A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer takes up manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family’s future. Celebrate the fan-favorite series “Breaking Bad” by reliving some of its most memorable scenes. Jesse Pinkman was originally supposed to be written out in episode 9. During a hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed with Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse, as well as everyone who simply loved Paul, decided to revive the character and give Jesse’s fate to a different character at the end of the first season. In the opening credits, the letters in the names of the cast and crew are highlighted in green, representing chemical element symbols. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name was highlighted in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a chemical element symbol. In later episodes, only the “C” (for Carbon) is highlighted. Walter White: Who are you talking to now? 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 goes bankrupt. It disappears. It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a clue. I’m not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger. A guy opens the door and shoots him, 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 titles: 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 rerun on cable on-demand in some areas, without commercials, but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Adapted from CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013). Dead fingers speak while working in a nuclear-free city. I have never watched a show that is as consistently authentic and engaging as Breaking Bad. This is without a doubt one of the greatest shows of all time, and it keeps getting better. The journeys of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are unforgettable. These are some of the best-written characters ever written. My praise for the acting and cinematography is endless. Some of the scenes are intricate works of art, and I was rarely distracted by the acting. The performances are excellent to the point where it seems inappropriate to call them performances. Overall, Breaking Bad consistently maintains a level of engagement and technical quality that is only seen in the best films, and in terms of tone, every intense moment is excellently executed and always achieves the impact it seeks. I feel like the show’s plot lacks a certain level of complexity in the first few seasons, as it doesn’t have a lot of plot threads and starts off a bit slow, but Breaking Bad is an absolute must-watch. If you had mixed feelings about Season 1, trust me, it goes downhill from there. If there was ever a series that you could call perfect, I think this might be it.
