no no i know, i meant the page on imgur you were talking about

[Ramsay]

Haha aw right but yeah, here's a huge theory people have been floating around..might turn out to be a spoiler though :

Spoiler:

i've been reading and people have been saying that they've noticed Walt take some of the traits of people that he's killed..after he killed Krazy 8 in the first season he started cutting off the crusts on his sandwiches..after he kills Gus, he got sick in this episode and put the towel under under his knees. plus when lydia was talking to him in the carwash place, it was very very much like back in the older seasons when he'd go to meet gus at that chicken place. after he killed mike he started drinking like mike : on the rocks. so people are assuming he must kill skyler because he does that bacon thing for his birthday..another thing someone pointed out

eeek, i hope not

[LemonJam]

I should not find this as funny as I do.

LOS ANGELES — PLAYING Skyler White on the television show “Breaking Bad” for the past five seasons has been one of the most rewarding creative journeys I’ve embarked on as an actor. But the role has also taken me on another kind of journey — one I never would have imagined.

My character, to judge from the popularity of Web sites and Facebook pages devoted to hating her, has become a flash point for many people’s feelings about strong, nonsubmissive, ill-treated women. As the hatred of Skyler blurred into loathing for me as a person, I saw glimpses of an anger that, at first, simply bewildered me.

For those unfamiliar with the show: Skyler is the wife of Walter White, a high-school chemistry teacher who, after learning he has lung cancer, begins cooking and selling methamphetamine to leave a nest egg for Skyler, their teenage son and their unborn daughter. After his prognosis improves, however, Walter continues in the drug trade — with considerable success — descending deeper and deeper into a life of crime.

When Skyler discovers what Walter has been up to, she tries to stop him, to no avail. She is outraged by the violence and destruction of the drug world, fearful for her children’s safety, disgusted by the money Walter brings in and undone by the lies and manipulation to which he subjects her.

Because Walter is the show’s protagonist, there is a natural tendency to empathize with and root for him, despite his moral failings. (That viewers can identify with this antihero is also a testament to how deftly his character is written and acted.) As the one character who consistently opposes Walter and calls him on his lies, Skyler is, in a sense, his antagonist. So from the beginning, I was aware that she might not be the show’s most popular character.

But I was unprepared for the vitriolic response she inspired. Thousands of people have “liked” the Facebook page “I Hate Skyler White.” Tens of thousands have “liked” a similar Facebook page with a name that cannot be printed here. When people started telling me about the “hate boards” for Skyler on the Web site for AMC, the network that broadcasts the show, I knew it was probably best not to look, but I wanted to understand what was happening.

A typical online post complained that Skyler was a “shrieking, hypocritical harpy” and didn’t “deserve the great life she has.”

“I have never hated a TV-show character as much as I hate her,” one poster wrote. The consensus among the haters was clear: Skyler was a ball-and-chain, a drag, a shrew, an “annoying bitch wife.”

I enjoy taking on complex, difficult characters and have always striven to capture the truth of those people, whether or not it’s popular. Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” wanted Skyler to be a woman with a backbone of steel who would stand up to whatever came her way, who wouldn’t just collapse in the corner or wring her hands in despair. He and the show’s writers made Skyler multilayered and, in her own way, morally compromised. But at the end of the day, she hasn’t been judged by the same set of standards as Walter.

As an actress, I realize that viewers are entitled to have whatever feelings they want about the characters they watch. But as a human being, I’m concerned that so many people react to Skyler with such venom. Could it be that they can’t stand a woman who won’t suffer silently or “stand by her man”? That they despise her because she won’t back down or give up? Or because she is, in fact, Walter’s equal?

It’s notable that viewers have expressed similar feelings about other complex TV wives — Carmela Soprano of “The Sopranos,” Betty Draper of “Mad Men.” Male characters don’t seem to inspire this kind of public venting and vitriol.

