Oedipus Complex is a disambiguation


** No-one in "The Robots of Death" is a normal or even functional person. The Doctor and Leela are the sanest people in the setting, and that says a lot (it's Leela's first time off her miserable and religiously oppressive planet, and the Doctor's a MadHatter who likes to pick on her for fun). Uvanov bullies Zilda out of sexual attraction and a sense of working class bitterness, and Zilda covers up for her feelings of inadequacy about her poverty with upper-class snobbery and contempt. Poul is a bitter and emotionally-repressed spy who uses sarcasm to hide his feelings and eventually succumbs to a {{Phobia}} meltdown. Borg is a bullying {{Jerkass}} who sadistically picks on everyone around him for fun, up to and including making death threats, and insists he's done nothing wrong when called on it. Chub is so much of a privileged snob that his reaction to a robot trying to kill him is anger that it would dare touch him. Dask is a smug, tedious knowitall in love with the sound of his own voice and with a [[OedipusComplex really]], ''[[RobotWar really]]'' weird fondness for robots.

* ''Series/Yellowjackets'' is about a group of teens who were stranded in the wilderness and then forced to eat each other to survive, and their adult selves 20 years later who have not recovered from that trauma. Needless to say, even if they didn't have issues going in (nearly all of them did, for one reason or another), they have issues coming out.
