Breaking Bad: The Complete Series Deluxe Barrel Edition 16 Blu-ray European Region B/2

Product Information

Saul Goodman makes an impressive first showing in Breaking Bad. In the space of two minutes, he goes from doomed kidnapping victim to Walter White's personal lawyer. He does this by recognizing Walter and then talking him into a client relationship. He starts this by asking Walt for a single dollar as a retainer, giving their conversation attorney-client privilege. The serial number on those barrels 00892-B can be read as a hexadecimal RGB code, and #00 89 2B is the signature Breaking Bad green color. Pure methylamine is a gas at standard conditions, but in the show we see that it's presented as a liquid. The most likely explanation is that the methylamine is either dissolved in water or some other solvent, or in water as salt (they replace the methylamine from the train with water after all) especially since no character from the show ever complains about the odor of methylamine, which should be a putrid fish-like odor. However, in the scene where Jesse reads Walt's shopping list, Walt asked for anhydrous methylamine, which would not be stored in barrels, but rather gas cylinders. It's likely that Jesse couldn't find anhydrous methylamine, and instead settled for solution of methylamine, which Walt would purify to get anhydrous methylamine. Scarface is an admitted major influence on Breaking Bad. The stated premise of the show is Mr. Chips becoming Tony Montana. However, this becomes far more overt in "Felina," the final episode. Breaking Bad's climax is a very deliberate nod to Scarface's.

In Breaking Bad, methylamine is used by Walter White and Jesse Pinkman as they use reductive amination of phenylacetone (P2P) to yield methamphetamine - a process they devised to circumvent the need to buy pseudoephedrine. This P2P and methylamine-based cook produces what became infamously known as " Blue Sky" in the American southwest. Though methylamine-based methamphetamine was traditionally considered as a less refined version next to its pseudoephedrine-based counterpart ( Hank Schrader describing it as "biker meth"), Walt's chemistry expertise helped eliminate any differences in quality between the two methods. Lydia is fluent in German and possibly other languages. However, her pronunciation appears to be very poor. Actress Laura Fraser claims to have gotten the role after lying about her ability to speak German.Case, Wesley (August 6, 2012). " 'Breaking Bad' recap: Episode 4, 'Fifty-One' ". The Baltimore Sun .

The paranoiac and anxious nature of her personality is contrasted in Better Call Saul. In the early days of her involvement in the drug trade, she seems much more confident and collected. This distinction indicates that her demeanor greatly changed as her involvement with Gus Fring and the drug trade grew deeper. It is the only hydrohalic acid that is not considered a strong acid, i.e. it does not fully ionize in dilute aqueous solutions. Some of Better Call Saul's ties to Breaking Bad are outright continuity nods. Characters return, and plot points from one show feed into another. However, some are more metaphorical and thematic. Throughout Breaking Bad, Hector Salamanca's refusal to look Gus Fring in the eye is a major part of their relationship.

Later, Walter, Jesse, and Mike Ehrmantraut use hydrofluoric acid to dissolve the body of Victor, who Gustavo Fring killed by slicing his throat with a box cutter. This time they are more successful, as they put Victor's body into a plastic barrel beforehand. Along with the body they dissolve the box cutter and the gun Jesse used to kill Gale Boetticher. (" Box Cutter") " So, what, is this going to become a regular thing, now? Meth cooking and corpse disposal? Jesus..." ―Walter White upon seeing the body in the laundry basket [src]Although the show makes a big fuss out of getting methylamine over the other important precursors, like phenylacetone, in reality methylamine is much easier to synthesize than the other meth precursors, and neither of methylamine's precursors are hard to find or restricted. Apart from the writers not wanting to show viewers how to make illegal drugs, there are a couple of in-universe explanations for this plot point: One of the greatest joys in Breaking Bad is just how much Walter has transformed since the show's first season. Walt reaches a point where he won't let anyone get in his way, and he's willing to poison a child. Long before then, he has tremendous reservations about his first kill. When the concentration of HF approaches 100%, the acidity increases dramatically because of the following equilibrium: Walter White and Jesse Pinkman first use hydrofluoric acid, stolen from the high school science lab, to dispose of the corpse of Emilio Koyama. However, Jesse disregards Walter's instructions about using a plastic container, instead choosing to pour the acid onto the body placed in a bathtub. This results in the acid dissolving through the bathtub and the floor, scattering Emilio's liquified remains into the hallway and forcing Walt and Jesse to clean up the bloody mess.
