Breaking Bad

[Art Vandelay]

She is pregnant with her back to him and he just gives it to her without her knowing it is coming. The look on her face is complete shock. It seemed like a power play to me. There was nothing loving about it.

Somewhat related tangent. As a single undergrad, in anatomy lab (professor Vandersomethin's class), I learned from the TA "that from behind, also sometimes called doggy style, is often the best way to make to love when your wife is pregnant."

I have no problem with the position. It was the sudden and forceful penetration without her expecting it... But apparently that "surprise attack" from behind is pretty normal, per Wuap.

You're missing the point that it was unexpected but enjoyed. As was their renewed passion thereafter in the public meeting, and car antics. Walt's aggression was a welcomed treat for a lady who acted like she couldn't get enough of the new Walt. The bed scene was the first moment of Walt taking command of his life, and his wife going along for the ride.

Hey now, that's not really fair, and kind of personal. When was the last time you watched the scene? I do not see her as surprised at all. To be really clinical, I think the surprise was feeling the erection of her cancer-stricken husband. She even says, "Walt, is that you?" Before that they kissed each other, and she even put her hand on the back of his head to kiss him more closely/caress him.

I don't remember anything in her face that would indicate mutual pleasure, but it has been a long time since I have seen that episode.

I wondered during that scene if they weren't doing something that was new for both of them and this really was a new and more aggressive Walter.

I do recall all of that now. I didn't remember thinking of it as rape; though obviously from my forgetfulness, it didn't impact me too much one way or the other. However, Anna Gunn seems to agree more with marsupial.

is this the scene everyone is referencing?

No, that's about the scene in the kitchen when he knocks her into the fridge (S2:E1). I agree, that one was not consensual at all, and would've been rape had she not stopped him. Season 1 Episode 2 actually begins with the orgasm of the end of episode 1, and we see him finish, roll over and start coughing. She asks, "Are you ok?"

After hearing Clack's description of the honeymoon phase aftermath, and what you are describing I vaguley recall the scene. I took it to be consensual and something Skyler enjoyed. However, I reserve the right to change my opinion 180 degrees (again) upon seeing video evidence.

If you have Netflix, go watch the end of S1:E1 and the beginning of S1:E2.

No, I had forgotten about that scene. Gosh, Walt is an ass.

The scene I am thinking about is when they are in bed. Granted, I haven't seen it in a long time, but my memory tells me that he pretty much just gives it to her with little or no warning. She seems to allow it, probably because she was too surprised to stop it and because part of her was just grateful he was healthy enough to be interested in it again.

Certainly, a quickie can be fun now and again, but given the stress in their marriage, I think a little loving foreplay would have been good for them.

I just watched the scene on Netflix, I'm going to have to agree with wuap and Clack. Skyler was surprised, but not in a sexual assault-type way. But, in a who is this, agressive, long-forgotten he-really-wants-me, and I want him type reaction. At least that is how i perceive it.

Well, I'll have to rewatch it, too. It could be that I am confusing the aggression of the refrigerator scene with that one in my mind.

I haven't watched that episode in a long time, but my memory is that it was a "pleasantly surprised" moment for Skyler. A much different emotion than the refrigerator scene.

[Commando]

Skyler is one of the most annoying characters on television for me. I don't know if they mean for her to be that way, but there is nothing likable about her. There is nothing about her with which one empathizes. I understand that her world is upside down, but she seems like she has been pissed off every moment of this series and all of it has to do with either Walter not obeying her or her losing control over Walter.

Skyler started off WAY annoying for me. As in "I hope she gets whacked" annoying. She has since come around for me since after her freakout and subsequent chill-out. Before she was just a straight bitch ALL THE TIME. I quite like her now.
