Walter White: Who are you talking to now?
Line of Events
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer begins producing and selling methamphetamine to 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 initially supposed to be written out of the series in episode 9. During a break 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 hand Jesse’s fate over to another character in the season one finale. In the opening credits, the letters of the cast and crew’s names 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 letter “C” (for Carbon) is highlighted.
Who are you seeing?
Do you know how much I make a year? 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. Ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me enlighten you.
I AM danger
I’m not in danger, Skyler. A guy opens the door and gets shot, and that’s what you think of me? NO! I’m knocking! The opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table as part of the names: bromine (Br) and barium (Ba) in the title, neither for creator Vince Gilligan (other than when he gets V for vanadium), one for the cast and crew members. All episodes were repeated on the cable channel on demand in some areas, commercial-free, but with additional scenes not included on AMC.

Dead Fingers Talking Working in a Nuclear-Free City
‘Breaking Bad’ is one of the most popular shows ranked on IMDb, it’s one of those rarities where every season has been either very positively received or almost universally critically acclaimed, and where all of my friends have only had positive things to say about it. Very few shows in recent years have so captivated me from the start that I’ve watched the entire thing by the time the week is over, especially since with many shows currently airing, watching a single episode from start to finish can be quite a challenge. ‘Breaking Bad’ has had a huge impact on me, and its reputation as one of the best, consistently brilliant, and most addictive shows in many years (or maybe even history) is, in my opinion, more than deserved. Its weakest season is probably its first, which is understandable because the first season of any show is the one where things are still calming down. In fact, everything is set up remarkably early on, but when the script and characterization become even more substantial, the spectacle reaches an even higher level. Visually, “Breaking Bad” is one of those shows that is both stylish and beautiful, with cinema-quality photography and editing that puts many movies today to shame, where there are plenty of visually beautiful ones but also some that look painfully amateurish. The music always has the right mood, never too intrusive, never too quiet.
The direction couldn’t be better
The script for “Breaking Bad” is a good example of how you should have plenty of style, but also plenty of substance. The dialogue throughout the film is taut and thought-provoking, while also possessing a dark, wicked sense of humor and a touching pathos. The stories are richly textured, intimate, tense and multi-layered, and have a steady but thoughtful pace. Nothing bad can be said about the performances.
