She doesn't think that Walt would like murder her or beat her up or anything. No way. And lololololol at anyone who thinks that Skyler thinks that Walt would react violently to her saying not tonight honey. That's not why she didn't say anything. She didn't say anything because she feels trapped by the person and life that she finds herself in. She doesn't want to be married to a delusional violent drug dealer and she doesn't know how to extricate her from that situation. She's trapped.

Exactly!

What do you think if someone has this take on the situation:

Skyler is depressed. She is scared of what Walt can do. She is not going to rock the boat and she's shut herself down and she's going to comply because she wants to stay alive.

And if every woman who feels trapped in her marriage and doesn't see a way out of it but still puts out for her husband is being raped then....

omg can we stop ****ing talking about it? jfc this thread is overflowing with aids

i hope walt doesnt rape this thread










he'd get aids

I approve.

lol- depending on how you interpret that clip it totally serves both arguments. To me they're obviously talking in very broad terms, but if you think of it as specifically about that moment it's the other way.

So they're writing Skyler as she is scared that Walt is going to like deliberately hurt her if she "rocks the boat"? lol I don't even. That is beyond dumb.

edit: yeah I agree with Dids.

well he did just blowup a dude at a nursing home ,i dont think skylar ever imagined walt would be capable of doing anything remotely close to that

Dominic, you are in Las Vegas, right? Are you familiar with this section of the Nevada Revised Statutes:

?

You need to stop posting in this thread.


Dids! Please use your authority here. If the above is not adequate, please also see this section of the same:


Dominic (and a few others) are in clear violation of this statute with their participation in this thread. Please take appropriate action ASAP. This has now become a public health issue.

A++++++++++++ post.

Is Lydia going to become full partner? Is Mike going to pay her out of his share? Or is she expected to help in return for Mike not killing her?

Will Mike be in to mine just enough gold to compensate his guys and leave enough for his granddaughter? What happens if Mike decides they've made enough money and he wants out? How much will be enough for Walt? Is Walt going to want to 'crank that dial' as well?

What does any of this have to do with whether Walt raped Skyler or not?

True or false, if a butterfly flapped its wings in the forest 1000 years ago, Ted wouldn't have been born.

I think she's more scared of the danger Walt brings to the family rather than Walt directly harming his family or her.

Thread has definitely come down with a bad case of aids. At least that song will never stop being spectacular

There's a difference between cause and responsibility.

I view responsibility as the closest moral agents to an action from happening.

So a few examples:
Plane Crash:
Cause: Jane's Dad screwing up at his job.
Cause of that: Him coming into work unfit
Cause of that: Poor choice by him + Him being distracted by his daughters death
Cause of that: Walt letting her die when he could have saved her
Cause of that: Her threatening Walt + ingesting a large amount of drugs.
Cause of that: Walt being a Dick and Jesse getting her back using
Cause of that: Walt being a dick to Jesse
Cause of that: ....

So we judge how unreasonable her dad's actions were to start. Minor misstep by him, but I think it's a bit understandable.
So we step back and we have Walt with some responsibility there. But we can't stop there. Jane and Jesse have some responsibility for their actions as well.

So we have roughly in my estimation: Her dad: 5%, Walt: 50%, Jane: 35%, Jesse: 10%.

Then we have the Ted situation:

Ted gets paralyzed
Cause: Ted running away
Cause: Thugs in his house holding him hostage
Cause: Saul coordinating it
Cause: Skyler ordering it
Cause: Ted basically stealing the money intended for taxes
Cause: Skyler being a ****** and giving it to him.
Cause: Skyler and Ted cooking the books + Skyler not wanting to get caught for the Meth stuff
Cause: Ted being a dick, Skyler having no spine here, and Walt bringing Skyler into this.

So I view the following responsibility: Ted: 35%, Skyler: 40%, Walt 20%, Saul: 5%

Walt has some say here, Skyler had many outs. Just as Ted had many outs to not get into this situation. Ted's actions don't really justify what happened to him, wheareas Skyler's actions were directly the cause of it. She was reacting to Walt, but she had numerous other steps of her own responsibility where she had other reasonable courses of action.

By your logic, walt has as much as 20% responsibility for a sitution directly created by skyler, through saul who he outsourced to a few men, who you give 0% responsibility, all while walt knew nothing of any of it?

Saul I gave 5%. I view him as a hired gun. I suppose his thugs could have some responsibility too, and maybe it's a tad low. Maybe I excuse them a bit since being immoral for their clients is just kind of what they do. But I could see them having more responsibility in this.

Skylers actions were only needed because of Walt's criminal enterprises.
