House. I've heard your name. Most people have. It's also a noun.
Hugh Laurie as Gregory House in House M.D. (2004-2012)
“Theres something about you. It’s like you’re hurt too.”
this episode means everything to me
“You wanted this conversation
You wanted to talk about something that matters
Talk”
I personally think the fact that Skyler was pregnant and then newly postpartum for the majority of the show gets glossed over way too often lol. Not in an "oh pregnant women and new moms are soooo emotional 🙄" way either, but moreover like how deeply deranged a lot of Walt's behavior towards her really is in that context. Like here is this woman who is pushing 40, experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and all the financial and emotional concerns that come with that, raising a son who has a disability and handling all of the unique responsibilities and challenges that are a part of that experience, coping with what was essentially sold to them as a death sentence for her husband, all while also having to get back into the workforce after an extended time at home. It's crazy how vulnerable of a position Skyler was in during the time when Walter was sneaking around behind her back, lying and engaged in illegal activities right under her nose. Walt consistently harps on the stakes of his situation but ppl seem to completely disregard the weight of Skyler's. She gave birth without Walt. Handled the sleepless nights and diaper changes and night feedings and newborn tears without him. When she desperately asks him to get diapers at bedtime, he can't even do that for her without traumatizing Jesse and going to a bar while he's out of the house. Sometimes I remember that Skyler was an aspiring writer and I just want to cry lol. Losing so much of herself in motherhood and caught up in Walter White's web of lies and abuse. that's a tragedy of Breaking Bad I seldom see discussed but it's one I think about every time I watch the show. Skyler White you will always be one of my favorites, I love you so much
my number one biggest weakness when it comes to breaking bad content is anything to do with jesse and marie and those fleeting glimpses we saw of them together towards the end of the show. it was so small, but it said so fucking much. hank obviously only ever saw jesse as a tool, a disposable resource to get him closer to walt, but marie didn’t. she saw this scruffy, angry kid sleeping in her nice guest room and telling her husband about the horrible things he’d done and seen for the confession tape and her instinct wasn’t to withdraw or to treat him as lesser than like her husband did. it was to make him a cup of coffee. treat him like a human. marie’s an addict herself, something that i think gets forgotten a lot, and in this mad scramble around her to bring down walt and use jesse’s life as a bargaining chip, she sat down with him and treated him with a little decency because she knows what it’s like to be shunned and othered and cast aside. to be a “problem”. to have no control. walt, skyler, and hank all had longer, more in-depth interactions with jesse, but marie’s time with him, however brief, was so fucking meaningful. the world is so cruel sometimes. let’s eat together and share a little moment of humanity.
i’m just here whenever i don’t have anyone to ramble about my new hyper-fixation with || a mish-mash of brba, bcs, lost, house md & severance
