He is finally in a position of power and he likes it. His entire life he was under achieving or playing second fiddle.

He was just that chemistry teacher who got shit on by punk ass students. He's grown a pair and now he's doing the shitting. The amount of fear he has now compared to the amount he had when the show began is vastly different.

So what do you think caused Skyler to "change" between seasons? In Season 4 she was on board with Walt and seemed to be excited about buying the car wash and laudering the money. This season, she hates Walt and is mostly in bed crying. Is it because he said "I won" after killing Fring? That's when she first looked shocked...perhaps that's when she realized what her husband was capable of. However, Fring was threatening to kill her and the kids..she should be happy that walt won. Walt should have told her that the old man was a willing participant and the other victim was an assasin. Is it becasue of what happened to Ted and that Walt didn't seem to care? Perhaps after realizing that they were in danger at the end of last season, she knows that someone else in the game might eventually try to come after her, walt, and the kids.

IMO - she is now in too deep. The fact the father of her children is a killer, jumping back into production with no thoughts of the danger it brings into the house, the fact her brother is DEA and she can't control Walt any longer - the wheels are spinning too fast for her - Walt terrifies her and the thought of her kids (and her) getting whacked overwhelms her...
Long way away from being married to the dorky chemistry teacher...
Again, just my humble opinion

You nailed it Better Dan!

Yeah, I think the fact that her husband blew up a drug lord might have opened her eyes as to how deep this thing really is.

Yep...that combined with when she saw how fucked up Ted was as a result of what she had done.

She didnt change between seasons. There marriage has long been rocky. She kicked walt out for quite awhile, her affair with beneke, and this season she's been terrified of walt.

As for a turning point i think it was clearly last seasons I am the one who knocks speech.'

I think their marriage has always been pretty rough going. I think this season its more out in the open, and i think currently its beyond repair.

plus i think its not as simple as just one single thing. She's clearly experiencing some sort of mental break. The cause of which is complex and involves just about every storyline in the show

Yep agree..I think seeing Ted in the state he's in and scared shitless made things "real".

I agree. My post really came from reading comments in other forums complaining about Skylar and her behavior this season. I think her actions make perfect sense considering all Walt has put her through and after she saw what happened to Ted.

And here we are again.

supposedly tonights episode is where everything starts to happen. I think its going to be wild. I cant wait, considering how great the first 4 episodes were.

It's too bad Hell On Wheels isn't a better show because it looks fantastic

I totally agree.

I never in a million years would have guessed that a show about a high school chemistry teacher with cancer who decides to sell meth ever would have had a train robbery but thats why Breaking Bad is the best show ever on tv.

I was certain that Walt was going to kill the kid...I thought this was the episode where Vince Gilligan said Walt would do something that we could never forgive. He did vote to kill Lydia though, so maybe that was it? Either way, as soon as we saw the kid and heard the train in the background I knew he was dead..the only shock was that Walt wasn't the one to do it.

Was that in an interview that Vince said that? It's got to be something pretty crazy...he's already poisoned an innocent kid...must be either killing Skylar or someone else in his family?

Yeah..I can't remember if I read the interview (I've read a lot of interviews with him this year) or if I read someone refer to it though. Maybe this wasn't again..then again only in this show are we saying that Walt voting to kill a woman isn't the nonredeemable thing the show creator was talking about.

I know...it's all relative I guess...

we still have 3 episodes to go and I still think something's going to happen with Skylar..I think Walt was letting her think that the deal she proposed was acceptable...
