- TriviaThe website that Hank uses is MineralEmporium.com. In real life, this URL redirects to AMC's Breaking Bad (2008) website.
- GoofsIn this episode Gale states that he 'cannot account for the color' of the blue meth. However earlier in the show it is established that the blue coloring comes from the fact it is a methylamine preparation, rather than a pseudoephedrine cook. The lab is clearly set up to run a methylamine cook as when Walt runs it it is churning blue meth out without any mention of coloring, If he has ever cooked before from methylamine then it would have been blue according to the lore of the show.

Featured review
Excellent Season Opener!
This is the first episode of the fourth season of Breaking Bad. It helps that this is yet another fine episode is this ridiculously good television series. There are already blood being spilled and some crazy scenes, and this is only the first episode. The screenplay, once again, serves up some memorable lines. As always, the acting remains very strong as Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul remain as committed as always.
In this episode, "Box Cutter," Walter and Jesse are being held hostage by Mike after Gale was gunned down by Jesse in the last episode of the third season. Meanwhile, Skylar is trying to figure out the reasons of Walt's disappearance and Marie is having trouble keeping up with the rapid depression of Hank, who is still trying to recover from his wounds.
Overall, this is an excellent episode and a table setter for the season, I think. There are some very surprising scenes and one that involves the two words in the episode's title. The tension is once again through the roof, and it seems like I can feel the static in the air. I cannot wait to see what happens next. I rate this episode 9/10.
