Story
A chemistry teacher with inoperable lung cancer turns to making and selling meth 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. During the writers’ strike hiatus, creator Vince Gilligan, impressed by Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jesse and how much everyone just loved Paul, decided to bring the character back and place Jesse’s fate in the hands of 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 symbols for chemical elements. However, the “Ch” in Michael Slovis’ name was prominently featured 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 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 you suddenly decided to stop working?
I AM the danger
A company big enough to be listed on NASDAQ goes bankrupt. It disappears. It 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’m the one who knocks!
A guy opens the door and gets shot, and you think that’s me? No! The opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements 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 the cast and crew. All episodes have been rebroadcast on an on-demand cable channel in some areas, commercial-free but with additional scenes not included on AMC. Edited in CollegeHumor Originals: Breaking Bad/Walking Dead Mash-Up (2013).

I want to wipe my brain and watch it again like I never knew it.
