    We saw Howard’s wife once, and she was a cold bitch to him. This idea that shes some sympathetic character who got to Kim and broke her…. Not buying it. Didnt like it

    Yeah I said the same thing. She couldn't even appreciate the latte he made for her.

    Don’t forget, the whole going after Howard thing was her idea in the first place.

    That scene seemed VERY gratuitous to me.

    I kind of think that the character / characteristics of Howard's wife are irrelevant. When the high of the scheme wears off, Kim's morality returns. She's not Walt or Jimmy, who instead chase after that high again and again.

    The funniest line in the entire series: "Yep.....yep....yep.....yep...."

    No, but they emphasize her indignance, and her sympathy for Howard.

    She was part of Howards's problems.

    And I will say it. The Jesse and Walter scenes added nothing. Jesse almost seemed distracting, he was so much older, and with a different voice.

    Marion looked up "con man" and "Albequerque" on Ask Jeeves :D

    I agree with this. Total fan service. Even Sepinwall noted that they basically had to hide Aaron Paul in the shadows to cover for the fact that he's, uh, not 20.

    First entry, baby. Gotta love search engines.

    So what? She was still married to the guy and found out he had been set up and then brutally murdered. You don't think that might have an effect on her?

    Maybe when he died she realized how nasty she had been to him and felt remorse, regret and extreme sadness. Maybe she felt guilty when she thought she had driven him to become a drug addict and commit suicide, and when Kim told her what really happened, she was outraged by Kim and Jimmy having made her feel that guilt (perhaps on top of still feeling guilty about how she had treated him). There are any number of reasons for her to be indignant, angry and sympathetic toward Howard, even if she was a raging bitch to him when he was alive.

    Whatever the reason, I did not feel that scene was at all unrealistic in that sense.
