Hey, welcome back to GilmoreGirls101. If you don't know my blog by now, I basically just give you a quick rundown of my opinion on each character of the show. Following up on my last blog about Luke Danes, today I will be talking about Jess Mariano. Now, if you're familiar with the show, you definitely know Jess. You may even be Team Jess. Which I may or may not be. You'll see once I start talking...
So to begin, Jess is the nephew of Luke Danes. Jess is introduced into the show because he was having a rough time living with his mom and Luke was going to straighten him out. Immediately, when Jess meets Rory, we see his interest in her. They had a great connection. I loved it when Jess and Rory would talk about books, or Harvard, or writing. They both had a similar passion and, I think, that's a big reason they connected in the first place. Because Jess started asking Rory about books, and it went from there. I think Jess and Rory had so much potential, I hoped they would get back together in later seasons because it just felt so right. Although Jess made some mistakes, he was going through a lot at home and I can understand some of the decisions his character made. Even after everything, Rory and Jess could still be friends because they had that special connection, it was hard to let go of each other. But, my favorite thing about them, is they wanted each other to thrive. I knew Jess wasn't jealous when he talked about how badly he wanted Rory to go to Harvard. When Jess came back and had his iconic line, "Why did you drop out of YALE?". I once again fell in love with him, just like at the beginning of the show. I think they could've had the most epic love story, and it's a shame they lost that. In my mind, Rory finished her Gilmore Girls book, Jess read it, and fell in love. Jess comes back to see her, and they live happily ever after! If only...
This sounds bad....... He's a strange one, Kirk, he meant well, just like Jess always meant well when it came to Rory.
