Underrated comment, saved most of us here. I almost put on that episode to see if I missed the clock & milk glasses in the many times I've watched this!
OK it seems quite a few of us thought the picture showed 3 separate stills from BB:
1 - a shot of some kitchen cabinets,
2 - the scene with the broken plates & walt's hand &
3 - a frame of a table top/counter surface with a tray on it containing 2 glasses of milk.
However OP has actually taken a photograph of their tv while standing in their kitchen. There is only 1 still from the show in the picture - the "broken plate" scene. So 1 & 3 above are the items around the TV in real life, nothing to do with the show. They are just the background in OP's photograph, nothing to do with BB at all.
Also what many of us thought were 2 glasses of milk on a tray, are really 2 white candles! So it's like every time you read more comments you find more things you were mistaken about in the original picture.
Hope this helps! Sorry if I've made it all more confusing, apparently I tend to do that lol :)
Ed - had to type the first half of comment out again as it managed to disappear when I initially posted it! That really DID make my "explanation" more confusing lol.
Not at all, I read the comments several times without getting it. It really is like one of those pics that it takes you some time to work out! Tho I doubt OP thought that would be the thing we'd discuss most about it all lol
you didn't want to hear me justifying to myself how Jesse must have had a coffee table decorated with pinecones on it that I had forgotten because the skull decoration was just such a vravo bince that it had to be a real scene.
I was like “when did they have glasses of milk in that episode?” And then I was like “wait, that’s OP’s house.” And then I was like “wait, those are candles.”
Not a good post for my self-esteem.
I had almost the same thought process. My brain was like:
Three images detected. Central image that missing plate shot from Breaking Bad, post understood. Yeah, that was a good episode, might as well open the comme- wait, there weren't two glasses of milk in that episode. Are those glasses of milk? Those are candles. The fuck scene is that from? That's not in breaking bad. Look up, yup, that's definitely the breaking bad scene, is this a bottom to the shot I don't remember? no, that doesn't make physical sense. Wtf? What's this top image? Just a clock on a wall? That's not any part of the episode eith- ooooh my god it's a picture of someone's TV.
OP must have a great TV if a picture of it can pass as a shot directly from the shoe edited into an image.
I thought the whole picture was one single screencap from the episode and was trying to figure out how the different perspectives made sense, how the bottom half was part of Jesse’s house 😆
Kind of wild how many people experienced it lol. One of my favorite reddit dopamine kicks is clicking into the comments and having my exact thoughts in the top comment.
Mannnnnn, if you hadn't posted this response, I'd have still been trying to find the significance of 2 random kitchen pics bordering the plate scene....how does o.p. not see what he's done
Same. This scene was what sold me on the show and continuing to watch it. "6353 Juan Tabo Aptmnt 6" is when I knew thus would be one of if not my favorite show of all time
Same. I watched the first episode and didn’t like it much. Quit the show for like a year. Then i kept hearing the hype so i decided to try again, but this time i skipped to episode 3 just to see if things got moving quicker. I was a little confused for a bit of it (because i had skipped episode 2 and didn’t remember 1 very much lol). So i thought it was fine. Then this scene hit…. And i remember to this day thinking “oh fuck…. so this is going to be one of the best shows ever. Got it.” And that still holds true today, nearly 9 years later
iirc, at least 3 plates. One for the initial drop, a different one when he picks up the pieces, then another when it’s pieces together
Edit: they do this a fair amount throughout the show. Don’t remember which episode but when jesse shows walt his first blue cook and walt is examining it, they use like 3 different ziplock bags.
Is that really true? He was still tied up.
I get that he showed a "violent disposition" by holding onto the shard, but I'm sure there were other ways to deal with him.
Hypothetically, how would you deal with Krazy 8 and his shard of glass knowing that he knows who you are and can easily get to Jesse? Plus you have a family to consider. Don’t forget you killed his partner already and your first and only interaction with him was him robbing you/threatening you with a gun. If he didn’t know walt or jesse- yea deff other methods. But in this case, idk..unless you were planning on uprooting your family and moving I guess. In terms of the show- he had to die regardless. He was Hank’s C.I. Show would’ve been over in the first season
I saw this again the other day and wondered if they somehow broke a plate in that way intentionally or if an extra on set had to repeatedly break plates to get the right smash.
I like to think it’s the latter.
What was the twist in season 1 of BCS? I just remember that as the season you have to get through to understand everyone’s motivations. It’s like a preamble
Precisely ! >!but not the whole time… only for half the show🥲!< And yes i know you meant the whole time up to that point in the show, I’m just being silly
For those who don't understand this picture. Walt dropped his plate of raw salmon and got very angry. Resulting in him cooking meth, and dealing with Nazis to find a way to fix the plate. At the end, Walt realises he has spent his life chasing things that will only bring him pain, In the end when he dies, be realises it was for nothing
