She did such a good job on the whole show. It was such masterful writing and acting to have the audience hate her character, when she was the one that made the most sense.

[@shubhangbhargava682]

Exactly

[@ImMagnetz]

Yeah, honestly I never really hated Skyler, I could completely understand how she felt, to feel completely frustrated and powerless as her husband of however many years was becoming this completely different person in front of her and she tried to hold the family together while everything was falling apart because of what he was doing.

[@yourmomssaidicouldhavemyun2590]

Made the most sense? In what way? I mean I know I am essentially asking that difficult question to the peanut gallery but how on earth did you get that? This seems to me like the response a "normal" person would have to this scenario. Which is probably what you are, just know, you are talking from that perspective, not the perspective of a person who has had to deal with hardship but a normal person whose biggest lost was probably their grandma when they were younger. I know the writing of this show is meant to convey the effects of a bad decision but I feel that people like you miss the deeper points of breaking bad, like pride, ego and to a certain degree, purpose. All of that gets lost on morons like your who just see victims everywhere. It's like the sixth sense but with emotional psychopaths.

[@yesnickcarter]

@@yourmomssaidicouldhavemyun2590 I honestly have no idea what point you are making. I understand you think I am stupid. But I don’t understand what point you think I am missing. I’m just going to assume that something I said reminded you of something that makes you mad, and you just had an argument with yourself. When I say she made the most sense, I mean that her choices were the most in line with what a person would do to make the best of a given situation without causing more harm than good. What the hell do you mean finding victims everywhere? I really can’t believe you typed that response to what I said. You are clearly having your own moment on my thread.

If we think about it, Skyler's story is one of the saddest in the BB/BCS universe, in the last episode she is no longer the Skyler of the first chapter who was more optimistic and tried to look for the best for her family, in the end she lost it everything, his house, his social status and his family was completely damaged by Walt's decisions.

[@sidleyparkhermit6391]

The only consolation is knowing that Skyler has some kind of a future, no matter how much she's suffered. She and her kids still have each other; maybe she and Marie will find a way forward as sisters too. Whereas Walt died alone in a Nazi meth lab, knowing his whole family (and whatever friends he ever had) hated his guts.

The writing of Skyler's character had always amazed me because of how real it feels. I know that we're set up to dislike her because we're following Walt's story as the 'protagonist' and Sklyer makes it difficult for him to get away with things - but when you actually imagine yourself in her position as a partner to someone who is constantly lying to you, disappearing for days, and bringing you into a world of crime, you see just how real and reasonable most of her actions & reactions are. And I just love that she is unapologetically written as an intelligent character who can see through Walt's lies.

Watching her fall apart in the final season was pretty rough, it's insane people fail to empathize with her. Was she petty at times? Sure, but her husband was lying to her since the first episode. He was cooking and dealing METH, killing people, all while lying through his teeth. All while she had to deal with her pregnancy (AND childbirth), a son in high school (with a major disability) AND Walt having cancer. The only truly bad thing she ever did was smoke cigs while pregnant. What's even more insane is that she came around and started trying to help Walt, but he was greedy and always wanted more. He got over his head and got family killed, yet people expect her to be supportive? She had every right to leave him, the dude was a ticking time bomb like Mike said.

[@liliman-moli615]

Yep, what you said if we were in her position would do the same actions... Sometimes I don't understand people 😐

I'm surprised she didn't leave him sooner, she really stuck around till the end and put up with all of it and people are still saying she's "annoying" like guys why is this so hard for you to understand? If you were with someone for YEARS and you have children together and they suddenly start leading a life of crime that could endanger the entire household then how would you even sleep at night? Not to mention the entire concept of the person you were with is now suddenly a completely different person and not AT ALL the person you fell inlove with, how you gonna deal with that?

For some time now myself and a small group of fellow cinephiles have been subscribing to the belief that no matter how good a director might be, when they work on a previously established franchise entry, it almost always turns out to be one of their worst films. This is usually due to studios stepping in and stepping on the directors toes with very specific demands and limitations on their creativity. All that to say that yes. David Lynch should have never adapted Dune. Rian Johnson should have never made The Last Jedi. Most of his other films are objectively well executed.

The last jedi is in a weird place for me. Because its my least favorite Star Wars movie without a doubt. But it's also probably the best written of the sequels. The main issue I have with it is that it doesn't fit well in the universe. Like the chase makes no sense to me. My only thought was why doesn't half of Kylo's fleet just hyperspace jump in front of the resistance and pincer move. The big one was Luke considering taking out Kylo even if he instantly decided not to. It doesn't fit. Especially when watching these movies in order. Going from redeem Vader Luke to kill Ben Luke feels wrong. Even if you say it's been 30 years, we as the audience weren't shown enough to justify the change in Luke. So looking at it as a standalone movie. It's not that bad. But as a star Wars movie in the main series, I can't stand it. Whatever, the sequels are done and they sucked. It was doomed from force awakens. Imagine being given creative control over the beast that is Star Wars. Then going with Empire vs Rebels again just with different names.

Skylar is the pinnacle representation of Walt's old life. The writers face us with the crazy dilemma of pitting the audience against her, since she becomes the resistance to the narrative. Walt built a safe, mundane cage of self defeat and loathing and she ultimately was the warden. Many people (especially men) can sympathize with Walt, in relating to his life before the business. An exhaustive list of failures and shattered dreams, are what sells this tragedy. Large in part because it's a self reflection for the many that are Walt but never ended up breaking bad.
