To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Out in the desert, Hank yells at Walt to drop his gun. Walt, in a frontal shot, extends his arm out to his side and lets the gun drop. When it changes to a low angle from behind Walt, suddenly this same arm and hand are down at his side instead of extended out.

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Hank looks for Walt in the desert, the weather changes from shot to shot. One shot is fully lit with sharp shadows and blue sky, the next one has no shadows with an overcast sky, back to blue sky and hard shadows. That goes on for about 20 seconds until Walt surrenders to Hank.

Ozymandias - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the shootout starts in the previous episode, Walter is handcuffed in the back of the SUV and trying to get to the floorboard to avoid the gunfire, and his glasses eventually fall off. After the gunfight when he is yelling at Jack from the back of the SUV, his glasses are back on his face, which would be hard to do handcuffed.

Granite State - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Uncle Jack and his crew are back at his compound watching the video of Jesse, we can see daylight coming in from the windows. Jesse mentions Todd's name, and Uncle Jack gets out of his chair to go and kill Jesse. When he walks outside to do so, it’s dark outside.

Sacha

Felina - S5-E16

Cornered - S4-E6

Walter White: Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears. It ceases to exist, without me. No, you don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!
