The mention of Max’s death this week made me go back and watch the episode where he dies and reminded me that l kinda ship Robert & Max in that last ep.
It’s quite funny actually that if you watch the Robert and Max scenes without any context, especially early in the ep, they do kind of seem like young lovers running away from their families to be together. And Max totally seems jealous of Robert waiting for Debbie 👀
Also the idea that they had feelings for each other (acted on or otherwise) makes his death, and Robert’s choice to save Andy, so much more angsty!
Oh the storylines we could have had if they’d made Robert bi during the Karl era too...
Also, I can’t tell you how much I love the use of Scissor Sisters ‘Filthy/Gorgeous’ in those car scenes because omg if that’s not trash!rob’s theme tune Idk what it.
If anyone is interested the Robert scenes are at 1:34 / 6:33 / 10:36 / 12:25 / 14:00 / 15:26 / 16:36 / 18:24 / 19:37 / 20:45
