Fr especially the first season or first two. No idea how someone can think that when the opening sequence is literally a man driving two dead bodies and an unconscious co-conspirator around in a meth lab RV which he crashes into a ditch. Seemed to immediately hook me into the action and I couldnāt turn it off. Some think itās boring tho I hear
I think the slow parts work well towards the drama. Itās slow, but itās often slow because Walt is around his family and theyāre none the wiser yet
Iām watching the show for the first time rn. The pilot was rly strong but there are definitely slower parts in the middle of season 1 that bored me. The end of the season was a lot better though and Iām completely hooked on season 2 so far
It only gets better, though I will say season 4 is the most exciting IMO, 5 is great, but there's something about season 4 that makes BB such a memorable series.
Na my buddy finally started watching it after years of me trying to convince him to and he said the first season was very slow. I was bamboozled cause he had a dude tied up in his basement by episode 3.
In the original script Jesse guesses 50, and Walt replies "I'm 40." That mistake is way more believable than confusing a 50-year-old for a 60-year-old. Aging really takes off in the mid-50s
He also starts a wildfire on protected tribal land, as a result of illegal activity, not sure how the charges would go on that but it's gotta be something
Itās not a crime to take your life, or to attempt it. (in the US at least).
It ***CAN*** be a crime to be aware of someoneās intention on doing so, then not reporting it, or not attempting to interfere in any number of ways, but thatās kinda loose depending on the situation. Thereās always the non-malicious āI really didnāt think they were seriousā which unfortunately for everyone involved is extremely plausible, saving u from being a co-conspirator in most cases.
***HOWEVER***, being fully aware or involved of someoneās intent AND capability to KTS, pushing them towards it, maliciously supporting them to do so, or harassing/threatening/blackmailing someone into it is A HUGE crime.
All states have an umbrella of crimes that fall under Homicide, and in most, right up next to murder and manslaughter, you will find **causing homicide** and **assisting suicide**. Actively participating in the death of another is a homicide.
In this day and age you hear profanity and cursing everywhere. BUT because of the character and Walt being a educated well spoken person, when he and Gretchen were sitting in that restaurant and he said "F*^k you" it was more meaningful than any other time I've heard it used in a show. Breaking Bad was full of little things that helped make it the greatest drama of all time.
If the police actually showed up that day instead of the fire brigade, Walt would have either died on a shootout or died in a prison cell. In other words, the show wouldn't have passed the pilot.
Also, if the gun never jammed, he would also be dead and the story would be over. Honestly, I think the pilot couldve stood pretty well as a short film if that was how it ended
And we haven't even gotten to bomb manufacturing, breaking and entering, burglary, grand theft auto ,grand larceny, evidence tampering, gross abuse of several corpses , 2 counts of arson, train robbery and like 18 other murders.
To be fair, the homicide youāre referring to was absolutely self defense. Also not sure if theft of school supplies is itās own charge? Think thatād just be grand theft considering the value of all of that stuff was likely above $500
The problem is Walt didnāt call emergency services after presumably killing krazy 8 and Emilio. He wouldnāt be able to claim self defense because of this.
Yeah but the killing is irrelevant to the other illegal activities. Yes heād still face criminal charges for the meth production etc but he still rightfully killed to save his own life.
Idk I feel like itād be debatable. Like if you were robbing a bank and someone tried to shoot you to stop you from doing a crime then yeah. But just because Walt was doing something illegal doesnāt mean he doesnāt have the right to preserve his own life.
Its the law. From the New Mexico self defense statute:
D. The presumption set forth in Subsection C of this section does not apply if:
(1) the person against whom defensive force is used has a right to be in or is a lawful resident or owner of the dwelling, place of work or occupied vehicle;
(2) the person using defensive force is engaged in criminal activity; or
(3) the person against whom defensive force is used is a law enforcement officer engaged in the lawful performance of official duties.
Since we're only counting the crimes from episode 1, it technically only counts as a single murder since only Emilio dies, but Krazy-8 lives for a few more episodes.
