\"\"In case you \u00a0somehow haven’t heard, a \u00a0Gilmore Girls<\/em> revival is in the works. Watching these new episodes will cut into the 60 hours a week that I already spend watching the old episodes (seriously, it’s like a full-time job), and \u00a0I’m fine with it.<\/p>\n

Returning characters so far include \u00a0Rory and Lorelei (obviously), plus Luke “FLANNEL” Danes, Emily Gilmore, Paris Geller, Lane Kim (now Van Gerbig)\u2014even \u00a0Kirk, whose last name I discovered \u00a0after a single Google search is Gleason. In fact, it’s looking like the only familiar faces we won’t<\/em> be seeing \u00a0are Richard (rest in peace, \u00a0Edward Herrmann, you brilliant mustachioed patriarch) and Sookie (Melissa McCarthy wasn’t asked, because… scheduling? \u00a0Or they hate \u00a0joy and all things good? Who knows?).<\/p>\n

Yep. That means all of Rory’s boyfriends are returning, too. Jared Padalecki, who played Dean and might just be the tallest man alive, recently \u00a0announced<\/a> his involvement with the project. This completes the controversial romantic trifecta, which previously included Milo Ventimiglia \u00a0as Jess “MYSTERIOUS BAD BOY \u00a0RUFFIAN” Mariano and Matt Czuchry \u00a0as Logan “PRETTY RICH BOY WITH A HEART OF GOLD” Huntzberger.<\/p>\n

Now, the core of the Rory story was always her witty, rapid-fire rapport with the \u00a0Stars Hollow misfit brigade, her freakish closeness with her mother, and her own personal dream of becoming a journalist. But Alexis Bledel has the face of a glorious, ageless, blue-eyed angel, and it just wouldn’t have done for her not to have love interests. The \u00a0boyfriends in question have always been a source of contention\u2014all of them were well-written characters with flaws, and we as a society just can’t quite agree upon \u00a0which of them was the best \u00a0and which of them \u00a0was dumb and awful and maybe deserved to be killed in a freak Stars Hollow town-square gazebo malfunction.<\/p>\n

Do you guys have an opinion? Of course you do. Everyone has an opinion. I’m partial to Dean, but that’s only because I once met Jared Padalecki at a Supernatural<\/em> convention and he tried \u00a0to strangle me with my scarf during our photo together. It was the best day of my life. Can confirm: he is prettier (and taller) than any man \u00a0has a right to be, and he sure knows how to wear a T-shirt.<\/p>\n

So: who was the best of boyfriends, and who was the worst of boyfriends? Please discuss. Use references and examples to support your position, and always cite your sources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
