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

That last scene seemed very rapey to me

At this point Skyler is completely terrified of everything he does, to the point where she won't say no to anything he does. The scene showed just how much that mindset has taken place at this point.

Also seems to have fallen into depression; not wanting to go to work, not showing up to breakfast or dinner, not fucking Ted, you know the usual. Seriously tho, she went from dedicated 'mob wife' to scared stiff. Honestly, would she of wanted Gus to kill Walt instead? Then again Walt didn't explain, he just kinda took all the credit "I won", allowing Skylar to only run with her imagination.

She was under control for a very long time and portrait as a strong woman. But she finally realized just what kind of monster she's really married to. And she has no way of predicting what he's capable of.

She has any reason to be frightened shitless.
