And while editing we figured out what I.F.T was. Look at them getting all sneaky with the title again.
I love your reactions, guys. But You talk too muchhhh. Pay atention to the dialogues!!
@@malaga145 I've never felt that way? Hmm...
@@malaga145
They do just fine
I was just about done with the episode and was wondering if we'd ever find out what "I.F.T.' meant...and then Sklar hits us with it. LOL.
I fuck ted lol... after that i was like fucking breaking bad, spoiling shit in the titles . but we never know till the end
I've always found it funny that Gus thinks to bring a veggie tray to a secret cartel sitdown.
well he does work in the food industry
It's an etiquette thing with the cartel, it's considered rude to not offer, and also rude to eat anything offered.
@@Chrisfragger1 Food is ALWAYS offered, but to reach out and partake during the meeting is bad form, it's just done for etiquette, as a part of the protocol.
@@Chrisfragger1 A gentleman never shares his secrets. 😉
@@Chrisfragger1 because he's Mr White of course 🤷♂️
21:04 that moment when her voicemail is deactivated and Jesse realizes that was the last time he's ever going to hear her voice is so devastating. 😟 It's like she died all over again.
It's interesting comparing this to 10 years later and thinking about how people grieve in the era of social media when most people's footprints are never really totally deleted.
@@jamesliggins891 Geocities is closing down in March, there goes a bunch of 90's peeps. :)
movieman175 My Dad recently had to get a new phone and was unable to save my Mom’s voicemail greeting (it has been there since before she passed in 2011)... it was shattering the first time we called and just a standard greeting came on
@@celeste1737 ugh. Im sorry. I know that feeling.
@@jamesliggins891 So true. My older brother died in 2012, yet his FB page still exists, and I get notifications on his birthday.
Watching people conflict with themselves on the actions of Walt is the true magic of this show.
True if more people were conflicted. I used to love these reactions but now I get more depressed and angry by people's views on morality .
@@johngrimes5852 yep, it's really frustrating how people defend such a hypocritical POC as Skyler.
@@user-hp1up2rn1h Skylar and Walt are both shitty parents. But at this point in the show Skylar hadn't gotten into the business.
@@johngrimes5852 at this point Skyler is putting kids in danger as much as Walter, by not going to the police and playing power games with Walter instead. Not to mention that she sleeps with her criminal boss for herself.
this is a small detail but it's absolutely terrifying that at 8:20 the right twin doesn't even blink as Tortuga is getting beheaded. i understand these guys are beyond fucked up and don't give a shit about killing, but it's still a scary detail
It was also funny to notice that they used machete on the character which used to star in Machete series.
"Did Walt do a horrible thing?" "Yes!" "With good intentions?" "Yes!" "Did Skyler do a horrible thing?" "Yes!" "WIth good intentions?" "No!" "Exactly."
You two are definitely married for good reasons. lol
Edit: Three years of replies (thank!) I just want to point out the quotation marks on the original comment. I would actually agree with anyone pointing out Walt's self-indulgent narcissism vs. Skyler being an actual victim. Just enjoyed that rapid-fire moment between Nikki & Steven.
They share a value system, an extremely important aspect of relationship building.
Well-summarized.
That's even worst! Walter White is an idiot!
Are you fing serious? WW killed people, watched a girl die and who knows how many died because of the drugs he made. That money is blood money and you want to compare it to a wife cheating on her husband? Get real please...
I am killing people for my kids education? Its ridiculous to speak of good intentions here...
@@icetruck3420 You know what quotation marks are right? I dunno why you're yellin' at me.
Holy shit I just realized what I.F.T standed for
MrSlick dude same and I’ve seen this series twice already 😅
MrSlick, I've seen this show multiple times, and I didn't even try to figure out the acronym until they did. Then I realized what happens at the end of this episode and a light went off in my head.
What?
@@dongxx the name of the episode - I.F.T. stands for what Skyler said at the end - "I fuc*ed Ted."
@@vaclavskopal5143 😳🤯😧😠😤😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Svetoslav B. Great song
“I’m worried about Gus” it’s funny to hear you saying seeing how you had no idea just how dangerous Gus was at this point lol.
Its not a relapse but it’s a very bad idea for someone who’s trying to stay off meth to cook it haha
Loved your music. Church.
If you can recall the last thing Skyler says to Walt in the pilot: "Walt, I don't like it when you don't talk to me. The worst thing you can do is shut me out." And that's exactly what Walt has been doing up until this episode. Skyler is obviously one of the more moral characters on the show, save for some moments of selfishness under the stress she's been under, but the fact of how absent Walt has been to her throughout the series, I think her affair with Ted was a long time coming. Is it the smartest move on her part? I don't think so. Does it feel right? No. But she feels immense hurt by Walt, so I understand her in this moment. It's easy to feel more for Walt since he's the main protagonist.
