Because there were times when she got off on the power even more than Walt...

...But she liked to think that she was ethically superior.


I don't even think it was ever about the drug money.

It was her loss of control...Walt was a giant pussy before Heisenberg.

She wasn't man of the house anymore and she resents his changed personality.

She loved passive Walt like a girl loves a dog.

She sleeps with Ted to gain some upper hand as sex is her rudimentary all she has for power play.

And at the end, she goes all moral just to win against Walt, refusing his money to hurt him emotionally.

This was not a partnership. This was a Fiefdom and Walt was her Serf. When things flipped, she showed her true colors and lack of love.

I wouldn't have been surprised if the writers wrote in the script that she had been poisoning Walt before he got sick.

Skylar had this I have to be in charge and a possible Munchausen syndrome by proxy...she treats Walt like child early on and seems to enjoy the spotlight of his illness.

Just finished my first viewing of the series last night. Overall, I liked that they had reasonably good closure to the series without leaving too much hanging.

I think the point of the show title and characters is that EVERYONE has their "breaking bad" moment(s) at some point in what we see of their lives. I would have liked to see Marie get her comeuppance, but as in life not everyone pays the price on the schedule we would like. The only fully sympathetic character is Holly.

And yet Walt is not hated. Only Skyler. Weird.

This is a rather strange melt you got going, especially considering this is a discussion about a fictional TV show. Relax

Your wife will resent you if your personality goes from nice guy wimp to POS murdering a-hole? Damn. Time for a new wife I guess.

Marie got kicked in her teeth. Not retribution related to her klepto issues, but she got shite on in a big way.

In fact, with Hank gone you might argue she's got no one left to save her from herself.

Walt is a horrible person who makes horrible decisions and does very bad things. Happy?
