RoLo Rocketship


My review, if you read it, was a little sorted and incoherent concerning last night's Gilmore Girls episode. But don't worry, there are some issues and scenes that I'd like to touch base on. For instance, I'd like to lay out my thoughts on the "rocketship" concerning RoLo (Rory and Logan). According to Rory, the rocketship is a personification of what our rich dude thinks true love is all about. More precisely, this representation of love comes from an episode from the television series Twilight Zone. An episode which is consequently the same name of GG's premiere episode...The Long Morrow. In the sci-fi episode, the astronaut fell in love with someone before he was to go away for 40 years, but he would be in stasis for those 40 years. So, when he came back they would be different ages, and she would be old while he young still. But he goes. And when he comes back, there she is. She had put herself in stasis for 40 years so she would be young for him. But he had stayed out of stasis for 40 years, alone in space, so he would be old for her. Sounds sweet and romantic...kind of like love, too. But is it true love? What happened to those lovers? Did they stay together with him being old and wringly? I don't watch too many sci-fi stuff, so who knows.

The real question is -- is it true love for RoLo? Personally, I don't think they have it. What they do have is an adult relationship...which is now stretched out because of the long distance. If it's true love, can it last in limbo? People grow up and away from each other when they are in the same city, on the same street or even in the same house. Can RoLo really make things work? I hope not. Rory deserves someone better. Someone who will return her love and know her. Unlike Logan, who gave her a sweet gesture, but spurned any reaction or any feedback in person with the Christmas ticket. Marty, Jess or Dean would never leave their girls high and dry across a body of water after declaring true love. Ah, I feel like I'm going in circles with this. What do you think? Does the rocketship stand for true love? Does RoLo have that kind of love? And if so, what are your reactions? Plus, let me have it -- do you like the abbr. for Rory and Logan? Is RoLo an appropriate name?

    RoLo? Isn't that a candy of some kind? I don't know if I like it, but it's something. Now, as for the rocketship, I've been on the fence for Rory and Logan to be together. Some moments I think sure. Let them be a power couple. But then there are those moments when I don't think that Rory is the great person she was at the beginning of GG -- and I blame part of that on him. So I guess I'm saying that I can't tell if it's true love. It doesn't feel like it. But who knows. Maybe things will play out better for them this year and give some people the notion that yeah, it might be love.

    I can see how the rocketship could stand for true love. But as you have pointed out, I don't think it stands for lasting love. And with either case, I dona't think that Rory or Logan have one or the other. As for you rolo question Anon, rolo is a candy. It's a caramels in milk chocolate from Hershey's. Hmmm...does chocolate and caramel go together? They taste good together, but chocolate's good with about anything.

    Personally, I'd feel better if they could move on from the boy focus.
