right place, wrong person (2024)

If you had to choose: Barchie or Rory/Logan?!

Oh that's not even a competition, Rogan! I love Barchie but I didn't even finish watching their show, lol. I've only seen clips of when they're together. Barchie is also like the fulfillment of a childhood ship from the comics.

Rogan do have the advantage in that as many problems as I have with Gilmore Girls, it's a much better show than Riverdale. But as much as I love childhood friends to lovers, there's something about someone coming into your life and changing the way you interact with the world. Logan and Rory do start as friends. They have fun together as friends too. They were pretty clearly interested in each other romantically but I think it's important to remember that Logan felt that Rory's friendship was so important to him he didn't want to alter it because he didn't want it to be like all the other girls he was with before her. Logan gets Rory out of her comfort zone but Rory did the same for Logan.

I think Logan helped a lot with Rory's confidence and her going out to get things she wants when he asked her to jump with him. Before him Lorelai almost always had to talk Rory into doing new things: going to the Chilton dance, signing up for the Chilton speech, opening her door at Yale for the party. Logan asked Rory to jump with him and after that she started making bolder decisions on her own. Granted, they weren't always great decisions and she definitely crashed and burned sometimes, but I think he helped her grow so much as a person. Logan doesn't have as much screen time without Rory but we know he took big risks for her too. He'd never been in a serious relationship before but he wanted to try because he cared that much about her. Of course fails at times but you really know he's trying his best. Also I love that he tries so hard with Lorelai, that says so much about him to me.

Part of what I didn't like about the revival is that they removed that aspect of their relationship. They reduced it to just wacky adventures and illicit affairs. I do like that there was still the sense of friendship and support, but they stagnated the part where they stepped outside of their comfort zone for each other and helped each other grow.
