This is all
adelagia's fault.Actually no, I must go further back.
It's all Adam Brody's fault.
No wait, have to go even further than that.
It's all Alison Brie's fault!
You see, I somehow found out about her new romcom, Sleeping With Other People. As an aside, it looks... OK. Pretty generic as far as romcoms go, unfortunately. Nothing in particular stood out to make me think it was any funnier or cuter than others of its ilk. It has a really great supporting cast, though, which includes two Adams that
adelagia and I love -- Adam Scott and Adam Brody. (In fact, we wished Alison's character ended up with ANY male character but the one she's going to end up with. Nothing against Jason Sudeikis, but he's just not romcom hero material.)So we started talking about the Adams (over eggplant moussaka durums at Café Turko -- YUM), and I mentioned that I loved Adam Brody and couldn't understand why Alison would cheat on him (in the movie). Except I couldn't remember why I loved Adam Brody, because I never saw The OC. Then
adelagia hit on it: "He was Lane's boyfriend!"OHHHHHHHHHHH. Riiiiiiiiiight! Lane was Rory's best friend on Gilmore Girls (and quite an awesome character in her own right). Except when we brought up Gilmore Girls, we couldn't then not talk about the best ship on that show -- Logan/Rory. Much reminiscing about the wonderfulness of that ship ensued (okay, okay, reminiscing about the ship and also Matt Czuchry, who has been featured in BOTH our heads as characters in stories we were writing, without consulting one another). It was a complete crime the way the show ended. Rory should have ended up with him. Or better yet, Logan shouldn't have made the ultimatum that would have been impossible for her to accept (and frankly, was rather out of character for him). Apparently Luke/Lorelai shippers were no better off --
jade_okelani was a huge proponent of that ship, and she says the final season basically ruined the whole thing. It's been quite some time since I saw the series, so all the details escape me (clearly, since I couldn't even remember Adam Brody was Lane's boyfriend), but there has to be a point in season 6 when everyone was happy... I kind of feel like I want to identify what that ep is, then rewatch the series until that point and declare "THE END."In any case,
adelagia then followed up (okay, see, I was right to start with, this is at least partly her fault) with a Rory/Logan summary video (alas, not comprehensive). I decided not to watch that, and instead want to find a compilation video of their entire relationship (minus the end) so that we can enjoy it together the next time we meet up. Only... GG is so old that all the videos available online are outdated/grainy (how did we WATCH this stuff before HD?!), and no one seems to have done a supercompilation (I'm very disappointed in you, Internet).While looking for the nonexistent supercompilation, I couldn't help but watch some of their scenes together (I'M ONLY HUMAN). It made me fall in love with them all over again. I love how they start out antagonistically (don't all the best ships start out that way?), then fall in love and start dating (he was a commitment phobe before, so Rory is his first girlfriend)... for THREE YEARS. I always complain that when two characters get together on TV shows, it inevitably spells death for the relationship, because in order to create drama, showrunners then have to pry them apart. Rory and Logan had their ups and downs for sure, but at the end of the day, they were a pretty successful ship even once they got together. Which makes the show ending even more frustrating and wrong. -.-
But anyway... here's one of the clips I enjoyed when indulging in YouTube vids yesterday. Rory's been unwittingly cornered by her grandparents into talking to their minister about preserving "her precious gift." Lawl. She has some bad news for the reverend, though. And then she gets to tell Logan!
(By the by, the guy who plays Lane's boyfriend in this vid is not Adam Brody.)
