she's spent plenty of time opposing him too.

Because Walt is the show. He puts asses in the seats. Skylar is cranky and expendable.

As far as people wanting her to suffer or die or hating her or whatever...I don't know. I'm not big on blogs and this is the only messageboard I frequent so I don't know how much of the majority that opinion pertains to. Is this similar to the 1% lunatic fringe that wants to see ANNA GUNN die in a pool of her own blood? Honestly, I can't say I've ever cared much about how others view a fictitious supporting tv character.

"i hate cheaters", "she
>helped walt", and "she's kinda bitchy" etc. are all awful
>explanations that don't really hold up when examined.

They're all perfectly good explanations for her not bringing something good to the table. You said it yourself...you can't find any reason why people should like her character. The convo ends there, IMO.

I'm not suggesting to fry her over it. It's merely part of her characters resume and it did nothing to endear her to the audience.

Don't see how that was badass...certainly not in the realm of cooking meth and killing drug lords, lol.
