I think Rory didn't know what she wanted - not uncommon for people in their early 20s (or even much later). The idea of being an ace reporter for the New York Times Ed very attractive... but so was being a reporter at a smaller paper where she could be a big fish in a small pond. Marrying Logan and finding themselves together was very attractive... but so was following Obama around on his campaign. As we grow up, we learn that dating yes to one dream also means saying no to another. She did that at the end of the series but AYITL showed that Rory regressed and wasn't comfortable choosing one dream over another - she wanted it all and ended up not getting all of any dream.

Each time I rewatch,I find myself hating Daisy more and more. But I was surprised this most recent rewatch at how much I dislike Tom in the first 2 seasons. They really soften him a lot after Sybil's death.

This is my take, as well. I would have liked it if the show had gone in a completely different direction and had her discover that she liked the life she was living planning social events for the DAR. We could see how her mother reacted to learning Rory wanted to be more like Emily than either had ever originally thought. We could see Richard struggling with the complicated emotions of loving his wife but wanting more for his granddaughter while trying to not hurt Emily with those feelings. We could see how Logan feels about Rory when she is no longer his "Ace" but is embracing the life of a socialite. We can see how the Huntsbergers feel about Rory when she no longer "wants to work" as that was their big issue in the beginning. And that's to say nothing for exploring Rory's complicated reaction to giving up what she thought she wanted her entire life and embracing a lifestyle her mother spent 20 years running away from.

Yikes. They both look like they have a number of mental health issues. Hopefully they are both getting help in understand who they each are and who they want to be.

When she was going to move to New Mexico and used the argument that Luke had only known April a couple of months as the reason why she didn't need to discuss it with him really ground my gears. YOU NEVER TOLD HIM ANYTHING ABOUT APRIL, YOU NUT! Was he just supposed to track down all the women he dated nine months after their breakup to find out if a child existed?

Dairy Queen! Which of Blanche's sons has asthma?

The Tinkerbells! What song did the bellhop responsible for kicking the bed to make a vibrate sing?

And Edith sent the letter because Mary told Edith she was wearing an ugly dress and hat and another time insinuated Edith was "fishing with no bait." And for that, Edith sends a letter to the turkish embassy with the sole intent of completely ruining Mary. That was not a proportional response. I understand why Mary sent Edith's old goat boyfriend running by saying Edith was making fun of him. If Edith did something with the very real possibility (and intent) of it ruining Mary's prospects of ever marrying and certainly of marrying anyone of status, Mary was within her rights to respond by sending the old man running from Edith. In fact, Mary's act wasn't nearly as vicious as Edith's. She just ruined Edith's chances of marrying one man. Edith was fully intending to ruin Mary entirely.

I just watched Annabelle the other day. This is a ridiculous episode. Why would you take the blind school children to the circus? Pa is sitting there laughing like an idiot and Mary has to keep asking him what is so funny. "Look out! There's a clown running with a bucket of water! He might throw it on you! Oh wait, it was confetti! Oh it was actual water this time! HAHAHAHA!!!" Harriet is the bad guy for commenting on how big the fat lady is, but that is the fat lady's entire schtick. Bratty Laura is jealous that Zaldamo is dating some snooty bitch so she decides to pour water on rip snooty bitch and rip her dress the poor girl is standing there in her underwear in front of the whole town. Then, for some reason, the snooty bitch is the bad guy for not laughing about being doused in water and exposed to the town. And "baby" Grace sits there the whole time just crying.

I appreciated that she wasn't qualified for the position. He told her to go get her masters and then she could return as a teacher. He wasn't just handing it to her - she had to put in some effort. But, she of course turned her nose up at the idea.

Mitchum wasn't wrong that she'd be a fantastic personal assistant.

Guido Spirelli and Giuseppe Mangiacavallo What is the name of Uncle Lucas' home?

And isn't there even a scene in a later season (I want to say it was after the fire but it might have been when they were looking at buying the Dragonfly) that Sookie went on a rant about the lack of a kitchen at their inn? I really feel like I remember that scene and Sookie saying you can't have a bed and breakfast with no breakfast. So, at least to Sookie, there was no difference between their place and a B&B.

One of her brothers! Going back to Rebecca giving birth, what reason does Sophie give for why the woman in screaming?

Stockbroker What song does Blanche suggest she and Dorothy sing as a duet at the Rusty Anchor?
