Do you hate Skyler White???

[loot]

I do, and after googling "I hate Skyler White" I see that I am not the only one. Not only is she fugly, but she is an ungrateful attention whore who doesn't deserve the great life she has. Now I am not condoneing Walts actions at all but she should be either all in or all out and stop being a fence riding crazy bitch. I have never hated a tv show character as much as I hate her.

With a ****ing passion.

[iamgine]

I can't hate her cause she doesn't watch Breaking Bad like we do. I think her actions have been normal considering what has happened.

[Myth]

I have no problem with her. Really liked her in the most recent episode.

[RidonKs]

it's hilarious how many fans really do hate her.... in spite of the fact that the show really goes out of its way to sympathize with her position and explain her motives and demeanor. i'll avoid throwing out labels like insults but despising her would seem to say a lot about how you generally feel towards women.


btw i don't think its been said for a while, so for the umpteenth time i repeat: i miss the old (good) loot

[franchise#3]

To be fair her husband is a drug dealer and a killer.

[Loneshot]

Si, hate her. Not because of her hating Walt, but because she's too dumb to know what to do about her hate.

What rubs me the wrong way is that she not only cheated on Walt, but she let the man she cheated with steal 600K. And when that man got what was coming to him for stealing the money, she not only felt terrible about it and for him, but almost looks to Walt like he's the animal for what happen to this guy. She is the walking definition of a c/unt, and that isn't a word i throw around.

[Blue&Orange]

it's hilarious how many fans really do hate her....

The guys that want to be Walt, make a lot of money selling drugs and buy expensive cars, don't like Skyler? That's surprising!

[dunksby]

Let's not over simplify things, in my book they are both cooks, one cooks meth the other cooks books both hurt people and families. The only difference is Walt is embracing his new side while Skylar still thinks she is the victim of a forced situation.

[JohnnySic]

She gave him the money, he didn't steal it. :confusedshrug:

She's a mother trying to protect her kids from a perceived harm. Pretty funny to see people side with a drug dealer on this.

She doesn't deserve Walt :bowdown:

It bothered me that she closed her v@gina that one scene when walt was going at it in the kitchen with her.

[SCREWstonRockets]

shes obviously doing a good job if people hate her. shes like the bad guy in pro wrestling. the show is fake, but people hate her! lol

Why so much hate in your life? Eat a fresh juicy mango and get back to me.

[TheSilentKiller]

I don't like her but she is a necessary character. This season she has really become a baby back bitch though.

[stax]

She is somewhat irksome, yes.

SuperPippen said something similar in the BB discussion thread. I don't see how criticising one woman makes a person misogynistic. :confusedshrug:

Agreed. I think the people who think this of Skylar haters are the ones whose character should be in question. Skylar's character has been written in a way that doesn't make her likable despite who Walt is. Walt even pointed out in the last episode that despite her good intentions, she doesn't know what the hell she is doing. Unlike him, she doesn't think things through in the least.

And how anyone can feel sorry for this character considering her previous actions of cheating, stealing, and aiding her crooked boss in further theft; how anyone feels bad for her is beyond me. At least Walt's original intentions were virtuous, even if he has swayed from that.

[Jakeh008]

Been waiting for her and walt JR to get killed off since the series started.

wtf is wrong with drug dealers?? its only because of how society looks at things a certain way. what do you think about bartenders?? what do you think about drug companies?? get you're head out of you're ass you sheep f@ggot

bartenders are worse then drug dealers in some case. are they all bad to?

they put meth in ADHD prescription pills. what about those drug companies who make that meth?? sheep f@ggot

I think you need to be awakened from you're government controlled sleep.

Who the **** is Skyler white?

She also knows Walt is capable of murder...

[DFish]

She also knows Walt is capable of murder...

Capable of necessary murder for the sake of survival and self-preservation. Not killing Gus would've been the dangerous thing to do for the White family.

Do wives of military men or cops act this way when they kill people? I think not. She's an entitled, nagging, cheating **** and has been for the entire series. The writers intended for us to dislike her.

