Rory Gilmore and Barack Obama
ABC Family aired the series finale of the Gilmore Girls yesterday (for the very first time since the series ended in 2007). In the final episode, Rory gets a job at a web magazine where she's set to cover Barack Obama's campaign.
Two years after the fact, I can't help but wonder what Rory Gilmore is doing now. I find it strangely omniscient that the writers of Girls would decide that our little Yale grad would follow Obama rather than other Democratic presidential hopeful Clinton. I wonder if they had a feeling he would become President someday.
Where is Rory Gilmore now? Is she feeling the pains of the recession, jobless and broke and living in a cardboard box? Or is she flourishing as a reporter ala her hero Christiane Amanpour? Or is she back at Star's Hollow, living at home like so many other college grads her age?
I smell a new ABC Family spin-off series.
