A chemistry professor diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer begins manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family’s future. “Breaking Bad” revisits some of the most memorable scenes that were originally supposed to be written for episode nine. During a hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse, as well as the fact that Paul liked him, decided to bring back the character and give Jesse’s fate to another character. In the first season finale, the letters of the cast and crew’s names are highlighted in green to represent symbols for chemical elements. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name is 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. Walter White: Who are you talking to now? Who do you think you’re seeing? 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 company 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 I’ll give you some advice. I’m not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that about me? No! I’m calling! The opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements as part of the name: 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 have been reruns on cable on-demand in some areas, commercial-free, but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Edited in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013). Dead fingers talk while working in a city without nuclear power. When you finish the show, you’ll never be the same… I guarantee it.
