I'm a big Vince Gilligan fan dating back to his days on The X-Files but I'd love to ask him if Skyler was the voice of morality before or after she committed adultery.
Or Tax Fraud even earlier than that. Or money laundering setting up the entire car wash purchase and commiting fraud in order to get the old owner to sell. Or foolishing giving all of Walts money away to Ted and then extorting it back out of him to pay his taxes by hiring thugs that put him in a coma.
I think much of the hate for Skyler is due to a combination of rooting for the anti-hero like someone said but also because the writers turned Skyler into a huge hypocrit. I think I've read someone state it on a previous page a little more eloquently, but Skyler is quick to crucify Walt when he did something dumb or made a mistake but she acts like her #### dont stink when it comes to her mistakes.
