It seems the return of Breaking Bad has prompted a lot of reflections on the roles of wives in anti-hero narratives (a topic, you may recall, about which I have feelings). So, as you're counting down to tonight's new episode, here's some light reading for you:

* "Skyler is Such a Bitch!," And Other Unfair Breaking Bad Observations
* Stop Hating the Wives: In Praise of Breaking Bad's Skyler White
* From 'The Shield' to 'Breaking Bad': How Anti-Hero Shows Make Women Do the Hard Work

Elsewhere on the interwebs... this is mainly for [personal profile] pocochina, because I know she enjoys watching the train wreck that is Aaron Sorkin's ego. Apparently, he's fired his entire writing staff for The Newsroom. I am SHOCKED, I tell you. SHOCKED.

lol I bet they did not appreciate his jeeeeeeeeenyus. I want to get excited about the self-insert revenge fic he'll doubtless be giving us over the whole thing, but...ew, those are so many real people.

I really need to catch up on Breaking Bad so I can get ridiculous about Skylar like I already know I will! I have some down time coming up soon so maybe that will go to the top of the list.
