8 corrected entries in season 2

(26 votes)

Down - S2-E4

Corrected entry: The pink bear is missing his eye on different sides. For example in episode Seven Thirty-Seven he is missing his left eye, but in this episode he is missing his right. Both scenes are right at the beginning of the episodes. (00:01:10)

Murron

Correction: It's a reflection.

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Corrected entry: When WW makes the calculation on how much he needs for his family, he gets to $737,000. He explains to his partner they both together make $70,000 a week and tells his partner they have to cook for eleven weeks. But that means his partner will only get $33,000. So they need to cook meth for 22 weeks (double) to get his partner paid as well. (00:05:20)

Gert-Jan Vermeire

Correction: He says "you and I both clear about 70 grand a week", meaning both of them each make about $70K a week. He's not saying combined they only make $70K.

Bishop73

Which 70k a week is 11 weeks with 33k to spare. Making his maths correct.

Ssiscool

The maths is correct, after 11 weeks Walter would have an additional $33k. However, the mistake suggests that the $70k per week is shared between them. They actually earn around $140k per week, which they then divide equally.

Grilled - S2-E2

Corrected entry: The White family has missing posters made up for Walt. However, they fail to include a phone number for tips or information to be passed on to the family. (00:12:30)

Ssiscool

Correction: There's fine print that you might not have been able to read. There's a line that says "please contact the police immediately at 505-145-4331 or call 911."

Bishop73

Using zoom, I agree that's it's there.

4 Days Out - S2-E9

Corrected entry: Near the start of the episode, Walt sees his PET/CT scan, the tissue mass is in the left lung. But later in the episode, the scan is reversed when the doctor is showing it to Walt. (00:03:00 - 00:44:20)

djm

Correction: When Walt first sees his PET/CT, he is looking at a reflection of the monitor, not the actual monitor. So, it would be normal for the image to be reversed.

Negro Y Azul - S2-E7

Corrected entry: In the desert, after Hank witnesses the head on the turtle, he runs off to his pick-up truck and catches his breath on the driver's side (left). The next shot is from behind the other cops grouped around the turtle. The vehicles can be seen in the background with Hank standing casually on the right hand side of the pick-up with the left door still open but no-one behind it. The shot then returns to Hank on the driver's side.

Correction: In the shot showing the vehicles, the driver's door is open and there is definitely someone standing behind it, you can see a black sleeve through the window and legs underneath the door. The man "casually" standing on the right must be another agent, not Hank.

4 Days Out - S2-E9

Corrected entry: When Walt is building the battery and explains how it works to Jesse, he says that the cathode is the positive terminal. The cathode is always the negative electrode and the anode is always the positive electrode. Walt is a chemistry teacher who would know the difference. (00:37:15 - 00:38:30)

Correction: "Cathode" can be negative or positive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode).

Correction: Cathode polarity with respect to the anode can be positive or negative depending on how the device is being operated. The battery is operated as a provider, so + = anode / - = cathode.

Correction: For a battery (Voltaic cell), the cathode is positive, while for an electrolysis cell the cathode is negative. That is the way I have been teaching it in both universities where I have been teaching at since 1978.

Over - S2-E10

Corrected entry: When Walt approaches the two dealers in the parking lot of the building supply store, the Jeep pickup parked beside the dealers' RV is much further away when it changes shots.

Correction: This is due to the angle of the cameras. Not a mistake.

Down - S2-E4

Corrected entry: In the opening teaser scene they show a man in a hazmat suit bagging evidence from the later revealed plane crash. One of the bags contain the eyeball from the pink bear. However in a future episode Hank discovers it in the pool filter, after the hazmat team would have bagged it. (00:00:55)

Correction: The teddy bear had two eyes. One was recovered by the disaster cleanup crew, the other ended up in Walter's pool filter.

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the episode, right after he tells Jesse how he used the red phosphorus to kill the gunmen, Walt leans down to vomit. You can see his microphone transmitter under his shirt. (00:54:20)

Phoenix - S2-E12

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)

More trivia for Breaking Bad

Show generally

Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?

dizzyd

Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.

The_Iceman

Answer: Walt decided to buy a car wash to launder his money, which makes a profit without the dirty money. At the end he blackmailed Elliot and Gretchen in to giving his money to junior and Holly. However 90% of his $80m is stolen.