I'm not trying to take sides I do hate Skyler but the guy is comparing Walt to a freaking bartender :lol

no no my comment was just directed at the statement in general really had nothing to do with the tv show.

didnt walt poison the little kid? thats where i draw the line at being a good person but killing for his family(gus) i thought was justifiable

[RidonKs]

question: when walt flips out and starts laughing like a maniac under the floorboards as a result of gus threatening to kill his wife son and infant daughter... wasn't that an overreaction? lol hear me out

maybe i'm misremembering but in the conversation he has with gus in the desert, walt specifically brings up the fact that gus can't harm him in any way because if he does jesse won't cook for him. gus' response is "that can change"... as in, eventually, MAYBE, he'd be able to talk jesse out of his pact with walt and convince him what an erratic selfish prick he has for a partner.

bottom line, it was an empty threat and for some reason, cold calculating totally rational walt completely misinterprets it or at least fails to think it through, instead flipping his shit and turning to madness ('disappearing' his family). technically it would have to be years before gus could realistically do anything unless he's willing to sacrifice the product driving his entire business


was that just walt unleashing all the pent up insanity of transforming his lifestyle from boring to in constant mortal danger... or just a plothole from the writers? eh?

[DFish]

RidonKs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9cwsKHjTEk

I wouldn't call it an empty threat. It was pretty clear to Walt that Gus was willing to murder his entire family at that point. That's when he rushes home to collect the money to relocate his family to safety, only to find out that Skyler gave it all to Ted. That's ultimately what forced Walt to kill Gus. His first plan of action was to disappear from the meth game entirely. Skyler botched that.

[RidonKs]

the threat wasn't empty because he wasn't 'willing' to kill walt. gus has proven himself willing to kill anybody... at any point. remember victor?

but at the end of the day, for gus nothing is personal and everything is business. and business demands leaving walt alone.

that clip sort of confirms what i thought.


IF you choose to interfere, it becomes a much simpler matter. gus even spells it out in a sense. stay in the picture and yeah i won't hesitate to kill you... leave me alone however, return to your family with all of your money (recall at this point walt doesn't know about the 600k), and resume teaching chemistry? suddenly not such a big dilemma

it's a bit out of character for walt to have the reaction he did, given his superb powers of deduction in every other aspect of the show. though not completely, crazy pressure situation and all, at the time jesse wasn't exactly acting reliably... so other factors come into play

bottom line seems to me that the situation wasn't as imminent as walt's behaviour would have had the viewer believe. but iunno, minor complaint i guess.



skylar f*cked the dog with the money, sure, but she was only keeping herself out of prison. like she continually told that retread ted, even a slightly closer look at those books and the whole story unravels and she heads to prison for willful tax fraud, leaving her children motherless. and we know how important she believes keeping the family together is, considering she didn't turn walt in as soon as she found out about his first 'incident'.

[KevinNYC]

I don't see how criticising one woman makes a person misogynistic. :confusedshrug:

Except that in this case he is criticizing the one woman in a misogynistic way.


Also, since she is a fictional character, do you hate the writers and producers of Breaking Bad for writing her the way they have?


I also am really amused that the OP thinks that she has a great life.

[Batz]

I've never have despised a character and an actress as much this woman.

Vince Gilligan did a terrible job with this one, as well as the casting directors. Unfortunate for Vince, he's one of my favorite writers really. He's done a fantastic job with basically every other character in the series, but the wife is just a flop. Her role is all this is forced and out of place, in the last episode, there were some good ones, I would say that it was the Characters best episode, but still it left me with a headache.

First the wife thing in general. I've never once had a moment in the series where I felt that Walter in Skylar were every married, or even a couple. Everytime these two share a scene, I always think to myself "These two were in-love once before?" I've never gotten such a feeling from them, and it has everything to do with Skylar, as Bryan Cranston does a brilliant job with his compassion and love, translating even from his previous work. But nothing from the wife, just dead in the water. Emotionless with a bad story-line.

