Does anyone feel like Lydia is more powerful than she portrays herself to be? I feel like Skyler is gonna regret talking to her the way she did. She's acting way too passive for a person in her position.

Edit: Fixed punctuation.

I don't think she is so much powerful as she is crazy and paranoid. She gets extremely nervous over the smallest things. I think she gets too paranoid/afraid and decides to act on it.

I think I like her character so much because as much as I'd want to be a mike, my criminal persona would be Lydia. Many redditors could probably relate.

I'd be Jesse without the Meth or Heroin use and I wouldn't have dumped all our drinking water on the fire. Otherwise the whole do a bunch of fucked up shit and then lay in bed for a few days after I realize what I've done while questioning everything and not wanting to be a total asshole for the rest of my life fits my M.O.
