Continuity mistake: When at Tuco's house, Jesse is first shown emptying his pockets and then getting everything back, even going as far as showing the clean table at the first timestamp, but when he's back at his car at the second timestamp, he doesn't have his keys, supposedly left at the table.

Factual error: Hydrofluoric acid is so dangerous that no high school chemistry lab in the US would have a thimble full of the stuff around, let alone gallons. While it's incredibly toxic it's also a very poor choice for getting rid of bodies, which Walt would know.

Suggested correction: Walt also has never had to dump a body before. Hydrochloric acid would dissolve enough of the body to make it unrecognizable and easier to move, especially in a proper container where it can be transported. Plus this acid was more readily available to Walt and Jesse at this point in the series.

This isn't a valid correction. First, hydrofluoric acid was used, not hydrochloric acid. Second, just because Walt never had to dissolve a body doesn't mean he thinks it would. He should know as a chemist that it wouldn't. Third, you missed the point that no high school would have hydrofluoric acid on hand. So how can that be more readily available than something common and effective like lye.

Continuity mistake: When we see the shop worker walking through the Hi-Lo Mart, most of the shots are flipped. Pay attention to the price tags and in particular the name tag on the shop worker, plus the items she has gathered swap from her left arm to her right. (00:03:20)

Continuity mistake: Walt Jr gets Walt Sr to drink apple juice in the hospital, he takes a drink from a cup that's 3/4 full, then sits the half full cup down. Hank comes in and camera focuses on him. When the camera returns to a wider shot the cup of apple juice is now 3/4 full again. (00:40:35)

Trivia: The website Walter Jr. creates to raise money for Walter Sr. can be found at http://www.savewalterwhite.com/. The donation link used to send the viewer to a legitimate cancer charity's website, but now just goes to AMC's home page. (00:20:00)
