I. Fucked. Ted.

Its funny.. the reason why they wanted the character of Gus Fring to be so calm and collected and even calculating, was to be a stark contrast to how Tuco was portrayed. Giancarlo Esposito is a great actor and can play that quiet yet menacing persona so well. And to think Giancarlo started out doing Spike Lee movies back in the 80s. If you wanna see one of his better roles, you should check him out in Do The Right Thing from 1989. Great movie and you can see the kind of range he has.

Great reaction. I feel for Jesse. I don't think Walt telling Skyler sooner would have helped. I never understood the sheer hatred for Skyler by many BB fans (some misogyny going on?).

The polarized views of Skyler in Breaking Bad is one of the brilliant things about the show, whether it was intentional or not. Teegan actually summarized it well (about being in Skyler’s shoes). Despite how bad Walter is, he is the show's protagonist, so in an ironic way, we want him to win in the end. Skyler's character is not the protagonist in the story (nor is she an antagonist, side note), so her “bad” actions feel irredeemable, and therefore, making her the B**** of the show. I think it's not wrong to be on either side–it all depends on one's perspective and take on the characters (and yes, also their personal experiences and their view on women). The writing often blurs the lines between right and wrong, and good and bad, there’s a bit of mental manipulation happening too. The meth cooking and meth dealing montages often use upbeat music in an almost comedic fashion, and this subtly makes us feel more comfortable with the “bad” stuff Walter is involved in. Skylar “being bad,” is almost never, if ever (I don’t recall anyway), accompanied by upbeat, comical music. Sometimes there’s no music at all, now that I think about it. We’re left to feel uncomfortable in that silence. In this sense, the music supervision as sound design are great contributors to how we develop our views of the characters. This is something even us re-watchers can keep and eye and ear out for. Helluva a clever show.

Great stuff, thanks. Your eyes/expressions in the lead up to the ending were great lol, its like the side eye "what are you thinking?", the cover but not actually covering eyes when it happens, and then the deadpan "yep" when she tells walt.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting observations about the music and silence. I like that. The sheer hatred for Skylar makes no sense even with Walt being the protagonist. I think it misogyny more than anything, i.e., that Skyler as a woman doesn't know her place. While I am mindful of Walt's arc, I am generally pro-Walter. That has nothing to do with recognizing it ridiculous how harsh that Skyler is viewed by some for her reasonable actions. If it were the actions of a non-protagonist male, the mysogynist would be much more understanding, but the identical actions by a female (Skyler), she is a bitch.

Great show, Skyler is wrong for sleeping with Ted. cheating that she is wrong on. She does have the right to be mad about what Walt has been doing. Walt is not a good man and now neither is Skyler

I'm a big fan of the show Third Watch (NBC, 5 or 6 seasons, 99-04? 05?) and only recently has the 3rd season become available in any form (music disputes ffs). Giancarlo plays a priest in a S3 ep and it took me a moment to recognize him but he was brilliant even in that tiny role. I've seen DTRT too, but I don't recall his part, so I may just have to rewatch that one again soon.

He played Buggin Out.. the guy who complained there were no pictures "brothers" on the wall of the pizza place.

Skylar's sleeping with Ted was simple payback. Walt did whatever he wanted and everyone saw him as the good guy. Skylar turning Walt in would have devastated Walter Jr, ruined Hank's career, and she'd likely still be seen as the bad guy. She honestly had no power in the situation. Sleeping with Ted was essentially the only power move she had left. I've never understood the hate Skyler gets from fans. IMO Walter Jr.'s behavior was far worse than hers, and less justified.

Skyler getting some Ted bootayyyy! Go yirsel' lass. It does show that she tends to go for idiots though! Guess no one is perfect!