And still, even if it's through misguided intentions, Skyler having an affair in no way compares to cooking meth and killing people. You can say it's all for the family, but keep in mind, Gretchen and Elliot offered to pay for Walt's treatment (and then some) for the work at Gray Matter that he's rightfully earned. If family was Walt's main concern, he would have swallowed his pride rather than employ himself in a dangerous criminal underworld. Man, I love how much this show makes you think.
You hit the nail on the head 🔨.
That’s so well stated.
You don't have to be on anyone's side for this situation. They're both very wrong and they're not doing it out of necessity.
well i don't "hate" her like i hated carmella from sopranos. But Syler is very hypocrit and childish. She knows DEEP INSIDE THAT she has no choose , the future without walkt either would be A living in bare conditions almost beggining for money for all her friends and B marring some rich guy and relly on his "foundness over her" to pay for everything she and her kids need. now tell me how is that a future! She knows her husband pretty well and to think that he did that to get money for ALL main outgoings they will get in live is something honorable specially when he was about to die. and what she does? tells the lawyer, and fucks her boss just to "piss him off
@@dark3rthanshadows man your english hurt me
I used to call The Cleaner "Mr. Wolf" - from Pulp Fiction. But I like "Mr. Clean" a lot. Bald guy. Cleans up messes. Nice. (By the way, you can count on one hand the male characters in this show that are NOT bald.)
Walt Junior, Jesse, Tuco, Gus, Dodger and Skinny Pete?
You've got some freakish hands dude ;)
@@Hugh.Manatee Dodger 😂😂 lol
@@Hugh.Manatee Tuco and Gus barely have any hair, no idea what Skinny Pete has under that hat, and one of those characters is soon gonna be shaving their head completely - also who on earth is Dodger?
@@StormBorn1611 Sorry, Badger... =D
victorsixtythree Keitel was so entertaining as Mr. Wolf.
Using a machete on Machete!
Fuck. I was gonna say that.
1st thing I thought of.
But consider this, y’all- if Skyler hadn’t done what she did, Holly and Walter Jr. would’ve been in the house when the twins showed up. Her maternal instinct was right
I like how Marie's batshit insane wild guesses are actually 100% correct. lol
2:53 Ouija is actually a board game sold by Hasbro, with the name being trademarked in the late 19th century. It was used for party games for many years, with the instructions stating that players are contacting their "inner selves" and it wasn't associated with ghosts and the supernatural until it appeared in the 1970s movie The Exorcist. So it's not that unlikely that one of the former residents would have brought it with them to play at the retirement home.
Every Toy R Us in the US sold them for 40 years in the board game section
It's only in recent years young people started acting so weird about them. There are tens of thousands of them on people's game shelves, in closets around the country.
I think it was a good thing that Jane's phone number finally got disconnected. Jesse needs to MOVE ON.
Still, he must have been heartbroken
Right, I mean we've all been there, junkie landlord side piece dies next to you, but there's plenty of fish in the sea, Thailand, Czech Republic...
@@RobertMorgan tell EM Saul.
“Is he trying to get himself suspended” -Steven 😦 wow, I’ve watched this show several times and he caught something on the first run that I never did!
Steve has guessed perfectly at the perfect time more than Kreskin would have. Steve has seen the series before.
Watching these are like when you make one of your friends watch a show youve rewatched 5 times already.
I may not love Skyler as a character, but never, not for one moment have I felt the hate for her that so many people did. Yes, what we see from her in this episode is not taking the high road. Far from it. But let's not forget, good intentions or not, Walt is a criminal and a murderer. I actually thought it was pretty damn generous of Skyler to promise her silence on the condition of a divorce. And now, she effectively feels like a hostage in her own home because of yet another piece of generosity: protecting her son from the truth, which of course tragically fuels more of Walt Jr.'s own resentment towards her. Awful situation all around.
i fucked ted
Fuck Skyler
How can you not hate her when she smoked while being pregnant AND still smoking near the baby. Christ, Holly is probably going to get cancer like Walt....
Smoke MK I genuinely hope you seek the professional help you most desperately need 🙏
The people who outright hate Skyler are people who have a serious inability to emphasize with other peoples' situation, can only understand things in terms of simplistic Disney-esque _good vs evil_ and hate Skyler simply because she is at odds with the person the show presents as the protagonist. It's the same deal with people who hate Hank and people who hate Chuck in BCS.
I saw an interview with Vince Gilligan himself (who was very much sympathetic to Skyler) where he, on the topic of why so many fans hated Skyler, discussed Skyler's behavior. He described her as being completely powerless, since her desire to protect her children prevented her from doing anything against Walt. A fact Walt exploited. She was in a helpless situation and the only thing she could think of to stand up for herself was to insult Walt by cheating on him. It had nothing to do with trying to get Walt to want a divorce.
It's kinda sad how Gilligan's whole premise for the show, which was to see a protagonist turn into the villain, is completely lost on many of the show's fans. The fact that so many people still root for Heisenberg by the second half of season 5 is almost a little scary.
