Actually, the real **** will be AMC if they cut the number of episodes.
What the fuck has Skylar ever done that was "selfish and awful?" Her husband has been making bad decision after bad decision, repeatedly lied to her, is a murderer and is deeply entwined in a criminal conspiracy.

If anything, Skylar is fucking stupid for not filing the divorce papers Walt signed in season 3 and not going to the DEA.

I thought maybe it was the IRS outside the White house after Skhiler was talking about the $325 bottle of wine. Seems like the perfect time for the IRS to take notice.
Ugh. It's Champagne, not wine.

An argument could be made that she's the one who drove him to that. A point driven home when she started seeing dollar-signs in her eyes.

That would just make her into more of a ****.

I would love to hear your reasoning on that.

That would just make her into more of a ****.
If she had done that, she would have been protecting her children, her home, and her assets.

It really couldn't. Walt made every bad decision by himself.
Unless you mean it's all her fault since Walt only 'broke bad' for her (and the kids) sake. But that can't be it 'cause that would not only be extremely misogynistic but also completely retarded.

I think you guys need to brush up on your understanding of the word "misogyny". Hatred of a woman (singular) does not equate to a hatred of all women (plural).

Calling Skyline a **** for not standing by her man, but then dong a 180 when she sees the money isn't misogynistic, it's calling a **** a ****.

And I'm not saying Walt is blameless in this; he has been a dick - so I suppose they deserve each other...

Exactly, slop. Walt has been a bad guy, and asking who's worse, him or, say, Tony Soprano, doesn't mean I hate men. (Not that I like men, er, but you get my meaning...)

That aside, re the video camera, I would think he would hate it most of all for the reason mentioned above, that there is now daily video proof of exactly what Walt is doing. Can't imagine any criminal going for that...

Damn, I guess we're not all going to get treated to your brilliant reading of the show where Skylar drove Walt to become a lying, murdering drug dealer.

AOL must really hate women:

But, to be fair, Parade doesn't really like men:

Did you miss the part earlier in the series where he, rightfully so, blames her for his lot in life? Like I said, it's not 100% her, but she's certainly somewhat complicit.

Maybe you just don't see it because you identify so much with Skylodge's character. I'm glad you're not my wife.

"I.F.T."
She committed adultery and unleashed that tidbit on him right before dinner with the family and all because she busted him for lying about having a second cell phone. Buick Skylark is an awful human being, but so is Walt.

It's just annoying with all the **** talk.
Why is no one calling Walt a fucking asshole every week? That's what he is.
Or Jesse a stupid loser dickhead? That's what he is.

Well, I'm not defending the Skylar character, but you do have to wonder a little why no one has similar sentiments regarding Hank this season, who has been a downright dick to his wife. Instead I've seen Marie referred to as a crazy bitch, despite being a saint in the face of his verbal abuse.

Not that I'm really accusing anyone of misogyny. I think in a predominantly male forum such as this one it's to be expected that people would relate to the males in these relationships and derive more of an emotional response when the women act like bitches, rather than the men acting like dicks.

But you probably shouldn't listen to me anyway.

FWIW, Hank's been a massive prick! Sure, he got all fucked up, but I don't know why he's being such a dick to his wife.

And true, almost everyone on this show is some sort of jerk or another, but they're not nearly as arrogant as Skyzilla is, which is mostly what makes a such a twat. Walt and Jesse know and understand that they've fucked up, while Skeilure still thinks she's above it all.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Open House" -- 7/31/11

Before the affair, what did Skyler really do wrong? I know Walt blamed her for things, but I don't recall anything particularly egregious. And even her affair was a response to Walt lying to and deceiving her and being distant from his family. Not that it excuses it, but it isn't like Walt was the perfect husband and she just ran off and had an affair.

And no matter how crazy Marie might be, she doesn't deserve the treatment she's received from Hank. He's been a real asshole, something I think several people have mentioned each week.

Hank's definitely been an asshole, but he's always been an asshole. He's never really treated Marie like an equal, and now that he's been incapacitated he's lashing out.

In what season(s) was Marie previously dealing with her kleptomania ? I didn't see the first two seasons, but I think I saw every episode of season three.
