  1. She was actually a great writing exercise in how to make a character who can be hateable but who is also mostly morally correct and arguably the moral center of the show. The reality is that she represents how most rational people would have reacted in her situation. She perfectly portrays the lack of control that she felt in the situation, but BB fanboys hate her because she creates obstacles and stress for the main character they blindly root for. Let women characters be complex assholes just like their male counterparts without being subjected to misogynistic tear downs (I'm still waiting for something like this but it hasn't happened yet).

  6. While I definitely think NFG are more pop punk than MCS, MCS is a better band it literally every way so, this is a fail in my eyes.

  7. This guy once had pot leaf inlays on his bass, so he’s cool by me. MCS should have been disqualified from the start based on their singer’s haircut alone. Looks like he’s trying to be a poor man’s Static-X singer

  11. i haven't seen the entire series yet, relax. from what i've seen so far, Skyler is a great character, and Anna Gunn is a brilliant actress. i was more referring to me reading through reddit discussion threads after watching episodes and seeing sexist comment after sexist comment, from Breaking Bad fans who seem less into the complex moral themes the show explores / asks questions about and more into idolizing Walt as a hardened badass and hating on anyone who gets in his way. the hate mail and death threats Casey mentioned are what i was talking about, not the choices she makes in the show that lead to discussions about her character in relation to Walt.

  13. I think Walt became such an anti-hero that he became an icon for edge lords. It goes even farther than this. The actress who plays Skyler was getting hate mail and death threats. Absolutely absurd people can't even distinguish fiction from reality.

  14. Fun times everybody! I think the final two were definitely worthy. Even though I voted for MCS, I've loved both of these bands very much in my life. NFG didn't have staying power for me personally over the years, but they are certainly the more "pop punk" between the two and their classic albums are definitely still great for nostalgia.

  15. Her character the antithesis and a threat to Walt's anti-hero story arc. Walt isn't a hero in this story, the entire point of this show was the loss of morality and the blurring of lines of what becomes acceptable in society when faced with an impossible choice. Walt goes into his way of life as a means to ensure the survival of his family in a future that, because of his diagnosis, he would not be a part. Hank is also the antithesis to Walt but his character is sympathetic in the way that he is the righteous character of the show to a fault (as it would and should be portrayed as in a story like this) and he stays that course, even up to his last scene when he stands against Walt despite Walt's begging of him to give in. Skylar's character is great in the beginning, she's a sympathetic and loving wife who is oblivious to what Walt is doing. The change is when she finds out and takes the moral high ground while holding Walt Jr. and their family over Walt's head. Which ... fine, whatever but this is the story of an anti-hero ... it's not a traditional herculean tale. It's flipped on it's head, the story is meant to be right is wrong and wrong is right. In the end, despite still putting herself up on a moral high ground and preaching, she becomes complicit to Walt's criminal activity. She willingly accepts the benefit from Walt's enterprise and even furthers it. She has every opportunity to turn Walt in but she shows her true colors and accepts her role. Its this back and forth which is meant to be grating and turn you against her. It's not about her being a woman, it's about how the character is written. She isn't the story's main character, she isn't the hero. She is meant to show that, despite our best intentions, humans are capable of being corrupted. She is written to be hated, that's her character arc and, honestly, Anna Gunn played her fucking brilliantly ... I think to say she is hated because she is a woman is a little fucking insulting to the work that Anna Gunn put into the character. The nature of the story is meant to turn the table on conventional story telling ... which is why it focuses on Walt and glorifies his misdeeds in the first place.

  28. Tom really got me into UFOS back in the 2000's. I even became part of a UFO group here in my country and oh boy... We went deep. Like, really deep. And as much as I love Tom and still believe in some form of Alien life, I have found nothing but lies and misunderstandings. I really learned a lot about tooons of crazy phoenomenons tho. I Still have my favorite UFO cases but so far no Aliens proofs. Nowadays I only care about "proofs" not evidences, u'know? Anyway... heres the best video suggesting explanations about the Pentagon UFO videos. I really appreciate the fact that we can have our beliefs (like I do!) but I also love the fact that we can share things like this in this search for Aliens! - (The explanations are more at the end of the video in case you are not thaaat interested in the subject) This is my first post! Sorry if Im breaking some rules already! Cheers!

  32. ah yes, but this was very, very different. this was a video of a person with downs syndrome playing a cover of a blink song on youtube. and someone said, "this is a person i think is stupid playing blink." mocking the real-live human being in that video is way, way worse than saying "that's retarded" when you hear something stupid.

  33. Congrats to New Found Glory. They can now claim their spot immediately after blink and Green Day on the pop punk hierarchy.
