Bit by a Dead Bee - S2-E3

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)

Peekaboo - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Skinny gives Jesse the address on where he can find the junkies who robbed them. When we see the piece of paper, the street name is Pampas. When Jesse gets out of the car, we see the real street signs, and that the house is on 13th and Marquette.

Audio problem: The message from Walt that Skyler listens to at the office is different from the audio earlier in the episode. Walt says "no" when we see him, but on the recording he doesn't say it.

Mandala - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After Combo is killed and Skinny leaves the operation, Jesse and Walt are in Saul's office, explain what happened, and they start bickering. From a side angle you see Saul lean forward in his chair as he yells "Guys guys!" to try and stop them. It then cuts to an angle showing Saul from the front and he's suddenly leaning back in his chair, not forward.

Peekaboo - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Walt and his wife are on the couch talking about Gretchen saying she was not going to pay for the treatment any more, Walt puts his hand to his mouth when she says that she called Gretchen back but she wouldn't pick up. His hand is over his mouth with his fingers pressed up against his nose. When it cuts to a different angle, suddenly it is just one finger against his lips.

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Walter and Jesse try to leave again, Tuco asks them what the hurry is and they say they are done. But then Tuco walks right up to Jesse in one shot and is staring him in the face as he nods. It then cuts to a different angle as Tuco says "You're done" But now suddenly he's standing face to face with Walter and then turns to look at Jesse.

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)

Over - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When we see Walt, Hank and Jr. drinking tequila, they either in the sun or not. Depending on the shot. While it can be said that sun comes and goes, these are instant cuts with no time for the sun to fade. (00:13:00)

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Trivia: There is a scene in this episode where Walter angrily tosses a box of pizza in the air in such a way that the pizza exits the box and lands on his roof. Before filming this scene, the crew had wondered how many takes would be required to achieve the desired result. Bryan Cranston nailed it on the first try.

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.
