I stand by my earlier post ITT. Final scene of BB:

[Bryan Cranston is sleeping.]

"HAL WAKE UP! You're gonna be late for work!"

"Ugh, I had the weirdest dream."

Frankie Muniz: "And how!"

In the wait up for the second half of season 5 to start I've been rewatching the whole series. So good on the second time around. I found I've noticed so many little things I didn't pick up the first time around. Really don't want this show to end.

I recently rewatched them as well, and I reaffirmed my earlier notion that season 2 was the best. It's the last time the scenes between Walt and Jesse seemed so natural. Also, the scenes between Walt and Skyler. It's before Skyler and Jesse were hardened by circumstances, and Walt's character is more spontaneously human as a result of these two foils. Somewhere between seasons 2 and 3, all three character lose their souls.

It's an incredible show like that. In the wait for season 4, I rewatched the series countless times. So much there that I missed on the first and even second times around, and the only TV show I've ever been able to tolerate rewatching. Breaking Bad was basically all I had to do that I was interested in during the worst parts of my sleeping disorder, before I got treatment and reentered Planet Earth.


I thought season 3 was the best. Season 2 was outstanding as well, however, particularly towards the end when the show turned from dark comedy to just plain dark (and it has continued as such).
 
One of the best things about the show is the fact that they researched everything down to a tee.

The ways that they use to make methamphetamine in the show - such as pseudoephedrine reduction in the first season and combining phenylacetone with methlyamine in the presence of aluminum in a tube furnace in the rest of the seasons - are actually real ways of synthesizing methamphetamine.

Only thing that bothers me is the fact that they keep having to find methlyamine which is ridiculous. Methlyamine can easily be synthesized in your bathroom sink! An easy way to achieve this swap is to “bubble” ammonia (a gas) through methanol (wood alcohol) that’s been laced with a dehydrating agent like Silica gel. All of these chemicals you can get at your local hardware store.

Other than that - since methlyamine is so elusive in Breaking Bad - they could also use Phenylalanine (a vitamin supplement that is a phenethylamine derivative). All they would have to do is crush up the vitamin supplements, add lithium aluminum hydride (which is found in lithium batteries) and pour in some anhydrous acid and the phenylalanine will combine with the lithium to form methamphetamine.

I don't know how hard getting anhydrous acid is, but that seems simpler to me than combinign P2P (phenylacetone) with aluminum.

I'm no chemist, but that's just my two cents.
 
That is awesome Swamp. I dont know how true it is but you sound like you know what you are talking about. It would have been cool if they used those methods on the show instead of having a dependance on methlyamine. It would have shown the genius of Walter White a bit better.

I have this problem with certain shows/movies, but fortunately I haven't with Breaking Bad. I think that might be different if I were into meth, but I've actually never even seen meth much less used it. With the exception of adderall, concerta, and vyvanse haven't done any amphetamines either, so I've been fortunate to not get cravings while watching. The only exception was maybe Jesse's first time doing H with Jane. However, they show them shooting up with a stabbing motion instead of being slanted/on an angle, and it turns me off seeing it done incorrectly. I think of missed shots, weird bumps, and how Jared Leto's arm looked at the end of Requiem.


I can't wait for them to come back. I hope these last episodes are worth the wait.
