Hot Take: Dave Rygalski Is The Only Good Guy On 'Gilmore Girls'

Thoughts?

On a Reddit post praising Dave Rygalski for reading the whole Bible in one night to prove himself to Mrs. Kim (which is practically impossible considering the current Guinness World Record is 76 hours), Gilmore Girls fans started pouring out their support for the short-lived romance between Dave and Lane.

"Really wish we got to see his storyline properly play out," Reddit user @happinessbooked says, while @aliicia555 agrees that "He is the best alongside with Morey."

Not only does Dave read the entire Bible in one night, but he and Lane went together so well. Throughout his friendship-turned-more with Lane, he isn't intimidated by Mrs. Kim, and he's consistently just a fun person to be around. He also doesn't have any of the whining, competition, and manipulation that the other boys bring.

"He was the only guy she was ever with whose interest seemed to match her own," @Tenderfallingrain says. "He was willing to go to great lengths to be with her, and never complained about the weird rules, or Mrs. Kim's expectations...I also really liked that he took the initiative in the end to seek Mrs. Kim out himself and try and ingratiate himself to her."

While Dave ended up attending college in California (and Adam Brody joined the cast of The OC), we can't help think about what would have happened if he had stuck around Stars Hollow! "Zach/Dave/Lane would've been a much better love triangle than Dean/Rory/Jess, Dean/Rory/Lindsey, & Dean/Rory/Logan," @Tenderfallingrain continues. That is definitely a plot point I would've been very interested in.
