He needed more cooks anyway, we saw that when Gale went away and then Gus was stuck with Walt. If Gale had died or something, all of Gus' plans would have been fucked.
Also Walt manipulated him. Walt appealed to his sense of family, had him fooled at the beginning completely. By the time he knew what Walt was, Gus was already dead and the rest of it played out.
Goddam, I hate this Skylar cunt like I have never hated another TV character before.
Marie had a more interesting story arc. i dunno too many protagonists who were also kleptos. skyler was just fucking annoying. men generally watch TV to get away from their bitch wives. here there was no escape. but eh, the show was so good you could put up with it. they had to give the bitch something to do. i think women really liked her, so you can't make the whole thing a sausagefest. all that being said, Jesse's girlfriend was much more poisonous. she would have killed jesse and skipped town with his cash and then OD'ed herself. i know women who hated her character. Jane was a real hottie, but she had to go.At least now you can fast forward. If you hate fast forwarding on principle (hey) than at least there's another episode to watch right after if you want. When this was airing one episode per week you'd have these fucking dinner scenes with Skylar talking or bullshit with her sister and the whole time you're watching minutes tick away as the plots and subplots you actually give a fuck about crawl forward.
They created a character who was a realistic and imperfect wife for a beta suburban high school science teacher and had her react appropriately to her husband continually lying, disappearing, and then being revealed as a drug dealer. The horror!
She's not a "cool" character but I think her and the family as a whole help ratchet up the tension and stakes for Walter. If Walter is just a bachelor loser who becomes a drug dealer, I don't think his story arc becomes nearly as compelling.
They can still have conflict without the way they did it in BB. Look at the wife and husband in Ozark for an example. Skylar, her sister, and the son were fucking insufferable in this show. It was still great despite them though.exactly. Said this many times whenever the "bitch about female characters/wives" rears its head. Difficult wives/families are the norm in TV drama's because its an easy additional source of narrative conflict/tension. What would be the point of her character if she just went "ok honey" to everything he did.
its pretty retarded to say that Skyler had to be a cuntface to make this a believable show. just because you married a cuntface harpy doesnt mean everyone else does. some men actually like their wives. some wives arent actually cuntface harpies.
