08.13.12 | EDIT: POSSIBLE SPOILERS, SO BE CAREFUL
Regardless of her merits later on (only on season 3) she drives me up the wall. |
Insurrection
08.13.12 | marie is worse |
kris.
08.13.12 | marie is worse but marie isn't skyler and skyler is a special kind of cunt |
Acanthus
08.13.12 | Atm her character was more annoying at first, but that soon passed. I can deal with someone always
being a bit out of their mind (Skyler flipflops, and I've had personal experience with that), I don't
enjoy having to watch Skyler treat the marriage as one dimensional. |
liledman
08.13.12 | I hope she dies. |
kris.
08.13.12 | i really hope walt ends up killing her or she kills herself that'd probably the first wise choice she's made the entire show |
SgtPepper
08.13.12 | I cant believe she cheated on Walter with Beneke to get back at him- that was the moment that I first started hating her. I mean I
get that Walter is a drug manufacturer and he even resorted to a murder a few times, but all of that was for her and their
children. |
Acanthus
08.13.12 | I'm just waiting to see how they flesh out this story arc they've created, I don't know where it is most likely to end up atm.
|
SgtPepper
08.13.12 | Actually UhhKris that may happen.
Right now, Walt's primary antagonist is Skyler (Aside from Hank who he has chosen to ignore.) And in the last episode they kept talking about killing Lydia and how she "deserves to die more than any man". They keep referring to her as a problem to deal with because she's "unstable".
- I think this kind of a hint as to what Walter "needs" to do with Skyler. |
Maniac!
08.13.12 | I'm waiting for her to kill herself or give Walt a reason to put her in an asylum |
Acanthus
08.13.12 | Would people still stand behind Walt if he did?
Edit: I like Maniac's idea. |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | I'd fuck Marie |
SgtPepper
08.13.12 | The creator of the show has often said how he has been making Walter less and less sympathetic as the series progresses. I doubt that Walter would actually do that, but then again he did poison a little boy to get "his way". And let's face it, Walter has been dead since "Crawl Space" so its all Heisenberg now.
My guess is that he's going to use the ricin to kill Skyler. |
kris.
08.13.12 | "Walt has always done everything for pride and self-preservation. "Family" is a lie he tells himself"
false
the only reason he started cooking in the first place was to provide for his family because he believed he was going to die
that in turn led him to become selfish once he realized he was going to live and saw how much money he was making
he started out with good intentions
skyler on the other hand, completely dismisses the idea of him trying to provide for his family and shit, and kicks him out of his own home, along with trying to force him to cut ties with his children
that's pretty fucking drastic and a cunt move and she's a cunt and i hate her
to be honest the only person i'm really rooting for anymore is jesse |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | Yeah Walt has evolved into a straight up villain and Jesse has evolved into a tragic hero
I love looking back at old episodes and how Jesse dressed like a little kid and had a goofy haircut and know he's a man and shit |
PistolPete
08.13.12 | Marie was more annoying before but now they've decided to use her "woman-ness" more jokingly so she's kinda funny now. Skylar on the other hand... |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | Well most us guys can't relate to lady problems so |
kris.
08.13.12 | i mean yea skyler has good intentions and i don't fault her at all for thinking the way she thinks, but holy shit the way she acts on those intentions is so fuuuucking dumb it blows my mind sometimes |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | She smoked while pregnant
Enough said
Walt has killed people and shit but come on |
Acanthus
08.13.12 | @plane - I don't mind that she impedes Walt's progress/plans, that's only to be expected.
I mind how she behaves/reacts to things that really could be thought through quite simply and quickly.
|
wacknizzle
08.13.12 | Yeah I just wish Skylar would be cool to Walt again but I doubt that's gonna happen. I heard a main character is gonna die this season. I hope to god it's Skylar and not Walt Jr., he's the fuckin man, I don't want him to die! |
HenchmanOfSanta
08.13.12 | Sympathizing for Walt and calling Skyler a cunt is missing the point of the show so hilariously badly it hurts.
Marie on the other hand is just awful. Skyler telling her to shut up was amazing. |
kris.
08.13.12 | nobody's sympathizing for walt anymore
yea maybe in the first like two seasons but the dude is like the biggest bad guy ever and you're really dumb for saying that |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | Damn why would you want Skylar to be cool with Walt that would be boring as fuck
Plus damn if you were in her position could you be cool with being married to a mass murdering manipulating drug dealer damn I couldn't |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | yeah pride is gay is the moral of the show I think |
kris.
08.13.12 | "The fact that it was meth, that he was making it at all, was certainly a source of pride. To be somebody. Somebody, you know, who kills others and upends whole underground corporations for reasons validated on self-preservation and aggrandizing."
because he was definitely thinking of doing all these things when he started
he started cooking because he was going to die, his family wouldn't be well-off after he died, he was a chem teacher, and he knew how to cook meth because of that
there was absolutely no pride in that decision |
liledman
08.13.12 | planewreck it's not about being sexist, basically everybody in the show has negative qualities. It's the fact that she is overwhelmingly emotional compared to some of the others that make her actions frustrating. Her character is actually great, and I think the show definitely needed her, but it does not mean you can't dislike the character.
Walt is probably the biggest cunt in the show, but he's an interesting cunt. Sklyer is just an annoying cunt. |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | He didn't initially think to cook meth, he saw the opportunity right in front of him when he saw Jesse was a dealer and he connected the dots and shit |
SgtPepper
08.13.12 | That is one of the themes of the show, and inevitably what will be the demise of Walter White.
Walter's immense ego has been manipulating him throughout the show, he tries to be a a good man, but the life that he has chosen ruins any chance of that. And since finally snapping in the last scene of "Crawl Space", Walter's ego has completely taken over and goes by the name of "Heisenberg". Oh, but it is chilling to see this new ruthless villain finally taking form. Honestly, this show is getting better and better. I cant wait to see how it ends, but i know its gonna be messy as fuck. |
kris.
08.13.12 | what treb said |
Acanthus
08.13.12 | @Trebor - what he did initially, up until Season 3, had relatively no impact on her life. Bills were paid, her children were provided for, and both of them were relatively happy. Her subsequent taking the high road morally, while flirting/having an affair with her boss at the same time, negates whatever moral ground she was standing on for me.
Had she kept quiet, taken the mysterious money for what it was, and not become indignant over a lifestyle she doesn't have anyway to understand, I would have liked her a lot more.

