I was really bewildered at that part, because I had always just assumed that incest was a fact of their relationship. Like, from the beginning of Feed, I just figured: "okay, they're like a t.v. family with borderline abusive parents in a world where interpersonal relationships are really, really complicated and trust issues are a completely legitimate life choice. They're probably sexual partners too." And then I moved on with my life. Then, halfway through Deadline, this comes up and I'm like: "Oh. Was this a thing? Was I not supposed to just assume this was happening and move on?" It was really puzzling ( ... )

I thought the whole drama about that smexy shit was that he KNEW Becks liked him and that it would take a toll on her emotionally if he did her and then fall asleep with another woman's name on his lips but he did it anyway. Not specifically because he has this gross non-incest thing going on and he's fucking crazy. Which is why I'm just like, "ok are we going to go there because if we are we could be a little less subtle about it." Though at this point if he's saying George's name after sex that would be a rather blaring red light ( ... )

Did he know that Becks was into him? Because I thought he was using the "I had no idea" excuse afterwards. Or maybe that was just a playing-dumb thing ( ... )

Well no Shaun had no idea. And I believe him. He wouldn't be playing dumb in his narrative too if he really knew. That'd be just a whole other level of crazy beyond just "voices in my head" and "uncontrollably angry and angsty." But everyone else figured he did because they were giving him too much credit in the "social skills" department ( ... )
