[WandaVision In The Media]

I really like the fact that they consulted a grief counsellor and that they had mostly female writers. It shows that they really cared about getting the perspective right and show the topic the respect it deserves. As was mentioned above, the show is probably more relatable now since there was so much loss in the past year and so many people have been watching TV as a comfort and escape during this crisis.

 

[Staged - General Discussion]

This is great. I hope that after lockdown, they will do a third season at some point, about slightly missing some aspects of it. 

I admit that during the first season I had a bit of trouble getting that all of it was scripted and had to check online whether some parts of it were true, such as the closed play, Georgia writing a novel, or David writing a script. LOL. I felt a bit stupid afterwards, but I blame it on actors being so believable in their "roles".

[Rory Gilmore: Poor little rich girl?]

I like Rory. 

I liked her the most probably during season 2 when I started watching, but I still liked her in later seasons and in the revival. I don't think that there is a character on TV that I related to more than her. I never had her romantic problems, but I had similar close relationship with my mother, cared a lot about education, liked books and later on I had a lot of doubts during college and was close to dropping out a few times (though thankfully I didn't).

I also liked her storyline in the revival about having troubles with work due to the changes in journalism in past years. I think it is understandable that Rory would have problems adapting to the new era after we have seen how much she appreciated the more classic model of the previous era. I also liked the idea that she ended up writing a book about her and her mother's lives, I think it might suit her more now then being a journalist. Also, she is writing about her real life experiences, which is still a bit closer to that than writing a fictional story.

The only thing I didn't like about her journey is how she ended up pregnant. I understand that is was meant to mirror her mother but the thing is, she is not Lorelai. With Lorelai you can totally see how she ended up being pregnant by mistake, but Rory was always much more careful and I found that to be something that didn't quite work for me. I read that the original series was meant to end this way and I don't know if it would be better or worse if Rory ended up unexpectedly pregnant at the end of college as opposed to now. Neither one really works for me. If they wanted her pregnant at the end, it would IMO be much better if it was by her choice, as it would still contrast her and her mother with showing them in a similar situation, but the way they got there would be more in line with her character. It just doesn't strike me that Rory who always liked having everything planned and organized would end up being pregnant by mistake.
