It’s monologues like this one that have made Mike Ehrmantraut (and by extension actor Jonathan Banks) such a firm fan favourite. Banks modestly calls shooting this scene “ a good day of work”, preferring to highlight the Jesse and Mike drop-off montage – “I don't think for all that time that we ever stopped laughing” – but there’s no doubt that this, pipping even his death or his unfortunate farewell to his granddaughter, is The Fixer’s finest hour. Watch it in full here, and try not to blub too loudly. The good is the extreme highs – if it didn’t feel great, people wouldn’t do it – and the bad is everything else it does to you, your family and friends, and your mental wellbeing. Here, in this loving Trainspotting homage, Jesse rises to the sky to show you, the Breaking Bad viewer, the other side of the Empire Business. But even on a cloud, he’s faced with disaster when Jane’s system collapses under the weight of the drug and she chokes to death while Jesse sleeps, oblivious, and Walt watches, calculating. Breaking Bad has been accused by some members of law enforcement and the legal community of normalizing or glorifying methamphetamine creation and usage. [158] [159] [160] Viewership [ edit ] There are many different moments that Breaking Bad fans like to cite as the specific point that Walt went beyond the pale, but this was the instant we knew that in Todd’s case, well, he’s always been broken (and seriously creepy around Lydia, to boot).

The relation of his hat and Heisenberg can be rather simple, or it can be rather complex, depending upon how much you want to read into it and how much analysis you associate with the show. When the hulking teen threatens Walt in turn, the proto-Heisenberg stares him down, swearing to exact revenge if the bully swings first. It’s our first sign that this mild-mannered teacher is capable of not just frustration but cold, burning rage, and the first sign that there’s quite a lot of bad there to be broken.

Mild-mannered White’s life spirals downward when he finds out he has cancer and has about two years to live. After writing the concept for the show and pilot, Gilligan pitched it to Sony Pictures Television, who became very interested in supporting it. Sony arranged for meetings with the various cable networks. Showtime passed on this, as they had already started broadcasting Weeds, a show with similarities to the premise of Breaking Bad. [27] While his producers convinced him that the show was different enough to still be successful, Gilligan later stated that he would not have gone forward with the idea had he known about Weeds earlier. [28] Other networks like HBO and TNT also passed on the idea, but eventually FX took interest and began initial discussions on producing the pilot. [27] At the same time, FX had also started development of Dirt, a female-centric crime-based drama series, and with three existing male-centric shows already on the network, FX passed up Breaking Bad for Dirt.

The titles of the first, fourth, 10th and final episodes of the second season of Breaking Bad go like this: ‘Seven Thirty-Seven’, ‘Down’, ‘Over’, ‘ABQ’. This is no coincidence, as you’d expect from a show that layers motifs repeatedly. Likewise, if you spotted the picture of the pink teddy bear on Jane’s bedroom wall, or in the tree outside Walt’s house in Season 5B or in any of the other occasions the little furry pink fellow appears, that’s very much on purpose.

Six episodes later, Hank will have died, his last words “You're the smartest guy I ever met, and you're too stupid to see — he made up his mind ten minutes ago" and "Do what you're gonna do" echo just how stupid (in his own way) Hank had been not to have noticed Walt’s double life all along.

Archived from I don’t think there’s any popular show that gets it 100 percent right, but that’s not the goal,” Nelson told Mental Floss in 2013. “The goal is not to be a science education show; the goal is to be a popular show. And so there’s always going to be some creative license taken, because they want to make the show interesting.” Under the belief that the sound of oncoming sirens is the sound of the police coming to get him, Walt steps into the road to shoot himself, but as he puts the pistol under his chin and pulls the trigger, it emerges that he hasn’t taken the safety off. Fiddling with the gun, it goes off harmlessly in his hand. The poor bastard may have been part of a team that won the Nobel prize, and later in his life may pull Machiavellian manoeuvres so devious only a demented genius could have thought them up, but Walter White is also a bit of an idiot at crucial moments.
