Breaking Bad Commentary - No Spoilers please.
I am working my way through the marathon on my DVR, and am immensely enjoying the show. Also glad I waited this long so I can plow through them all at once. However!
I do take issue with a few elements regarding pregnancy and childbirth.
Skylar is 40yrs old. Pregnant. Has a back pain at work. “oh! Ow!” Makes a sad little uncomfortable face. Suddenly pops out a kid and hour later. Give me a fucking break. More like 12 hours later, if she’s lucky. A few days after she is running around with her hair done wearing makeup and skinny jeans with her flat stomach. What ?!?! I call bullshit!!!! nonononono. That’s all Hollywood LIES.
Please. More accurately: Greasy ponytail. Bloated as hell from the IV they forced her to have because of her age and low levels of fluid. NO MAKEUP. Maternity sweatpants cuz that belly still looks six months pregnant. She is also crying for no reason and sitting in a green haze of post-natal flatulence. Smear some baby vomit on her shoulder and NOW we are TALKING! Can we have some reality here puh-leez? They can make the meth heads look authentic enough? WTF?
Oh, also, when she’s like, “Oh hey we’re out of diapers, could you pick some up?” What? When the HELL has anyone run out of newborn diapers? First off, in a previous episode there were literally BOXES of them lying around, people give you metric tons during a shower, and managing baby shit is your primary objective. If you even get down to a dozen you start getting panicky. There’s no all “cas” remark like oh hey we’re out……
It’s more like HOLY FUCK THERE'S NO MORE DIAPERS HOW DID WE LET THIS HAPPEN OHMYGOD! GO TO THE FUCKING STORE RIGHT NOW! There’s no popping in to the pub for a pint. There no BS about 3 stores ran out and now I’m at Walmart. Come ON!
