The final eight episodes of Breaking Bad are underway, and one of the main dynamics driving the show is the relationship between meth kingpin Walter White and his wife, Skyler. In the name of protecting herself and her children, she's often stood in Walter's way — and has earned a tremendous amount of scorn from fans of the show as a result. Anna Gunn, the actress that plays Skyler, has penned an op-ed for The New York Times discussing the vicious, often misogynistic diatribes she's read across the web aimed at Skyler — and how they reveal a disturbing side of internet fandom.
