Vulture: One of the criticisms of Breaking Bad that keeps coming up is over the female characters. Skyler White is seen by some as this henpecking woman who stands in the way of all of Walt’s fun.
Vince Gilligan: Man, I don’t see it that way at all. We’ve been at events and had all our actors up onstage, and people ask Anna Gunn, “Why is your character such a bitch?” And with the risk of painting with too broad a brush, I think the people who have these issues with the wives being too bitchy on Breaking Bad are misogynists, plain and simple. I like Skyler a little less now that she’s succumbed to Walt’s machinations, but in the early days she was the voice of morality on the show. She was the one telling him, “You can’t cook crystal meth.” She’s got a tough job being married to this asshole. And this, by the way, is why I should avoid the Internet at all costs. People are griping about Skyler White being too much of a killjoy to her meth-cooking, murdering husband? She’s telling him not to be a murderer and a guy who cooks drugs for kids. How could you have a problem with that?

“A lot of time. She’s always dreaming of those ships, being on one. I’m actually looking at nothing of course. Water. I’m looking emotionally at water.”

- Sansa spends a lot of time sadly looking at ships.

Did keep her composure

Did act like a lady

Did stay strong

Did stay graceful

Did her best

Did what you probably couldn’t have done

NOTHING / EVERYTHING | _{the rawness of Will's honest heart passes unnoticed through the precisely constructed monumental labyrinth of Hannibal's performance as if it were nothing but air while Hannibal, treading carefully, follows his ball of string through the mazes he's painstakingly built in Will's mind.}

^{Agnus Dei / Samuel Barber • Crystalised / the xx // and you just keep on getting closer • Hollow Talk / Choir of Young Believers // trembling noises that come too soon • Leviathan Bound / Shearwater // the heart that’s pierced with it still is racing • Remain Nameless / Florence & The Machine // all the broken chords and unnamed cries • Weight of the World / Active Child // you can hide but you probably won’t survive • Nerd Future / Blue Water White Death // all hopes all homes uneasy • Basic Space / the xx // i think i’m losing where you end and i begin • Graceless / The National // i’m trying but i’ve gone through the glass again • You Were A Kindness / The National // you made a slow disaster out of me • White Waves / Shearwater // well, there’s no more canaries in the mine • Icarus / Santigold // i want all that i can take}

Theory: despite appearances, Alana Bloom is not in 1x08 at all

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:40:57 -0400

starberryjam:

There is zero doubt in my mind that Alana did not actually kiss Will in episode 8.

Look at the clues.

-He hallucinated sounds throughout the episode.

-He hallucinated Garrett Jacob Hobbs in the theater audience.

-He says to her that she had avoided being alone in a room with him at every juncture before this episode. This is true. Why would it change now?

-She turned up at his house unannounced? At night? This seems extremely unlikely and out of character for her. She said she was on her way home from work. She just let herself into the house without knocking? Right as he’s hearing things that aren’t there?

-Will told Hannibal that she *understood* he had hallucinated the sound of animals in the chimney. She said no such thing out loud.

-She kissed him after supposedly realizing he was hallucinating. That does not seem in-character for her, an outspoken person who cares about his mental health, and does not seem attracted to illness. Even on a level of friendship, she would say something.

-There was no sound of her leaving his house when she turned to go. No door opening or closing. No footsteps. Only silence as we watch Will’s face.

-She interacted with *no* other characters in this episode. Will’s version of events is not corroborated by anyone else or any other context within the episode.

TL;DR: This whole episode focuses around Will’s hallucinations and deteriorating mental state. Every scene in which he is alone in this episode marks hallucinations. I posit that the scenes with Alana are actually also “alone” scenes. She’s not really there. He’s talking to her because he sees her, but she’s a hallucination.

Watch it again with this in mind. All the clues are there.
