Last night was my favorite episode of the entire series.

I think Walt Junior will be the reason Jesse doesn't burn the place, he'll walk in on him.
Or, the fire will be started, and Walt Jr. will ask him if he's cooking breakfast.

I've been wondering for quite some time what would come of the ricin / Hank having some of Walt's drug money... They seemed to make such a huge deal of both of those being a potential issue

I'm guessing Jesse finds out about Walt and Jesse's old gothic looking gf

I don't think Walt is done manipulating Jesse yet. As terrible as it sounds, I feel the worst is yet to come for Jesse.

Amazing episode. Walt completely neutered Hank, awesome move on his part. I really have no idea how this show is going to end. So many possibilities. Not since the end of "The Shield" have I been this amped up for a show's finale.

Sort of a theme across the entire show... Hank is a tough field guy, but no one really listens to him. Sort of the paper tiger syndrome.

all the skyler hate makes anna gunn a sad panda.

i get it, but what's being ignored is that people's first impression of skyler was that she was a naggy shrew in season one - before walt went sour and she became a victim. it's those episodes where she smoked while pregnant and kept walt's nuts in a jar that the hate is derived from, and not some broader issue.

think so? i don't know about that. he's always seemed very well-respected amongst his peers and subordinates.

She's absolutely right, though. Skyler seems to be more much despised than Walter, which is mind-boggling. Not to mention that the truly annoying and insufferable female character in the show is Marie.

Eh, it's not that Skylar is wrong, it's her whole demeanor throughout the show.

people still rooting for walt doesn't say anything about anyone. it's a product of story telling. he was the original protagonist, and the show is about him. there will always be a natural loyalty there, no matter what.

her and carmella and catelyn stark...they're irritating to male viewers because of their personalities. not simply because they're obstacles to our favorite anti-heros.

She's never really "wrong" given her perspective. But how she handles things, treats Walt...just how she talks in general. All those things bother me. Plus her beady little eyes, but she can't help that. Doesn't mean it can't bother me though!

My stance simply is, Walt is the hero to me in this story, even if he's the anti-hero. I want him to succeed. Build his legacy. Get what he wants. She, until recently, has gotten in the way of that. That would be why she annoys me. It has nothing to do with her not fulfilling some type of stereotypical "good wife" stigma. It's that I'm 22 and Walter White is a boss, and I want him to win.

Was right. I think she's been wrong for quite a while now.

Edit: oh never mind, misunderstood the conversation.

Now, do I think it's completely wrong for people to make threats to an actress playing the part of a character they don't like? Yes. Completely 100% wrong. Those people have some crazy disconnect. They hate someone that isn't even real. I don't think you can knock someone for rooting for Walt at this point, but you're out of your mind if you think Anna Gunn is deserving of threats.

I guess I can't speak for others, but my history of not liking her is strictly because of her personality...which doesn't mesh with what she's saying, right?

But I don't even really dislike her much anymore, and haven't for a while, since she's gotten the emotional crap kicked out of her.

She used to be an annoying nag, and deserved all the venom.

Edit...not ALL the venom obviously. People go too far
