Cranston in Crawl Space and Esposito in Hermanos are good choices, but I don't really like the other acting noms. (well ok, Mark Margolis as guest actor's pretty damn cool). Aaron Paul should've got Problem Dog and Anna Gunn should've got Open House, since they were awesome in those.

So she goes, "that sucks, but I don't really like her". Now, I've never liked Skyler but I never understood why, and earlier in this thread I said it's just the way she looks, and she agreed. She says everyone else in the show is reasonably attractive, she says Walt Jr. is a good looking kid, Walt looks like he was very attractive when younger, etc. but that the producers dropped the ball with Skyler and make it hard to sympathize with her

I introduced my girlfriend to Breaking Bad, and we're up to the beginning of the 2nd season, where Skyler finds out about Walt's second cellphone, and at one point at the end of an episode, Walt goes to kiss her goodnight and she turns away and the episode ends. I see out of the corner of my eye my girl is shaking her head, and I ask "What?"

So she goes, "that sucks, but I don't really like her". Now, I've never liked Skyler but I never understood why, and earlier in this thread I said it's just the way she looks, and she agreed. She says everyone else in the show is reasonably attractive, she says Walt Jr. is a good looking kid, Walt looks like he was very attractive when younger, etc. but that the producers dropped the ball with Skyler and make it hard to sympathize with her.

Keep in mind this is before SFT and her bitchiness afterwards. So it's not just guys who don't like Skyler. I just found it funny that I had never even mentioned the fact that some people don't like Skyler for some reason, she just...felt it. Out of nowhere.

Huh? I've spilt many of my future children over Sky Sky. Dat MILF.
 
I mentioned it before but my mom said she disliked Skyler from the goddamn pilot lol. Had nothing to do with how she looks. Just her general 'tude rubs people the wrong way for some reason. Some people are like that. It's the actions it's the tone of voice it's everything.

Such is life.
 
Starting to become less of a Walt fan - not just who he is as a person, but how he's being written. He went from pretty fucked up but trying to provide for his family to an all-out asshole in the span of a couple weeks. The transition was too quick to be credible for me, so I'm losing interest in him because the writers are hurrying their damndest to make him out to be Head Honcho Evil Asshole and I don't buy it. The fucker is cooking his own meth! Who the fuck at the head of a meth empire actually cooks their own shit? He's not stupid enough to believe that he's a drug kingpin or even close to being one, but the writers are trying their hardest to make it look like it.

I hope the punchline is that the cancer is back and has gone into his brain, which explains his recent bizarre megalomaniac tendencies.

That's kind of been my problem with this season. It would've been one thing if they would have written season 4 Walt as trying to off Gus so he could survive and become public enemy no.1, but they instead wrote themselves into a corner by making it as a means to eliminate the threat. I know there's the "Stay off my turf" scene, and the "One who knocks/I am the Danger" speeches, but it wasn't enough IMO since scenes like that happened so few and far between. Now things are just happening way too fast to be believable and Walt's evil-all-the-time persona seems way out of character.
 
People think Marie is hot?

She is fucking hideous. This might be the first ever television show I've ever watched where there is not a single attractive woman on the show.

Can't tell if Lydia is attractive because of her fucking terrible acting.

I can see how the shifting of gears can seem more pronounced, but I really think it's mostly down to people just having to feel the tipping point and that makes them uncertain. I do think the transition would have been best-served by devoting a full twenty-six episodes, or two BB-standard full thirteen-episode seasons. Once Gus was out of the picture, things are really just following on from his Heisenberg persona shown very early in the series. Until just recently, though, he's been blocked by powerful adversaries. Now, it would feel more unnatural if he didn't go full throttle with his earliest inclinations since his liberation from being just old Walt the chemistry teacher.

What about Jane? And I can see not thinking Marie is hot, but hideous? Come on now.

Jane's face always weirded me out. I was never attracted to the overly pale goth look.

And yes, I think Marie is hideous. I actually felt ill when I saw her cry. It was the most disgusting crying face I've ever seen:

Cornered is totally the right choice for Anna Gunn. First time I started thinking that she might be award-worthy.

Why are we talking about this.
 
Marie isn't hot she has an annoying whiner looking face.

Lydia can be attractive more often than not.

Skylar is alright it depends on the episode.

Jane from season 2 = smoking hot.

I wonder why we don't see Jesse's family anymore. That little brother had potential.

They're holding it back for the spinoff when Jesse goes to Vegas.
