吉尔莫女孩 第一季

Sometimes the whiteness of this show just gets a bit too much. I don’t entirely hate it. It’s very pro-femisim, which is rare for a 00s TV show but I lowkey feel the Gilmore girls are Karens sometimes, egocentric and annoying in their own ways with privileges taken for granted while the whole town blindly favors them regardless of the situations (several outsider characters’ remarks on the town being a “cult town” actually feel true). The show tries to depict Lorelai and Rory as small-town working class but they benefit from all the upper-class resources through Lorelai’s parents, and needless to say how problematic her parents are…This kind of setting feels like cheating in some ways as it conveniently makes the privileged characters more down-to-earth and relatable. It’s also kind of disappointing to see how many white girls online idolize Rory and the show.

And again an Asian girl, Lane, is trivialized despite she has the same potential as Rory, and of course she has a stereotypical tiger mom.

Even Paris’ character is trivilaized though she seems to have an interesting back story as well. I get that the show is about the Gilmore girls but it goes to an extent that everything seems to be about them and everyone is supposed to empathize with them. The perspetcive is too unilateral, becoming a little tiring to watch after half a season.

ps.还有我真的有点看不下去Dean和Rory谈恋爱，也看不下去Lorelai和Max/Luke/Christopher的感情线。去youtube上把Jess和Rory的爱情线剪辑提前看完了，也不用为了这点玻璃渣糖扫之后几季了。 觉得Rory翘课去纽约找Jess，Jess最后隔着巴士窗户问Rory为什么来，以及Jess帮Rory关洒水器但听到Dean要来又拧开了这两场戏可能是这么久以来看过的最可爱自然的美剧小孩暧昧片段。尽管到后来他们有严重的anger management和communication issues (and the unconsented makeout scene?), 但前期暧昧还是很好磕。
