It sure sounds like Milo Ventimiglia is fiercely ~Team Rory~ on "Gilmore Girls" and all is right with the world
Earlier this summer — long before our eyes got a glimpse of the Gilmore Girls revival, A Year in the Life — Milo Ventimiglia happened to tell a crowd that Jess “might not be Team Rory” and it was like, whoa. Hold up, stop. No, how dare you, you take that back right now. It was a lot to process, but Milo seemed to stick to his guns: We’ve spent so much time focused on “Team Jess,” we never stopped to ask if Jess is actually “Team Rory.”
WELL, since you’ve now seen the Gilmore Girls revival, you know the truth. There is no doubt that Jess is in fact, Team Rory. If you don’t think he is, just take another glance at THIS ICONIC GILMORE GIRLS MOMENT. And like, come on.
Now that the revival is out, Milo is also willing to talk about the Jess-Rory (and the, Jess-Rory+[Logan+baby]) dynamic. Citing the current theory that Lorelai = Rory (duh) and Luke = Jess, Milo is pleased with that analogy:
"I think it would be good for Jess to be like Luke because Luke is a good guy," Milo explained to Entertainment Weekly. "He’s a little stubborn with the diner, with the way that he likes things, but who he is as a man is a very good man."
Going off of that — and going off of the idea that Luke kinda did the same thing for Lorelai — Jess knows what is being set up…should Gilmore Girls return.
“Let’s think of it in terms of who is Amy [Sherman-Palladino is] going to set up to fight for Rory’s affection. Will it be she’s carrying Logan’s child and Jess is going to fight for her because Logan’s going to be schmucky, or is Logan, the rich guy, going to fight for her and Jess is going to be schmucky? I don’t know. I’m thinking it’s Logan’s kid and Jess is going to fight for her.”
OMG we would watch literally a billion seasons of Jess fighting for Rory’s heart (HINT HINT, NETFLIX).
