‘Gilmore Girls’: In Defense of Max Medina

In season 1 of Gilmore Girls, Lorelai Gilmore insisted that she rarely dated. While that may have been true, she made an exception for Max Medina, Rory’s dreamy English teacher. Lorelai and Max’s relationship hit a few rough patches, but the duo was engaged by the end of season 1. They never actually wed, though. Max floated in and out of Lorelai’s life until season 3, when he disappeared for good. Max isn’t the most beloved of Lorelai’s suitors. Gilmore Girls fans have plenty of reasons to dislike Max Medina, but we think he was alright. We are here to defend Max Medina. 

Max Medina had some pretty negative traits, but it was mostly situational

In an episode of I Am All In, an iHeart Media podcast, Scott Patterson asserted that Max Medina was completely inappropriate for asking out the mother of one of his students. The actor, who spent seven seasons portraying Luke Danes, argued that Max crossed a boundary early on in his relationship with Lorelai and continued doing it during the duration of their romance.
