Breaking Bad

[Alderaan]

I remember some interview with her a while back where she was surprised a lot of fans of the show didn't like Skyler. Maybe they're using that as momentum to bring the character to another level.

[Demetrius*]

If Walt is gonna get back into drugs again then his family is going to have to be out of the picture. That either means a divorce/restraining order, or maybe Tuco's cousins will be paying the house a visit when walt isn't home only to find skyler ;x

Absolutely. She's betraying her morals too in order regain the power of her relationship. She brought up in season 2 that she was uncomfortable with the idea, but now she's embracing it as a power play.

except when she found out her boss was embezzling, she was on good terms with Walt. To accept her bosses crimes but not Walts kinda shows some things about her relationships with both men. For her boss, she let him explain his side of the story, didn't even yell at him, and continued to work for him. In Walt's case, she ended both her relationship and her children's relationships, didn't give him a chance to explain, and kicked him out of his home. Keep in mind, at this point she thinks he's a pot dealer. I know everyone has different morals, but I generally think an owner of a company embezzling is worse than your average pot dealer. Her boss could be stealing money directly from skyler, and if things go sour, the whole company could tank. If Walt was the pot dealer skyler thought he was, Walt wasn't really stealing anything from anyone, and he was just trying to provide for his family, which they can't do once he's gone.

Ted was pretty transparent with her though which Walt was not. Walt put her through hell with the sneaking around. Not to mention that Walt was cooking to provide for his family and pay for his treatment which could have been provided fully by Gretchen and Elliott. You also have Hank who a DEA agent which clearly affects her train of thought (like when she busted him smoking pot). Maybe if Hank were a Securities and Exchange Agent it would affect it differently.

To me it's clear that she justified the embezzlement, reluctantly, for a few reasons. One, Ted justified his actions by explaining that the families working for him needed it. Two, she was already beyond suspicious of Walt by that point and wanted some independence from him. The job with Ted gave that to her. Three, there's clearly some past attraction to Ted, but Ted wasn't her husband. She would have to hold Walt up to a higher standard because she has to live with him. That also leads back to independence. Maybe her attraction to Ted was a good back up plan in case Walt dropped dead.

Ultimately, she used Ted as a tool in hurting Walt, like Walt hurt her. The fact that Walt is a meth dealer is bad, but she feels betrayed by the way he handled the situation more than the illegal activity. Everything she went through manages to make her less sympathetic because she has no clemency for her husband.

Walt will definitely continue to cook. Look at him in season 2. He loves cooking meth. He loves the rush, he loves the power, he loves that he cooks the finest meth there is. Like he said in the very first episode. He's finally awake.

8 hours! tonight's is called Green Light, so hoping a ton of shit will go down (or at least start too, like this is where it launches off now that some of the setup is out of the way)

[Alderaan]

Oh man Gus is playing Walt and Jesse to get Walt back.

[Trichocyst]

This season is slow burning to a climax and I can't wait to see what will happen next. They couldn't foreshadow things any harder at the end of this one.

[Roranora]

The worst feeling is right after the newest episode when you come to realization you're going to have to experience the agony of an entire week before getting the next taste.. :l

No other show makes that week-long wait this painful.

[Alderaan]

Dunno why but i was expecting that cereal bowl, in the last 8 min, to go through a wall.

I was totally waiting for that moment too ;p

Bryan Cranston was on the Daily Show last night and was amazing. Thanks for the new avatar, Heisenberg.

That interview was great, Cranston is hilarious.

[Trichocyst]

Anybody else get a very subverted Willy Wonka feeling when Gus showed Walt the lab? Oh and Skyler gets less and less likable all the time. I love how they completely flipped the script this episode by giving her everything she wanted only as she started to settle into the idea of being the wife of a drug kingpin. This episode was pure dynamite.

[Alderaan]

Walt was like a kid on Christmas morning when he saw the lab.

[ZarakiKujata]

Could say his life was a meth before he found that lab.


Also now that all the chess pieces are in place, next week looks fucking sick.

[Demetrius*]

I'm interested to see where this is gonna go with Jesse. The whole skyler thing has pretty much been resolved, divorce or not he's made up his mind to cook.
Jesse might very well end up being caught by Hank, who could end up giving up Walt.

[Sylvrdragon]

My predictions:

Jesse and Saul are going to prison. One or both of them are going to roll on Walt, but Hank isn't going to tell anyone until he has a chance to talk to Walt personally. Hank is going to follow Walt to his lab and Gus is going to notice. Gus knows that they can link the building to him, so he is going to call in Tuco's cousins informing them that their prey is about to be taken out of reach. They're going to ambush Hank at some point (either at the Lab or while he's personally bringing Walt in). Hank and the cousins are going to kill each other. Perhaps Walt will even kill one of the cousins as they are attacking Hank.

[Vacht]

I wonder if JEsse will be caught and deter the cops away from walter, making hank look bad thinking he got the right guy. Maybe they test jesse and find out he doesnt have the know how to make such a mixture and try to pinpoint where to go from that conclusion?

[Kibble]

Oh my goodness...