Now transitioning onto Anna Gunn. What a terrible actress. I and a few fellow friends of mine laughed our asses off when we heard she was nominated for an Emmy. Her performance in Breaking Bad has been all around terrible, being carried by Betsy Brandt even who I believe should've gotten the nomination if any female in the series. Anna is either emotionless or too dramatic. The worst of it is that, she butt ugly. If you're going to cast a talentless tit, then atleast get someone who looks good. Sheesh. To top it all off, this was her first time in such a major role? The casting crew took a big dump on this one.

That's just my opinion on the matter, I would've killed off the bitch seasons ago. So useless and out of place and being portrayed by a terrible actress. This is still my favorite series on-going right now, but that's thanks to Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mite and whoever else. I hate the character, and I loathe Anna Gunn. Just absolutely terrible.

[DFish]

RidonKs, you're forgetting things about season 4. Remember during that situation Walt was basically trapped. Gus was planning on murdering Hank, and he was telling Walt to not intervene or he'd kill his family. Yeah, I'd say Walt's reaction to being trapped during the crawlspace scene was appropriate for his character.

It was either

1) Warn Hank, save his life and face the consequences from Gus.

2) Not warn hank, let Gus kill him and face the repercussions from his wife and sister-in-law. And also have to deal with Gus eventually.

With the first option, Walt was planning on using the money he saved up to hire the guy that Saul knows who can relocate a person and his family and give them entirely new lives. Basically hitting the restart button. That's the route Walt wanted to go with. His first reaction wasn't to kill Gus. That came after he found out that his money was gone and the relocation was no longer an option.

[KDTrey5]

kill her b4 i do it

[RidonKs]

First the wife thing in general. I've never once had a moment in the series where I felt that Walter in Skylar were every married, or even a couple. Everytime these two share a scene, I always think to myself "These two were in-love once before?"
this is a really silly criticism of the character

you're supposed to feel that way. the show opens with walt getting news about his cancer and impending doom, information he chooses not to share with his wife of 20 odd years. it's at this very point that walt, a notoriously shitty liar who can bottle things up for a long time but can never hide the fact that he's got something to hide, starts acting strangely and arousing his wife's suspicions.

remember jr's comment in s4 after walt, hopped up on some pain medication or something, completely breaks down on his shoulder? he says he liked it, that at least crying was REAL, which is the total opposite of how walt's been for the past year... coincidentally since the show first began

of course it isn't the cancer that's really the nail in old walt's coffin. his life doesn't completely spiral out of control until he dwells on the insignificance of his life, with prompts him to do something drastic; motives being overtly a) to provide financially for his family, and covertly b) to finally gain some respect from a world of people towards whom he's always felt like a submissive nerd loser

and the 'love' you speak of, from walt's end, has only really begun to shine through since he disclosed his secret. there's a reason for that. before confiding in his wife, walt could never come to 24/7 grips on his new persona, which explains how awkward he was lying to his family. he was living a double life which inevitably, as a result of his being a poor liar, resulted in one side of his life being transparent in its inauthenticity. that was the home side.

it wasn't until he told skylar, or really anybody from his 'prior' life it just happened to be his wife, that he could begin to feel at ease in his new skin. problem is, his new skin isn't what skylar fell in love with in the first place. from the get go of this show, walt has been a different human being from the guy skylar married.

that's the irony of the entire show; in walt's pursuit of respect from everybody he loves, he's inevitably going to drive away everybody he loves. when everybody liked him he hated himself, and now that he finally likes himself, everybody hates him. (everybody being only skylar atm but im willing to bet that hank marie and almost def jr would/will react the same way)

aaah, you're right. totally forgot about hank, that was the 'if' gus was referring to. i thought he was just talking about walt staying out of the lab and jesse's life. my mistake.

At that moment, Walt wasn't in danger, but the rest of his family was. Gus said to not interfere with them taking out Hank or Walt's family is dead, and Walt made sure a call went in to protect Hank, which means Gus would have went for Walt's family. That is why Walt freaked. It wasn't his own safety, but his family's.

[SuperPippen]

Copied and pasted my post from the season 5 thread:


"The hatred is so deeply ingrained in some of you that you can't even consider looking at Skyler's actions from another perspective.

