@Wopu @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired Did you watch the show? When the focus was Walter, Jesse, and the other characters it was nonstop entertainment. Walters narcissism and brilliance was getting him into dramatic sticky situations that he would have to extricate himself from, often relying on escalation and the chemist bit. Jesse's ignorance and general bad attitude would do the same, and he'd have to pull through by more or less sacking up and stopping being a coward or a bitch. Constant satisfying set up and payoff. Same with the other characters. Meanwhile any time Skylar was on the screen it was woman complaining hour. All the action stopped, the set up and pay off dopamine farm was thrown in the trash. The entertainment was gone, all the bits were cancelled. We aren't going chemistry, we aren't doing gangster conflict resolution, we aren't doing detective intrigue or shyster lawyer shenanigans. When Skylar was onscreen nothing was happening and it was so boring you wanted to turn the tv off, but you knew that if you did that you might miss good content after she was off screen.