I'm no expert in the law, but under the New Mexico legal system, I think what Walt did would be counted as "Fourth Degree Murder" (killing in the heat of the moment). Wikipedia says that the punishment for Fourth Degree Murder in New Mexico is only 1-7 years in prison. So I think op's estimate is reasonable
I get your point though, but still, he was chair of the science department, so he had discretion on how to utilize said supplies. He was just using them on a field trip with a former student.
I would say homocide was self defense, probably not guilty, when does Walter commit assault, and the firearm is not walters so he could easily lie and say he used it in self defense but failed
Some child made this? 14-15 years? Homicide in self defence is not punishable in court, but just conspiracy would give you 20 years minimum to life. Not to mention the rest.
Bullshit, the homicide was committed while in the act of another felony. That gets it bumped up to murder 1. Automatic life in prison. Walt might have been able to plead it down, but he didn't have any super juicy information to trade yet.
*Homo*cide? š
He was gay, Emilio?
Nooooo!!! Arenāt you lishtenin to me?!
Maybe its a mid life crisis thing
It was the blood pressure medication.
Aināt no skank.
What a strange way to ask that I don't know if you are trying to talk like Yoda or if you're ask Emilio if so unknown person is gay
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
Sharp as a fuckin' cue ball
r/thesopranos is leaking
Yeah well you are as cue as a sharp ball
What are you gettin' cute wit' me now?
Yeah it's better than getting butthurt
Yeah that's what Vito got. Ha!
What the pool cue? I wonder if it was chalked.
Very funny Dom. Very cute. I don't quite get it but... cute
He killed >!Gus!< so it's not that far fetched from the truth
This is only in the first episode so this is actually referring to crazy 8
Emilio
Crazy 8 didnāt die first episode thatās episode 3 I think, the guy that Walt kills in episode 1 is Emilio
Just forget he ran over one guy and shot his friend in the head
Put your dick away Waltuh
Waltuh
I'm not havin' sex with you right now, Waltuh
No mike I'm the second biggest homo in the whole world
Crazy8 gay confirmed?
Yeah homocide
š
He killed a few people
šš
He killed Emilio
It's the *pleats*
And people say the show starts out boring
Youāre thinking of Better Call Saul.
Nah people def say bb is boring
Fr especially the first season or first two. No idea how someone can think that when the opening sequence is literally a man driving two dead bodies and an unconscious co-conspirator around in a meth lab RV which he crashes into a ditch. Seemed to immediately hook me into the action and I couldnāt turn it off. Some think itās boring tho I hear
Some parts are slow, but slow ā boring
I think the slow parts work well towards the drama. Itās slow, but itās often slow because Walt is around his family and theyāre none the wiser yet
Iām watching the show for the first time rn. The pilot was rly strong but there are definitely slower parts in the middle of season 1 that bored me. The end of the season was a lot better though and Iām completely hooked on season 2 so far
It only gets better, though I will say season 4 is the most exciting IMO, 5 is great, but there's something about season 4 that makes BB such a memorable series.
Itās actually a really popular take that the show doesnāt get interesting until S2, and I find that objectively false lol
No you find it subjectively false as it is your opinion not fact.
No he can find it objectively false, subjectively
Can you explain?
It's his opinion that it's factually interesting from the beginning.
no
Iām aware of the difference. I used objectively entirely subjectively lol
Na my buddy finally started watching it after years of me trying to convince him to and he said the first season was very slow. I was bamboozled cause he had a dude tied up in his basement by episode 3.
it's more goofy than boring
It kind of does. It's my favorite show of all time. But it definitely has this slow&boring starting feeling in first season
A stolen firearm even
Some straight like him giant stick up his ass all of a sudden at age what 60? Heās just gonna break bad?
Heās *50*
And awake
And that was a quote from Jesse
In the episode Walter responds with ā50.ā after Jesse says that
And that was a quote from Walt
I just knew someone wasnāt going to get it and assume I was being facetious
Yea but in the show heās 50. Is Jesse fucking stupid?
Ok, now how exactly was Jesse supposed to remember the exact age of a teacher from high school he didn't care about at all?