Deny it all you want, but there is a definite twinge of real misogyny in all of these anti-Skyler comments. Those comments just get so ****ing old.

'Skylers' a stupid **** bitch, I hope Walt kills her'
'**** that whore Skyler, she should just do whatever Walt wants'
'I hope they kill that bitch off'

I hated her as well the first time I watched the series, but I'm a lot more sympathetic now that I've watched it a second time."

No offense, but I think most of your opinions are extremely ****ing stupid, and this post proves to be no different.


I hated Skyler on my first watch of the series as well, and I agree that maybe they could have done a better job to make her more sympathetic in the earlier seasons, but criticizing Gunn's acting? :biggums:

Her performance is almost universally agreed to be terrific, as with almost every other actor on this show. You really laughed because you heard she was nominated for an Emmy? What an idiot.

You really think that, after all the emotion she has done a great job in expressing, after all of the nuance that goes into her performances week in and week out, she's "terrible?" I could understand not being particularly impressed by it, but "terrible?"

My theory on why you hate the actress: her performance has been so convincing that your hate for the character has transitioned into hate for the actress. Why else would you hate Anna Gunn? Do you know her as a person? Have you ever met her? Likely not. You know her solely based on her performance as Skyler White.


Bottom line, the Skyler hate is irritating, if understandable, but hating the actress is idiotic. You're an idiot.

Agreed. Poor timing for this thread IMO.

[TheSilentKiller]

Yeah, this last episode Skylar is helping illustrate Walts changes. She has always been kind of annoying, but she has never been this shell-shocked during the show. Walt is a complete monster now and even his closest companion before selling meth now wants him dead.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Well you know an actor is good when the hate towards him or her becomes personal.

[Batz]

this is a really silly criticism of the character

that's the irony of the entire show; in walt's pursuit of respect from everybody he loves, he's inevitably going to drive away everybody he loves. when everybody liked him he hated himself, and now that he finally likes himself, everybody hates him. (everybody being only skylar atm but im willing to bet that hank marie and almost def jr would/will react the same way)
Please don't give me a silly synopsis of the show. I'm very well aware of it. (Queue continues mocking).

The irony of this is that, you say Walt needs to distant himself from everybody he loves, I know that silly, my complaint is that there was no love established between him and Skylar in the first place for him to distant themselves from. I have never felt it, I know I'm not the only one. An entire viewer community has expressed it the same way and the writing staff has begun adressing this season 3-4. Even some posters who repped me recognize the same thing.

Ain't that cute. You took the asshole approach. This will go well.

Universally agreed to be terrific? One dimensional acting with massive short-comings? Neat addition there buddy. Maybe I have ridiculous standards? Yeah, you go with that one.

Yeah, it's terrible. That's something that is universally agreed upon too. Contradictory at it's finest. High-five like a mother****er.

Do you know her as a person? Have you ever met her? Likely not. You know her solely based on her performance as Skyler White.
Or maybe you read to into it? Lets go with that one. Her performance as Skyler White has not been convincing at all. She falls short in every significant scene. Her acting rarely ever translates over and falls short just about everytime. In the recent episode she was actually pretty fantastic, saved her from that rather laughable 'shut-up' fiasco, which didn't sell at all. She has no chemistry with anyone on the set, not even her child and Husband. If you think that Gunn has put on such an intense and accomplishing performance that is the real reason behind my loathe, so be it. I say it is not, and I will continue to criticize her rather ludicrous and easily mockable acting that for me plagues a fantastic show.

[NuggetsFan]

I actually thought she's been excellent as an actress. She's been pigeon holed into the typical upset wife and I thought she's played it well. Only so much you can do with the wife. I can see the love between her and Walter too. I remember a scene way back where Walt and Skylar are talking about Marie stealing things. Anyways Walt says something along the lines like what would you do if it were me, she responds with you don't want to find out and it comes off perfectly. You can see his fear of his wife finding out.

First time I've seen somebody complain about her acting. I've heard people say they hate her but let's be honest, what likeable wifes are their in key shows?
