Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA professor at the University of Southern California gave Bryan Cranston lessons in chemistry basics for the series, so Cranston was able to correct some writer's mistakes. An actual DEA agent showed the crew and the cast how to make crystal meth. However, some steps were always omitted from the filming to avoid anyone using the show as a "how to" guide.
- GoofsThe names (in the opening credits) contain capitalized letter(s) shown in a different color, referring to the chemical symbols of elements of the periodic table of the elements. In the opening credits of the first two seasons, one of them mistakenly implies that Ch is an element. This mistake is corrected in the following seasons.
- Quotes
Walter H. White: Chemistry is, well technically, chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change.
- Alternate versionsThe version of the pilot episode that was broadcast on IFC (Independent Film Channel) was uncensored and complete uncut. It was around one minute longer than the original aired version on AMC, who censored for example naked breasts via soft focus lens (when Walter watches Jesse escaping through the window Jesse's girlfriend is naked and throws his clothes out).

Performed by Stonewall Jackson
Featured review
Amazing pilot!
After all this time this still remains one og the greatest TV pilots that perfectly sets the tone for the series as well as establishing premise, story and characters! The journey of Walter White begins here and I love how they manage to make it convincing by showing us his Daily life and adding some extra layer of conflict to set things on motion!
The episode perfectly balances humor amd serious issues with a couple of.dramatic sequences to give you a taste of whats to come! Knowing how it ends i also love how much can be Tracey back to this episode!
Breakimg Bad is one of my favorite shows as well as one of the best written shows along with Better Call Saul and Attack on Titan! Always loves to come back to it!
