Max Medina

So this episode starts off with a bang when Rory finds out that she got a D on her Shakespeare test.

Mr. Max.

Mr. What's his name? The English teacher.

I think...

It's Max something.

Yes.

And this comes into play later.

Yeah, I think that's critical.

Season one is where we first see it happen.

Now let's talk about Max Medina.

He is not just Rory's English teacher.

He is also Lorelai's love interest.

Speaking of classics, now let's move along to Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

I had to include at least one Shakespearean tragedy.

They are sprinkled all throughout the series, especially in season one, because if you may recall all the way back in that Deer Hunters episode, Rory wasn't doing so well in Max Medina's class, and then she was up all night studying for the Shakespeare test.

When she overslept and a deer hit her, yes, a deer hit her, if you know, you know.

So with this one, there are five, and I would like you to start from the bottom again.

At the bottom for me, against my 12-year-old heart, I think it's Max Medina, and-

Ooh.

Okay

Yeah

... also the first town meeting.

But there's parts of that episode that I'm kind of like, like the Max Medina of it all, I could take it or leave it.

But-

What's-

Max Medina-

Okay.

What's his-

Okay

... and so she's, like, the-

So Max is into Lorelai, who is the mom?

The mom of Rory.

Yeah.

Um, these are like episodes that I'll like never come back to, but I think it was like the setup of it was really good, like the, the Max arc, the Dean arc, like-

Oh, yeah

...

Cinnamon's Wake, I just, I think it has too much Dean in it for me.

I understand that.

And I, and I also don't like Max Medina.

Trust and believe, I know.

It's kinda hot.

It's a sexy make-out that reminds me of when Max Medina and Lorelai Gilmore make out in the cl- coat closet at Chilton that one night.

Yeah.

Mm.

Ooh.

Do you think it's gonna be Christopher? Do you think it's gonna be Max? Do you think, uh, do you think Max is coming back? Ooh.

Do you think it's gonna be Luke, or do you think it's gonna be somebody that we haven't met yet?

So I-

But now, I don't, I don't think, I think Luke is unfortunately the end game for Lorelai, which is so stupid, but I don't think they're gonna do that yet.

I don't think they're gonna do that yet.

I don't think Max Medina's coming back, and so my answer is someone we've not met, or no one.

Right.

Ooh.

Do you think it's gonna be Christopher? Do you think it's gonna be Max? Do you think, uh, do you think Max is coming back? Hmm.

Do you think it's gonna be Luke, or do you think it's gonna be somebody that we haven't met yet?

So I-

I think Luke is unfortunately the end game for Lorelai, which is so stupid, but I don't think they're gonna do that yet.

I don't think they're gonna do that yet.

I don't think Max Medina's coming back, and so my answer is someone we've not met or no one.

Right.
