In later episodes, only the “C” (for Carbon) is highlighted
Story
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family’s future. Celebrate the fan-favorite series “Breaking Bad” by revisiting some of its most memorable scenes. Jesse Pinkman was originally supposed to be written out of the ninth episode. During the hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and the fact that everyone simply loved Paul, decided to reinstate the character and hand Jesse’s fate over to another character in the first-season finale. In the opening credits, the letters in the cast and crew names are highlighted in green to represent chemical element symbols. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name was highlighted in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a chemical element symbol.
Who do you think you’re seeing?
Walter White: Who are you talking to right now? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going to work? A company big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ goes out of business. Disappears.
I AM the danger
Ceases to exist, without me. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a hint. I’m not in danger, Skyler. A guy opens the door and gets shot, and you think that about me? No! I’m the one knocking!
The characters are well developed and funny
The opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements as part of the names: bromine (Br) and barium (Ba) for the title, none for creator Vince Gilligan (except when he gets a V for Vanadium), one for each cast and crew member. All episodes were rebroadcast on an on-demand cable channel in some areas, without commercials but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Edited in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013). Dead Fingers Talkingby Working in a Nuclear Free City. One of the best shows ever, the pacing is excellent. The show ties everything together very neatly.
Great storytelling, kudos to Vince Gilligan
It’s honestly a show that gets better every time you watch it. It’s cathartic to watch Walter go bad and the way the story unfolds is the best way it could have.
