That would be a hell of a way to end the partial season - with her shooting him (not dead) or the series (very dead).
Her line about the cancer coming back reminds me of when she said to Walt, "I fucked Ted." It was every bit as cold. Her and Walt's relationship is right back to where it was at that point, even worse actually. Anna Gunn sure does know how to deliver a verbal middle finger. Her delivery of those lines cuts right to the bone. That woman could destroy lesser men with her words alone.
Indeed! Her and Cranston were both phenomenal in that scene, and I am sure they will get more Emmy nods for their work this year following that.

A bit slower than I would like due to recent computer troubles, but I'm about five episodes into season 3 and enjoying it. I really like Colvin. He's an interesting guy. Things should get interesting after the last episode I watched since

I disagree. He actually asked her. She said she was waiting and he said "waiting for what?". Her response was sort of "you don't know? The cancer, duh". Almost like she expected him to know. Yet he hadn't accepted how negatively he's perceived.

I hope Skyler dies. I can't stand her. She can't be trusted anyway. Mike should pay her a visit. Mike can make it look like a suicide now that Skyler has shown everybody that she is unstable.

I kind of hope she dies as well, every time she is on screen I feel like fast forwarding.

I love how quickly Walt has done a Micheal Corleone and gone from a nice guy to an ass of a kingpin.

You know, it occurs to me that Walt Jr may be the only squeaky clean character on the show right now. Everybody else has some kind of bad karma, even Hank for the awful way he treated Marie after he was disabled. Is Walt Jr. the only innocent character on Breaking Bad?

I hope you don't. I nearly went mental on a guy on the breaking bad facebook page who says he actually does that. I wanted to say, congrats on missing possibly the most intense scene the show has ever done, sans killing or explosions, now go back to watching your cbs procedurals.

Can't be trusted? By who? The drug dealer egomaniac husband who's so up his own as he's put his entire family in danger for his own personal gain? Walt's entire family would be better off if skyler told hank everything.

That is just how I perceive her. She hates Walt with a passion, so yes, she can't be trusted by Walt, Jesse, and Mike (but the latter two don't know her current state). I simply don't like her. I think that whole affair with Ted just killed it for me. I was already annoyed by the sight of her face (especially when her eyes get all big) from the beginning, but once she betrayed Walt I stopped caring for her character. That is most likely the intention of the writers, for us to dislike her. Walt got into this whole mess to make sure his family has money after he dies, so I don't think it was for his 'own personal gain'. It was for his family. By the time the cancer went into remission, he was already tits-deep in the muck and couldn't simply bail out. During the course of this, it affected his ego but he began with good intentions. Anyway, yeah, I hope Skyler dies. It won't happen, but I can dream.

"I am the one who knocks" - THAT, I think, is the most intense scene in the show. It shut her up for a good minute.

This is all just my own opinion, it isn't wrong or right.
