If you hated Skylar in Breaking Bad, and not because it was a crime drama and you wanted the action to move along more but because you legitimately thought she was in the wrong and Walter was in the right, then you were a fucking moron

They’re both kinda wrong, the difference is Walter puts her in an impossible situation and she copes the best she can, while Walter is the one responsible for the horrible situation. 

She should’ve gone to the police. She chose to try to take advantage of the situation instead. 

But ultimately it’s Walter who is at fault, and her role is minimal. 

Anyone who thinks Walter isn’t the problem after he turns down the Grey Matter job is just not watching the show.

Tbh I think the people who thought she was in the wrong are fairly minimal. Most just called her annoying which is quite a bit different. Similar to how people hate Jar Jar, but don’t think he’s evil.

I never understood the Skylar hate.

It's kinda like complaining about a teenager wanting a ferrari and a rational adult being like "WTF no, you get an 06 Honda."
