I really didnt like the decision to remove Leslie Winkle from the show. I really liked her character and I think the combination of her and Amys character would have been great. Missed oppurtunity tbh.
Shows how different this show was from the other Star Treks. Much more of an ensemble, much less focused on one character (or a small handful). It's what made the development feel so much more real here than a lot of other trek shows in my opinion.
Badger doesn't show up until S01e05, so he can't have screen time in eps 01, 02, 03 and 04. Krazy-8 had considerable screen time in Season 1 and he's nowhere to be seen.
It is really strange that Skyler is second when she is the most side character you could imagine. Storyline clearly shows that Jesse is co-main character. These things are far more important than just amount of time that character is on the screen. Impact on the plot is really what matters in this context. For instance, Marie seems to have triple more time than Gus (and it was really surprising for me), but you never gonna say she is more important character. Yes, she had her kind of an own line with this kleptomaniac thing but that's all, this is way too sideline and practically doesn't even interact with series mainline while Gus can be seen as the main antagonist of the show. Even Walt Jr has more screen time but come on, how can you compare these two characters in terms of their importance :) It's all because Gus was only in seasons 3-4 and Marie (or Walt Jr) stayed the whole show. It doesn't make them more important. In case with Skyler, there is opinion (and I consider it reasonable) that producers filled screen time with her too much because they needed to stretch the show up to particular number of episodes due to lack of ideas with the main story, it is similar to fillers in anime. So they created her own line out of nowhere and that's why a lot of scenes with her seem so unfit and eye-catching, they really contrast with other lines and sometimes they are really boring. Maybe that's also why a lot of people hate her as a character or some even hate actress herself. Personally I don't, I think Anna Gunn played her role well and her character is sure overhated but maybe it was really too much presence of Skyler in the show
Nah I think what makes BrBa so good is that it is both the story of a badass drug dealer and of a regular family guy. The more "boring" parts of the plot involving Skyler, Walt jr & Marie are, in a way, as important as the whole plot with Gus / Mike & meth production. It is the contrast, tensions and interactions between these two plots that make the show so great and interesting and what makes Aalt's drug dealing so peculiar and great is that he is also a regular family father. --- Imo, the main theme of BrBa is 1) leading a double life and 2) lying, and for these themes to fully develop, the more "boring" parts are just as needed.
@@Vegil_The_Approaching_Storm Still season 4 is the beat season of the entire show and skyler is hardly rememberd in this season, her character got a brighter light at seasons 3 and 5.
i feel so bad for lane who was completely pushed aside after rory went to college. after season three we barely got to see their friendship flourish and it felt like lane was part of a different show
