Yes, I am a fan of Breaking Bad, however, there are major flaws in the story
that just have to be addressed. Here are a few:
l. Walt Jr. is far too cooperative for a 16 year old boy. When asked to do chores, he always says, "Sure, Mom!" like he is soooo happy. Most 16 year olds are sassy, self-centered, sleep all day-up all night, talk back, spend 99% of time with friends, NEVER do housework, and more. His grades would tank, too, if his dad was as much trouble as Walt Senior.
2. Jesse's teeth are too perfect. A heavy meth user's teeth ground away with the constant use and gums are red, bloody, soft. Other users on the show have bad teeth, but not Jesse. NOT believeable.
3. There is hardly any mention of DNA. At all murder scenes in which Walt just walks away, his DNA would be everywhere. BOTH their DNA and fingerprints were all over Uncle Tio's house--case over.
4. At Tio's when Tuko throws Jesse and Walt's phones into the back yard, police would have found them, found their fingerprints and case over.
5. Jesse is not that attractive that super hot chicks would be after him. The actresses chosen to play his love interests are way too pretty for a guy who is a big loser. They are also too tall and too big for him. He seems overpowered by them.
6. The theft of lab equipment would have been noticed. Other teachers would have complained that things were missing. Schools keep up with stuff better than that. Each teacher uses the equipment, so someone would have noticed. There is always a bitchy woman/man on the staff who keeps up with stuff right down to pencils and erasers.
7. No one ever seems to be looking out a window to see murders and kidnappings. Just not realistic.
8. Mike would have immediately killed Walt when Walt killed Gus. Mike would know he had to get to Walt before Walt got to him.
9. Killing 9 in prisons? Come on!! Prisons have cameras everywhere. Someone would have seen something. NOT believeable.
10. When Hank was driving by the laundry, he would have seen Walt's car. We cannot believe that a skilled detective would rely on one person to drive him by that place only one time. He would have driven by at all hours of the day and night.
11. Walt would have spent his money all along for basic household needs. They were barely getting by, so he would have been buying groceries, new shoes for Walt, Jr., baby clothes, gas, etc. He would have always had a pocket full of cash, to make Skyler's life smoother. She would have liked that and he could have eased her along better.
12. Why did Walt make a pass at the principal? Does not make sense for him logically. We are to believe he does all things out of logic. This would only harm him.
13. We are told over and over how he does this for his family. All right-----we get it. You do not have to remind us....enough already.
14. Jesse throwing money away would not happen. He would be doing his best to show that he is a winner to his parents. He would have been buying things for his parents, sending his mom flowers on all occasions, and spending the cash on the girlfriends for diamonds, clothes, etc.
15. Jesse would not drive a beat up car. He would have a Lexus or Mercedes. All drug dealers drive the best cars in town. The local car dealers rely on them to spend their cash and everyone turns a blind eye.
16. Someone with the DEA would be on Walt and Jesse's side. The money is just too much of a temptation. They could have paid off their own informant.
17. Jesse and Walt's DNA would be in the UHaul Truck that did the magnet thing. The magnets would get traced back to the junk yard and case closed. A building used by police would have better security, too.
18. All junk yards have to give account for cars that are smashed. Even though they got rid of the RV, there would be enough left for DNA, even fingerprints. Case closed at that point. The title has to be on file. Someone would have seen it at Jesse's. It was parked there for many days.
19. Someone would notice that Walt was visiting Jesse in the hospital. Case closed.
20. The mask found in the desert would have had fingerprints or DNA from Walt. Case closed. It did lead them back to the school. DEA would have put in cameras and found Walt stealing more property. Most schools have cameras inside anyway. Case closed.
21. Once Walt gets all that money, women would be after him.
22. There are not enough female characters in this show. Women are always around where money is being made. Walt would have been tempted with plenty of 15 to 20 year olds. Hot chicks can sniff out cash.
23. Walt would have been using cough drops with all that coughing.
24. There is a mouth wash that cancer doctors prescribe for lung patients because of the dry mouth and odors. Walt would constantly be using mouthwash and cough drops.
25. NO one with lung disease can run up and down steps. He would be on oxygen therapy with the air tanks needed at all times. Uncle Tio has them and he is sitting. Walt would not be that active with real lung cancer. Lungs determine all movement of the body. He would not be able to move like he does. Even driving a car is difficult with lung cancer and chemo.
26. Nothing is said about the raids on Gus's delivery trucks. Law enforcement would have been involved, this would lead to Gus; case over. Even if it was not reported, someone would see bullet holes in the trucks. We are to believe that cardboard boxes saved Mike from automatic weapon fire???
27. Ted would not be all goo goo over a 40 year old pregnant woman. He would have a long line of 20 year olds in his bed.
28. Once Skylar found problems with Ted's books, he would have fired her. Men do not like bad news.
29. They can pay $800,000 for a car wash????? How is that money laundering????
30. Walt would have been traveling to the Caymen islands or other sites that will launder money for him. He could afford to hire a private plane.
31. Walt would have an alternate plan of escape. With 80 million he would have many options.
32. He would have been sending the family on long vacations, as in Europe or Australia. People with new money travel. He would keep them out of town and out of his way and out of harm.
33. Most people who live in the West do speak Spanish. A person with Walt's intelligence would pick it up easily.
34. Walt would buy diamonds and expensive shoes for Skylar. Woman can be bought off. Logically, he would appeal to her ego. As Ron White says, "Diamonds, that will shut her up."
35. The baby does not seem to grow very fast. Most children will not fit into a bassinet at age 6 to 9 months. Is that a real baby? Looks fake. Why is it always wearing a hat? In New Mexicto with heat in the 100's to 110's?
36. Skylar would have followed Walt to the laundry. case closed.
37. Friends of Crazy 8 would have gone to see Jesse as he was last seen with him.
38. The police are portrayed as bunbling fools. Not so. They are generally very thorough. Not believeable that no police officer can put two and two together.
39. There would have been a police report filed when Walt crashed the new car he bought for Walt Jr. No one gets away with that kind of damage without someone noticing. cash closed
40. Hank has plenty of chances to bug Walt's home or car. He would have put a bug there just to find out the truth, then, he could have built his case.
41. Gus's operation was way to big for him to rely on one person to cook. He would have had cooks all over the place. He could have set up labs in his trucks. He was too smart to put all his eggs in one basket.
42. Tio would not pee in a pool in front of the Don--never happen. Pee on flowers or people, but not the pool where gals are gonna be swimming.
43. Walt Jr. never changes. A kid at age 16 changes in many ways. His hair style is not modern. His clothes are like circa 1995. He is obviously not a teenage; poor choice for actor to play a teenager.
44. Jesse's shirts never get dirty. The white stays the whitest. He sleeps in clothes, but they do not wrinkle and he does not smell. Not believeable.
45. Hospitals film all visitors. Hank would have reviewed the tapes to see who was visiting Jesse. case closed
46.No one is going to take a loaded gun and put it on their own forehead and tell a drug addict to fire. This was so stupid. It shows that Gilligan does not know about REAL guns. He writes about guns like he has seen on TV, but the real ones. A loaded gun can misfire. SAFETY is the first lesson for gun owners. They respect the guns.
47. All the bullets get fired and no one gets hit? Or they get grazed? Would not happen. Even shooters who are bad shots would kill anyone in sight with those kinds of heavy automatic weapons.
48. Train robbery---totally NOT believeable.
All in all, too many things just are not believeable. Police are not that bad at their jobs and criminals are not that lucky.
