Synopsis
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer decides to manufacture and sell 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 supposed to be written out of the ninth episode. During the hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and the fact that everyone loved 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 of the cast and crew names are highlighted in green to represent chemical element symbols. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name was highlighted in many early episodes, even though Ch is not a chemical element symbol.
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 quit my job? A company big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ goes out of business. It disappears.
That’s me knocking!
She ceases to exist, without me. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a hint. I’m not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger. A guy opens the door and gets shot, and you think that about me? NO!

The opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table in 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 each cast and crew member. All episodes have been rebroadcast on cable on demand in some areas, commercial-free but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Dead fingers talking working in a nuclear free city. Execution: PERFECT!! Scenario: PERFECT!! Writing: PERFECT!!
