Thought she portrayed this character amazingly. I just found breaking bad a couple weeks ago and am now starting season 5. Love her. Love that she is able to portray a strong woman who loves her husband ( or at least really wants to cause she hopes hes still in there somewhere) but still fears him. Great job anna gunn. Can't wait to see you in something soon. Oh....and she's funny too. Great actors all around on this show.
shareI agree! while Walt always claimed he did everything for his family, Skyler actually did (short of the fling with Ted). but prepare yourself for some vicious and personal online attacks- Skyler haters seem to hate her fans even more than her character. stay strong!
shareDon't hate the actress, I actually think an actress that can make you hate her character is something to be recognized.
BUT, I still hate her character, she's unsupportive, she mentally left Walter when he needed her the most, she was disloyal when her husband put his life and his family's life on the line.
His family's life, because they are the whole reason he's doing any of this, he knows how much it'll hurt if they suffer.... but he risked what he loved the most... she was too caught up in her own ideals to see that Walter sacrificed everything.
I'm not condoning what he did, but disloyalty in females is a common trait(edit: in those not blinded, brainwashed, or hormonally inflicted to being loyal), when a man sacrifices himself, she can easily break the man. Especially by sleeping with another man.
Thing the that gets me about Anna, and all of her supporters is that she misinterprets the hatred, its not b/c we dont think shes strong, its b/c shes weak and disloyal, a bitch... when the man she chose to spend the rest of life with practically has a break down, after thinking he was gonna die, everything she does to him is disgusting.
WHAT. A. BITCH. p.s. the character.
Loved the character! Imagine being married to that narcissistic sociopath!!
shareOnly sociopaths and man-hating feminazis can possibly like Skyler.
Any Questions??
Well, I'm neither a sociopath or a man-hating feminazi and I sympathize with Skyler.
shareDid you sympathize with Walt? I did because I can see how the situation he was In caused him to make bad decisions. Not that any normal person would do that. And I would say the same for skyler.
She's been living with a depressed person tryng to hold things together. Then a pathological liar. We never got to see what either one of them could've been without so much stress. To me that makes the characters very real and sympathetic. She and bryan were great. As was the whole cast.
Yeah cheating on your husband because he wanted to help the family makes you a fantastic person.
How can you love that?
