shareI was wondering about that....I mean, Jesus. that's some effed up sh*t.
It took me two episodes to figure out she was Jimmy's mom.
The show constantly intimates that their relationship is/was something slightly deviant from the norm. Definite Oedipal vibe going on. May have something to do with the fact that they are barely over a decade apart in age. Based on the scene in which she described how Jimmy was conceived (adding rape to the Commodore's already egregious crime of bedding a 13 year old) It is conceivable that her son is the only male figure she has ever been able to love or trust. It is creepy at times, sure, but I don't think the show will venture into full-blown incest territory like Rome did and Game of Thrones is doing.
share IDK, Eli keeps making statements along their whole family being 'unnatural' or just strange or whatever.. It seems they keep leaning that way. Angela also seems to keep getting that "vibe", whenever they kiss or sit and share secrets together. Then again, Ange may just be a control freak, jealous of ANY female figure in her mans life, although IMO she seems to be more mature than Jimmy AND Gillian together.
But I have to agree 100% that there is at least an Oedipal 'thing' happening. We'll see where it goes, I guess.
Peace.
I don't mind.As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine.
The show constantly reinforces the Oedipal thing between them. Although it is odd, it is an integral part of both their characters.
A true beauty

Yes, bongjuan, (BTW, cool screen name!) their queer relationship has been questionably "Taboo" since the intro of Gillian, once we found out she was his Mother, and not the other woman.
I'm no expert on psychological and/or sexual disorders, and had looked up Oedipal a while back, finding it to be the closest explanation in describing this Mother/Son freaky thang they seem to have going. She proudly blurted out the whole "kissing of the winky" wOw-er, and from what I've read on the subject of Oedipal, that certain description seems to imply it's more of the Son's issue (or attraction) than the Mother's. So, I guess what I'm asking, is.. Would this sub-plot be better described as Incest? I mean, depending on if it ever comes to light that they have, or will have consensual sexual contact.
I also wonder how many people would honestly admit that they are rooting for the Mother/Son hook-up to happen,(or to have already happened) simply because a lot of people get off on The Taboo, not because they're into it themselves, but because most people really are voyeurs deep down. I admit I find it sort of repulsively tantalizing, but would never, ever be able to view Jimmy's character the same again. Unless, of course, it's revealed that it happened to Jimmy while he was an innocent. Gillian's already a sexual deviant, IMO, so if she mo'd her son, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