There are so many moments this season that I can not wait to see you guys get to. This is where the show starts to get absolutely crazy
Lol, you guys are still underestimating how dangerous the business Walt is in. There were literally axe murderers in his home in the last episode. I do think it's interesting that you guys point out that pissing Walt off is a bad thing to do but still come to the conclusion that Skyler is doing the worse thing here. No judgment on that. It's just interesting to see the show work.
This is a very underrated episode. It's remembered for I.F.T., but it has very good scenes and sets things up.
👨👨📱💰🍕 Nice Chewie mask Steven. :) Skyler cheated on Walt in a legal sense, but as far as she's concerned, the relationship is over (she kicked him out, and he came back). Walt won't agree to the divorce, and she's not willing to rat him out for Walt Jr.'s sake, so she had spite sex to attempt to push Walt into wanting a divorce. No bluff this time. She's losing it obviously. "I fucked Ted" is one of my favorite lines of the whole series.
I read it more as Skyler taking a bit of control away from Walt. Like, she desperately wanted Walt out of the house, and him just saying “FU I’m staying” made her say “FU I’m F’ing my boss”.
I’m not saying it was a good look for her, bud.
It's fine to call Hector "Tio". It is what his family members call him
I.F.T. Irritating Family Troubles
movieman175 It stands for I Fucked Ted lmao
I've found that a not small portion of the people who watch BrBa, get down on Skylar for the choices that she makes and while I don't think she is angel by any means, I think the hatred and the almost equating of her sins to Walts to be disproportionate in the extreme.
She is trying to protect her children from a meth manufacturer, and I'm not convinced it should matter that it happens to be her husband and the kids father. Walter White is selfish! The anti-hero to beat all others, for sure but I have never felt sympathy or empathy towards him. Walt is the bad guy in this play, no ifs ands or buts. And I love him for it, I do. But I feel like Skylar deserves to be treated a little better. Oh, and this was not a dig at you guys... just an observation I wanted to share and it works for this particular episode 😊
I wouldn't exactly call Walter the bad guy, everyone is literally making a move on him first, if Walt was the bad guy he would start ordering hits on rival drug dealers plus he would have gotten rid of Jesse a long time ago.🤣
Plus Skylar isn't protecting shit, she is delusional if she actually thinks she could protect her kids by separating from Walter.🤣
You're allowed your opinion of the best show ever, and I'm allowed mine!
@@serenity4eva89 what i stated about walt isn't a opinion it's a fact. Krazy 8 tried to kill walt, tuco tried to kill walt, jessie was in charge of distribution and is responsible for the streets, not walt. If he didn't like it jessie could of told walt I'm out and walt couldn't do shit. Jessie let jane know about the business that she later used to black mail walt. She was ready do destroy him so why would Walter save her life? Later on jesse made things worse by starting a war. Does Walter have problems? Yes he does, but to completely blame him and call him the bad guy is just plain ignorant and not seeing the bigger picture. Walt is just reacting from the actions of others.🤣
I'm not going to argue with you about this, that's not my style. Look, I'm glad you have your way of seeing the series but it is just THAT, a brilliant TV series. I'm sure both of us have better things to do with our lives... than this. Have a great weekend, Hector.
I don't hate Skyler at all. I'm on her side. Her saying "IFT" just hit Walt like a ton of bricks and he finally understood how he has been making her feel up to this point. All the lying, the sneaking around, leaving her in the dark and then carrying on with dinner as if he has done nothing. Karma is a bitch.
so she is willing to cover up for the fraud the very boss she fucked but not for her husband? she is not any better than walt
preach. im a skyler supporter to the grave. even people saying "skyler isn't a perfect person but.." like... walt cooks meth and has killed people. skyler had sex with another man while trapped in a marriage she doesn't want to be in. these two aren't comparable

I like to imagine they gave the lady a ride to her house and bought the van. I mean they did give a family a nice car and 2 nice suits
Rewatching BB with you guys makes me realize about Skyler's possition, and I really feel bad for her. And having close family members and even myself, I can understand that feeling of being trapped in your own house by a man. It sucks.
Yet...trapped....walt could have NOT done what he did, and we could have watched her widowed and in six figure debt...
That's the alternative without the meth money.
SHE choose to stay. She had options, far more than he did.
@@RobertMorganand the other options are?
@@RobertMorgan his friends literally offered to pay for his entire treatment in the first couple episodes, what are you talking about she had more options than he did.
Thanks for your awesome reactions :) So far you have been one of the most consistent reaction uploaders in terms of pace and it is/has been a joy to follow your journeys.
It's *very* easy to rationalize bad and evil when we can relate to the character and empathize with them. We feel for Walt and Jesse no matter what they do because we understand their backstory. We don't see anyone else's backstory or get inside their heads, especially the many dead bodies laying in the path for that "dirty" money that Skyler doesn't want on her conscious or to be tied to. She didn't ask for any of this so why should she just accept it because *he* made a choice for her and the family. Is that okay?
This show does a very good job of allowing us to think and see different point of views, if we want to. There are reasons to be pissed at everyone, not just one character because they are not our favorite and still alive. *Cheers*
Skyler doesn't want to be tied to "dirty" money? Then why is she okay with tying herself to Ted's "dirty" money? She's a hypocrite.