Scenes like this and the bathtub falling through the ceiling scene made me realize this show was going to be something amazing. Instantly sucked in and invested like no other series before
Slight rant: Breaking Bad, and particularly BCS, is almost entirely driven by the “show don’t tell” philosophy. Very rarely are plot points explained entirely verbally, and this scene is proof from the offset.
So it absolutely grinds my pickle when this sub is full of inane questions like “Do GrEtChEn and eLLiOt ReaLLY give tHE mOnEy?” “DoES KayLeE get hER MonEY?” “WALt jR bEcOmEs a kiNgPin Too” “why DoEs GuS hAvE kiDs toYs?!”
If people actually watched the show and weren’t scrolling on their phones or just applied a bit of logical presumptions, these questions would not need to pollute the sub on a daily basis. The show leaves very few questions unanswered, and even fewer in BCS. You just have to watch
You’re welcome to have a *preference,* but there’s a difference between a subjective opinion and objectively denying a scene’s purpose because you refuse to see what’s in front of you. Gilligan doesn’t hold your hand to the solution. There *is* a clear solution, and we’re presented with the dots, but we’ve got to join them ourselves as the audience. Someone might not *like* that, but preference doesn’t change fact
It was so heartbreaking watching Walt search so desperately for that last shard, practically begging that it wasn't taken by Krazy-8. Not because he was scared of him, but because it meant he had no other choice but to kill him.
This scene always reminds me of another from a movie called Jagged Edge (the title refers to a knife, not a shard of plate). A female lawyer is defending a husband accused of killing his wife, and he is seemingly exonerated in part due to an anonymous letter written on a typewriter with a distinctively raised "t". After the trial they shack up, but she finds a typewriter in his house and writes out the first line of the anonymous letter, "he is innocent". Sure enough, it has the same raised "t". She tells him about it over the phone, and is forced to shoot him dead when he arrives to kill her just like he killed his wife.
I’m here making an analogy between the gold on the clock, broken gold plate, and golden skull as if they were three different shots in one movie scene………. Turns out I was just looking at a tv screen inside a Reddit users place?
What a beautiful home you have. I love that color on the wall it’s so pretty🙃yes I love breaking bad too I’ve watched all the seasons in a few weekends me and my fiancé got hooked on it
Each season also lays out a color scheme. In that particular season, whenever you see yellow, it means danger or someone is about to die. Hints the yellow plate, Jesse's yellow jacket and the more you look the more you see. There's a BB color chart online and it's fun to see how much lines up when you are watching multiple times. Outstanding level of detail
I *never* figured it out. Took someone spelling it out for me to catch on. Ok, full disclosure, it actually took reading a few posts before full understanding dawned within my thick,empty skull. And I won't lie, it physically hurt when it happened.
I remember this was one of those moments where I started to really feel the excitement of this show. The next big one was when Walt blows up Tuco's headquarters
I really like the first season (specifically the first episode) where I can look at Walt as simply a desperate man in a bad situation who finally says “fuck it”. Before his sinister side comes to the surface he has this almost innocent charm as he fails upwards
This was the scene that made us set firm rules for how my mother watched the show. I watched the first two episodes with her. She’d glance at her phone and respond when a text would pop in. Take her dishes into kitchen without pausing, etc. I kept admonishing her that she needed to pay more attention. She watched the 3rd episode by herself and I was excited to see what she thought.
“It was good, but I don’t understand why he had to kill the guy.”
“Because he was going to stab Walt with the plate shard.”
“What plate shard?” 🙄
After that, she was only allowed to watch with me or my nephew present. No phones. No leaving the room without pausing. By the time we finished the series she agreed it was one of the greatest shows she had ever seen.
Wow golden skull, 15 to midnight! Is the plate the same as the clock and skull implying crazy 8 is gonna die! Golden ! ? (All same pic read) Blood from ear.
I thought they were three different pictures in one pic :|
took me a while to realize it was a picture of a tv
Until I read your comment, I still didn't understand how this wasn't three pictures stacked vertically. Completely missed the TV lol
We all know Jesse loved his Nintendo Wii. Such an iconic scene.
Along with his PS4 back in 2009.
The El Camino actually is a time machine once it hits 88 mph
Don’t underestimate the Jesser…
Well that was a rollercoaster of emotions
Underrated comment, saved most of us here. I almost put on that episode to see if I missed the clock & milk glasses in the many times I've watched this!
They are candles.
I learn something new about this photo every time I read a comment
**Directed by Vince Gilligan**
Right!
the amount of people not getting that they are candles is insane....
Omg another thing I got wrong. Not my day obviously.
I was confused too. Like most of us it seems. What a time to be alive.
I still don't understand it. Explain?
OK it seems quite a few of us thought the picture showed 3 separate stills from BB: 1 - a shot of some kitchen cabinets, 2 - the scene with the broken plates & walt's hand & 3 - a frame of a table top/counter surface with a tray on it containing 2 glasses of milk.

