I think most of the viewers do sympathize with Skylar, which is probably the more normal thing to do. I am just more invested in the other characters, who are just as flawed as Skylar, and have a hard time really connecting with Skylar and don't really pity her. In my view she didn't do enough to get Walt to stop going down the evil path and so she really has no other choice but to deal with it now. Her speech about how she is weak was absolutely right. Actually I don't pity most of the characters in how their lives have turned out except Jesse, Hank and the kids.

Myers, what did you think of the Skyler/Walt/pool scene? And the Walt/Mike/Jesse scene at the end?

Well I thought the episode altogether was brilliant. I liked how walt's character does a great job at showing that fake sincerity and charm when he needs to. When he is telling the story about the chemo and skylar being there for him and the whole time skylar is ridden with guilt slowing walking into the water, the scene was just pure excellence.

The final scene just reinforces the fact that jesse doesn't want anymore blood on his hands and you kind of see the same sympathy mike showed towards the woman, which was pointed out in the scene. I think Walt respects Jesse enough to agree with him, it's also a mixture of how he wants to continue his obsession of power that he doesn't want to slow down the operation. The final part where Jesse gives him that watch reiterates the bond Jesse and Walt have. Walt thinks of Jesse as a son, but because of this he knows he can manipulate him (like when he convinces that Gus poisoned the child, or when they have that talk in the previous episode about him possibly cutting ties with his girlfriend and her son).

The watch ticking at the end just a simile of how time is running out and I think Walt knows that his time may be coming soon. We see in the opening scene of the season that things aren't going good for walt and he looks to be on the run.

Good episode. Walt has Jesse under control and now his eyes are on Skylar. Jesse would kill if he has too, so Walt is smart to keep him under control, although he has to keep it that way or else Pinkman would try to do something. Skylar is the type to fall under great pressure and might be capable of blowing up the cover just to keep the kids safe. Also Walt doesn't seem to explain how long he will continue to do this. I have a feeling Walt will eventually end up killing Jesse Pinkman in a later season, unless Pinkman takes out Walt.

wow that was some high-drama episode. Been waiting a while for Skylar's depression to be fully explained. Also when she says she's waiting for the cancer to come back

Did anyone else hear what sounded like a gun being cocked at the very end of the watch ticking? It was definitely a different sound to the ticking.

I now firmly believe Walt JR will die and Skyler will go to the POPO.

[xhc]

Yeah, Walt Junior to go down in a car crash most likely.