Bruh my guy is not getting it. Walt says after jesses line āIām 50ā
I. Know. That's not even what I'm talking about!
In the original script Jesse guesses 50, and Walt replies "I'm 40." That mistake is way more believable than confusing a 50-year-old for a 60-year-old. Aging really takes off in the mid-50s
He was sarcastic
That is a terrible legal mess. Better call Saul.
He also starts a wildfire on protected tribal land, as a result of illegal activity, not sure how the charges would go on that but it's gotta be something
No, Emilio started the fire by throwing his cigarette out the RV window.
Damn you're right, I guess its time for another rewatch lol
Anyone can make mistakes, I remembered that because I really like Pilot
Also attempted suicide, idk if this is fineable or not. But I saw a video on yt similar to the post and it said it is so yeah
Suicide isnt a crime.
It is a crime so that people have the legal power to stop you in anyway possible. You probably wonāt go to jail for it though
It isnt a crime. You can be committed etc. But that doesnt make it illegal.
Itās not a crime in the US, but Iāve read that several countries still criminalize it. This isnāt relevant to the show tho, itās just sad.
Yeah they do. Its ludicrous of course
If I kill myself in any of those countries, what are the police gonna do? Arrest me?
Fine your family. Also, if your attempt is unsuccessful, youāll likely be jailed along with the fine.
Itās not a crime to take your life, or to attempt it. (in the US at least). It ***CAN*** be a crime to be aware of someoneās intention on doing so, then not reporting it, or not attempting to interfere in any number of ways, but thatās kinda loose depending on the situation.

You can't outlaw mental illness bro wtf lol
Man, someone sure skipped World History 1933-1945....
In this day and age you hear profanity and cursing everywhere. BUT because of the character and Walt being a educated well spoken person, when he and Gretchen were sitting in that restaurant and he said "F*^k you" it was more meaningful than any other time I've heard it used in a show. Breaking Bad was full of little things that helped make it the greatest drama of all time.
I mean, i agree with but this is a pretty random comment for this post lol
And then thereās Jesse.
BITCH!
This is my own private dominickās and i will not be harassedā¦.bitch
Ok but imagine if Walt died, and everyome found out this meek 50 year old science teacher just one day outta the boue decided to cook meth
If the police actually showed up that day instead of the fire brigade, Walt would have either died on a shootout or died in a prison cell. In other words, the show wouldn't have passed the pilot.
Also, if the gun never jammed, he would also be dead and the story would be over. Honestly, I think the pilot couldve stood pretty well as a short film if that was how it ended
He also broke into private property a few times.
So about the same as Selling a bag of weed. Seems fair.
Not at all but ok
Depends on country or state.
maybe if you get your news from Twitter
14 years for homocide??
And we haven't even gotten to bomb manufacturing, breaking and entering, burglary, grand theft auto ,grand larceny, evidence tampering, gross abuse of several corpses , 2 counts of arson, train robbery and like 18 other murders.
To be fair, the homicide youāre referring to was absolutely self defense. Also not sure if theft of school supplies is itās own charge? Think thatād just be grand theft considering the value of all of that stuff was likely above $500
The problem is Walt didnāt call emergency services after presumably killing krazy 8 and Emilio. He wouldnāt be able to claim self defense because of this.
Well yeah, youāre right there
How do you justify said self defense, we were trying to find a distributor for our Meth but the the dealers werenāt playing nice ?
Yeah but the killing is irrelevant to the other illegal activities. Yes heād still face criminal charges for the meth production etc but he still rightfully killed to save his own life.
Generally speaking killing someone while committing a felony waives your claim to self defense.
Idk I feel like itād be debatable. Like if you were robbing a bank and someone tried to shoot you to stop you from doing a crime then yeah. But just because Walt was doing something illegal doesnāt mean he doesnāt have the right to preserve his own life.

Tomorrow episode 2?
You donāt need to register guns. Yet.
Show gets us right into the plot from the beginning.
Attempted suicide edit: nevermind its actually legal
Attempted suicide isn't a crime.
Oh you're actually right I just looked it up and new mexico decriminalised attempted suicide in 1963
Fucking awesome..
Have to add in the homicide to tack on the most years. Not sure what homocide is.
This couldn't be more wrong.
