Yes. YES.

Well Seasons 1-4 take place in one calendar year. There is even a beat of an in-joke when they talk about how a year has gone by and that it seemed so much longer.

Yeah, it really threw me off when they mentioned it had been under a year in like season 4. Either way, the point was she didn't gain weight until well after the baby was born. It was definitely the actress gaining weight and not her character and was really distracting when you watch the seasons back to back and she's 30 lbs heavier from one episode to the next

Holy shit.

Does this mean Ned can be replaced by Tuco?

Ned can never be replaced. The North remembers.

Tuco needs to end every post with "Tight....TIGHT TIGHT" in this thread

Too much man jaw

I never thought she was that bad. Some of her hypocrisy is kind of frustrating, but I think that is the point.

my thought exactly.i think Gillian from Boardwalk Empire is far worse,a true bitch.

I've been FFwing through Skylar scenes since season 2.5

I don't even hate her. I'm not even McMad. She's just boring and extraneous. Nothing of any importance happens during any of her scenes until the most recent season, and even then it's weak. She's dramatic filler. She serves entirely to pace the story -- not to inform it or to further it. Her best lines are "Shut Up" and "I fucked Ted".

If I wanted to watch, "My Aunt: The television show" I suppose I would. That's a problem with the writing. She's a really poorly executed literary device, and it's a shame. I think there was an opportunity to make Skylar something interesting. But it's like the purpose of the character was to set up the "I am the one that knocks" speech. For how much attention has been paid to her, that's awful thin on purpose.

She provides background and context for Walt's actions and their effects. She is a very important part of the story, like her or not.

She doesn't though, is what I'm saying. That's what she'sintendedto do -- I 100% agree with that.

But you could tell this exact same story just as well in half the time without ever seeing Walt's family. It might even be more effective. He's doing it all for his family -- we never see his family. Walts motives are a lie.

I don't think so. Without seeing his brutality juxtaposed against his family life, he's just some thug. His family is what makes the show, it defines who he is.

She's also part of the crushing normality that pushed him to break bad in the first place. Rewatch the pilot; it's incredibly obvious that Walt has no power in their relationship. When he begins to reassert himself, that's when the friction in their marriage begins.

Veggie Bacon caused so much death and destruction.
