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 show Breaking Bad by revisiting some of its most memorable scenes. During a hiatus caused by a writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and everyone who liked him, decided to bring the character back and in the season one finale, Jesse’s fate fell to a different character. In the opening credits, the letters in the cast and crew names are highlighted in green to represent the symbols for chemical elements. However, Michael Slovis’ „Ch” is underlined in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a symbol for a chemical element.
Who do you think that is?
In later episodes, only the „C” (for Carbon) is highlighted. Walter White: Who are you talking to now? Do you know how much I make in 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 stock exchange is going upside down. It’s gone. Without me, it ceases to exist. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me fill you in. 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 as part of their names: 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 on cable on demand in some areas, commercial-free but with additional scenes that were not included on AMC. Edited into CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013).
I think I liked it
Dead fingers talk while working in a nuclear-free city. I’ve rewatched it 7 times and counting.
