[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 365282, member: 2740"] there’s a scene in the first Jenna Wade episode where Jock meets jR and their longtime crony Maynard Anderson at the Cattleman’s Club to discuss a sticky political situation. Maynard’s wife had discovered his affair with Jenna and is threatening to sabotage his appointment to a powerful federal energy position (which would be advantageous for the Ewings) unless he leaves Jenna and cuts her off completely. Jock is pretty casual, even amused about the whole thing. “I heard Melissa caught you in the kip with Jenna Wade. She must really have you on a string. Well, in my day we treated our women a little different.” (something like that, anyway) I suppose a very charitable interpretation would be that back in his day they were faithful, but this was years before Jock became a saintly civil rights crusader and single-handed Holocaust near-preventer after his death. It sure sounded like “in my day our wives had to stay in line and ignore or accept our infidelities or else.” You can see JR squirm uncomfortably, realizing this is his beloved Mama that Jock’s talking about.
