Walter White: Who are you talking to?
Scenario
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer begins manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family’s future.. Celebrate fan-favorite Breaking Bad by rewatching some of its most memorable scenes.. Jesse Pinkman was originally going to be written out by episode 9. During the hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed with Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and the fact that everyone just liked Paul, decided to reinstate the character and give Jesse’s fate to another character in the season 1 finale.. In the opening credits, letters in the names of the cast and crew are highlighted in green to represent symbols for chemical elements. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name was highlighted in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a symbol for a chemical element. In later episodes, only the “C” (for carbon) is highlighted.
Who do you think you see?
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 bankrupt. Disappears. It ceases to exist, without me. No, you obviously don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a hint.
I AM the danger
I’m not in danger, Skyler. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that about me? No! I’m the one knocking! 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 the cast and crew members. All episodes were repeated in some territories on an on-demand cable channel, with no commercials but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Edited in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013).
Dead Fingers Talking by Working in a Nuclear Free City
One of the highest-rated shows on IMDb, Breaking Bad is one of those rarities where every season has either received very positive reviews or received near-unanimous critical acclaim, and all of my friends have nothing but good things to say about it. Very few shows in recent memory have gripped me from the start to the point where I’ve watched the entire show before the week is over, especially since it can be a challenge to watch a single episode in its entirety with many shows currently airing. Breaking Bad had that effect on me, and its reputation as one of the best, most consistently brilliant, and most compelling shows in many years (perhaps even of all time) is, in my eyes, more than deserved. The weakest season is perhaps the first, which is understandable, as the first season of a series is the one where things still have to settle. Actually, everything is remarkably established from the start, but once the script and characterization become even more substantial, the series reaches even higher levels. Visually, Breaking Bad is one of those series that is both stylish and beautiful, with cinematic-quality photography and editing that puts many of today’s films to shame, many of which are visually beautiful, but also some that are painfully amateurish. The music is always in the right mood, never too intrusive, never too subdued.
The direction couldn’t be better
The script for Breaking Bad is a great example for all series of how you can have a lot of style but also a lot of substance. The dialogue is consistently thought-provoking and suspenseful, but also has a darkly wicked sense of humor and heartbreaking pathos. The stories are richly textured, intimate, suspenseful, and layered, and their pacing is consistently deliberate but tight. I can’t say anything bad about the acting.
