Is there a quick ~5 min recap anywhere?
Tune into AMC. They're airing BB all day, until 9:30p. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

This is more like a 9 min recap of the series thus far. If you instantly want to get caught up, it's worth the watch. _________________ The butter's hard and the eggs are chillin' in the dark.

Just re-watching the final 5A episode before the break. Walt was going to give Lydia the poison meant for Fring, then decided not to and put it back in it's hiding place behind the outlet. They make a point to keep showing it, so I'm sure it will play into the final episodes. I wonder who is going to end up getting it. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby.

Is anyone here a fan of Skylar?
I'm a fan of Anna Gunn's portrayal of the character.
I'm a fan of how Skylar fits into the story. She's every bit the dynamic character Walter and Jesse are. And her dynamics are huge in contrasting the those two.
But I'm not a fan of Skylar. I dislike her actually. In bizarre fashion, I find her to be a more reprehensible character than Jesse or Walt. Jesse and Walt have obviously committed some heinous acts. But there is still a some morality to them. Walt loves still loves his kids and despite the decline he has taken, he's still the guys who did so to take care of them. Jesse's compassion for others is obvious.
Skylar is just a self-centered (bleep). She tries to claim a moral high-ground to Walt, but she cheats on her marriage and enjoys the power that has come from laundering the money that comes in. She claims to want her "family back", yet she abandons her kids and tries to kill herself. There's really nothing redeeming about her. Walt may have become evil in so many ways, but there is still a hint of someone who cares about his kids. There's nothing likable about Skylar. If she really cared about her kids and doing the right thing, she'd have turned Walt in to Hank long ago.
I'm speechless. That last scene tonight. Flawless acting, incredible tension. I can't think of a scene so representative of an entire arch of a single show. And it's just the first episode. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid!

Exactly. I've re-watched this scene 4 times already. Best Television show I've ever watched.
