While Gilmore Girls was sometimes guilty of glamorizing the flawed relationship between Lorelai and Rory, the shows Thanksgiving episode highlighted what happened when Lorelai’s approach to parenting broke down. The entire cast of Gilmore Girls was interesting on their own merits, but there was a reason the show’s creators chose the title. The series was about the thorny, complex relationships between three generations of women in the Gilmore family, first and foremost. This was why Logan left Gilmore Girls before the series finale, as this gave the shows last episode a chance to focus on Lorelai and Rorys relationship with each other.
