Breaking Bad: Season 1 Key Scenes by Colm Watkins in London, England

But the real fun of Breaking Bad would be its careful storytelling, not so much detail-oriented as detail-obsessed. In the flashback scene, we see Walt grab the video camera and destroy the videotape. He’s meticulous, but not meticulous enough. He doesn’t see his gas mask, left behind in the desert, the first clue Hank will find that begins the series-long Mystery of Heisenberg. And his murder method wasn’t clean enough. There’s the sound of someone moving from the rear of the RV. Krazy-8 is still alive. This is the moment that defines Breaking Bad, I think: The revelation that Walt’s apparently simple actions have unforeseen consequences. It seemed easy and justified to kill a man in self-defense, in the heat of a dangerous moment — but what about now, when he’s held prisoner, when Walt doesn’t even want to be a criminal anymore?

#Breaking Good Companion for 1x02: Walt does crush the confession tape from 1x01. This is a popular misconception/oversight.