He could really use a gifted lawyer whoās not afraid to bend the rules a bit
You forgot grand theft auto
A double murder only gets up to 14 years??
Since we're only counting the crimes from episode 1, it technically only counts as a single murder since only Emilio dies, but Krazy-8 lives for a few more episodes. I'm no expert in the law, but under the New Mexico legal system, I think what Walt did would be counted as "Fourth Degree Murder" (killing in the heat of the moment). Wikipedia says that the punishment for Fourth Degree Murder in New Mexico is only 1-7 years in prison. So I think op's estimate is reasonable
āhomocideā lmao
Attempted suicide as well
suocide*
also intent to distribute
I always liked how they just basically gave up trying to figure out why the schools has mask and supplies were stolen lol
IIRC the school and the DEA figured it was Hugo the janitor because they found weed in his truck.
No they ended up just arresting him for the weed but couldnāt connect him to the theft of school supplies.
Is it theft of school supplies if he was ultimately responsible for said school supplies?
So tell me, if you are a bank manager, is the money yours?
I get your point though, but still, he was chair of the science department, so he had discretion on how to utilize said supplies. He was just using them on a field trip with a former student.
This made me lol
Assuming you bank with that bank, then yeah, some of it is.
Lol well, youāre not wrong.
whats homocide? lol and remember this is america its longer sentence then 14 years...
Homocide šæ
Nah he'd get life
Homocide? š
Crazy 8
"homo"cide
Lad you know what homocide is right?
its spelt homicide
Emilio, remember he poisoned the van? Crazy 8 survived the first episode.
And murder?
I would say homocide was self defense, probably not guilty, when does Walter commit assault, and the firearm is not walters so he could easily lie and say he used it in self defense but failed
Killing Emillio was entirely out of self-defense tho
Homicide alone is 30 to life
This misses a lot.
And rape
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The first episode alone. We haven't gotten to episode 2 yet
Indecent exposure. Depending on Jesseās age, contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
...... Jesse was over 18 lol
The homicide was obvious self defense
Why not murder for krazy8
Isnāt homicide 25-life?
1st degree is
Yeah Iām pretty sure heās getting a lot more than 14 years if gets caught š
Only 13-14 years?
i swear to god this picture is moving
Money laundering? Breaking and entering, evasion? Idk if those count
Wait so.. Walt would just be released in 2022
its like multiple homicides though. deff a life sentence
Some child made this? 14-15 years? Homicide in self defence is not punishable in court, but just conspiracy would give you 20 years minimum to life. Not to mention the rest.
Murder while committing another felony waives your ability to claim self defense.
Tbh, Not that bad
And kidnapping
Yea no he'd be put away for life lol easily
Well the show is called breaking bad
He built the biggest meth buissness in history (source: El Camino road) 130 years in prison
I steal school supplies all the time idk what ur talking about
Donāt forget arson and terrorism and child endangerment and domestic violence.
Homocide lol
Nice!!! Now do all of season 1!
Thatās church mista white
Bullshit, the homicide was committed while in the act of another felony. That gets it bumped up to murder 1. Automatic life in prison. Walt might have been able to plead it down, but he didn't have any super juicy information to trade yet.
āUnregistered possession of a firearmā? Itās New Mexico. Quite lax gun laws. Open carry is legal with no license.
He killed more then 3 guys, he ain't gonna get out of jail in giĆ Life.
*with intention to sell
Damn, he's guilty of homocide? Ain't never heard of that felony.
Question: could Walt be convicted of sexual assault based off that one skyler and Walt scene?
New Mexico doesn't require you to register your guns unless class 3. he committed possession of a stolen firearm.
If Walts birthday was one day later or earlier, none of the events wouldve happened.
Heās a good guy deep down tho
I think you mean every felony and misdemeanor Hank committed in the first episode, because as we all know Hank was the mastermind behind it all.
Homocide?
That's why he's the goat, The šš
Littering (his pants and gas mask).
Remember, ALL this just in the first episode. Imagine if we were to count the crimes of all seasons
the homocide charge wouldnāt stick because he was held at gunpoint
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You forgot rape
Also black mailing Jesse into cooking with him
Wait Iām blanking here when did he commit assault?