@@dante2037 Ted is a whole lot more honest with Skyler than Walt ever has been through the shows runtime. Shes going to be a lot more charitable to the guy when her workplace and her relationship with him are an escape from he hellish family life.
hank was only blowing off some steam in the bar. he was feeling so much pressure. what walt did to the towel dispenser hank did to those two perps.
walt kept pushing skyler and pissing her off and she came back at him with three epic words

Notes from podcast:
(Guests: Director Michelle MacLaren; Dean Norris [Hank]; writer George Mastras)
1. dedication at the end to casting director (who was with them since the pilot) Shari Rhodes, who played the character at Bingo in the motorized scooter who was killed by the Cousins. She was Spielberg’s casting director, cast Jaws & discovered Reese Witherspoon among other things. She passed from cancer not long after this episode was shot...she hadn’t let anyone know she was out of remission. :(
2. They got the same tortoise for this episode as the other. His name is Otis, bless him. ❤️🐢
3. Dean has a black belt in Tae Kwan Do. He’s been in a movie with Jet Li, and got the same feeling from him as with Keith Jardine in the bar scene, that they could easily kick your ass if they wanted to (though they’re super nice)
4. Giancarlo Esposito (Gus) doesn’t really speak Spanish! They got him Rosetta Stone 😆
5. Vince & Michelle are very much on Skyler’s side/in support of her.
I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or if this podcast ep is just kinda boring, but it was a hard one for me to get through. I kept realizing I hadn’t been listening and having to go back 10 minutes! I’m sure I missed a couple things.
Thanks for the info!!
I play your videos on the background while I cook dinner and bake. It's soooo comforting.
Okay the first time I watched Breaking Bad, I HATED Skylar.
This time.... I think I understand her a bit more.
She fucked Ted in order to feel like she had ANY control or power over her own life. AND she got to hurt Walter, which she really wanted to do for how badly he's hurt her and trashed their marriage. She wanted to stop being the victim and start being in control of something. AND she got laid. AND she is testing her own ability to be "bad" (break bad?) because on some level, she realizes that if she is going to live with Walt, she'll have to come down to his level in some ways. Otherwise she is just the victim who is trapped.
Walt kind of deserved it. But as Steven points out, this is unlikely to help the situation in the long run.
Put yourself in Skylar’s shoes. No matter why Walt has done what he’s done, he betrayed her. He’s not the man he was. Now, she’s betrayed him, but she has been devastated by all of this and she’s afraid and she feels backed in the corner. Judging her isn’t fair when you think about AAAALL of Walt’s transgressions. Has she killed someone? Has she put crystal meth on the streets? No, it’s all her HUSBAND’s doings. I really see Skylar as a victim here. Maybe she hasn’t made the best decision by having an affair but she’s hardly the bad guy here.
My Chinese takeout arrived as I got this notification! Perfect timing
Perfect timing would've been when 1080p is ready but definitely nice nonetheless.
Ideal situation, tbh. Hope it was good, love ❤️
Ugh lucky you. Here I am eating dry buscuits
i hate u. im on a 10 day only water and fruit and u just made me super hungry for sushi.
I enjoyed a tri-tip sandwich with onion rings and a root beer before this! 😊🥪🥤
I, like you guys, was blind to how manipulative and evil Walter really is on my first watch of the show. But I would really hope you guys try even a little to see it from Skylar’s POV. Walter has changed/done so much from Season 1 and now because his actions have personal consequences he wants to suddenly go back to the doting father and husband? Its terrible. Skylar has been there the whole time, pregnant and scared with a husband with cancer, with money troubles, with a disabled teenage son... like c’mon she is by no means perfect but don’t let your walter shades blind you.
Walt is a POS but to be clear Skylar chose one criminal over another in this episode considering what Ted is doing at this point. From the start she manipulated Walt into doing the chemotherapy despite his choice to want to die. She made Walt have to revisit the old wounds with his former friends that became rich off his work that made him the miserable pathetic guy he was. She was already flirting with Ted before deciding that she had had enough of Walt. Then there's just tormenting her children, not allowing her crippled son to see his dad and smoking with and around her newborn child. She deserves being disliked!
@@SweetSoulBrother0 she doesnt. you're an idiot
@@SweetSoulBrother0 No she doesn't. She just fucked him, he was the only one who ever wanted it to go further. In a way she used him, and I don't think their crimes and what they have done (Walter vs Ted) are very comparable at this point. One is much more dangerous for her family than the other. This is truly some selective viewing, blaming Skylar while she's done no one any actual harm and is pregnant while put in one of the worst situations imaginable. Only he is trying to build an empire on the blood and suffering of others.