At some point on the message boards, the character of Skyler seemed to drop out of the conversation, and people transferred their negative feelings directly to me. The already harsh online comments became outright personal attacks. One such post read: “Could somebody tell me where I can find Anna Gunn so I can kill her?” Besides being frightened (and taking steps to ensure my safety), I was also astonished: how had disliking a character spiraled into homicidal rage at the actress playing her?

But I finally realized that most people’s hatred of Skyler had little to do with me and a lot to do with their own perception of women and wives. Because Skyler didn’t conform to a comfortable ideal of the archetypical female, she had become a kind of Rorschach test for society, a measure of our attitudes toward gender.

I can’t say that I have enjoyed being the center of the storm of Skyler hate. But in the end, I’m glad that this discussion has happened, that it has taken place in public and that it has illuminated some of the dark and murky corners that we often ignore or pretend aren’t still there in our everyday lives.

ridiculous that the character is getting hate, let alone the actress. Too many testosterone-riddled pricks whining that a woman is getting in the way of Walt's path of destruction. It seems so obvious that if a normal mother of two suddenly found out her husband was a drug dealer and murderer, she'd pretty obviously freak the **** out and want him away from the kids.

I love Skylar..

Anna plays a brilliant part. I read that article when it came out and was quite astonished that Anna gets hate from 'fans'.

[ps James, your avvy is delicious]

[Niamh.]

I really don't like Skylar but I like her more than horrible Walt, I don't get the whole giving grief to the actors though, I mean they're not their characters, people are ****ing idiots sometimes

Last episode though

Spoiler:

Jesse going mental He's finally snapped, I hope he kills Walt A part of me was kind of hoping he'd head to Alaska though and live happily ever after Salmon fishing in the wilderness

Just finished season 3.

The first 2 seasons were both fantastic, but Season 3 is one of the greatest seasons of any show I've ever watched. Just spectacularly good, especially due to Saul and Gus

[Locke.]

I have caught up just in time for the final 4 episodes.

Mike was my favourite character, Walt will never be forgiven for what he done and if Jesse doesn't kill him then Hank better lock him up. Pretty sure Skylar is going to die too, in that flashforward at the beginning of Season 4 (I think) it showed Walt doing that silly thing Skylar always does with his bacon on his birthday. Would be fine with her dying too because she is very annoying, especially now that she is fine with everything Walt has done.. at least when she was against it it provided a lot of funny scenes.

I think that scene with Hank and Tuco's cousins in the car park is probably my favourite.. that was one of the most tense scenes i've ever seen.

Oh, and if you haven't already, everyone should read this - http://www.quora.com/Breaking-Bad-TV...n-Breaking-Bad and connect it with seeing that same bloody bear in a tree behind Jesse in the latest episode

[Drew.]

Spoiler:

i predict Walt Jr will kill Walt

[Samuel.]

Spoiler:

The cancer will kill Walt. Don't say it doesn't make sense. It'll come full circle; first episode he's diagnosed, last episode he's killed by it. We witness the journey of the cancer on Walt. Out of all the murder attempts and life threatening positions he's been in over the years, it's only the disease that can truly take him down.

Walt, Saul and Todd are the only likeable characters right now for me.

Hank's driven crazy by his obsession to take down Walt, and Jesse's an erratic idiot. Walt's the most sane person in all of this.

[Samuel.]

Amazing amazing episode. Holy ****.

[Samuel.]

Spoiler:

Hank dying tho. It's certain.

He got his moment sticking the cuffs on Walt. Got his final phone call to Marie. Dude is dead.

[Ramsay]

Spoiler:

what a time to end the episode holy ****..saw jesse reaching for the door..cert he legged it

[Samuel.]

Spoiler:

powerful

[Visage]

I'm too stressed to comment.

[Locke.]

**** sake they trolled good putting those end credits there.

Spoiler:

Hank and Gomez are definitely looking like like it's over for them, but fingers crossed Jessie is going to pull something off instead of just running away
