I've finally caught up, so I can start participating in this thread now.

thats the beauty of the writing, in this case for entertainment purposes
skylar can be fucking annoying but so can Walt when he starts rambling and blithering away, so can jesse, so can Walt Jr.
in fact the only character who's really stood up recently has been Hank, and he's been a top tnuc in the past.
Hank as always been a good guy. Boorish and assholeish maybe, but still a good guy.
Walt Jr. is just being a teenager.
Saul Goodman, despite being a slimy insect (ie lawyer) has done nothing but go out of his way to help people out. He's cool in my book.
Mike is just a badass, his only mistake was to join back up with Walt.
Everyone else is batshit insane and morally culpable in some way in my book.
