thank you!! Mike has agency, it's a pity it took so long. Now maybe you can go away and think about how that pretty much blows your theory to smithereens. You seem to have a hard time accepting that I can find your theory rubbish and nonsensical while accepting that the story is still unfolding. There is no…

There was definitely more potential to Bill's arc. His death just made his presence seem so pointless, he was just a disposable narrative device and not a real character. That annoyed me.

You have no evidence and your ''questions'' are red herrings. You clearly don't understand my point or are being willfully ignorant. that's ok, it doesn't matter. Does Mike have agency, Yes or No?

but she doesn't know… could be an insurance scam for she knows. He deliberately avoided telling her and he deliberately avoided showing her the consequences of his 'accident'/ beatdown.

Rick has learned from the past. He just hasn't learned the right lessons.

She can't be willfully blind cos she has no idea…

Mike has agency, I'm glad we cleared that up. Bit pointless it took so long.

You seem incapable of understanding my point. So the conversation doesn't move very far and I don't need to play your games. You have irrelevant points that I have repeatedly deal with. I'm not treating Stacey in any way different to anyone. Once again your interpretation is faulty.

Oh the noes!! there are more than one misogynist on the internet. This is startling, truly groundbreaking info. good bye, you're interpretation is misogynist and boring as fuck. Thankfully, the show is lot more interesting.

she's not taking advantage of anything. Mike is choosing this. Mike has all the agency here.

Stacey is not ''manipulating'' Mike because she doesn't have to. The difference here between me and you is that I'm not a misogynist but that's a different argument. There is no evidence for your interpretation that doesn't lean heavily on misogynist feelings. We aren't talking in circles, you are talking nonsense…

no manipulation. Mike is choosing to go along with this… Stacey doesn't have to ''manipulate'' him. It's like pushing an open door. She is no more ''manipulating'' him than if he were her husband. The point of their interaction this week was to see the pseudo-marriage arrangement that they have which mirrors a…

Mike knows its not true but chooses not to tell her. There is nothing manipulative about suffering trauma which is why Mike goes along with it, which is why he doesn't show up with his face messed up and it's why he doesnt tell her about Tuco, the hitmen and Salamanca. Mike is not being manipulated, Stacey …

big man on the internet… such a warrior.

she is not ''manipulating'' him through guilt. Mike has all the agency here. Stacey is 'going along for the ride'.

Well, you ain't ''pretty clear''. You're basically saying hat I'm saying but trying to blame Stacey ver above above Mike. Which is pretty clearly very odious. She isn't taking advantage of him no more than a wife takes advantage of her husband.

still ain't ''scamming''. Mike is at fault not Stacey.

Actually she seems pretty gullible to me with the phantom bullets. Mike is indulging her this is clear. In order to twist it that she is somehow ''scamming'' Mike you have to have a ridiculously low opinion of her motivations that the show has done zero work in showing.

Yes, I feel he is but it will be interesting to see how far they take the comparison and if it will retrospectively change Mike/Walt's relationship.

It's still not ''scamming'' him tho is it. It's basically a 'normal' loveless marriage where they decide to stay together 'for the kids'. It's a choice they both make but they both know they are lying to each other at the same time. What ultimately ''breaks'' them up or brings the truth to the surface is the…
