    ^don't forget that The Walking Dead has female characters that personify the worst things about women and make you despise them. Lori.... Andrea... And ****ing Karen.

    Jesse is going to realize one way or another that Mike is dead, possibly through Todd.

    Then, he'll link the Brock death back to Walt, remember, he almost killed him until Walt convinced him it was Gus, so he has had his doubts in the past.

    And then, the. game. is. on.

    I think it would completely out of character for Todd to be disloyal to any boss of his, especially Walt.

    I can't see him snitching anymore than any of the Gus crew that Walt had Todd's uncle kill.

    Does Saul know? It was a berry from the lily from the valley, not ricin. And they found that cigarette so I don't think Jesse is really questioning that side of the story.

    Yeah that's why I put "possibly" in there. I don't see Todd snitching as well, however, given that I believe he is in control of the meth production now, and that he is slipping, I could see Walt having beef with him in the future, and making hence a new "enemy". Then again, I might be reaching.

    What we do know is that Hank is gonna keep on Walt's case like White on Ricin.

    Some of the deleted scenes on the DVDs are great. On Season One, they have a scene where he's having to take down his plaques/awards in what used to be his office because they're converting it into the baby's room. I mean, the guy couldn't even have his own office in his house. Then, in another scene, Walt is giving this heartfelt speech at his birthday party when he's interrupted by these police sirens- which is Hank and a group of cops coming down the street and arriving at the party. And in typical Hank fashion, he yells out, "Let's get the REAL party started!" You can see why deep down Walt probably didn't care for him much.

    Yeah I didn't realize how potent the deleted scenes were until I saw the ones for season 3. They add a lot more context to the story/characters motive. You can tell these were cut sincerely due to time restraint whereas most series' deleted scenes are 90% fat being cut off of the meat. Something the creators didn't see or deem pointless until edited together. This show has layers on layers on layers. I ****ing love it.



    Also... Interesting seeing the 3 different birthday entrances:

    Character wise yeah, but i'm talking about strong female characters that can take care of themselves like the ones in TWD. The women in BB are very unstable and can be bi*ches.

    For example when Skyler said "I f***ed Ted", at that point i despised her and i'm sure women especially didn't like her. Great acting tho.

    and...

    Rick and Merle are very likable characters IMO.

    I think the greatest shows and films have those layers. Films that achieve these layers would be Taxi Driver, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Apocalypse Now, and Vertigo, to name a few. Television? I would say this show, The Shield, The Wire, The Rockford Files (in-depth for a detective show), X Files, All in the Family- I think more shows are getting better at this now.

    Couldn't disagree more. Never got the Skylar hate. Her husband ****ing became a drug dealer and started asking her to launder money. People demonize her, even though she's been incredibly strong.

    Skylar pretty much owns And controls Walter until he gets deep in the meth business. She was pushy, demanding, and wouldn't even let the man make his case when he first learned of his illness. She brought in her sister and Hank, of all people, to pressure Walter into chemo and when they sided with Walter's request that he be able to own and control this one decision in his life, after feeling he had no control over the rest of his life, Skylar throws a fit.

    After he relents and is acting strange, she pouts and acts vindictive without any sympathy.

    She is a very special foil to the anti-hero. She seeks to rightfully foil his drug endeavors, but at the same time her domineering, and belittling approach towards him as someone not in control of his life and actions prods Walter on.

    At least that is why I harbor dislike for her character. And that is before the hypocrisy of her actions and the Ted relationship comes into play.

    Things have changed since season one and now Skylar, not Walter, is the spouse caged in the relationship. Walter has transformed and now it may be tough for fans to let go of the old Walt and Skylar for the new ones.
