The whole notion of having a meth lab in customer's housing was the most genius idea in the show, second being the massive laundry room setup. But this is elegant, having all your equipment in modular cases, plug-and-play, and then easy to pack up when done and then move to the next house.....simply brilliant.
Imagine all those households who later found out on the news that the fumigation company was actually a thieve circle. And to make matters worse...their entire house got "methed up" by Americas most wanted Drug Kingpin as well lol
It's kinda crazy how Walter manages to mess up every good situation he gets. The money from Elliot, cooking for Gus, the fumigation solution. He screws up a good opportunity and somehow manages to salvage it just to mess everything up again until everything was gone
The most damning point is when he has the perfect opportunity to throw Hank off his trail. Hank is convinced that Gale was Heisenberg. And that was that. Gale's dead, Heisenberg's gone. All Walter had to do was keep his mouth shut, keep a low profile, and keep cooking. Hank and the DEA would think that it was just someone copying Gale and would be chasing non-existent leads and Walter could complete his contract with Gus and then go his separate way. Instead he couldn't keep it shut, had to put Hank back on his trail, and then lead to Hank sniffing around Gus's operation and well... yeah.

Yeah but the first 3 seasons of Better Call Saul are boring as hell compared to Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is the type of show you can rewatch over and over.
Best place to make weird water color mixtures is the kitchen sink! i’m honestly surprised kid me didn’t mustard gas himself on accident, but the colors were fantastic!
The music was so brilliant In this scene and all of the cooking scenes, what I love most is the progression of taste in arrangement which corresponds with the progression of lab quality throughout the series. In season 1 and 2 they were still making meth in the trashy RV and the music reflected the quality of the lab, in season 3 and 4 the lab cooks were accompanied by orchestral instrumental arrangements to reflect the professional business-centered laboratory provided by Gus and in season 5 and this scene in particular the music reflects the grandiose nature of simply cooking for yourself without the added constraints of deadlines or threat of law.
Setting this lab up and tearing it down every couple of days must’ve been really annoying lol. Smart because it makes it much harder to find but annoying for sure.
This scene was a major influence when I directed my 4-minute short film about Screen printing. The use of camera angles, close-ups and editing were really inspiring and helpful.
If no one has mentioned it yet, the song is "On a Clear Day, by The Peddlers. What a lowkey funky gem. It is a cover of a Robert Goulet song from the 50's, I belive.
So here is what I find funny. Walt goes crazy over there being “one” fly in Guses lab saying it poses a risks to contamination. Yet he is perfectly okay with cooking in a house filled with bugs, fumigation, and other harmful chemicals lol.
1:11 this might be a bit far fetched but i think this nod symbolizes that they have to work with what they have or get to work but they also do it in the finale maybe it’s the same symbolism idk
It's interesting how there's always relaxing music and satisfying imagery in almost every scene where Walt is cooking. It's another way Vince Gilligan tries to get you to side with Walt even though he's a pretty evil dude.
My question is this; Did the houses actually get debugged or were they just contaminating neighborhood after neighborhood with meth lab chemicals...like the back yard of this house? I mean, some kid was going to play in that back yard again, and good old Walt is dumping anhydrous all over the place.
The show made it clear that Walt had no care for human or even children's lives for that matter. Considering that they ran an air tight operation, I would venture that they probably actually did debug the homes after, just spent an extra 2-3 days cooking than the usual debugging, complete guesses on my end, but Walts downfall was never amateur moves like not debugging homes after cooking in em.
Is anyone gonna talk about the song they chose for this scene? I've been listening to it nonstop all day. The BB soundtrack is incredible, I've found a lot of great songs
The scene with them on the couch watching tv and talking about Andrea and Brock is the one moment in the show you can genuinely tell they truly care for each other. In a mostly extremely toxic relationship, it showed at the end of the day they were truly each others best friend. Walt just had too much ego and couldn’t put it aside when it mattered most.
All the people saying that all Walter had to do this and that and he would never had gotten caught are forgetting that Heisenberg had a massive massive ego issue, which became the reason of Walter’s demise
One thing that always bugged me about Breaking Bad was the filters that they wore on their respirators. Chemical filters are always round, while particulate filters, like the ones they used, are rectangular. Totally not suitable for an environment with harsh chemical fumes. A small, obscure detail of course but one that would bug someone like me that works in the chemical industry.
As someone also works in chemical research lab, it doesn't bother me much. Small details like using correct filters would make me happy, but I also remind myself that many "wanna be" street illegal drug producers use these shows as an inspiration and not giving them correct information is also important. If they use incorrect equipment for their illegal stuffs, by all mean let them
02:07 ahh the New Mexico backyard. Thinning grass that's almost dead. Love the desert, don't miss the disgusting landscape at times. Near invincible weeds, plenty of "goatheads", and everything dead, dead, dead.
Vista 4 volte, l'ultima terminata un mese fa insieme a mio figlio, è indubbiamente la serie televisiva migliore che abbia avuto il piacere di guardare. Non ha punti deboli, il regista è stato semplicemente geniale. E questa, a mio parere, è la scena più iconica delle 5 stagioni, Gilligan non poteva abbinarvi brano migliore.
I'm jealous. I wish I could go back and erase it from my memory (all 20 times I've watched the entire series) so I could experience it again. My favorite show of all time, hands down.
I doubt it. He feared for his life in some parts but for a lot of it he was happy. Acknowledging the moment Skylar asked why he did it to which he responded with “I liked it. I was good at it. I was really… I was alive.”
I just realized how fitting a metaphor it is that Walt is now cooking Meth inside of family houses, since season 5 really sees Heisenberg completely taking over his own family, too.
I suggest trying it, if you can apply the harm reduction policy and only have access for a very limited amount. After the crash and recovery, you can reassess the effects with the comedown in mind: was it worth it? The answer is often "no".
while they are doing this, they are not clearing the house of pests, would whatever pests they were hired to fumigate chew through and contaminate the room?
Theres now a non zero number of houses in America that have had meth cooked in them by a fake fumigation company. Because i am positive somebody has now tried this being inspired by this scene.
I have always found it funny that I first saw this blue meth back in 1979 when I moved to Albuquerque. Didn't know what it was and never tried it but the guy selling it had no shortage of customers. Just saying
Imagine how pissed Hank would have been to find out Walt was operating a rolling meth lab through residential neighborhoods and poisoning families around town lol.
Don't those houses have nanny cams? If I was allowing a bunch of strangers into my house to get it fumigated I would have definitely put some cams around.
Vince Gilligan did such a good job of cutting the stress and dread of these characters' circumstances with an occasional moment of "maybe everything's gonna be alright." He just peppered them in there. And it was just the right amount.

