I really don't believe you have the critical acuity to appreciate this show.  The reviewer criticises Walt because this show is intended as a morality play; the machinations of the criminal underworld are just the context, the heart of this show is about the downward spiral of an unassuming teacher into evil.  Vince…

I don't know why this hasn't been a discussion point but it seemed pretty obvious to me that Walt raped Skyler in last week's episode. This was backed up by the fact that she states in this episode that she is no longer able to keep Walt out of her bed, seemingly a pointed reference to the fact that she was so…

Wish I could like this more - really great analysis of the situation.

She didn't just realise he was a criminal, however up until the end of last season he had sold her a pretty convincing line that he was just the cook in a large operation that kept him totally removed from the violence of the drugs trade and his job was no more dangerous than your average Joe's.  The only real risk…

I agree, she feels like a captive in her own house and is trying to find any small way she can defy the control he has over her and their home, the damp squib of Walt's birthday party being another small defiance.

She's not going to leave him because that would mean leaving her children in Walt's care and potentially in the cross-hairs of anyone Walt crosses or who wants to muscle in on his business.

Someone a commenter (sorry, can't remember who) said that people tend to watch this show as a morality play or as a criminal genre piece.  I think it is possible to do both, and I do enjoy watching our protagonists getting away with their plans as it allows the drama to continue, however I find analysing the morals of…

Throughout the last three episodes, in spite of telling myself I had given up on any lingering moral side to Walt I have found myself continually surprised by how dark he has become.  He starts to bond with bond with Jesse; "Ok", I think, "he's probably only doing this to keep the only person left who has any loyalty…

In reply to kencosgrove, I totally agree with Ted wanting Peggy, primarily almost as a trophy of Don's.  Of course Peggy is talented, but my immediate reaction to that meeting between Ted and Peggy was that she, like Joan in the parallel storyline, was being objectified by someone who wanted to possess her because of…
