Dexter’s sister Debra Morgan aggravated me more than Skylar

I'll have to rewatch again soon to refresh my memory, but I thought Walt and Skylar kinda deserved each other. Walt did enough where it'd be foolish for Skylar to just sit back and take it... but at the same time, she seemed to resent him on some level for his life decisions pre-BB, and she couldn't wait to stick it to him for it whenever she could.

It takes awhile to see the whole picture of their relationship. Remember Walt and Skylar’s pitiful “how they met story”? Walt was an emasculated wimp of a man because he was rejected by his partner from Gray Matter.

We feel that Skylar is loathsome because she fell for and married a wimp. We think she is responsible for cucking Walt because we joined the story in the middle.

Skylar doesn’t get a pass though. She’s the type of hen pecking woman who married a wimp. She doesn’t even know that she would rather have a strong man, one who would take her from behind in bed without asking, until she gets one.

However, this new found power totally corrupts Walt who uses his new strength to dominate and take advantage of people for his own benefit.

Throughout his story arc, he’s totally selfish, but he thinks he’s a nice guy because he tries to act like a nice guy. All the while, he’s nursing his bruised ego as resentment builds up.

For all of us who have ever been quietly resentful of others, especially our spouse, can relate to Walt’s pathos, even though we don’t have the narcissistic tendency to unleash such a beast in response.

Walt’s biggest mistake was not settling down and being Fring’s cook and back-stabbing Gale.



This was my thought as well while watching, but I can't remember now when Fring and Walt soured on each other. Was it because Walt was trying to go over Fring?

Things went bad when Walt killed two of Frings dealers that killed that boy Jessie knew. That’s when Fring brings back Gale to learn Walt’s method to eventually replace him.

I've always hated Marie more than Skyler


Let's compare them.

Scenario: Husband goes through drastic changes and obviously has major issues both psychologically and physically.

1) Skyler: fricks her boss and acts like a rancid bitch to everyone.

2) Marie: Goes down on her husband. Steals stuff.

I bet Marie is a freak in the sack as well.
