re: Breaking Bad S5E14 9/15 "Ozymandias"

Skylar has been a thorn in Walt's side since the beginning. Walt demise was going to be obvious. But Skylar's I'm innocent while holding the family together routine is pure bullshite. All while running behind Walt's back with Ted and not so innocently cooking his books. She finds out about the money Walt is making on his drug exploits and does and abrupt about face. She's a two faced tramp!

There is something to this. She has no problem using the money to get the IRS off of her back or help family members, but she does treat Walt like the plague because of the way he got the money. By no means is Walt innocent. He's a terrible person who has done terrible things, but like I said earlier, let's bring everyone's faults out into the open. There is no one innocent on this show except for Flynn and Holly. Everyone has done fricked up things that they shouldn't. Skylar is also indirectly at fault for Ted being paralyzed.

You can argue no one asked for any of this....except Walt.

He brought it on everyone....his actions.


Skylar is reacting to what Walt did to the family.

Jesse is reacting to Walt FORCING him to teach him how to cook.

I am in no way sayin walt is innocent. his transformation is complete. I'm just pointing out that Skylar is not what people wanna paint her out to be.

I'm not saying this isn't true. It is. Walt and Jesse did this. They are in this situation because of Walt, but that doesn't necessarily excuse their actions while in that situation. Hank, for example, was out for blood with Walt. I see his reasons why. I don't even necessarily disagree with them, but he was also basically willing to let Pinkman die just to get what he wanted. Also, like I said with Skylar, she pretty much put thugs on Ted so he didn't do anything stupid. Again, I don't even disagree. I probably would have done something similar, but it's not something that someone does who is on a moral high horse, which I find she often is/was.

This one I will disagree with. Jesse willingly put himself in this situation. After that Walt bullied him around, but Jesse was trying to become a drug dealer with Walt. What did he think might happen? Hank, Skylar, and most others were in this situation because of Walt. Jesse was not.

My problem with Skylar isn't that she opposes Walt. It's that she can't make up her mind, emotional and inconsistent in her logic.

One minute she is ordering hits on Pinkman, the other she is breaking down in her car wash office.

I just don't understand it.

---

1. She's confused...scared....doesnt know how to act. She loves her family and Walt and doesnt see a way to keep everything together.

2. Her hand is forced several times and afterwards doesnt like what she had to do.


I am not saying she isnt at fault at all...but to hate Skylar basically says you are misogynist. Go start the He-Man woman haters club.

You can't differentiate between some junky she doesn't give a frick about and her sister's husband?

You got to be kidding me Because she is emotionally weak and just as bad as Walt?

No but the line is the line. You don't hop over it one minute and retreat the next.

I never hated Skyar more than when she fricked Ted behind Walt's back and then told him out of spite.


I was like "YOU frickING BITCH! I HOPE YOU FALL INTO A VAT OF ACID!"

Of course, I was going through a divorce at the time.
