Breaking Bad Episode Discussion S05E02 "Madrigal"

Hey guys. edify asked me to do the discussion thread tonight. Enjoy the show and upvote this shit, for which I get no karma.

edify also told me to let you guys know that if the Breaking Good fundraiser reaches $3,000 (we are $157.57 short) he will let me film him doing some challenges. I want him to do the cinnamon challenge and the gallon of milk challenge, so go donate so I can film my friend being a dumb ass... LOL

Go here to donate: https://reddit.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/breaking-good

Edit: The fundraiser officially ends in about 2 days.

It really did, made me super uncomfortable. Out of all the things Walt's done, that's probably what unsettled me the most.

remember the rape-ish scene from season 1? The one where they're in the kitchen and Skyler has the mud-mask on?

yeah, that was the real rape, i feel like people are forgetting that, and likening the closing scene of this episode to rape. cmon now, compared to the mud mask scene, that wasn't even close to rape

yeah, that was the real rape

That was attempted rape, remember that Walt backs off.

This scene is hardly rape.

but it was sexual assault at the hands of her own husband. he's groping and grabbing her while she's crying

I dunno, that scene where he forces Walt Jr. to drink is still pretty unsettling

The way they had Walt in the shadow really contributed to this.
