Walter White: Who are you talking to now?
Tale
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer resorts to making 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 scheduled to be written out in the 9th episode. During the hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed with Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse, as well as everyone who simply liked Paul, decided to reinstate the character and give Jesse’s fate to another character in the first season finale. In the opening credits, the letters in the names of the cast and crew are highlighted in green to represent symbols of chemical elements. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’s 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.
Cease to exist, without me
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 me. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going to work? A business big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ would go bankrupt. Disappear. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a clue.
I AM the danger
I am not in danger, Skyler. A guy opens the door and gets shot, and you think that of 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. All episodes were rerun on an on-demand cable channel in some areas, commercial-free, but with additional footage not included on AMC. Edited in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013).
My praise for the acting and cinematography is endless
Dead Fingers Talking by Working in a Nuclear Free City. I have never watched a show that was as consistently genuine and engaging as Breaking Bad. This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest shows of all time, and it gets better and better as it goes on. The journeys of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are unforgettable. These are some of the best-written characters to ever come out of a pen and paper. Some of the scenes are intricate works of art, and I rarely found myself distracted by the acting. The performances are excellent to the point where it feels like a misnomer to call them performances.
If you have mixed feelings about season 1, trust me, it’s all downhill from there
Overall, Breaking Bad consistently maintains a level of engagement and technical quality seen only in the best films, and in terms of tone, every intense moment is executed with excellence and always hits the mark. I feel like the show’s plot in the early seasons lacks a certain level of complexity due to not having a ton of plot threads, and the beginning is a bit slow, but Breaking Bad is an absolute must-watch. If there was ever a series that you could call perfect, I think this might be it.
