said she wants to live in the 1960s it would be: "oh so during segregation when black people couldn't pee at the same toilet as the white?" She literally cannot win.

Has anyone ever noticed how there is an unrealistic amount of only children on the show? Lorelei, Richard, Lane, Paris, Christopher probably too, Rory for the first 18 years of her life, and Jess for the first 22 years of his life... I mean this was in the 2000s when the birth rate wasn't THAT low yet. So why? Was ASP just too lazy to write more characters and introduce more complicated family dynamics? Even the sibling relationships we do get are not well fleshed-out, except Luke and Liz. Jess and Doula don't even meet in the original show, Emily has a sister we never get to see, Dean has three sisters but we only meet one. Is ASP an only child? I will say though, Rory and GG's relationship is very realistic for two half-siblings who have 18 years between them.

I wish Lane had a younger sibling, preferably a brother who is much younger, like 8-10 years younger than Lane, not only because the amount of only children in Stars Hollow is unrealistic but also because then we would get to see how Mrs Kim got progressively less and less strict with Lane's brother not just because he is younger and she became more chill after season 5 but also because he is a boy. So Lane would be obviously happy that her mother is more lenient now and her brother doesn't have to live in the same stifling environment as the one she grew up in but on the other hand she would be jealous of her brother because she would watch him easily get away with stuff she was "grounded for life" for. How do you think this would have played out?

I don't mean which you personally dislike the most because of people on there, misinformation, censorships or other reason. I mean which has makes YOU personally feel bad about yourself whenever you open it.

I am very curious about this one because I was surprised by the amount of people that recently tell me that the lockdown was the best time of their lives while when it was happening people were protesting, bitching and moaning, and therapists' offices were overflowing. Maybe nostalgia really is a mind's trick, huh.

It's the way they made sure we knew that, not ONLY had Jess promised (cheerfully, no less!) to take Rory to the Prom, but that he was FOLLOWING THROUGH! They explicitly stated that he was sent to the office while he was TRYING to buy Prom tickets! And then even after the principal told him he was flunking out, he still kept trying to get them to let him go to the dance anyway so at least he'd get to give Rory this thing she wanted! Guys, he tried SO HARD! Like, the show made it VERY VERY CLEAR that he didn't just say one thing and then "not do it," they made sure to show that he was ACTIVELY TRYING! And KEPT TRYING to take her to Prom even as his own life was falling apart! If they could only let him do that ONE THING for HER, then at least not all would be lost. He was like, "Ok, I'm not graduating. That sucks, but you're missing the most important part here, which is that Rory wanted to go to the Prom." He CARED! SO MUCH! He really wanted to make her happy! 😫😭

I have noticed a trend in fandoms where the bitchy characters are preferred over the nice ones because: "at least they have a personality". Since when is hurling insults at people unprovoked synonymous with a personality? Is being kind, quiet and agreeable not a personality? I am confused.

#i know these characters usually have more depth than just being mean #but what i am saying mean is not the only personality type there is #fandoms #this is about people preferring paris over rory #or blair over serena #the unholy trinity over anyone else in glee #etc

I am so over people acting like something is a plot hole when it is literally explained. Paris didn't get into Harvard because she bombed her interview. Monica inherited the huge New York apartment and Chandler can easily pay for his because he comes from money and has a good job. Learn how to pay attention.

Unpopular opinion but I love when characters have the opposite of a redemption arc and fall from grace. I actually enjoyed watching the episodes of Gilmore Girls after Rory slept with Dean or after she stole a yacht and dropped out of Yale. I enjoyed Jenny Humphrey's reputation era when she was Queen of Costance, dating Damian and selling drugs much more than in season 1 when she was the squeaky clean kid. And I think season 4 of Shameless when Fiona did drugs, got arrested for endangering Liam and then broke probation and did drugs again, was the best season of Shameless. I enjoy watching these episodes not only for the drama that ensues but also because there is something relatable about a formerly "perfect" character falling from grace and finally acting out.

Has anyone noticed how Rory's spontaneous trip to New York with Jess in season 2 subtly parallels Rory's spontaneous trip to New York with Logan in season 6? To see Jess she went with a bus and found him in a park and they went book and record shopping and ate lunch at a hot dog cart, whereas with Logan they flew by a helicopter (very environmentally friendly btw) and decided to be irresponsible and not even pack but instead buy everything there. It's a small thing but shows how much Rory has changed in a little of three years.

Also her Europe backpacking trip in Lorelai between seasons 3 and 4 parallels her fancy Europe trip with Emily in season 5.

I have noticed a weird double standard in the Gilmore Girls fandom where when someone questions Lorelai and defends Emily everyone jumps down their throat like: "nooo, Emily was abusive, she wanted Lorelai to get married at 16, she was controlling etc, Lorelai was right to cut her off because she was toxic for her" yet people question why Lane didn't want to move in with Mrs Kim and raise her children there?? After Mrs Kim was 100x more strict and controlling than Emily?? And they say that Lane was apparently ungrateful for everything her mom has sacrificed for her because her mother is an immigrant that moved to America just to give Lane a better future and raised her according to her own values, which is apparently great and traditional? Do you not see the double standard here?? Did Emily also not raise Lorelai according to her own values? But what, just because she's a WASP that makes her values wrong and only Mrs Kim's Korean values are the right ones? Didn't Emily also want to give her daughter a better future?

Both mothers raised their daughters in the way they *thought* was the best but of course it didn't turn out to actually *be* the best and it did harm to Lorelai and Lane. Both daughters are allowed to draw boundaries with their mothers in adulthood and to not want their mothers involved in raising their children because they know how badly they messed up with raising them. That doesn't make them either "right" or "ungrateful" it is their decision.

#i hope this makes sense #mrs kim defenders drive me crazy #same as liz danes defenders #and funnily both of these people then turn around and call emily the most abusive mother ever #when emily imo isn't even 1/10th as bad as liz or mrs kim #lane kim defense #anti mrs kim

Thank you guys for this, the reason I posted this was not because of one particular instance that happened recently (although I have dealt with something similar a couple of times in my life) but because I voiced this opinion on Reddit and I was called "selfish" and "entitled" in the comments and told that no one owes anyone anything and that you should do things for other people not because you expect something in return. So I wanted to expand my sample size and now I see that I am not selfish and it is in fact not entitled to want your relationships to be reciprocating.

Eg: a friend always calls to rant about their problems but when you want to rant suddenly they don't have time. Was it selfish of you to expect them to be there for you and hear you out?
