I think there's been misinterpretation of the storyine with Rory cheating on Dean.

The point of it isn't to glamourise cheating or to suggest that Rory and Dean are 'meant for each other', the point is to show the result of Rory's loneliness all year. She lost her sense of self and place when she went to Yale and didn't know how to navigate this new time in her life. Rory definitely wasn't over Jess, who already came back once to say he loved her and then left again, and the two dates she did go on were duds. When Jess came back a second time and asked her to run away with him Rory panicked and remembered Dean as the 'safe' choice, and, I would argue, was a large factor in her deciding to sleep with him.

It definitely wasn't a good decision and I don't believe the show is saying that it is. It is clearly a mistake. The right decision would probably be to say no to Jess AND Dean, but Rory isn't thinking clearly. The storyline is showing (as other storylines have before) that when Rory acts impulsively she makes reckless decisions. Rory thinks so much of her life through that these choices stand out in contrast, and it is interesting how it adds to her character. Rory doesn't always make the right decision, nor do any of the other characters, yet Gilmore Girls isn't about that. It's not supposed to be an instruction manual, it's a story about people, and the flawed choices we all make.
