And Jessica Walter must have had bittersweet feelings about her performance in Play Misty for Me. The theater audience cheered when Clint threw her off that cliff.

Anna Gunn (or whatever her name is) said she actually got death threats! Weird, as Walter White was a truly evil character. Still, love the dark comedy of the show...

OT
“Play Misty for Me” was a cue on radio call-ins that the gal calling wanted to “hook up” with the host.

Walter White was the anti-hero of the show. He may have been the bad guy but he was living out the fantasy that the viewer was promised. Meek, humble, unassuming beta type guy becomes ruthless drug kingpin. That is the fantasy that the viewer wanted to see played out , and the wife was an obstructionist to that fantasy. She got in the way. And that is frustrating for the viewer. And this is why she is hated, And in the context of the series, justifyably so. I don’t see how the writers could not have seen this.