@@SweetSoulBrother0 fax
@@SweetSoulBrother0 what is Ted guilty of? Misreporting his business financial status? The only bad in that situation is that she'd be liable if things were uncovered, that situation is no where near comparable to Walt's unless you see all crime as equal. The situation with her convincing Walt wasn't manipulation also, nor from hey perspective was it a horrible thing, since without Walt they'd lose their home, shed lose her husband and get children would lose their father and they'd be out of luck financially since she couldn't support all the if them, Walt mentions this same thing in this episode, do of course she wouldn't be okay with hey husband dropping dead within a few months time... She also had no clue about Walt's 'old wounds' with his friends, that from the sound of it, HE caused by walking out on Grech. Not to mention that revisiting old wounds and facing his proud is a lot more preferable to him getting into drug dealing, ruining hundreds of people's lives, murdering people, leaving his wife and child to wonder where TF he was for MONTHS and inviting dangerous people into his life that could harm him and his family. Protecting his proud is top priority in your mind though, right? While also believing she shouldn't care about her own. She was flirting with Ted when she believed Walt was cheating on her with Grech. Flynn also wouldn't be mad at his mother or want to see his dad if he found out he was a drugging dealing, manipulative and egotistical murderer. He wouldn't be able to see his children at all if he were in jail, but she's willing to put up with the disrespect from her child she's taking care of and her family so Walt doesn't end up in prison and so her children don't hate they're father and know he's a horrible man. How to you walk away from the this show and have that perspective? I'm blown away
If you can’t fire him, make him want to quit.
"That door won't close because Walt won't let it" Walt poured his heart out about all the illegal things he did. That wasn't heart warming. She made it known she wasn't okay with him being a criminal. She took care of him after his surgery for weeks even though she knew he was a pathological liar. She waited until he was well enough to be on his own to leave him. She refuses to let her son think ill of his father and is taking all the blame from him for the separation. When there were literally axe murders in the house last episode because of Walt. She was trying to divorce him and he was forcing himself back into her life. They would be separated if Walt would grant her the divorce. The only reason it's considered cheating is because Walt won't let her out of the marriage. I really don't blame Skyler at all. She was pushed to her limit by Walt. Walt thought he could just forcibly move back in, show her a bag of money, and everything would be okay. I'd snap too if I were her.
Mandy yet all these numbskulls say that she’s just a dirty cheater. It’s just Vince Gillian’s mental conditioning from episode 1
I see what you’re saying but I think the show runners wrote this show with the intent of making skylar unlikable. They could have written it in a way where she stopped paying the house bills, saved her money and found a 2 bedroom apartment for her and kids in order to be away from him. They didn’t write it that way though; instead they wrote her doing something deliberately only to hurt Walt in the most emotionally devastating way possible without solving any of the problems she professes to care about.
They wrote her to be a vengeful not sympathetic...to me at least.
Skylar can force divorce. It only takes one person to push it. She can get the house. Get a court order through legal separation, to have Walt removed. She chose not to do that. That is on her. The moment she did not proceed with the separation, she obligated herself in the marriage. She cheated. Her intention was to hurt Walt. Walt never intended to hurt any of them. She is completely in the wrong. She is accountable for her choices. Period. She is even using Ted. How whesome is that?
He also nearly raped her early on. He’s being a controlling, manipulative predator. It feels so oppressive to me when I watch the show from her POV.
She is feeling like he’s taken away any power she had within their life & their marriage, so she exerts the bit she has, over her own body, to show him a piece of the hurt he’s caused her. Totally understandable.
M3 Driver They didn’t. They said on the podcast that they’re on her side.
just for the record, I worked in a "nursing facility", we had a Ouija board
those things are everywhere
There are so many parallels to this show that I don't notice until the umpteenth time, like this episode both Walter and Jesse get to move back in to their old homes, albeit against the wishes of others.
You guys reactions are reminding me how good these shows are. It’s cool seeing cool people react to cool shows the same way I did. Looking forward to seeing you guys react to Thrones too. Good form guys.
Okay but I totally see why Skylar did what she did. She spent the entire season plus upset because of Walter and lost the only bit of power she had in setting boundaries when Walter forced himself back into the home. It didn't matter what excuse Walter had planned, full of repressed rage, Skylar decided to get some power back in the relationship and she took the most savage action she could think of that could one up Walter in world-altering secrets. A purely emotional and human act of vengeance.
You'll get a taste of what 'The Cleaner's' about in the next episode. It's a good one.
"I see everything you do when I edit this" 😂
Please make an eye roll compilation!
Skylar needed a win over Walt. He humiliated her the entire episode, the police scene for example is pure mental torture for her. She needed to give him something back to throw his smug demeanour off. Walt's awful awful decisions and terrible attitude aren't excused because he claims it's all for the family. He has a way of rationalising all his awful decisions, like in the season opening where he downplays the terrible effects of the plane crash because he doesn't want to admit it's as bad as it is. Skylar's under immense stress, and her husband is not the same man she married. As much as he claims to have the family's best interests in mind, Skylar IS his family, and he's still tormenting her for his own ego and pride.
I think a lot of Walt's character boils down to him needing control, and he's very controlling over Skylar, making her feel powerless - so I think she just needed to get some control back in her life. I'm not saying she's perfect, in a way she is quite similar to Walt because of this, since she's fighting fire with fire. Their relationship can be seen as a series of attempts to try and get control over the other one. I'm just trying to explain a bit of her motivations :) love the reactions
Exactly!
