It's the one show nobody on this board complains about. That should be an indication it's a notch above the rest.

There was one dick whistle who used to complain about the show, but we ran him off.

This. I hope Anna Gunn wins an Emmy. She deserves it.

Here's a question I am considering, with all the talk of who can rat out who to the DEA if it comes down to it:
What evidence does Skyler have on Walt that he is a meth cook?
There's some money for sure, but what other illegal activities did she witness or what physical evidence can she point to?
I think part of the reason she won't turn Walt in is that she doesn't have the goods to protect herself from prosecution and she knows it.

Meh, I'm not so sure it's her acting. I think it's just her decisions and wish-washy behavior
When she broke down to Marie and screamed shut up! I actually thought that felt kind of forced.
To each their own though. I don't think she's bad just not near some of the others on the show
Edit: and she still came across as annoying to me even when she was doing what has needed to be done since season one, telling Marie to shut the frick up. Both characters are annoying to me

Right here. Could potentially top The Wire in my mind.
I have these thoughts myself. As far as traditional TV goes, BB is the all time greatest without a doubt. I never thought the Sopranos would be surpassed, but it just has.
The things that set The Wire apart are its importance as a message about our country. It changes the way one looks at the American city. It is also basically like a documentary in style and realism (season 5 notwithstanding). I therefore cant really consider it against traditional TV entertainment shows. It is above the discussion. Should be considered with literature rather than TV shows really.

If she wants protection as an informant, I would think that she needs to give the feds something to lessen her own punishment.

She could give up Goodman in addition to Walt.

Isn't their spousal priveledge? I don't think she can testify against him. Plus she is directly involved now in the money laundering. It was all her idea.

My understanding is that she can't be forced to testify, but can choose to. Am I mistaken?

She needs to go see a criminal defense attorney who can advise her on how to proceed. I'm sure she'd get off rather light considering she ratted out a murdering meth maker. Spousal privilege means the spouse cannot be forced to testify against the other spouse. They're more than welcome to do this willingly.

Walt may just say in response to any accusations that he told Skylar he was cooking meth so she wouldn't know he was gambling again
Then he used current events such as the bombing in the nursing home to embellish his story.

I'm actually a big enough geek to look this up, per wikipedia..
"The spousal communications privilege or confidences privilege is a form of privileged communication which protects the contents of confidential communications between spouses during their marriage from testimonial disclosure. The privilege applies in civil and criminal cases.
Both the witness-spouse and the party-spouse hold the spousal communications privilege, so either may invoke it to prevent the other from testifying about a confidential communication made during marriage"

I'm sure it changes from state to state or whether it'd be a federal trial..

I would not be surprised at all, if Walt has been compiling evidence against her jsut in case she decides to turn.
She decides to turn and try to say she had minimal involvement, and BOOM Walt hits them with tons of evidence documenting her willingness to help and everything she did (involvement with getting Ted paralyzed, involvement with getting Bogdod "in trouble" with the environmental agency, involvement with getting Ted to skirt past the IRS, helping with the car wash money laundering). She is far from an innocent bystander.

I agree with you. I guess I should've said BB could top the Wire purely from an entertainment standpoint in my mind. I totally agree with you though that The Wire changed the way I look at things.

He flat out told her in Season 3 or the beginning of season 4. Remember the scene when she's railing on his arse about lieing to her, the 2nd cell phone, not telling his mother about the Cancer (which is a terribly bad dick move that no-one points to in the evil that is Walter White)
She's thinking that he's selling coke, he goes, "no methamphetamine. I'm strictly a manufacturer; I don't sell"
Of course that conversation wouldn't hold up in court. She's not gonna roll on Walt, surely not now. He's the danger, he does the knocking. She didn't sign the divorce papers so she couldn't be forced to testify against him if it ever came to that.
btw, shouldn't Walt have a couple slampieces by now. Forget Skylar, go get some young trim.

I can't see her rolling on him either. Too much is at stake. I'd say there's a greater chance she picks up and leaves with Holly in the middle of the night when Walt's out. I only say Holly because of Walt Jr.'s unwavering loyalty to his father and I think the odds that she'd get him to leave are a toss-up.
IF she does pick up and run, the question is does it come in response to a tip that the DEA is closing in on Walt, or does her leaving get Hank and the DEA to take a closer look at Walt? Of course I'm assuming the DEA finds out about Walt, but if they don't I think I'd be disappointed. There's so much potential there.

Any foreshadowing or symbolism regarding the Walt Whitman book Walt unpacked and put on his nightstand?
Just curious what y'all think

Shows how Walt knew about that quote in Gale's lab notebook so quick.
