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)

Over - S2-E10

Trivia: There is a Spanish language remake of this series called "Metástasis" that takes place in Colombia. Interestingly, Colombia has a highly successful mixed private/public healthcare system that covers around 97% of its population, which runs contrary to Breaking Bad's premise that Walter White becomes a drug kingpin in order to pay for his cancer treatments and ensure his family's financial stability, due to the United States' for-profit healthcare system.

Season 2 generally

Trivia: For most of season 2, Skyler is pregnant, but Anna Gunn (who plays Skyler) was not. The opposite is the case for the character of Marie: Betsy Brandt (who plays Marie) was pregnant during season 2, even though Marie was never pregnant during the show. In an episode early in season 2, we see Skyler rubbing lotion on her belly. That is Betsy Brandt's pregnant belly standing in for the close-up shots.

Trivia: The floor tiles in the hospital are all white except for 2 blue/green tiles in the same pattern as the BR & BA tiles from the logo in the credits. (00:13:00)

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode when Tuco shows up at Walter's house in the backseat of Jesse's car, he tells Walter to get in. As they drive off, the shot pans out to show the street sign across from Walter's house. The sign says Piermont, which is the real name of the street. In the show, the Whites live on Negra Arroyo Lane. (00:48:00)

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?

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.
