Call me Heisenberg”! Oh yeah, go to the party with this fake gun and be the badass you are already. Eddie did very little and he was very convincing,” Esposito told the Toronto Sun. “I also thought he was a bit flat, but he did very, very little in playing [Castillo] and I thought it was really effective. Juxtaposed to Philip Michael [Thomas] and Don [Johnson], who were at times a bit full of themselves but were doing a little bit of acting, Eddie was just doing his job. And I wanted Gus to be in that mode." 10. GILLIGAN GOT SOME HELP FROM THE WALKING DEAD CREW FOR FRING’S FINAL EPISODE. Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo "Gus" Fring (seasons 3–4; guest season 2),a Chilean high-level drug distributor who has a cover as an owner of the fast-food chain Los Pollos Hermanos. Esposito stated that for the third season, he incorporated his yoga training in his performance. 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. [27] 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).

Frustratingly, those party-pooping Mythbusters have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there’s no way this “little tweak of chemistry” would have worked the way it was shown, with the dream destroyers explaining that even if Walt had a big enough hunk of fulminated mercury to do the job, everyone in the room would have died in the process. Next they’ll tell us that ‘ wire{Normally I'm very nice on set and amenable to talking to folks, but this day I didn't talk to anyone,” he adds. “I was very, very, very quiet. And I let the whole world spin around me, because I knew that I wanted to be so focused and I didn't want anything to take me out of that. So that sort of became the way I worked. And, you know, if you talk to Bryan, he'll tell you that sometimes he was frightened by that. He's said I'd look into his eyes, and my eyes would just go dead. I wouldn't be there anymore. And that's part of what I do.” Robert Forster as Ed Galbraith– A vacuum cleaner repairman whose undercover business is a new identity specialist. This is the cheapy version of the above respirator.

Archived from the original on March 7, 2014 . Retrieved March 6, 2014. For the first season, the series saw a generally positive reception. New York Post critic Linda Stasi praised the series, particularly the acting of Cranston and Paul, stating "Cranston and Paul are so good, it's astounding. I'd say the two have created great chemistry, but I'm ashamed to say such a cheap thing." [134] Robert Bianco of USA Today also praised Cranston and Paul, exclaiming "There is humor in the show, mostly in Walt's efforts to impose scholarly logic on the business and on his idiot apprentice, a role Paul plays very well. But even their scenes lean toward the suspenseful, as the duo learns that killing someone, even in self-defense, is ugly, messy work." [135]

Marius Stan, who played Bogdan, Walter’s boss at the car wash, wasn’t a familiar face to many of the show’s viewers. That’s because the series was his (and his eyebrows’) acting debut. In real life, rather coincidentally, he has a PhD in chemistry and, according to a Reddit AMA, is a “Senior Computational Energy Scientist at Argonne National Lab—which is one of the national laboratories under the U.S. Dept. of Energy—and a Senior Fellow at the University of Chicago, the Computation Institute." 14. WALTER WHITE’S ALTER EGO IS A NOD TO A REAL PERSON. Pride/hubris is a major theme in Walter White's tragic character arc. In an interview with The Village Voice, Gilligan identified the tipping point at which Walt "breaks bad" as his prideful decision not to accept Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz's offer to pay for his chemotherapy (season 1, episode 5): Neuman, Clayton (March 11, 2008). "Q&A: RJ Mitte (Walter Jr.)". AMC. Archived from the original on January 9, 2012 . Retrieved December 20, 2011. Walter White's name is reminiscent of the poet Walt Whitman. [92] During the series, Gale Boetticher gives Walt a copy of Whitman's Leaves of Grass. [105] Prior to giving this gift, Boetticher recites "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer". [106] In the episode " Bullet Points", Hank finds the initials W.W. written in Boetticher's notes, and jokes with Walt that they are his initials, although Walt indicates that they must refer to Whitman.a b c d e f g Dibdin, Emma (January 16, 2018).

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.

In the first episode of the third season, Walt finds the teddy bear's missing eye in the pool skimmer. Television critic Myles McNutt has called it "a symbol of the damage [Walter] feels responsible for", [98] and The A.V. Club commented that "the pink teddy bear continues to accuse." [99] Fans and critics have compared the appearance of the teddy bear's face to an image of Gus Fring's face in the fourth-season finale. [100]
