Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

I dunno skylers character has been exceptionally self centred through out the series he sense of self preservation is much higher. The rye smile in bed as the last scene in this episode means she's already got something over on Walt I'm betting.

Yeah, we don't know everything she said to Beineke in hospital. He's still got that $622,000 hasn't he? That's probably part of her plan.
 
Really? The boss told the cops that he thought pretty much exactly that too. Which clearly means that they aren't and there wasn't.
No he didn't. He said he'd like to bleive it was one bad apple but he wanted to make sure just in case. As in what do you really know about us... How exposed are we.
 
Surely Skylar is the most sympathetic character bar Walt Jr. But she is now showing she is not incorruptible.

No way. She came over as a bit of a Republican money-loving, law and order-upholding citizen (see also, the materialist Walt Jr), whereas up til the end of series 4, Walt was portrayed as a reluctant outlaw.
 
I don't see how they have ever turned her into a hateful character in any way. What do you mean?
At every opportunity to see the good in the situation or in Walt she's decided to not do so... at no point has she every looked at his actions as that of protecting the family when he thought he was dying, it's only now that she has profited from it that she's got any concern and it's still about what happens if it come back to bite her in the ass not the family.

I see her as Walt Lite.

She is like 5 steps behind Walt. Condemns his actions but then its fine for her when its her decision to break the law in her self interests. Bit of a hypocrite really.

what a crock of utter horseshit. Walt isnt protecting their family in any way shape or form, he's an egomaniacal lunatic running New Mexico's biggest meth lab purely for his own ends. He is a fucking time bomb waiting to explode, to quote someone who seems to have a rather less dewy eyed version of him than you. He is the cause of most of their problems.

Protecting the family and being an egomaniacal lunatic are not mutually exclusive.
 
Agreed but he does think he is the protector. Remember the bit about telling Saul that all his money is gone and he owes Jesse $40k? He still knows cancer could come back and he has a young daughter and Walt Jr to provide for.

He's got addicted to making meth. Some f that stuff about "his product", "demand on the streets for my product" and stuff were pretty awful. To hell with getting people addicted as long as Walt Jr has a car to drive when Walt dies.
 
Indeed, but protecting a family and being an egomaniacal loon are not mutually exclusive and Walt's proving that point.
I'm of course not saying Walt is right.
 
Breaking bad was initially described to me as a man's journey from being Mr Chips to Scarface.

He starts off wanting to provide for his family from beyond the grave.
His spiralling decent from there has been due to a number of factors in varying reoccurring orders:

Personal Survival
Ego
Proffesional Pride
Protecting friends and family
Enjoyment of power

It's never really been about greed for Walt. Money went from being for his family and now is merely a byproduct of the game of 'who is winning?'.

Given a different set of circumstances he would never have broken bad but the series seeks to show how the right circumstances in the right order could slowly transform anyone. Even Skylar (with her own ego) has been breaking bad but Walt is right at the coalface compared to her so his descent has been steeper and more severe primarily because of this.
 
set up ps3 media server on your home machine. Give it an IP and set up your router to allow incoming connections to it via the interwebs...

then set up a username and password to stop everyone stream the shit outta your machine...

then use media connect an app you can get for most smart phones (and some fair bright dumbd phones too) to then use the internets to connect to your media server this way you can always connect provided you've got an internet connection to your media and stream it to any device (iphone, Ipad, eggsbox, tivo, ps3, wii, android, netbook, browser net enabled fridge etc...)

if that's too technical then sorry what do you want we cut your food up and make air'y plane noises too???
