[countdown] day nine | Breaking Bad Ladies
F E M A L E - C H A R A C T E R S
Despite being a show firmly centred on the fall and rise and fall again(?) of Walter White, and despite the fact that it can probably be argued that Jesse, Gus, Mike, and Hank have been the other major players in this "Empire Business", Breaking Bad has some awesome and, more importantly, integral female characters that, in most parts of fandom, and with general viewers, do NOT get nearly enough recognition and love.
So, today's countdown post is dedicated to the ladies, and I don't mean in a 'how they serve to prop up the male characters' kind of way either. I mean, let's talk about how they're vital to the story in their own right. Because they are. And it's awesome.
Skyler, Marie, Jane, Andrea, Lydia, even Wendy, Holly and Gretchen. Feel free to reply to this entry with your own thoughts (well articulated meta, rambling word-vomit, capslock flail alllll welcome!), or with gifs, picspams, videos, fics that you think highlight how the show would not, could not possibly, have been the same without these women.
