I don't know what it is about Logan Hamburger that's getting to me. I find him infinitely attractive for some reason. This has been further reinforced by The Good Wife in which he plays one Cary Agos. He's so suave, so debonair, yards of charm and swashbuckling wit. But then on Gilmore Girls... Argh, it feels wrong. It just feels wrong. I see it now after the mysterious "B" wrote a comment mentioning it. They don't have that giddy, passionate thing that Rory had with Dean and Jess.
Midsem tomorrow. Wish me luck.

When I see Logan Huntzberger, I don't necessarily understand the thought process of the show. Logan is not a particularly desirable character (if you're looking beyond looks, wealth and temporary status). Logan and Rory are such a passionless couple. They kiss, they have sex, they go to parties yet not for a single moment do I envy them. Never did I think, "My God, I wish I had a relationship like that."
When I see Logan and Rory together, I essentially see what her grandparents saw- two young, attractive people with good breeding, who could come together and attain great wealth, status and have beautiful children. At the beginning, Logan really just saw Rory as another opportunity. Even when he commits to their monogamous relationship, even when he proposes to her, I just didn't feel it. I didn't feel him wanting her. No matter that Rory rejected Marty for Logan, no matter that she dried after drinking gallons of Miss Patty's punch, I never got the feeling that she loved him either. It just seemed like they were two placeholders for each other- they had great fun together, great sex (presumably) together and that's where it ends. I was slightly disappointed by the writers' decision to match Rory with Logan, when ultimately Logan was a slightly misogynistic character. Screw the whole, "Mom, it's college, this is what college kids do" - this is not what Rory does. Rory does not have flings, shehas relationships.
I just really hate Rory post Season 3. Like you said, she does this gradual character 180 throughout the rest. Dropping out of Yale at a moment's notice, when all she could talk about at Chilton was getting into Harvard? Yeah, I get that Mitchum Huntzberger was a dickface, but Chilton Rory would have been resilient, I think. I didn't think Yale Rory was so fragile, that one person's biased, unfounded and uninformed criticism could knock her over so fast.
I love Jess all over again when he briefly appears in Season 6. I just love that he appears out of nowhere and reminds her of who she was - that the old her would have never dropped out. Where was Logan? Wasn't he supposed to do this?
Okay, I'm done now. Good luck with your mid sem!