Hear, hear x
Walt is the man! Everything he did was the right thing!
Acting out of spite is undignified.
Jorgino it’s like Walt beating her at a video game and she responds by using a cheat code to win. No skills in that.
When we moved into this house there was a bunch of stuff left behind in the basement. including some old board games...and a ouija board. But I've seen enough horror movies to know to toss that baby out
Ouija board is actually just a play around thing but alright.
Skylar is trapped in a house with a monster. She can’t turn to her family, she can’t turn to the law. You want her to just be his maid?
How is she his maid, he’s not making her do stuff
Holly shit.. re-watching breaking bad with you guys after watching Better Call Saul is mind-blowing!!! Realizing how much Saul had to do with the motivations and the development of these two.. almost like a puppet master behind everything, insane.
Wdym . you mean mike and gus ?
i wonder if skylar's lawyer is going to be one of many connections between breaking bad's timeline and better call saul's timeline.... what if she's actually kim's partner in breaking bad's timeline? only kim's character didn´t exist yet and that's why we don´t see her here.
I adore how you two are such a perfect couple that you actually don't know how domestic issues like this work. It's wholesome
I love these reactions can’t wait to see you react to the rest of the show.
You guys recognized Keith Jardine. That's so cool. I always get excited when Fighters show up in movies, and TV shows.
You guys should react to the movie The Negotiator. It's got actors in it back then who were nobody but you will recognize today because of TV shows like The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.
16:19 idk why but Tio spamming the bell has me laughing everytime
She wanted to hurt Walt. Realistically, that was the only way she had to do it that wouldn't blow back on anyone else.
But why did Skylar want to hurt Walt so much? I never understood her point of view, because everything he was doing was for her and their children. Remember, he was dying from cancer, and he had nothing to leave them, so he got desperate. I never understood why she hated him so much for it. She comes across as the kind of woman where if Walt had jumped in front of a bullet meant for her, she would still be pissed because he got blood all over her nice new blouse. Totally ungrateful bitch.
@@spirittammyk Only if doing that was illegal. It seems to me that she has a real bug up her butt regarding things which might put her in legal jeopardy. Same thing happens with Ted.
@@Zartoo_3rd_Overlord_ofBlargon7 But yet, she is totally careless with her kids when she decides to smoke when she is pregnant and when her baby is in the same room. Cheating is also a dangerous thing to do. What if Ted's kids were crazy and went after Skylar and her family for messing with their dad? I've seen it so many times when kids will go after the girlfriend/mistress when their dad is rich because they are afraid the woman is a gold digger coming to take everything away.
Wouldn't blow back on anyone else? Did you not watch the following episode where Walt shows up to Skyler’s job to confront Ted and her coworkers put 2 and 2 together?
@@spirittammyk plus shes helping his boss cheat the company lol hypocrite much
I get where Nikki's coming from - and Skyler's certainly not a perfect person, by any means - but she's being slowly robbed of any agency over her own life. Alright, her husband didn't STEAL the money....but he's "earning" via a highly illegal activity that she's powerless to get him to stop, clearly; she has no legal ability to even have him removed from the home; she doesn't want their son to find out because it would wreck him. She has so little power over anything that's happening to her. Sleeping with Ted was something she could do and know that it would hurt the man who's controlling her life. Was that a well-considered thing to do? Certainly not. But it does give her SOME kind of control over SOMETHING.
People give Skylar shit for what she did, but it's nothing compared to Walt's crimes. The burden she has to carry because of Walt's actions go unnoticed by Walt; he talks about the sacrifices HE'S had to make, completely oblivious to what she's going through. She couldn't rat him out, but she also wanted him to pay for what he has put him through, so she did it the only way she was able to.
*put her through

@@snow35340 I know your real name, get out of here Cersei of the house Lannister!
She’s commuting adultly with a man she’s helping get away with tax evasion. Skyler isn’t innocent by any means.
@@Dularr technically she has all the right, but she isn't willing to confess. it's a very uncomfortable situation
This was the moment where everyone became anti-Skylar lol. Props to Anna Gunn, she's a great actress
Guys, people used to smoke and drink while preggers, was it the best thing, no, but it is what it is. In the air which we all breathe there is plenty of really bad shit, just not as concentrated as a cigarette. We survived, it's about prolonged exposure, not a singular acute incident.
24:20 YES THANK YOU FOR GETTING IT. So many ppl assume skylar is doing this jUST to hurt Walt, and while thats certainly part if it and shes not exactly a good person for cheating, that's... kinda the whole point. She WANTS to get Walt to hate her so he STOPS TRYING TO COME BACK. I didnt pick up on this when i first watched the show, admittedly, but then again i was 14. Y'all's commenters in y'all's 30s not picking up on this plot thread need to catch up on how to write complex and dislikable characters
🤦♂️ Me after reading comments and finding out the meaning of IFT (I F**d Ted)
We did the same thing when my sister in law passed. We listened to her voicemail until her mom turned it off.
