Not sure I agree about Skylar being meant to be liked.

Despite being an anti-hero, Walter was the protagonist, and the show was presented in such a way that you're generally rooting for him, even if you don't really like Walter as a person.

On the other hand, Skylar is pretty much doing the sane and rational thing of trying to make the best of an impossible situation (as you noted), but she's still impeding or opposing the protagonist for much of the story. Since the story is being told from Walt's POV, it's hard to truly like Skylar as a character to the point where you are rooting for her. And that contradiction is part of what made the show interesting IMO.

100% agree though, if you actively dislike Skylar or think she was the worst part of the show, you've missed the entire point.

This one frustrates me so much. Skylar wasn't perfect, but she gets so much hate. It's so stupid.

I mean in her case, I like to think the actress is so damn good I hated her character..... Vs someone I think cannot act.

But she was written that way, just like Hank (oops Walter...) was written to appeal to us, despite him being a literal fucking monster and Skyler being the best wife she could be in that situation.

As you wish...

I need to make this obvious: ⭐⭐Wes**T**ley⭐⭐🤩🏴‍☠️ is the opposite of what OP is looking for, whereas it is Wesley who needs to shut up.

Dr. Pulaski on STTNG. “PMS Bitchface” some called her.

But that's what I liked about her!

Tbf I think with that character, you're supposed to love-hate her

Meesa think you should watch da Clone Wars!

I actually liked Wesley. I am a nerd tho.

I'll never forgive them for what they did to Charlie

i'm gonna be honest, from all i've heard about the show, the thought of a heterosexual pairing never once crossed my mind or social media feed

bossy

This is code for "eww a woman who isn't useless eye candy".

Janeway is a fine character. Like all the crew on Voyager she is inconsistently written, but she is one of the better characters. Neelix fits the OP best.

I think she's hot 🔥

Voyager didn't always have the best wrighting. It tried to follow the writing style of The Next Generation, which didn't work alongside the larger story arc of them trying to get home. So the quality of storytelling was all over the place and nothing that happened in a previous episode had any bearing on a subsequent episode unless it was a two-parter.

The original idea was Voyager was going to get more and more battered and ramshackle as things went on, but they decided that would be too expensive to model so they didn't do it. The only remnant of this that we have is The Year Of Hell episode.
