Gilmore Girls: Are Lorelai & Rory Too Close? (And Why Sookie & Lane Deserved Better)
In this episode, we break down Gilmore Girls and ask: how close is too close between a mother and daughter? Lorelai and Rory’s relationship often feels more like a friendship than a traditional parent-child dynamic but is that healthy for Rory’s development? We explore a popular Reddit theory that Rory may be Lorelai’s best friend, without that closeness being fully reciprocated.We also look at Lorelai’s long-term friendship with Sookie, a relationship that seems mainly positive but how compatible are the two of them as friends if we look up close? and how does Lorelai's obsession with Rory get in the way.... Then we turn to Rory and Lane, the quintessential hometown friendship. We ask whether Rory’s academic ambition makes her too busy or too self-involved to be a good friend, and whether her closeness with Lorelai limits her ability to form other meaningful relationships.