What if it was M.F.T and Hank came at her with a bazooka.
These two kids are nuts for each other. Warms the heart.😏
Joining the Sklyar hate train, I see.... You have company among the fans in that one...
Walter put his family in danger. Murdered people. There were assassins - in their house.
Skylar, after trying to break up with Walter, after NOT telling the police or Hank or Walt jr. about him tom protect the family, which does indeed make her look like the crazy bad spouse in all of this, cheats on him. She doesn't even LIE to him like he did to her, she does it to make him leave and stop endangering his family.
I'm on Team Skylar - intentions be damned, she never did anything one tenth as bad for the family he did.
She's all up in his ass before there's really any reason to be. Snoopy Skylar. I mean, fucking someone else for the sole purpose to get back at someone..... lol That's dumb. How are the courts going to look at that? :P Making idle threats to boot. Lay it out if you want...but she flinched there, no college for her children. No house. No cars. All that shit would get seized. If she has any proof, beyond Walt's word. If she does spill the beans, which may or may not happen, pretty sure Hank might be all over it. (worded in a way to try to keep it less spoilery)
That's because these fans can never see where's anybody is coming from except Walter like Skylar's not justified in anything she does but Walter is justified in everything he does.
@@Napalm38382 Snoopy Skylar? Are you kidding me? Apparently trust and transparency doesn't matter in a marriage.
Exactly!!!! She's literally been lied to by her husband for weeks who is a METH dealer. God only know how much trouble he's invited into their home. I don't give a fuck that Walter did it with good intentions. The body count is literally mounting, Skyler asked for a divorce and continued to protect Walt for the sake of her family and yet she's some how still the bad guy.
@@emilyaustin4783 I get the feeling she kept tabs on him all the time. He's not doing that to her. Now, after the point of the second cell phone, and*69'ing calls, fine, but why *69 in the first place? You know, the trust part.:P
She's the cheating bitch, so naturally suspects Walt of cheating. Maybe she smoked a lot during her first pregnancy, that's why Walt Jr is fucked up.
Nursing homes would have a ouji board just for that situation. Many people end up in the nursing home just because they get to that level of dependence.
I just realized I.F.T stands for ‘I Fucked Ted.’ 👯 🍕 📱 💵
I had to go run some weekend errands but i wanted to hear the end of your after show discussion first - so I clicked on 1.5x speed. Brilliant!
"I know but, DAMN!".
Skyler wanted to hurt Walt, that's why she decided to cheat on him. Women do tend to be more passive aggressive about how they decide to hurt someone else.
Rather than directly going against the guy they will damage the guy's car or property or even cheat on them like Skyler did. Maybe it's with a stranger but it could also be with a friend of his. Whatever is available that will cause him more pain.
On point. That's why I follow future
Just watched this episode. I was thinking to myself, the next time me and her spoke alone I'd have been like, do you know the people I know? Yet, you dragged him into this, I will make sure he never takes another breath if you can't keep your legs closed.
I love how fans just never want to see it from Skylar's point of view as if Walt has been an angel this whole time and has never put Skylar through anything. It's like you all forget what Walt has put this woman through. Considering most of us have seen how this show ends, that excuse of he just does it all for his family doesn't cut it.
At this point in the show , I don't like Skylar a bit .
@@melissakessler4323 put yourself in her shoes. think about all she has been through and what she knows (and she doesn't even know all of it yet). you're telling me you wouldn't respond exactly like her if not MORE furiously?
@@Digger581 All he did was lie and evade her? Really?! As if lying and evading aren't terrible things in relationships anyway. And these were HUGE lies. But she knows the payments for his treatment were made, without Gretchen's help (another big lie that someone else was forced into), and she knows his finances, which means aside from the lying and evading, he's into something REALLY shady to come up with that kind of cash. That money didn't just come from nowhere. She's not dumb. If you were her, you would react just the same, if not worse.
@@jamesliggins891 well you know lying and evading isn't a big deal in relationships according to these comments. Constantly lying, constantly avoiding her, and he makes her feel stupid the 1st time when she tried to confront him. You know how much stress she was under worrying about this man and whatever he's doing while she's pregnant. How is she suppose to feel?
Who's this Skylar person? I keep hearing about this person over the internet but there's no character in breaknig bad called Skylar. Weird.
Skylar said that with good intentions too, hoping it would actually get him out of the house. she knows he's dangerous
Hypocrite Skyler arc begins. I'm mad at you for being a criminal so I'll go have an affair with a criminal and help him cook books
well she does help walt later with the car wash and money laundering etc
Your Majesty Are you married with children? Just wondering. Or actually did you marry a law abiding citizen who turned around after years of marriage turned into a major criminal, and if so, did you have children with that person? Just wondering.
What a dumb and irrelevant line of questioning.
@Джесси Хайзенберг First of all, rude. Second, I never said she was a blameless victim. Pretty sure I said just the opposite. I think you're a bit confused.