It's kinda crazy how Walter manages to mess up every good situation he gets. The money from Elliot, cooking for Gus, the fumigation solution. He screws up a good opportunity and somehow manages to salvage it just to mess everything up again until everything was gone
He's a little man with a giant ego Mike said it best he just had to control everything instead of knowing his place and cooking.
The most damning point is when he has the perfect opportunity to throw Hank off his trail. Hank is convinced that Gale was Heisenberg. And that was that. Gale's dead, Heisenberg's gone.

Walt was so obsessed with a clean lab they spent an entire episode killing a fly only to work in a place like this lol
It's under fumigation, ain't no fly surviving in there with all those gaseous chemicals... wait.
He wasn't obsessing with a clean lab. He's was with a lot in his mind and the fly was his way to cope.
Wasn't about the fly?
Well they aren't going to find any alive flys in a fumigation site
The fly was lalo's dead spirit keep whispering "werner zieglerrrrrrrrrr" into his ear, it had to be put down.
I still think "Vamonos Pest" is a genius name for an extermination company in New Mexico.
0:10 judging by outside looking through the doorway both Walt and Jesse are clearly in Mexico to produce their product lol

Someone would have recognized the smell of meth in their home afterwards sooner or later.

They're like a traveling circus! Bringing their tent full of joy to a neighbourhood near you!
1:11 this might be a bit far fetched but i think this nod symbolizes that they have to work with what they have or get to work but they also do it in the finale maybe it’s the same symbolism idk
Worse than the underground lab but better than the RV lab.
I love how Jesse just leaves the front door wide open for anybody to walk in and help lol
“Hey, home owner again, how is the fumigation going?”
It's interesting how there's always relaxing music and satisfying imagery in almost every scene where Walt is cooking. It's another way Vince Gilligan tries to get you to side with Walt even though he's a pretty evil dude.
Thinking about the aftermath after he gets exposed, imagine all the houses that had to be condemned cause he made meth in them.
I really miss this show watching these clips from the show, gives me chills 🤗
They started cooking from RV to structured lab to other people houses
To get all that equipment into those cases must have been quite the feat of engineering
coolest montage in the series
I think crystal blue persuasion beats it
Burning down the lab was the best one
Ikr but the atoms have a weird color
