Here is an important question, and I am only five years behind the times in asking it: oh my GOD, is Jess SUPPOSED to be so absolutely incredibly repellent? Because UGH Rory what is WRONG with you NO NO NO

YES. I have missed my share of GG episodes, so I don't really feel qualified to judge absolutely, but every time I've seen Jess, I've wanted to slap him in the face. And that affected my feelings for Peter for a long time, too. Just... stop SCOWLING. And CUT YOUR DAMN HAIR. YOUR LIFE IS NOT THAT HARD. You know?

Especially when his competition is tall, sweet Sammy Jared Padalecki. WTF, Rory?

There is nothing to like about him! At all! I just! GRAR!

I disliked Peter at the beginning of Heroes, but by the end of the season I was really loving him. But, like I said, without the Gilmore Girls backgorund I didn't have negative Milo thoughts coming in.

The last few episodes my sister and I have been groaning and yelling at the screen every time he comes on. I feel as though he should have *some* redeeming quality, but I have yet to find it.

We're not that far yet, no, but just knowing that is in the future makes me cringe. Heh.

I hope it was intentional, because that was quite the error if not. When rewatching the series, though, I was surprised to find him less repellent than Dean, which doesn't actually redeem him at all. But if it was intentional, why plan to give him his own spinoff?

(it seems a lot of us are having to resort to friendsfriends for entertainment this afternoon.)

Friendsfriends is a godsend on the really boring days!

I actually really like Dean so far! I'm not sure if it's just liking Supernatural, but he's cute and seems sweet and nice enough.

I liked him the first time through, but the second time I noticed that he's all about the passive-aggressive patriarchial bullshit. Which added him to the long list of reasons I'm not watching Supernatural.

(Sadly, for me lately all days are boring, so I check a filtered version of friendsfriends (just the people I trust to only have extra-fabulous friends) as often as my own flist. Oh, life. Whither art thou? And why has thou forsaken me?)

[marginalia]

god, seriously. i only started watching it last year, and i hate him so much! flames on the side of my face! and it drives me CRAZY because everyone seems to think he is so fantastic.

of course, everyone loves logan too. personally, i think "the other love interest is kind of dull" is not a good enough reason to fangirl utter assholes.

ahem. not that i have strong opinions on that or anything.

BREATHS! HEAVING BREATHS!

Actually, it's not like my hate for him approaches my hate for characters like McDreamy or Nate on SFU, because it's mixed with utter confusion. Just ... why? WHY?

Aww I like him. The big thing he has going for him is the intellectual connection as the bad boy thing doesn't do it for me. I just think Rory needed a guy who had the sweet honor of Dean and the intellectual stimulation of Jess. But I never really cared who Rory dated so it wasn't a big thing for me. Jess just needed to grow up a lot which thankfully he does later on in the show (much later on for a few episodes). Dean bored me a bit more, Jess annoyed me a bit more (except Dean in his *traditional* episode) but in the end I thought they were both good learning experiences for Rory.
