    I can't help comparing that 'Rory doesn't have what it takes' development with all the 'xx doesn't have what it takes' over the years on ER and other medical dramas. Commited characters like Carter, Lockhart and Neela, and the next gen over on Grey's Anatomy and House face blunt situations where...

    Something that bothered me that I just remembered. Why did Lor go on and on to the doctor at the hospital about how small a town she lived in? Did they trek Sookie into NYC or something for the birth? Wouldn't they have a Star's Hollow hospital, and wouldn't that be where they went?

    She got the same reality check from the Chilton Headmaster, and the Yale professor who thought her courseload was too heavy. However, in each of those cases, it was about buckling down and doing what was assigned. Taking initiative is a brave new world for Rory. Rory is set up as an amazing...

It's a crappy fact, but a fact of life nonetheless, to 'have what it takes,' she needed the sense to chime in in that situation, if nothing else when the issue of recruiting beat reporters from Yale came up.

Clearly he was seeing if she'd take initiative, and she hung back...

    Anyone catch Christiane Amanpour on The Daily Show? I so wanted Jon to ask her if she was aware of and what she thought of being Rory's hero.

    . . . then I could have a more grownup relationship, with sleepovers and stuff . . .

    Interesting that she's siding with her man when it's her man-vs-mom. But she sided with dad when it was her man-vs-dad. Is it because this time it's mom, or because this time it's Luke?

    The first scene of Rory and Lane in the pilot had Lane complaining about her parent[s].

    It's a network drama series. Misunderstandings have to be manufactured to create a story arc. Very disappointed in this cliched development in a great series.