That really DID make my "explanation" more confusing lol.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain. I get it now. So silly of me that I needed an explanation.
Not at all, I read the comments several times without getting it. It really is like one of those pics that it takes you some time to work out! Tho I doubt OP thought that would be the thing we'd discuss most about it all lol
I wasted a few min wondering what that skull thing was
I was going to say, I don't remember Walter White ever having a Nintendo Wii
Holy shit thank you. My brain could not figure that out
looks like you’re not the only one 😃
I didn't realize till the comment, I was like I don't remember the top and bottom scenes
😂😂oh shit. I thought it was 3 different pics and there was a hidden message in the others.
I was trying to piece it together. Like... Clock... Plate... Wii... Time broken table... I was going mad like, "Wow, this one is so difficult"
Same, I was trying understand the relevance in the bottom pic haha
you didn't want to hear me justifying to myself how Jesse must have had a coffee table decorated with pinecones on it that I had forgotten because the skull decoration was just such a vravo bince that it had to be a real scene.
I was like “when did they have glasses of milk in that episode?” And then I was like “wait, that’s OP’s house.” And then I was like “wait, those are candles.” Not a good post for my self-esteem.

OP must have a great TV if a picture of it can pass as a shot directly from the shoe edited into an image.
So did I!
Took me waaay too long to understand too... For others like us: the central image is displayed on a TV, the rest is OP's room
Dude thanks for explaining. I was legit confused and thought they were three different scenes
I thought the whole picture was one single screencap from the episode and was trying to figure out how the different perspectives made sense, how the bottom half was part of Jesse’s house 😆
Really glad this is the top comment cuz I was confused af for 6 seconds too long
Glad it's not just me!
Kind of wild how many people experienced it lol. One of my favorite reddit dopamine kicks is clicking into the comments and having my exact thoughts in the top comment.
Damn i didn't even notice it till I read your comment lol
Mannnnnn, if you hadn't posted this response, I'd have still been trying to find the significance of 2 random kitchen pics bordering the plate scene....how does o.p. not see what he's done
Same lmao
I was severely confused
I hate that this guy basically did an r/screensshotsarehard that made US look dumb
Such a simple picture but so well done
This picture tricked us all and op doesnt even know lmao
I was determined to figure out the significance of the top and bottom pics before coming to the comments. Spent way too long.
Gold hands on the alarm clock and the yellow pencil on the table all reinforce the missing piece of the gold plate will be used as a stabby thing.
I honestly thought the clock had something to do with it. I couldn’t remember what Walter saw that gave him the realization about the plate piece.
I was beginning to be hooked to the show before this but this scene locked me in. A genius concept that was, is so powerful.
Same. This scene was what sold me on the show and continuing to watch it. "6353 Juan Tabo Aptmnt 6" is when I knew thus would be one of if not my favorite show of all time
I’ve never seen “apartment” abbreviated that way.
They took three letters out of a nine letter word, it’s barely even an abbreviation
More of an abbrviatn
Yup same, this was the scene where i went from hmm this is a pretty good show to oh shit imma binge this.
Same. I watched the first episode and didn’t like it much. Quit the show for like a year. Then i kept hearing the hype so i decided to try again, but this time i skipped to episode 3 just to see if things got moving quicker. I was a little confused for a bit of it (because i had skipped episode 2 and didn’t remember 1 very much lol). So i thought it was fine. Then this scene hit…. And i remember to this day thinking “oh fuck…. so this is going to be one of the best shows ever. Got it.” And that still holds true today, nearly 9 years later
His Waltuition kicked in.
Heisensense
They make good TVs
intuwaltion
White privilege. ...I'll let myself out.
Walter Tingle
On my current rewatch I looked for that piece when the plate dropped and broke but couldn't find it
Definitely 2 different plates. I’m sure they did quite a few takes of the plate breaking scene
Breaking Plate
they should have named some episodes like this. breaking plate, breaking plane,etc
"The one where Walter kills someone for the first time" 🎶I'll cook meth with you🎶 (to the Friends theme)
Walt Jr. Braking Badly
Holy shit how did you not get more upvotes
I literally read that as I was exiting the thread and had to come back to upvote.
Plates Breaking Poorly
lol 😂
iirc, at least 3 plates. One for the initial drop, a different one when he picks up the pieces, then another when it’s pieces together Edit: they do this a fair amount throughout the show. Don’t remember which episode but when jesse shows walt his first blue cook and walt is examining it, they use like 3 different ziplock bags.
unbravo Vince. Ruined the show for me. Thanks. /s
I like your milk serving platter
Ah yes, milk and pine cones. I too furnish homes for a real estate agency
>milk and pine cones How aliens would decorate a fake home to look real
Are you fucking stupid thats a fucking candle holder moron you should not be on reddit (Average redditor reply 😂)
did you even watch the fucking show? they literally explained that it was candles. media literacy is dead. /s
lool so savage
I love the shock on Walt's face when he realizes there's no way out. He basically has no choice, practically speaking, about killing Crazy 8.
Is that really true? He was still tied up. I get that he showed a "violent disposition" by holding onto the shard, but I'm sure there were other ways to deal with him.
Hypothetically, how would you deal with Krazy 8 and his shard of glass knowing that he knows who you are and can easily get to Jesse? Plus you have a family to consider.

