As we all know, Gilmore Girls is coming back. I cannot wait. It's all I've been talking about, thinking about, and researching about. I've recently came out and pledged my loyalty to Team Logan and I am very confident in my decision. Just like Rory, I created a pro/con list of all her ex-boyfriends and Logan's charm came out on top. Swooning about it now, wow.
One of my favorite things about these two's relationship is Logan's nickname for Rory. In episode 6 of Season 5, "Norman Mailer, I'm Pregnant!" before they began dating, Rory asked Logan about a secret society at Yale called the Life and Death Brigade. Rory was writing a story on them for the Yale Daily News and through research concluded that Logan had to be apart of this group because of his family history. Logan denied it. A little while later, Logan has a change of heart and messages her in the newsroom, " Hey Ace. I've got a proposition for you." He goes on to tell her that he will help her out with her story on several conditions and Rory agrees. This is the first time Logan calls Rory "Ace," as in ace reporter and "ace" meaning the best of the best. This nickname sticks and Logan continues to call her that throughout the rest of the series. 88 times to be exact. Here are all 88 lines where Logan calls Rory, "Ace."
