i totally get your post about gillian, even though my opinion is completely opposite. just wanted to add that in the director’s commentary, the director says that jimmy wanted gillian just as badly as gillian wanted jimmy. nobody was forced into anything. and criticizing her…

Great comment.

Who cares if it’s wrong or right. Since when did we watch HBO shows cus they were morally right?!

It had to happen, it’s been alluded to since the start. I applaud the makers for putting it in, but also that whole blurry thing - the viewer can choose to believe what actually happened. If you choose to believe they had sex, that’s on you bro.

Well first of all I think it’s pretty clear that they did have sex - I don’t think that Jimmy would have had such an emotional reaction (i.e. he dropped out of college, cut off all contact with his mother, and joined the army because he no longer cared if he lived or died) if something pretty significant hadn’t happened between him.

I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with the show or the development of the characters because this happen - I agree that this has been implied since the start. My issue is people who continue to loyally argue that Gillian was not in the wrong. This is not a moral gray area. Regardless of the traumas that happened in Gillian’s past, she was wrong to do this to Jimmy. While it is certainly understandable that she has a fucked up view on relationships and men and life in general, what she did isn’t justifiable.
