Sick as a dog with flu. My 4th day missing work, so I have been binging Breaking Bad once again.
I remember years ago on Old GAF the heated threads about this topic. Guys admitting the terrible feelings they had about the character of Skyler White, except for her magnificent jugs, of course.
Was it legit? Was it just thinly veiled misogyny?
Now of course, nobody sane doubts that Walt lies his ass off constantly and we don't expect her to react like June Cleaver to Hugh Beaumont. But I always watch the show again and feel like she never loves Walt, never gives him the benefit of the doubt, even from the beginning when he is just a poor schmuck with cancer, she is just icy cold and terrible. Marie is fucked up completely, but you always feel the love she has for Hank with his sometimes terrifying career.
Also, as Walt is the main protagonist of the show, I think we are intended to sympathize with him to a certain extent. But when I bounce that off my very objective and strict sense of morality, it gives a pretty discordant clang.
