Product Information

Cranston wasn’t particularly fond of his bald head getting cold, so he kept asking the clothing designer to get him a hat. They finally decided to give it to him when he became his alter ego: Heisenberg. But after the series ended, Cranston didn’t keep the famous hat. It was Paul who took the hat home. Breaking Bad 's success caused numerous spin-offs and a media franchise. This includes a spin-off prequel series, a Spanish-language adaptation, a sequel film, a talk show, and a video game. [191] [192] [193] [194] [195] Real-life influence [ edit ] The third season also saw critical acclaim. Time proclaimed, "It's a drama that has chosen the slow burn over the flashy explosion, and it's all the hotter for that choice." [139] Newsday stated Breaking Bad was still TV's best series and it stayed true to itself. [140] Tim Goodman praised the writing, acting, and cinematography, pointing out the "visual adventurousness" of the series. Goodman went on to call the show's visuals "a combination of staggering beauty– the directors make use of numerous wide-angle landscape portraits– and transfixing weirdness." [141] After the finale aired, The A.V. Club said that season three was "one of television's finest dramatic accomplishments. And what makes it so exciting– what makes the recognition of the current golden age so pressing– is that the season has not been, as [another reviewer] put it in another context, 'television good.' The heart-in-the-throat quality of this season comes as much from the writers' exhilarating disregard for television conventions as from the events portrayed." [142] Of course, the Roomba plays a role in the plot, when Jesse searches for his missing ricin cigarette and the little robot might have the answer, and there’s something vaguely sinister about the way the machine carries on about its business whatever is going on around it. Perhaps - knowing this show - it's a message: the world carries on with very little regard for what we think is the desperately important business of our lives.

The hat becomes a marker as to which personality has taken over. When the hat is off we see the bald head of the pacifist, and when the hat is on it's clear we now see the antagonist. The hat is a non-ambiguous indicator as to which personality we are currently watching. a b Sepinwall, Alan (March 6, 2009). "Sepinwall on TV: Bryan Cranston talks 'Breaking Bad' season two".

The writers’ strike, in a sense, didn’t save him, because I knew by episode two—we all did, all of us, our wonderful directors and our wonderful producers,” Gilligan said. “Everybody knew just how good [Aaron Paul is], and a pleasure to work with, and it became pretty clear early on that that would be a huge, colossal mistake to kill off Jesse.” One of the important plot points in the series is that the crystal meth Walter "cooks" has very long crystals, is very pure, and (despite its purity) has a strong cyan blue color.

Jessica Hecht and Adam Godley as Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz– Co-owners of Gray Matter, a company that they co-founded alongside Walter, who left the business prior to its major success. Gretchen was a former flame of Walt's and partially the reason he left. The critically acclaimed episode " Ozymandias" references the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem of the same name, which describes the crumbling legacy of an overly prideful king. [85] [86] The episode draws parallels to the poem, as both antiheroes are left with little to show for their empire-building efforts. Austin Gill of Xavier University stated the episode "evokes the tyrannical aspirations of invincibility and arrogance of Ozymandias himself as represented in Shelley's poem". [87] Douglas Eric Rasmussen of the University of Saskatchewan argued that the "concept of hubris and being punished for grandiose projects that serve an individual's egotism are central aspects of each work". [88] Hank's death marks the beginning of a shift where it becomes increasingly difficult for Walt to continue to insist that he cooks meth for the sake of his family's well-being. By the series finale, Walt finally admits to Skyler that he became Heisenberg for his own ego: "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it." [89] Symbolism [ edit ] Pink teddy bear [ edit ] The pink teddy bear as seen during the second season Breaking Bad was created by Vince Gilligan, who had spent several years writing the Fox series The X-Files. Gilligan wanted to create a series in which the protagonist became the antagonist. "Television is historically good at keeping its characters in a self-imposed stasis so that shows can go on for years or even decades", he said. "When I realized this, the logical next step was to think, how can I do a show in which the fundamental drive is toward change?" [19] He added that his goal with Walter White was to turn him from Mr. Chips into Scarface. [20] [21] [22] Gilligan believed the concept of showing the full drastic transformation of a character across the run of a television show was a risky concept and would be difficult to pitch without other powerful factors to support it, such as strong cinematography and acting. [23] For his portrayal of Walter White, Bryan Cranston won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series four times, in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2014. [181] Cranston also won the TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Drama in 2009 and the Satellite Award for Best Actor– Television Series: Drama in 2008, 2009, and 2010, as well as the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series and the Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2012.
