I think some of you should read spoilers
Some of us have read spoilers. And, so as not to spoil things for those who don't read them, we continue to post here like we have no knowledge of what's going to happen. Besides, spoilers don't change opinions.
I don't think it could be as cut-and-dried as Rory can have everything if she works for it. Paris is in Rory's head, if she says that doing the long-distance thing again is choosing a career over a mate, Rory would have been thinking it. She said she wanted to factor Logan, but that she wasn't prepared to make career sacrifices to be with him. She can't just ask him to pull a Doyle if his best option is in CA and hers is in NY.
Alternatively, maybe everything but the Reston is second-choice and she will find herself more flexible in choosing among her backup options, but where's the drama in that?
Well, I feel it's as cut and dried that there's something wrong if Rory doesn't even
attempt to have everything that's important to her. If a long distance relationship doesn't work it should be because they see a long distance relationship doesn't work, not because they tossed out the option before they got out of the starting gate. Yeah, I'm mixing my metaphors.
And, I don't get Paris is in Rory's head. Do you mean if Paris said something that means Rory was already thinking it before she said it? In which case, Paris is a mind reader, which means there should be two Gilmore Girls alumni over on Heroes. Or, do you mean that Paris said something and she planted the idea in Rory's mind that wasn't there in the first place? In which case, either Rory is really susceptible to suggestion, or Paris has really strong powers of suggestion, and hey, Heroes could use her in that capacity, too.
*slaps self* I just realized something. Paris wasn't even trying to make Rory think that a long distance relationship between her and Logan wouldn't work. Paris isn't exactly the most empathetic person out there. She was sad about breaking up with her boyfriend. I doubt she was focusing that much on Rory. Her comments were all about herself. She just had a convenient sounding board who happened to be in a similar situation that she could project on. She was missing Doyle, but she felt she had to break up with him and she was arguing against Rory telling her that maybe she made a wrong decision and her own feelings that she made a wrong decision. And, she justified it, by saying Rory would do the same thing. *shrieks with laughter* Rory is getting pensive and indecisive over a train of thought where she was actually a minor player?
