Synopsis
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer starts producing and selling meth with a former student to secure his family’s future. Celebrate the fan-favorite series Breaking Bad by rewatching some of its most memorable scenes. During the hiatus due to the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and the fact that everyone liked Paul, decided to bring the character back and pass Jesse’s fate on to another character in the season one finale. In the opening credits, the letters of the cast and crew’s last names are highlighted in green to represent the symbols for chemical elements. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name is underlined in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a symbol for a chemical element.
Who do you think you see?
In later episodes, only the letter “C” (for carbon) is highlighted. Walter White: Who are you talking to now? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going to work?
I AM danger
A company big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ goes bankrupt. Disappears. Without me, it ceases to exist. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a hint. I’m not in danger, Skyler.
I’m the one knocking!
A guy opens the door and gets shot, and you think that about me? NO! The opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table for the names of the elements: bromine (Br) and barium (Ba) in the title, none for creator Vince Gilligan (except when he gets a V for vanadium), one for the cast and crew. All episodes have been re-aired in some territories on cable on demand, commercial-free, but with additional scenes not seen on AMC. Published in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013).
Dead fingers talk while working in a nuclear-free city
I can’t stress enough how good this show is. I’ve watched a lot of TV in my life and this show is still the best show I’ve ever seen.
