BB. Season One. Episode One.
We are introduced to Walter White, a mild-mannered chemistry teacher on his 50th birthday, on the day he realises that the doctor has given him two years to live (which was prescient to say the least, as he dies on his 52nd birthday).
Life has passed Walter White by, eking out extra money, working for Bogdan and his eyebrows at the Car Wash, putting up with disinterested kids at school who he can't inspire in his lessons and take great pride in mocking him at any opportunity. Mundane, domesticated and poverty is a constant caller.
His sex life is kaput, his kid (Flynn)suffering from (?) and has to walk around crutches, his previous success as a Nobel prize recipient seems so long, long ago. A brilliant mind, crippled by his day to day routine.
His chance to live rather than exist transpires on the day he is told he is going to die.
Flynn : How does it feel to be old?
Walt : How does it feel to be a smartarse?
Flynn : Good.
Walt has two years to make good. he spots his chance early, the larger-than-life Hank, his brother-in-law married to Marie, the sister of his wife Skylar, works for the DEA.
Walt loses his second job. Hank offers him a ride on his drug-bust. (Walt is shown being allergic to handling guns) During the bust, whilst Hank and the DEA mice are away, Walt spots Jesse, a former pupil, jumping from the neighbouring house, a woman with a fine pair of tits (though I thought this was a nod towards Walt and Jesse acting like a pair of tits on their first cook), the only nudity (iirc) in 62 episodes. Though, credit where credit is due, he did include a wanking scene (undercovers) performed on him by his wife (and later on in the series marie performs similar on Hank?).
Walt realises he can for the first time in many, blackmail Jesse Pinkman into setting up a crystal meth producing and selling enterprise. Jesse is amused but yet to become abused.
Jesse (talking about cooking meth): This isn't chemistry. This is art. Cooking is art.
In Walt, Jesse finds the greatest artist of all time. They bicker like an old married couple.
Walt : You are a drug dealer. Negotiate.
Walt : I am awake.
Jesse has the habit of finding trouble very quickly, this time in the form of two hoodlums, after the boom crystal meth, things go awry, matters reach life and death and Walt's knowledge of chemistry enables him to fight for another day, now with two possible dead bodies to get rid off.
Ahh, but sirens blaring, two bodies in the RV used for the cook, him with no trousers, Walt makes a short video to his family, says sorry and tries to kill himself (this cycle happens quite a bit in the series). The gun jams. The series continues.
Wish I had shazaam, would have zapped the app for about three tunes, especially the reggae one. Opening scenes - the natural background sound that plays heavy throughout, the new mexico scenery - superb.
Jesse (to walt) : You are a goddamn artist.
I am my own worst enemy and best friend, itsa bit of a squeeze in a three-quarter bed, tho. Unhinged!? If I was a dog I would be having kittens, that is unhinged. Footloose n fancy free, forced to fit, fated to fly. One or 2 words, 3 and 3/thirds, looking comely but lonely, till I made them homely.D