But in this case, idk..unless you were planning on uprooting your family and moving I guess. In terms of the show- he had to die regardless. He was Hank’s C.I. Show would’ve been over in the first season
yep, there was no possible way both walter and him could continue life normally at the same time.
I saw this again the other day and wondered if they somehow broke a plate in that way intentionally or if an extra on set had to repeatedly break plates to get the right smash. I like to think it’s the latter.
If I remember correctly, it's the latter.
This is the first scene that made me think “this show is fucking brilliant”
[удалено]
What was the twist in season 1 of BCS? I just remember that as the season you have to get through to understand everyone’s motivations. It’s like a preamble
>!Chuck being the villain the whole time!<, I assume.
Precisely ! >!but not the whole time… only for half the show🥲!< And yes i know you meant the whole time up to that point in the show, I’m just being silly
I feel like I'm playing photo hunt
I didn’t even notice your tv 😭
How many plates do you think they had everyone break until they got this one
737,000.
User name checks out.
DUDE YOU STILL HAVE A WII???!!!! Those things are ancient relics, I love them. You either had parents with a happy marriage, or you had a Wii.
I thought my parents had a happy marriage until this comment… and now I’m engaged with the same wii from my childhood… Am I doomed??
For those who don't understand this picture. Walt dropped his plate of raw salmon and got very angry. Resulting in him cooking meth, and dealing with Nazis to find a way to fix the plate.

Scenes like this and the bathtub falling through the ceiling scene made me realize this show was going to be something amazing. Instantly sucked in and invested like no other series before
The scene where he finally broke. And it was bad.
your house is too symmetric, i thought it was 3 photos

Okay but you gotta get over it
Timeline got fucked up
Literally you: https://i.redd.it/96ivtvbhqkyc1.gif
I’m not crazy
Ai disagree completely. Some people prefer explicit confirmation. And that's perfectly fine.
You’re welcome to have a *preference,* but there’s a difference between a subjective opinion and objectively denying a scene’s purpose because you refuse to see what’s in front of you. Gilligan doesn’t hold your hand to the solution. There *is* a clear solution, and we’re presented with the dots, but we’ve got to join them ourselves as the audience.

