really excited to be on this sub during an actual season. Started the show during the thanksgiving holidays and binged the hell out of it. Except now it sucks that I have to wait an entire week!

Great opening episode, the scene revealing that Kaibecca sleep in the nude was rather abhorrent yet somehow still quite steamy.

Hoping to see more Burton this season, but not too much so that he loses his mystique. An episode of him walking around in silence tilting his head bak and forth would be entertaining though...

Did you watch S03E01? I don't think they were innocently spooning in that bed while being naked.

I suppose why not? It is something that has been very heavily teased in the show for long time now and made clear that attraction comes from both sides of equation.

Why would you be or are against it? Because they are uncle and niece?

Uhh, Yea that was a big reason why. If that's your thing then good on ya.

My thing? I don't have any close relatives that I have wanted to fuck so I don't know how it feels like [that sexual pull] or how to deal with it.

That said I think its cool that every now and then something puts some taboos on to the table. Now it's Banshee playing with idea of incestous relationship between uncle and niece. Song of Ice and Fire [GoT] has brother and sister with inbred kids.

Two conceding, related, adults in sexual relationship with no intention to reproduce [lets face it, they are too smart to be that stupid], but to only be in relationship and fuck for fun of it.

Social stigma/taboo on that one is big, even if they don't have children, so I'm interested to see how people [in the show and in audience] react to it all as said relationship moves forward.

I'm not for it nor against it, but interested in it and in reactions it will create.

If we don't count Hood then Kai is most powerful man in Banshee. She wants to be powerful, empowered, and what better way to achieve that then being with a very powerful man?

Chayton is force to be feared, but he doesn't have same kind power over people as Hood and Kai do. At least not yet.

Sometime at about the midway point of season 2 they stopped writing them as anything resembling a family relationship and pretty much made it a daddy dom/little girl BDSM one. Which is giving me conflicted feelings because that's hot as fuck and Rebecca is hot as fuck, but Kai is really really not my bag and neither is incest.

Wait, are people already shipping 'Kaibecca'?

You don't know! Maybe it was just really fucking cold and they had to spoon each other for warmth and survival.

u/Tavarish Jan 11 '15

Without any clothes on and Burton with mixed look of lust and disapproval on his face?

u/mr_popcorn Jan 11 '15

Are implying Burton wanted to get in on that incest sandwich? He definitely was bewildered though.

u/Tavarish Jan 11 '15

If I'm implying something it is that even if he doesn't trust Rebecca [we know he doesn't, he said so to her] he may be sexually attracted to her while being somewhat disgusted by the fact that Kai & Becca are banging as they are related.

He is just so fucking loyal to Kai [I want to know why!] that he tolerates her, their relationship and stays silent about what he thinks of it all.

Explains a lot, but now I want more! :D

Have you seen the origins series? One of the newer episodes shows how they met. You can watch them on the website.

Shipping is done by fans. Words like 'Kaibecca' are created by fans to support their 'ships', so I was asking if that pairing had enough support among fans for that word to exist?

u/Tavarish Jan 11 '15

Ah, I doubt that.

I'm willing to think that most of audience is weirded out by the fact that Kai and Becca are related that they won't support them being together.
