@eric827:disqus Why would an accountant ever help someone cook books if he/she wasn't making money off of it? The only other reason would be to keep your job because your husband has cancer.

@avclub-3637e699ad72d8f22be3b5836c290730:disqus I'm sorry, but you're really stretching it. There's just no way the IRS could prove that Skyler knew the bookkeeping she was doing was based on false numbers. Originally, Ted didn't even tell her that's what he was doing, she just figured it out. And no, Ted couldn't…

No, @avclub-3637e699ad72d8f22be3b5836c290730:disqus . She wouldn't have needed to save Ted's sorry ass if Walter hadn't cooked meth. She would've said, "sorry, not my problem" and let Ted float down the river. The IRS weren't after her. This was stated explicitly on the show that the only reason Skyler cared about…

I think the first outright act of war in their marriage was Walt becoming a drug dealer. The second was when he broke back into the house and called her bluff re:calling the cops and make her look like an evil shrew who hated Walt for no reason in front of her son. The third act was fucking Ted, which was not…

"Oh, you mean she hasn't been the same since she gave away over $600k to cover her own ass and basically forced Walt to confront Gus instead of running away from him?  Yeah, it's a real wonder that people dislike the character."
No, she gave away 600K to keep herself *and* Walt out of jail, as the IRS would've…

No, I don't have to admit that at all. Her husband started disappearing with no explanation, taking mysterious calls with a second hidden phone and lying about it and doing drugs. (she thought). She was certainly the "alpha" in the relationship and pretty bossy, but her "bitchiness" was more than justified by Walt's…

"You have the audacity to type that drivel and then call out anyone who dislikes Skyler as a misogynist?"@avclub-3637e699ad72d8f22be3b5836c290730:disqus  Okay, I'll concede that the "real crime" comment was underselling it bit. As I pointed out earlier, Skyler has acknowledged her guilt and her eventual fate, and so…

I actually really liked the Michael Scott Paper Company storyline, and Michael's goodbye in S7, plus the Holly love story.

Good call. They're leaving at exactly the right time, while the quality is at its peak and their dignity is intact. Now that that's settled, who do you guys think is going to win the election this year? Obama or McCain?

Skyler's moment with the wine was meant to be funny. I think it worked for most people.
