I feel like her reactions are reasonable, in their way.

If I believed that, I wouldn't dislike her, but this is where the show falls apart for me. That is understandable, but boring, and everyone else gets way better material to work with. I don't believe that is the intent. I think they meant to make her a villain in it, but she isn't written well enough to be anything but pathetic. There is enough ground work in there for a much more interesting Skylar, but they stop short at every turn.
She has proven herself a formidable liar and fraud when she wants to be. Even Walter says, "Lying comes much easier to you than me," or something alot like that. I just wish she was more of a force.