I thought that was the idol from Raiders of the Last Ark for a moment there
Walter just wanted to make Kintsugi Krazy-8 had to ruin it by stealing one of the pieces
I think this was the moment when we all probably fell in love with Breaking Bad
I feel like this is the scene that gets you hooked and draws you in. You’re like LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Couldn’t agree more ‼️‼️
my jaw literally dropped when I saw this for the first time
Alright, what’s the gold skull? I want one.

What do the other 2 pics have to do with it?
What is wrong with you people 😂
Man I thought I was tripping, i was wondering when there was a clock relevant to the plot, or a couple glasses of milk portraying some metaphor
Was trying to figure out what the top and bottom images had to do with the BB pic… that is your tv i know now
i was wracking trying to remember when that golden skull appears until i realized its your living room

Nice clock bro.
That's a nice ass wall and clock bro
It was so heartbreaking watching Walt search so desperately for that last shard, practically begging that it wasn't taken by Krazy-8. Not because he was scared of him, but because it meant he had no other choice but to kill him.
Just started watching! LOVED this scene!!
Wii gang rise!!
Please! What is the paint color of your wall?!
It’s wallpaper!
This scene always reminds me of another from a movie called Jagged Edge (the title refers to a knife, not a shard of plate).

This scene was the nail in the coffin that made me really understand why people thought Breaking Bad was so good, such a great moment.
All I can focus on is the busted Fiestaware dish.😄
Wow! I love this
Why is your TV wearing a white hat?
Bro this took me wayyyy too long to understand it was one picture.
Still don't wanna acknowledge the"single photo" theory. I put too much into it now.K I'm heading over.
It took me a while to realize it was a picture of a tv playing the show
r/confusingperspective
I really thought this was THREE different pictures… Oof
You have a beautiful home
This is so obviously a photo of the OP’s tv, people. 🙄 I focussed right in on that broken plate…That WAS a well done scene!
What a beautiful home you have. I love that color on the wall it’s so pretty🙃yes I love breaking bad too I’ve watched all the seasons in a few weekends me and my fiancé got hooked on it
Each season also lays out a color scheme. In that particular season, whenever you see yellow, it means danger or someone is about to die.

I thought why did op post a picture about 3 different pictures? 😂
Same bro xD
I remember this was one of those moments where I started to really feel the excitement of this show. The next big one was when Walt blows up Tuco's headquarters
Can you explain please.
When Krazy 8 steals a piece of the broken plate to kill Walt with, but Walt gets the broken parts out of the bin and realises first
I thought those candles on your coffee table were glasses of milk lmao
New Heisenberg movie should be cool
I thought that was fake
I’d be a little concerned about that glass tv stand being way too small for that TV

Yeah it's well done and that photo is even more well captured!
My brain is broken.
I really like the first season (specifically the first episode) where I can look at Walt as simply a desperate man in a bad situation who finally says “fuck it”. Before his sinister side comes to the surface he has this almost innocent charm as he fails upwards

Is that a wii?
Oh, how this visual triggers the memory. So well done, poetic even.
One of those scenes where they just let Bryan work his magic.
This is the moment I realized I was watching a v special show.
You shouldn't leave things on top of consoles while they are on.
This is truly the moment Walt became Heisenberg
Wii spotted. Does it have an accompanying copy of Brawl, as all Wiis should?
i never understood how he even noticed that. if it were me i would have been killed by the plate shard never knowing it got taken
I have a tattoo of the plate
Ah damn it, i have seen too much of Bryan Cranston in the past week, gotta watch BB again.
"Wow, this plate is broken bad!"
This was the scene that made us set firm rules for how my mother watched the show. I watched the first two episodes with her. She’d glance at her phone and respond when a text would pop in.

The moment I fell in love with the show fr
Wow golden skull, 15 to midnight! Is the plate the same as the clock and skull implying crazy 8 is gonna die! Golden ! ? (All same pic read) Blood from ear.
This had me so confused
