It's amazing to pure hatred I've developed for Skyler. Any time she's on screen, my blood starts to boil.
As for the pacing, I prefer one excellent story line, even if it's slowly paced, over a story line that goes down false avenues, throws out red herrings, etc. to keep the action up while still making the main plot last the entire season.
These "slower paced" episodes are where the character development takes place, which, along with superb writing, is the key thing that separates a truly great series like Breaking Bad from something like The Killing or The Walking Dead.