liledman
08.13.12 | "there was absolutely no pride in that decision"
Ego was a lot of it though, he never made full use of his talents. |
KILL11
08.13.12 | i wana pork her fat ass |
wacknizzle
08.13.12 | Walt and everyone else around him would be better off if he died obviously. But he wanted his family to be financially sound after he went. At this point he just doesn't want to stop. I can't wait to see how shit goes down at the end. Hank is definitely about to find out about Walt. And yeah there is really no reason for Skylar to give a shit about Walt again, he is the danger, and her new lover Beneki is dead. All she has left to care about is her children and she wants them away from Walt because she knows they are not truely safe. |
iarescientists
08.13.12 | errbody ITT besides Lewis is a fucking moron |
kris.
08.13.12 | "her new lover Beneki is dead"
ummmmmmmmmmmmm |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | Beneki isn't dead
do you even watch the show |

08.13.12 | iarescienists you just owned yourself hahah!" cos u are in de thread XD lolLOL!"2 |
HenchmanOfSanta
08.13.12 | "nobody's sympathizing for walt anymore
yea maybe in the first like two seasons but the dude is like the biggest bad guy ever and you're really dumb for saying that"
You're calling someone a cunt for trying to keep her children away from a murderous sociopath and justifying Walt's behavior for originally having good intentions. IT IS YOU WHO IS DUMB HERE |
Acanthus
08.13.12 | planewreck - I'd rather wait and see if my opinion changes on its own as I make my way through the show, thanks though sir. |

Acanthus
08.13.12 | Or we just, you know, don't like her regardless of her role.
On another note, Saul is by far one of my favorite parts of the series. |
Insurrection
08.13.12 | when skyler said 'ill be any partner you want me to be' that was pretty sexy |
KILL11
