What’s even crazier is sex and the city never mentions it once

I was 33. Recall vividly. 9/11 made for very very weird dynamics in pop culture. Friends' title sequence had to be redone. Some movies were scrubbed; others were scrapped.

This is super interesting and makes sense! The one explicit mention of 9/11 is during the student orientation at Yale when Rory is lining up to get her student ID. Their guide says: “This is a post-9/11 world.”

Part of why I love Gilmore Girls is because it’s such a time capsule for the turn of the millennium

completely agree, I also always wonder how 9/11 could've affected Jess if the show actually made a choice to acknowledge it

I feel like people don’t give the 2000s show writers enough grace when it comes to “dropped plots” or “plot inconsistencies” in general. 9/11 changed the landscape of media forever

People weren’t ready for 9/11 to be dramatized or to be a plot point in shows. Everybody really appreciated Friends just going on as normal.

I think it made sense for her to try to get an entry-level newspaper job right out of college before she could be expected to be a foreign correspondent at 22.

on the flip side, kids shows like The Proud Family (original) and even SESAME STREET didn't shy away from 9/11 and/or its consequence

I realize it is NOT the same, but it feels similar to authors and tv shows now not acknowledging covid. There is some level of escapism i appreciate about a book that takes place post 2020 that pretends covid never happened. It feels like perhaps it’s taking place in an alternate universe where we aren’t supposed to think about the worst of the horrors.

I think television didn’t bring up 9/11 when it happened because we genuinely didn’t know what it was about to mean for world impact and how it colors every day life.The only time GG acknowledged it is when there’s the Lorelei dream sequence when she asks how many ounces she can bring on a plane.

I honestly don't even see it as her changing her dream, to me it always sounded like she had multiple dreams and I think it was heavily implied from season one that she really wants to work at a newspaper. I think these are her dream jobs: author, editor, foreign correspondent, reporter and any kind of writing job (could even be in an unexpected field like writing for marketing etc.) People always talk about it as if Rory is only allowed to have one "dream job". It's such a normal thing to have multiple dream jobs. I agree that foreign correspondent was probably not an ideal fit for Rory, but personally I think it is completely unclear if she gave up on that dream. Just because she is not doing it now doesn't mean that she will not do that kind of work 5 years later or maybe 10 years later.

that's a GREAT take!! it has never occurred to me! but it makes a lot of sense! it would be one of the ways 9/11 has impacted the lives of everyone in different layers.

Didn’t they dub over a comment Lorelai makes when they’re house sitting for that weird neighbor because of something that happened?

Legally, at the time the FCC didn’t allow them to mention it. Xmas episodes were also cancelled or rewritten to fit a more “somber” tone.

I think Friends very loosely addressed it at one point but it was a blink and you miss it sorta thing. Something about needing a ticket to get past security at the airport

Rory saying she was "applying everywhere right now" to Christianne Amanpour in the finale was very much the reality for those of us that graduated college and university in that time. I finished in 2006 and the mindset of applying to just about anything we could remotely related to our studies just to have a job was kind of the norm for us older Millennials. We knew we wouldn't necessarily get that "dream job" right off the jump. Rory probably understood that if she did still want to be a correspondent, it might not have been right out of Yale. She knew she'd have to do other things first.
