re: Skylar White

Pointing out Walt’s faults or misdeeds doesn’t change what Skylar was. You’re just creating a victim scoreboard which is beside the point.

the point is that it explains why she is the way she is in the show that we get to view. Presumably, earlier in their lives they were perfectly happy together and we even get glimpses of it in a couple flashbacks. It's not like she's always been a mega bitch, just like he hasn't always been a meth dealer.

Once he got cancer, lied about it, refused free treatment, lied up adn down and sideways every day to her, then ultimately admitted that yes, he is manufacturing meth, all of thsoe are just more pieces to the puzzle of why she acts the way she does.

It's not a "victim scorecard" it is literally explaining the reason why she acts the way that she does.

Walt is a POS and really has no redeeming qualities.

yet we never get threads saying "is walter white the worst TV husband OF ALL TIME???" like we do wtih skyler. Why not? Beucase he's the main character and he's "cool" and we want to see him get away with it, while skyler simply gets in his way.
