revisiting some of the most memorable scenes
Story
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer decides to manufacture and sell methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family’s future. Jesse Pinkman was originally supposed to be written out by episode nine. During the writers’ hiatus " Successful creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and everyone who likes Paul, decided to bring the character back and leave Jesse’s fate to another character in the first-season finale. .. In the opening credits, the letters of the cast and crew names are highlighted in green to represent the symbols for the chemical elements. However, "Ch" in Michael Slovis's name was highlighted in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a chemical element symbol. In later episodes only "C" (for Carbon) is underlined..
Who do you think you’re seeing?
Walter White: Who are you talking to right now? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, 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 business big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ grows. It disappears. It ceases to exist without me.
I AM the danger
No, you obviously don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you direction. I’m not in danger, Skylar. A man opens the door and gets shot, and you think that’s what I’m about? 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 the V for vanadium), one for each cast and crew.. All episodes have been repeated on cable on demand in some areas, without commercials but with additional scenes not included on AMC..
Edited on CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Mash-up Dead (2013)
Dead Fingers is about working in a nuclear-free city. I have never seen a series as authentic and engaging as Breaking Bad. This is without a doubt one of the greatest shows of all time and it just keeps getting better as it goes on. The journeys of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are unforgettable. These are some of the best written characters ever put to paper. My praise for the acting and cinematography is endless. Some shots are elaborate works of art and I was rarely distracted by the acting.
The performances are excellent to the point that calling them performances seems out of place
Overall, Breaking Bad consistently maintains a level of commitment and technical quality only seen in the best films and in terms of tone, every intense moment is filled with excellence and always achieves the impact it aims for. I feel that the plot of the series in the early seasons lacks a certain level of complexity due to the lack of many threads and the start is a bit slow, but Breaking Bad is a must watch. If you have mixed feelings about the first season, trust me, it gets better from here on out. If ever there was a show you could call perfect, I think it might be this one.
