Skyler wouldn't be so hated if Anna Gunn wasn't as good of an actress as she was

[@lightningmonky7674]

[@reaperz5677]

I think she would be hated even more, honestly. If we assume that everyone else acts the same (As in, borderline perfectly), then Anna Gunn would probably just get harassed for ruining the show.

What about his propeller cap? I can still vividly remember him wearing it, I just can’t remember what episode it is

[@lumisussy]

I think that was season 2 episode 5, "Fuel Huell". Jesse and Walt both realize the stress is getting to them while at Saul's office and Huell overhears them. They all smoke weed together and go go-karting and I think in a montage there's a short scene of Walter laughing at Jesse wearing a propeller cap licking a huge lollipop, causing him to cry

I was a kid watching breaking bad I remember hating Skyler so much. As I got older and my brain formed I found she was the best character in the show. Talking to people I know who were already adults when it came out like my parents/coworkers, I think the Skyler hate came from mostly teen/young adult men who comprised the online fanbase.

[@NdieCity]

Yeah, the Skyler hate was ridiculous. The only actual bad things i can remember her doing in the show were smoking while pregnant and cheating on her husband but even then, considering Walt literally tried to force himself on her in season 2, I really can't blame her for that

[@abluefishh8402]

​@@NdieCitythen gave all of walts money to the man she cheated with

[@D-Fens_1632]

People were just rooting for Walt, and they got carried away with perceiving her as a villain because they saw her as an obstacle. She should take any "hate" as a compliment to the writing and acting.

[@dylanchilders]

Yeah I’ve been rewatching the show now that im in my 20s and not a dumb teen, and I can’t believe I hated her like I did on my first watch. Sure she can be a bitch, but putting myself in her shoes I definitely side with her more than I do with Walt

[@milkgxng]

she was just a totally annoying evil a hole in the beginning its not really that hard to understand. From the perspective of her husband doing this to save his family when he knows he's going to die soon it's not really hard to understand why you would be rooting for walt over his wife at the moment she was ungrateful and selfish and she also turned out to be hypocritical not much later. The actress did a great job as did the writers. I don't see why it's such a bad thing to have such good characters that people take sides with one or the other, thats a testament to the writing and acting not muh young men evil

[@benjiequezada]

Skylar is probably the most misunderstood character in all of Breaking Bad. She gets dealt one of the worst hands of anybody in the whole show. She lives a tough existence scraping by for money when her husband gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. Then, instead of taking a great job with better pay and benefits, he turns it down and suddenly becomes extremely aloof; disappearing for hours or days at a time and is constantly lying about what he’s been doing all while she is pregnant with an unexpected child. Eventually she finds out that her husband is a “manufacturer” of drugs. Anybody put into such situation would be a wreck and she lashes out like basically anybody else would. We tend to see her as some kind of a nag or even an antagonist because the show takes the POV of the character who is, ultimately, the villain of the series. She is easily one of the most real and grounded characters in the whole show and I’ve grown to appreciate her character so much more in subsequent rewatchings.

[@Eyevou]

What is Breaking Bad? It sounds like a wholesome show about turning teenagers lives around.

[@BarkBarkLol-q8k]

Yes. It's a show meant to show teens the bad effects of drugs.

[@SinnamonAstonish]

1:22:27 Holly being Ted's father is a twist I definitely didn't see coming tbh

[@mazoku6793]

I actually really like the pool theory. The idea of the pool being "alive" may seem silly, but I think it adds a level of psychological horror that I find very intruiging.

[@thesalmonorchestra651]

It honestly isn’t that unfitting either, there’s a surprising amount of near-supernatural events in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul

[@expendableindigo9639]

The reason for the phone call Mandela Effect in 38 Snub is because it’s like Tyrus’ only speaking line, so of course when people heard an unknown threatening voice saying “Walter” they assumed it was Mike lol.

[@AluminumFusion22]

Since you mentioned the video essay discussing how stupid the whole "this is the moment Walter became Heisenberg" thing, I'm surprised this factoid didn't show up: • Walter White WAS originally written as a tragically sympathetic character early on in the show before Vince Gilligan and the rest of the show's cast and crew leaned into the idea that Walt has never been a good man, but a man incapable of hurting people. As soon as he gains the ability to dominate and hurt people, he seizes the opportunity.

[@BeyondBaito]

9:25 I met Raymond Cruz once and asked him about this and he said something along the lines of "That ad was ridiculous" (while laughing about it). Also I was an extra in BCS and I've met both Bob Odenkirk and Vince Gilligan, both are very nice. 35:13 My mom ordered from that same place for my brother's 13th birthday, and no the pizza was not cut, that isn't a joke in the show. The place was called "Venezia's Pizzeria" but now they've renamed it to "Gino's New York style pizza". Someone pretending to be Skylar White also once left a review for the place complaining that the pizza was on the roof, but rated it 5 starts anyway. 36:02 personal story. When I was background on BCS they didn't tell any of us about Jeff. I don't remember but I swear I saw him near the background extras once and literally thought nothing of it. When they filmed the shot of him leaving the changing room we all just assumed he's a featured extra for an establishing shoot, cool. Also in Payday 2 you cook meth for a man named Hector who is a rival of The Dentist, a man who hides in plan sight, he is played by the same actor as Gus.

[@WackoX1337]

8:44 The reason why BB used yellow filter, was because the first time they had to use it was in Mexico and the weather was so bad they had to mask it, and then they kept it for consistency.

[@Cadenza525]

about the payday 2 references: 1. there is also an achievement called "Breaking Dead" which you get for finding a ma(e)th lab in one of the ship containers on The Bomb: Dockyard Heist 2. on the Border Crossing Heist you can find the RV standing far away on the edge of the map, and if you get spotted and the alarm starts, the RV quickly droves off.

Still get blown away that Bryan Cranston played both Hal and Walt/Heisenberg within two years. Such a masterclass!

[@getthegoons]

29:04 Worth noting about that song, the protagonist leaves El Paso because he killed another man over Felina. He later returns because he can't stay away from her and gets gunned down trying to get back to her, almost obsessively. There's probably parallels.

About the pool theory, there's an Iron Maiden song called 'Still Life,' whose lyrics tell the story of a man who sees some sort of ghost in a lake. Ultimately, he kills himself alongside his girlfriend/wife because the pool told him to do it. The song itself is based on a novel, and I wouldn't say that it's such a crazy theory.

I remember being a child (like 7-8) and despite not seeing Breaking Bad yet, I still knew the characters from a cultural osmosis view, and this lead me to notice the weirdest reference to the show.There was this book called I Funny about this kid who's in a wheelchair and wants to become a comedian. Well in one chapter halfway through he's out in public and there are these illustrations shown and in one of them there is two characters in the crowd that look like Walt and Jesse, with Walt's Heisenberg hat and his goatee, and Jesse's beanie and baggy clothing.
