Skylers little breakdown went about 20 'shut up’s too long lol
I’m scared by the thought that Skyler will again be the most hated character in this show
SHUT UP!!!
[details=Spoiler]great episode. funny as fuck actually. i thought it was hilarious how they’re making meth in the family’s room and it pans over their portrait.
Looking forward to next week.[/details]
I don’t hate her I mean the way she’s acting is normal considering everything.
“Hey man, I’m trying to do business over here, bitch! Sorry, he’s, like, overly enthusiastic.”
The return of Badger and Skinny Pete was prophesied… and it is glorious.
Wow Skyler, just wow. This show is so fucked up (in a good way).
Watchin the current episode btw.
Fuck Skyler.
Skylar has every right to feel the way she currently does, as much of a bitch as she is she’s a more morally grounded and likeable character than Walt. I know that’s not what some idiots want to hear but it’s clear at this point as interesting and well developed as Walt’s character is he’s as sympathic as Tony Montana. If you think Skylar is just a bitch and that Walt is a badass you miss the entire point of the show.
that being said what Skylar said was cold blooded, even Walt didn’t deserve that damn what a fuckin cunt!
She’s “morally grounded” as long as she doesn’t somehow benefit, directly or indirectly, from being immoral.
That is what makes me hate her as a character.
“That’s what I get for being sexist”
lol. Mikes best line in the show.
Holy God. “Tense” is a weak ass word for that argument scene.
And yeah, Skyler isn’t an angel herself, but she knows Walt killed someone and can only guess what he’ll do to her or what net is going to close in on the family as a result of that or Walt’s business.
But man. Shit is getting real.
The conversation between Walt and Skylar tonight is one of the most fucked up things on the show and that’s saying a lot considering shit pops off every episode.
^And yet Walt goes back to acting like everything is normal the next day. Dude is in for a huge smack in the face and I can’t wait to see how we get to him with hair and needing to pack serious heat.
HRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN. That’s the sound my boner is making right now.
So at the end, tell me that was the sound of a gun being cocked. That’s what it sounded like to me. I wouldn’t put it passed Skylar to shoot him at this point and in her cool, bravado-protected, smoke-filled-air state it would make sense. She sat there like someone who already made a solid decision.
Oh, and now we know this takes place in two years instead of one. I forgot Walt turned 50 in the first season and in the opening scene of this season he was 52. I wonder what the hell happens in one year that has him on the run.
Bitch got OWNED!
but…
As much as I loved how Walt cornered her every move like a Chess player, in the end Skyler (as much as I hate to say it) is looking out for her family’s best interest moreso than Walt and made good points. Walt is just a glutton who only seeks power for power’s sake. He’s sowing the seeds of his own demise, and he can’t help himself.
The sad part is knowing Walt might make his coup attempt on Mike by the midseason finale, and if he doesn’t kill him, the second half is going to get muy caliente!
The person who directed this episode tonight also directed the Fly episode.
The opening tonight was so bad it was good.
the opening with the 2 cars kind of cemented the fact that WW is going to go down later in the series. Its kind of stupid because we know WW is smarter than this…and yet we see him make stupid mistakes like buying expensive cars
Fifty-One: random ramblings and crap.
[details=Spoiler]The car scene was great. It feels like it belongs in a different show, but in a deliberate way. I think the crew let their hair down for that sequence.
Re. Skyler, it was good to see the dam burst. The cowed, docile Skyler was wearing out her welcome. She managed to get a rise out of Walt, and that’s something, considering that he’s been a bit of a cypher for a while now. All the tense “tranquility” in the White household is finally starting to pay off. She’s obviously scared of Walt now that she knows he’s capable of killing people. I wonder how much it would blow her mind if she learned just how early on his first homicide was.
Hank and Marie being the only other members of the family we ever see is starting to become as much of a cliche as Walter Jr.'s association with breakfast–which, I might add, did not disappoint in this episode.
Speaking of Hank, does he really want this new job? The show didn’t go out of its way to demonstrate any inner conflict over it, in contrast to his issues following his foray into El Paso, which, to be honest, was one of the more clumsily-handled elements in this show’s history. Maybe Hank actually feels good about letting someone else take on the blue sky case, but if he does, he probably won’t stay that way. He’s Sherlock Holmes, always hungry for casework and wasting away when he has none. His eagle eyes spotted Lydia’s mismatched shoes and pegged her perfectly. Field work is his god-given talent. If he rides a desk, he’ll be right back to the cheese puffs and geodes.
What else?
Walt left the cook site early. Either he really trusts Jesse’s competence as an expert meth cook, or he’s so bothered by his domestic troubles that his legendary control over the quality of the work is starting to slip.
I think the watch was exactly what it was: ticking time. I don’t know where people are getting that it was a gun click, but Breaking Bad has yet to cram such a melodramatic twist into the final seconds of an episode and I don’t expect it to start. It’s like when people thought they saw Jesse’s gun waver at the end of season 3… but of course it didn’t. They don’t play that way.
I loved some of the moves in this ep. The way Skyler seemed detached and hovering in the background during Walt’s story, the way the pool lit her face in the reverse shot (again, separating her from everybody else), the Hitchcock-esque tilt down the rows of photographs on the Fring corkboard… it’s big, broad style, but it’s still style. It shames other shows about cops ‘n’ robbers.
Walt cuts his head shaving. A flaw in the big, shiny, bald Heisenberg armor.[/details]
jesse has proven he can cook without walt many times. i think walt left the cook early because he was eager to see what skylar had planned for his birthday. he was expecting a big party and was disappointed when all he got was hank and marie some chicken and the cake.
