Rhea Seehorn's character on ‘Better Call Saul' is as strong as ‘Breaking Bad’s’ Skyler White, but doesn’t come with any of the fanboy hate.
“I learned my lesson. I’m never going to write for less-than-perfect women ever again; less-than-likable [women].”co-creator Vince Gilligan way back in 2014 during that summer’s Television Critics Association press tour. He said it before the public had seen as much of a second of the then-much-anticipated prequel to his Emmy-winning drama about a high school chemistry teacher who creates the finest methamphetamine Albuquerque, New Mexico, has ever seen.
Said in his trademark folksy “Aw shucks, y’all” Virginia twang, Gilligan’s comment was meant to be read as sarcasm. It was a rebuttal against a misogynistic subset offans who had decided that the true villain of that marvelous show wasn’t America’s broken healthcare system or even Walter White himself — and the greed and power that overtook him as he rose up the ranks of the drug-dealing industry — but Walt’s wife, Skyler .
Skyler, the way these fans saw her, was holding Walt back from greatness. She was too smart and too angry and too — ugh — shrill to simply be a drug kingpin’s devoted wife and be grateful that he was trying to provide for their family. Before she knew about his illegal activities, she attempted to find legal means to fund her husband’s medical treatments, like an online charity or asking their rich friends, Gretchen and Elliott, for help.
. Even when she accepts the situation and tries to help by suggesting Walt use his former employer, a car wash, as legitimate business to aid their money laundering, she’s seen as undermining Walt’s great mind.Nevermind that, in the final episodes of the series, Walt abandons Skyler and their kids to hide out far away in an off-the-grid cabin and grow a ridiculous beard.
