I’ll be honest if this were a more selective list, this guy would probably not have made the cut off – but that’s not the choice I made, and that’s not the world we live in now. So onward we must go.

Taylor Doose

I’ll be honest I often feel a bit sorry for Taylor Doose – I mean no one in town likes him at all. He looses by a land slide in favour of Jackson – a character who I think so little of that he’s one of the few that actually didn’t make the cut on this very extensive list of characters ; in most towns meetings he’s usually the butt of the joke; and even his own family can’t really hide their contempt for him. And yet, perhaps because of how little people think of hi,, Taylor is actually a man who it’s very dangerous to underestimate. He’s arguably the most powerful man in Stars Hollow – not just from his role as selectmen, but because he basically owns all of it.

And while he usually plays the villain to Lorelai and or Luke’s escapades, when we take a step back we might come to see that in fact, Taylor is not an evil man at his heart. And in fact many of the festivals, and activities he plans for the town are usually intended to make money for the town. To build something for the town. Granted sometimes he’s just doing it to make money for his own business, but we’re a capitalist society since when did that become something we automatically shame. You can’t have it both ways, eventually you gotta pick a lane.