@Джесси Хайзенберг uh what? You need to study English, I don't think you understood AT ALL what he said.
Trivia, Keith Jardine and Bryan Cranston went to the same HS.
You gotta ask, do Walt’s “good intentions” excuse his behavior and affects on everyone else? Remember Elliot offered to take care of everything in season 1.
No. But it doesn't excuse how Skyler handles it either.
He did it to take care of his family. Whether that is good or bad he did it because he loved them and wants to care for them. She did that to hurt Walt. Skyler of all people should not be trying to hurt Walt or the rest of her family. There are other people out there that have a good reason to go after Walt but not Skyler. I'm not saying she needs to stay with Walt either but she doesn't have to handle it the way she did. That was just being cruel. Walt isn't being cruel to them.
Nope , but none of that excuses Skylar's adultery .
El Jefe another way to look at it is Skyler is trying to protect her family from Walt. He is endangering them, in this episode a couple of murderous dudes with an axe were in their house! Walt doesn’t seem to understand that he’s putting them his family in a bad position and to Skyler, the only option she sees at this point is to drive him away somehow. That’s how she keeps her kids safe from Walt. Now I’m not saying Skyler is totally in the right and Walt is totally in the wrong, but that it’s super complicated and everyone has their justifications!
@@J-Nigma If he really wanted to protect his family, he wouldn't be involved in a business where he put his entire family in danger and killers and assassins are literally showing up at their home.
The philosophical question underlying the show that applies to all decisions in life, "Does the ends justify the means"? And also, "Is collateral damage an excusable byproduct for an end even if that damage is casualties and victims"? And one more that extends from that: the argument of "The good of the many" as the end? How can we be certain that "the many" will truly benefit? And how do we know that they deserve it if they did not earn it at other peoples' expense where innocent victims will be part of the collateral damage? Why not use critical thinking to come up with a better solution rather than arrogantly think one has all of the right answers?
Nikki you crack me up, that is why I love watching ya'll. You too Steven, but Nikki's non verbal's are awesome!!
Don't worry about the Tio business lol if you spent time with me and my uncle you would never know his actual name.
Really really enjoying these reactions. Keep it up!
I don't blame Skylar. She feels trapped & has no control over anything in her life except at work, so sleeping with her boss is the only way she can really show protest & hurt Walt. Also I feel like Walt's ego hasn't only put his wife in an extremely stressful situation but he's pretty much stopped being an active father to Flynn...and put all his affection & energy into Jesse.
Cheating is always the cheaters fault regardless of the justification or rationalization.
That's almost as bad as 'having a baby to save our relationship'.
“My Clean” is a “Ray Donovan” kind of character.
Machete on Machete violence...When will it end???
I'm only just now years later getting the irony of the actor who played Machete being killed with a machete 😂
It took me a few seconds to figure it out!! IFT clever
Ouija is used primarily for Hector to communicate
I personally never did like Skylar, so I am with you guys not liking what she did. Walt did nothing to personally hurt her in anyway. What she did was selfish on her part. I really think she was already distancing herself from Walt when she learned he had the cancer, and was preparing a new front. She was already flirting with Ted way before she knew about Walt's side business when she was singing him Happy Birthday. And let's not pretend she is some innocent person, we caught her smoking while she was pregnant, and then again with her new born baby in the same room. It's showing a pattern with her being totally self absorbed and not caring about anyone but herself.
Kind of like her sister lol must run in the family
hahaha damn..that chewie scared the shit out me at the end xD hahaha
Of all this mayhem you conclude that the WOMAN is the one that's EVIL?? Ohh, poor MAN.. he who has being doing all the bad things with GOOD intentions. smh. I expected more from both of you. Let's say.. a less judgmental, more open-minded analysis. But I'll keep watching. The things I do for a pretty face. Steven's face that is.
Just catching up. Love that you recognized Keith Jardine!
WALT MADE HER FEEL HELPLESS BY COMING BACK AND HER NOT BEING ABOE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ! SLEEPING WITH TED WAS HER ONLY WAY TO HURT WALT AND MAKE HIM FEEL HELPLESS !!!! I totally understnd her side of story , What Sjylar Did was the only Relief for her to project her frustrations!! I mean I get it and accept what she did ! The mental torture of not being able to tell even the police and the way Walt just came back saying I have right and she couldn’t do anything about it , She need to vent out to feel better and this was her way to Take control and make Walt feel like shiiit , It’s a tough to swallow and Messed up situation but it is what it is !!
Uh even with doing her boss and smoking near the baby, Skyler still hasn't done anything as bad as Walt lol I mean come on, he's a complete idiot to think he was going to heal anything, coming back to the house like that.
I'm sorry, he has been lying to her face and living a double life for weeks of not months now while she played the loving dotting wife. She asked for a divorce and kicked him out, and he wouldn't let her leave. He made her his hostage. Good for Skyler for taking back her autonomy.
When Skyler told Walt "welcome home" after the cops left, I heard the furnace kick on...
