Story
A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer begins making and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family’s future. Celebrate the fan-favorite series Breaking Bad by rewatching some of its most memorable scenes. During the hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed with Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and the fact that everyone liked 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 in the names of the cast and crew are highlighted in green to represent symbols of chemical elements. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’s name was highlighted in several early episodes, even though Ch is not a symbol for a chemical element.
Who do you think you see?
In later episodes, only the “C” (for Carbon) is highlighted. Walter White: Who are you talking to now? 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 not to work anymore?
I AM the danger
A company big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ would go bankrupt. Disappear. Cease to exist without me. No, you obviously don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me give you a hint. I’m not in danger, Skyler.
I’m the one knocking!
A guy opens a door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! In the opening credits, chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements are used as part of 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 the cast and crew. All episodes were rerun in some territories on an on-demand cable channel, commercial-free, but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Edited together in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013).

I want to wipe my brain and look at it again like I never noticed.
